Rending an Atlanta paper u few,days ago we were amazed and shocked at a statement that four hundred divorce enses were on tho docket for a hearing nt a single term of Fulton Superior Court. Eight hundred inismnted men and wom'efi praying to have their solemn marriage vows annulled 1 What n sor rowful showing for tho morality \of mod ern society I No question bears more heavily upon tho public conscience today than the need of a radical change in oar Stato laws relating to divoreo. The ease nad facility .with which married couples can lay off tiioir legally-imposed shackles Ih nil evil that erics aloud for reforma tion. Nay, more; it is a crime against so ciety and a flippant flouting of the laws of God nail man. Our Legislature should give serious consideration to this matter. We have been shocked and grieved by the gruesome details of the wholesale murders committed by that Jasper county farmer and his, negro accomplice daring recent months. The writer llrst saw the light in Jasper county on Nov. 211, LS27, and It was also tho birthplace of one of Georgia's greatest statesmen, Hcaj. It. Hill.

It was a chemistry class, aud the aged professor, who was anything but .-a pussyfoot, was doing u stock experi ment, which consisted of blowing vigor ously upon some blue crystals, where upon they turned yellow. When lie had finished he asked the visas if they hud any questions to ask. “Yes. Bir,” came a voice from the Pack of the room. “Will anybody's breath do that?” representations but seek only political power. The smne falsehoods are being used in Georgia as were used in Seattle to induce that city to buy its street rail ways. where in 21 months the street rail- ways under Municipal Management cre ated n deficit of $1,502,500, nud where the Street Railway employees are now lining paid by City Warrants instead of Cush, it is just a repetition in Georgia of the some tricks practiced in Seattle, whore the public have been fooled by po litical adventurers into voting $1.",0011,000 ostensibly to obtain cheaper cur fares lint in reality to euntile the politicians to play with in City politics. Cur fares havo boon increased far beyond wlmt the private Company charged aud tlie Seattle taxpayers are out a million nnd linif dollars in 21 months. The Georgiu branch of tho same brand of socialists nrc asking for ten times as much of your money for similar purposes. Hon. E. H. Griffin, * 1 Bninbridge, Georgia. "Dear Sir: 1 have noticed in the State press Unit you are actively opposing the pro posed bills of the Municipal League and I am taking the liberty of addressing you on this subject nnd wishing you ' Godspeed ’ in this work. •' When these measures were first pro posed they seemed very fair, and I was inclined to favor them, but ns 1 made a deeper study of them, 1 found them to lie very dangerous measures, “if these bills become law, we could have another era of of 'carpet ling' lieud issues that' would bankrupt our entire State, aud make it impossible for any one to interest outside capital in helping us to develop our natural resources. “1 am cagcgeil iu interesting Eastern capitalists iu furnishing money to help us develop tlie jH'enn industry in South Georgia. I visit almost every city in the North uud Hast, and have presented our proposition ficcessfully to the leading bankers and other monied men. nud in every instance one of the very first ques tions that is naked is. 'what protection do Iho Georgia laws give foreign capi tal?’ Uu until recently I have been able to tell those men convincingly that every branch' of our Statu government gave am ple protection to outside investors, tyit tlie recent activities of the Municipal Longuu, nml the vicious attacks on the Ruilrond Commission have been so. well advertised by the Atlanta papers that I have found Eastern capitalists very slow to furnish the money that is tlie very life blood of my business. “The Atlanta peoplo and the Atlanta papers would resent tlie idea that they iinvq been doing grent damage to the Stato ns a whole by their attacks on tap-, ital, mid i will credit them with linving done tliia ignorantly, anil without intend ing tlie far-reaching effects of their- nets, but they have given tlie State so much ad verse advertising, that I find my business greatly affected, and tlie Eastern capital ists have frankly told mo that they do not cure to put money in the State whoso capital city is so tainted witli bolshevism. “Thu leaders of the Municipal League may mean well, but their doctrine and their ideals do not appear to the men to whom 1 have to go for money to develop my business. Those lmfd-licnded busi ness men are satisfied with a small rate of interest, but they demand complete safety for their investment, nml insist that the ipornl risk be reduced to tho minimum. “The Municipal Longue may not know that there are in South Georgia about Bixty thousand hitch of magnifi cent pecan orchards, and that almost every orchard Ims been financed by Northern men. The nut crop brings into Georgia about $2,000,000 annually, which will largely increase ns tho years go by, nml practically every dollar of this is due either directly or indirectly to the outside money that made it possi ble to bring these orchards to maturity. “it may seem a far cry from ‘water power’ to 'pecan orchards,’ but the same typo of mou finance both, and they have already become weary about help ing us to build our pectin orchards, nnd frankly toll me they fear for tlie safety of tiioir investments, if the enthusiastic dreams of the Municipal League get con trol of tlie Legislature. “1 have no personal or financial ih- terost in any corporation in the State, except in certain pectin orchards iu Ran dolph, Calhoun, Lee, Dougherty, ' arid Mitchell counties. “I have no interest nor concern in tlie Atlanta ‘gas rate,’ nor do I care in the least whether or not Atlanta buys or makes her own power, but when self- seeking politicians would, with one hand, tear down our eonstitutiomil limitation on taxation, while with the other they wave tlie red flag of socialism, then 1 feel that it is time for tlie sober mind ed business men of Gcoigiu to got in the fight, aud sweep these fellows into the politionl rubbish heap. ‘' \ on have my best wishes in your manly fight, against tlie nefarious schemes of tlie Municipal League, anil i hope that you will feci free to call ou me, if 1 can assist you in any way, not ns a lawyer, but as a business man who is proud of his native State, and proud of the part- he Ims taken in help ing to build up some of the waste places of South Georgia. “Again assuring you of my interest, nml with highest personal regards and l>cst wishes, i am, “Yours very truly, “A. S. PERRY.” DODSON. Next Sunday is “homecoming day" at Liberty Christina church. Every body is invited to come mid bring well- filled baskets. Mr. P. II. Gibson is in Florida on n fishing trip. Mr. W.
