Special fp The Georgian. skvanah, Oa., June 7.—In the so perl or court Tuesday Judge t.’ann, aft er disposing of a number of divorce cases, took occasion to commend the Juries for providing In some cases that the offending party should not be al lowed to remarry. The presiding Judge expressed the opinion that such restrlc tlons would have a wholesome effect and would tend tq decrease the minv her of divorcee. Reference was also made to the increase in divorce*.. You are probably unaware of how this divorce business la on the Iff In this county,” aald Judge Cann. "It la a matter over which the Judge has absolutely* no control. .The court feels that It la not within hla province to charge the grand Jury on the subject "As long as husband or wife guilty of flagrant violations of the marriage vow the beet Interests of so ciety may require that divorces be granted. Whatever our personal views, those laws now stand. But the law wisely provides that the Jury has the right to put the party In the wrong under certain disabilities, and may deny to the person who has flagrantly vio lated the marriage vow the right to perpetrate such outrage* on any fu ture husband or wife. "The records show that In this coun ty In 1902 there were 140 divorce cases disposed of; there were 163 In 1901, and In 1896 there were 118. At the same time there has been an appred able decrease In the number of all mony caaea, this being due to the strict showing which ths Judge has required, that being a matter under his con trol.” GORDON INSTITUTE COMMENCEMENT CLOSES Special to The Georgian.
