Seven divorces in twenty minutes is a record made in Wake county Superior court. It is a crying shame that divorces are so easily obtained in North Carolina. The next should be quick to put a stop to this disgrace. The Dunn Guide prints a very uncomplimentary picture of the editor of the Washington Gazette- Messenger in refuting a charge made by the latter that closing saloons there had killed Dunn and caused the failure of two banks in that town. The Guide leaves no room to credit the correctness statement bat shows that it is without foundation. If the wholesale charge against senators and congressmen of helping to loot the treasury calls forth a joint resolution raising a congressional committee So gate the government departments tainted with scandal, great good will come out of it.

We see that Greenville, N. C, is to have a dispensary in the place of open bars. The town has done itself credit to carry this election. A dispensary is better than bar, much less a dozen. One of the very best steps ever taken by Raleigh i s the closing of tho saloons and the establishing of the dispensary. All that is necessary is to put the right men on as a board of managers and it is a success from the first. Make it a financial success as well as the best method of dispensing whiskey, and this will strengthen it among the citizens of tho town and the tax payers. People want whiskey, and will have it.

Russia is plainly at a disadvantage with regard to sup- plies and will of course be more so- after the inevitable capture of Port Arthur by the enemy.

But one has to get out into one of the little towns to get the real of his money. In such a place the theater is generally a large wooden building with a thatched roof and little squares of tin nailed around the door by way of ornamentation. Inside the men fit on right and the women on tho and the way the babies yell is a cut The plays arc of the blood and thunder sort, a day in June and ending like a political caucus.
