Rivers Signs Bill
To Stop Marriages
Of “Too Young ”
A,legislative act designed to pre
vent marriage of little girls, who
should be playing with dolls and not
in wedded life, has been signed into
law by Governor Rivers, Immed
lately after Its signing, however,
amendments were drafted for in
Production in the house and senate.
Appealing to the Governor not to
sign the bill, the ordinaries obtained
a compromise with Luther Blood
worth, Benning Grice and B. F.
Merritt, Jr., Bibb County represen
tatives, authors of the bill, The
sponsors agreed to push amend
ments to the bill seeklig to change
two sections objected to by the or
dinaries, headed by J. Forest John
son, of Troup County; T. N. Hoi
combe, of Lowndes County, and W.
A. May, of Brooks County, protest
ed the bill as enacted, and asked for
the changes.
The measure, as signed, shifted
responsibility for instituting suit
against any ordinary violating the
marriage laws pertaining to license
issuance from the clerk of n ie su
perior court to the parent or guard
ian of either marrying party. The
ordinary would be subject to suit
for violations in all cases where the
girl involved is under 21 years of
age. Suit for $506 could ’ c entered
and any damages recovered would
be divided equally between the su
ing party and county educational
fund. Attorneys’ fees would be de
ducted first in accordance with a
figure to be set by the trial judge.
The amendments, which already
have been Introduced in the senate,
seek to make the new act apply on
ly in cases where the girl involved
is under 18 years, and to divide
damages one-third to the suing par
ty and two-thirds to the counjy ed
ucational fund.

War! War! War! No, no mo

We American mothers rear our
young manhood for Peace. We do

or forced blindly or unwillingly into

price of war. War on people that

for, other mothers' sons that do

President Roosevelt ha* asked an
enormous amount of money for
armament. He stresses the fear
that Guam is in need of protection
by establishing an air base there.
This little bit of land is a far dis

place a base there would be flaunt

On One of These Peak* Overlooking the Town of Berchtesgaden in
Bavaria, Hitler Has Built Hia'“Eagle'» Nest” where He Goes to Plan
Germany's Future and Ponder His Own Fate.
This startling disclosure is made in the April issue of Cosmopolitan
in an article Karl H. von noted
called “Hitler Foresees His End!”
The Fuhrer, von Wiegand says,
gives himself six months more, per
haps a year, at the most two years.
And then . . . ? Hitler is already
living in a retreat — “Adlerhorst”
(“Eagle’s Nest”) — high in the
Bavarian mountains, which many
believe is his self-designed mau
soleum.
Whether this presentiment of im
disaster comes from a fear
r. «a# N ■
$
Adolf Hitler
Hitler, von Wiegand reports, is be
ing consumed by a fever of haste
and impatience, fearful that he may
not have the necessary time to
achieve lhe goals he set for himself
long ago: (1) To he the liberator of
Germany. (2) To be the increaser,
uniter and consolidator of the Third
Reich. (3) To be the destroyer of
Bolshevism. The flrst achieved. two goals
Hitler believes he has As
to the third, von Wiegand has al
ways understood it to mean the
creation of the independent *tat# of
of death through
illness or acci
dent, or whether
he foresees being
overthrown by his
enemies or even
his own people,
Hitler does not
say. All he will
commit himself
to is this: ‘Meine
Zeit ist nun kurz'
— “The end of my
mission in the
world is nearing.”
This is of
fving proportions
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly In the State)
divisible, with liberty and justice
for all,” and I do feel that our
country could have a far better sys
tem of defense and at a great sav
ing to tax payers, if we gave our
entire attention to repelling any
invasion, and protection of home
shores. No. we mothers have no
more noble sons to invade foreign
countries! We do not wish to see
the best of American manhood sent
to participate in war on foreign
soil, yet there 1* not a true Ameri
can that W'ould not place his life
on the altar of war for ids country,
and like Patrick Henry, say, “I am
sorry that I have only one life lo
give”—yes, we will protect our
shores with life, honor, money, serv
ice, but let us stay at home.
Peace! Be to thee, O brother man.
Where love abide, our God walks
there;
Where pity dwell there is no hate
And every song conveys a prayer!
Peace! Be to thee, O man of God,
Each man is thine own brother,
Extend a hand on life's hard way
To sorrow soothe, and love each
other!
Peace! Be to thee, O man so frail,
Meet differences with reasoned calm
Walk side by side with God each day
And s.nd a smile to meet the psalm!
Peace! Be to thee, O man of earth,
Make faith thy brothers measur
ing rod,
And strive each day to walk His
way
Be still and know that He is God!
Ukrania and the overthrow of the
Bolshevik regime in Moscow.
It is interesting to note that today
Hitler no longer flies, the same man
who traveled almost everywhere in
Germany in his own special plane
He has also given orders that Field
Marshall Goring and other impor
tant members of cabinet must not
fly. “An accident shall not come to
the aid of enemies of Germany,”
he explains.
The strength, the weakness of
Hilter, this paradoxical interplay
of emotions, how can they be ex
plained! Von Wiegand believes Der
Fuhrer stands under some mysteri
ous command: “that long and in
tense concentration on the idea and
thought of the attainment of power,
now achieved, has exposed him to H
j ‘might complex’ with all its mental.
emotional and psychic dangers.
I Hitler related to von Wiegand
j many years ago how the divine
mandate came to him. He was lying
in a hospital shortly after the war,
blinded from a gas attack on the
front. “And as I lay there,” he nar
rated simply, “it came over me that
1 would liberate the German peo
ple and make Germany great.”
That was in 1918. Today, more
than twenty years later, he is still
striving to make Germany great
But if he feels his time is short and
must act quickly, what does this
portend for the future and (he pen.
of the v , ? it is a question which
J must no; go begging. Only Hitlvi
‘or the democracies can answer it.

SCOUT NEWS f
By Johnntc DswUm
Troop 73 of Covington attended
Sunday School st tho Methodlsl
Church last Sunday morning. There
were 17 out of 30 present at the
service*. The speaker made a very
good talk in regard to scouting o»
any individual.
Troop 73 had its regular meeting
on Tuesday night, March 7, 1639,
The meeting was opened with the
pledge of allegiance to the flag and
the repeating of the scout oath and
the scout laws. Then we had ths
roll call, giving our good turns and
paying our dues. Then Mr. Coch
ran took time out to thank the boys
for their grand attendance at Sun
day School last Sunday. Then
came the report of the patrols. The
Silver Fox Patrol and the Flying
Eagle Patrol has a patrol den to
gether upstairs over Birdsey* Flour
Store, boxing gloves, and a pool
table in it and are adding things to
it gradually. Then we had inspec
tion.
All the boys went in tho beck
room to study signaling. A lot of
the boy* that had already passed
signaling and had forgotten It. I
think most of us learned something
more about signaling than wo al
ready knew. Message* were aent and
the boys tried to see who cuold get
it right the first time. Some of thft
boys had great difficulty in receiv
ing the messages properly.
Then we went back to the meet
ing room. We had two visitors fTom
Troop 67 attending our meeting.
Troop 72 and Troop 67 are planning
a field meet. Troop 73 has 9 game*
and races planned to challenge
Troop #7 in. You will hear morft
about the field meet next week.
There were 17 out of 20 boys pres
ent at the meeting. The meeting
was closed with the scout benedie
tion.
