12 Divorces
Are Grunted
In 2 Hours
Ci\ il Court Separates
Couples at Fast
Pace; Number Are
Continued
Divorces were granted in tiie civil
session of Vance. Superior Court today
at the rate of one every ten minutes
for two hours from the time court
convened until the hour of high noon,
and the process was still oging on
at that time, At that hour a total of
twelve couples had been separated by
the law'. Six had been continued, thus
accounting’ for 18 of the 30 on the
docket for attention the first day of
court. It was «xpected others wouia
be granted during the day.
Only two or three witnesses were
required and the ‘bill was read to
the jury, of which John William Beck,
Jr., was foreman. The paper
handed to him for signature, after
the other 11 men had assented by a
nod of the head or a “yes.”
Most of the divorces were being on
tained by white couples, and most of
them appeared to be on the ground
of separation. The 1933 General As
sembly in North Carolina reduced
from five years down to two years
the period of time in which separation
may be granted on that ground. There
were a few who alleged infidelity to
the marital ties as the groCTnd tot
seeking their release from matrimon
ial bonds.
Lawyers attributed the great num
ber of divorce suits docketed this time
to the .act L.ial tiie legislature had
cut the period of separation required
for a divorce. The number of suits
for this cause was unprecedentedly
large, and some thought it would not
be that large again, 'cccause this re
presented a number that might come
within the. law.

presiding over the civil term of court

BURIED 4 YEARS j
IN ICE AT LITTLE AMERICA
.. the Exitle batteries responded
to a flip of the switch
Chopping through ice to the roof of a building ,
they entered the frozen darkness. Some one found
the wall and idly snapped a switch the lights
flashed on ! Was it only yesterday that they had left?
The American public was amazed on hearing
this news-flash by radio. How could electrical
equipment, abandoned for so long in polar ice,
inap into action instantly? The explanation is
simple: the batteries hadn't run down. After four
years of lonely vigil in Antarctica, the Exide Bat
teries astounded the world with their phenomenal
performance.
You may feel that buying a battery for your car is
