A bill which would provide automatic divorce for all couples finding themselves without issue at the end of two years of married life, unless they could produce a certificate of impotency, will be introduced in the general assembly by Representative N.L. Broughton of Wake, according to a statement issued by him Friday, states a Raleigh dispatch.
“I want us to get as far away from monkeyism as we can,” he said. The purpose of this bill will be to do away with poodle dogs, cats and monkeys. In this connection I wish to state that I shall heartily support the measure to prohibit the teaching of evolution in our public and other state-owned schools. I deny the right of any teacher to draw a salary from the state of North Carolina or any of its subdivisions for teaching evolution to our young people. It is time to call a halt and I hope that if there are instances where evolution is being taught they will be brought to the attention of the general assembly.”
