Governor Montague.
Richmond, Vn., .Inn 17 ?Gov.
Montaguo tonight granted n ro
piievo to .1 Samuel McGue, who
was to have been hanged at CharlottCMvillu
Friday for the murder
of his vvifo, until Feb JOth, to
ivo miiu iiu inu Dimo supicuiu
court to consider hi> amended np
plication made today for u writ
of error and susperscdeas.
t he most practical plan that has
been brought to our Attention for
tho control of the conditions result
ing in the extreme low prices of
cotton probably is that proposed
by tne "American Cotton Growers
Union," recently incorporated
in Washington, pursuant to acts
of emigres. The proposed capital
stock has been fixed at on? million
dollars, to Go divided imp 'wo
million shares of tho par value of
$50 each. It is proposed that
subscriptions bo made in cash, or
in cotton at a valuation of S cents
a pound. The plans of the union
provide for tho accomodation of
throe million bales through subscriptions
an 1 by purchase, and
the stockholders are to have a
guarantee that not a hale of cotton
is to bo sold at less than 10 cents
a pound. When the 10 cents!
price is reached, cotton is to be
sold to consumers, and tho profits i
are to go to i toekholdors. In tho i
meantime all cotton is to bo stor- i
cd in warehouses in tlit; neighbor- |
hoods by which it is subscribed, i
riM. ~ : a .. - ii -i
I iiu union [?i uj)i>*?:n to use 111i US <
available capital in tlio purchase <
of cotton for storage purposes, <
and promises to give to stockhold- t
ers the prolils on nil cotton that t
may havo been purchased. The j
circulars that havo been brought
to our notice are signed by () I) (
Wilkcrson, general socrotary, t
Rooms 40S-409, Bond Building, <
Washington, and by Thomas W. j
Buckey, resident agent, at the I
same address. Wo havo no hesitation
in ondorsing the thoorctical
practicability of the plan outlined; ]
but as we kno >v nothing of tho 1
credibility of these men, wo would
not think of advising anybody to
subscribe to tho stock of the union i ?
<1
until after they had been assured
of the go^d faith of the undertak- .

lu bis Inaugural address, Governor
Glonn of North Carolina
uracil thu repeal of tho divorce
laws en.cted since tbo adoption of
the code of 1883. Thore uro live

.% 4 .. A .... ? 1 1
vm i?i in a SUHIIIVK 11)1" It'gUt supinations,
but wo are not informed \
us to how ninny of these wore
adopted in 1883. The governor
says that divorces are too easily
obtained in his Slide and that
there is not proper regard for <he
holy writ of matrimony. Ho is
of the opinion that while a change
might work sotno hardships on
the people, the conditions nevertheless
arc such that the laws
must bo modified. "What God
has joined together lot no man put
asunder," is the doctrine which
ho believes should ho followed,
and in that ho is coming over to
the South Carolina way of thinking.
" By adopting this law," says
the governor, "a few hardships
may follow anil some desorving
persons may have to suffer, but
the benefit to the public and tho
cause of good mora s will more
than outweigh the injury sustained
in a few cases. Marriago is a
most holy and sacred contract,
and should ho entered into only
after duo and prayerful considoraation,
but once solemnized, should
never bo dissolved for loss reasons
than those in force in 1883 When
people find they cannot bo easily
separated, but indeed take each
>'her for better or for worse,they
will bear and forbear with each
illior's frailties, thus preserving
tho sanctity of the marriage vow
mil adding to tho safetv. nuritv
? > ?/ l i /

The tone of his message is so
dear on ono important matter
hat many peoplo outside of North
Carolina will agree that Mr Glenn
s a good man for governor.?

Chogk Full of Fun.
A capital story is tol<l of a university
man who win tho stroke
oar of his crow and myinoiblo nth,
leto on the football fiold.
lie entered tho ministry and
spent years in missionary labor in
tho far west. Walking ono day
through a frontier town, a cowboy
bent on ba dog a lark, stopped up
to him and said:
((PupiiAti \*i\ t% ilnnf !?? ?* -U

fun. Take u drink.''
The minister declined.
!
"Well, parson," he said, "you
must have soiuo fun. Hero's a
card saloon. Tako a hand in a
"nine."
The minister declined.
"Parfi.11," said the cowboy,
"von'11 die if yon dont lmvo some
fun."
And he knocked tho parson's
hut otT his hea?l and hit him on
tho ear.
Tho old nthleto's spirit rose.
The science which ho had learned
in earlier days an 1 forgotten for a
quarter of a century was aroused,
and a blow on the jaw of that
cowhoy f>ent him sprawling in tho
street.
The parson walked over him as
if ho had been a door nig, picked
him up and dusted tho side of the
house with him and throw him in
tho road.
As the ambulance was carrying
tho cowhoy ofT ho raited his head
feebly and said:
"Parson, what did you fool me
for i You arc chock full of fun."
