EVERY INTEREST HURT"

We recognize that the amount in- volved is trifling and it's principal value in evidencing our desire to jcin with many others in helping the cotton farmers to secure fair price for their product and also an evidence to the trade at large and to everybody that when this great agricultural commod- ity is marketed at a loss to the producer then, in our opinion, every interest is hurt and we strongly recommend that sustaining funds from every source, in- cluding individuals and country banks on up to the head of the great reserve banks. and that the government could not show a higher function than to come at once to the aid of the farmers of America from cotton, corn, wheat. cattle, everything. Deflation is hitting them the hardest and 1t is fast reach- ing the point where disastrous results could come.

PECULIAR TAhGLE IN
PARVIS AhHULMERT
Wife, Who Had Obtained Decree
Nisi From Former Husband,
Protested Legality.

With the recent awarding Of a decree
of annulment bv the Superior Court to
Thomas b. Parvis, a case that for awhile
proved rather puzzling has been cleared
up
Mr.. Parvis, who is well known electri-
clan Of this city, alleged IN his petition Tor
annulment that his wife, who was Mamie
Wolfe before her marriage, had another
husband living named William spence.
He set forth that his wife bad told him
that her marriage with Spence had been
dissolved and he took her word Tor IT.
Investigation of the records disclosed
that in the case of Sp ence vs.Spence only
a decree had been granted and not m
absolutd decree of divorce. Mr. Parvls
ceased then to live with his " ife, but
supported her and filed n petition Tor
annulment.
Mrs. Parvis, in her answer to the peti-
ton, denied that she had husband nv
ing at the time Of her marriage TO Paws,
claiming that her marriage to Spence va
void because he, when he was married to
her, had wife living, whose maiden name
was Elizabeth Allen.
Further inquiry developed that there
were two cousins named William spence
Of about the same age and very little
different in personal appearance: that
there was a record Of marriage between
William Spence and Elizabeth Allen, as
Mrs. Parvis had claimed, but that this
William Spence was not the one who
married Mamie Wolfe
Alexander Jamison and Frank L.
Speakman were attorney for the plaintiff
and Philip Garrett for the defendant.
