The Secret Of A Failure
Advice on labor time and wages stresses being paid for time and not overworking. Warns against overtime, urges clock watching, and notes the old saying Industry is the price of Success. Also reports S. P. Benner acquitted of bigamy in Superior court. Italians seek return to Peace Conference after withdrawal. Two Asheboro newspaper men assaulted recently.
Benner Acquitted In Bigamy Case On Retroactivity Grounds
The friends of L P Benner heard of his acquittal by a Superior Court jury on a bigamy charge. The verdict followed an odd legal fight over retroactive application of a 1913 North Carolina law. Benner’s second marriage occurred in South Carolina before the act’s effective date, so no law could apply retroactively and he was found not guilty. The article also notes deaths and local items including Mrs. Jonathan Adams, travel news, a film showing, and local business notes.
