THE DIVORCE EVIL ON IN
CREASE.
From ewspaper reports, especial
ly from the largest cities of the na
tion, the divorce evil appears to be
on the increase. Such a condition is
unfortunate, to say the least. Matri
mony is the roost binding and sacred
contract men and women can enter
into ad when the vov.s have once
been taken they should stad until
cancelled by death.
In Savannah a few days since,
Judge Peter . Me'.drin, of the Su
perior court, in commenting on the
divorce evil and on divorce case;,
coining into his court had the fol
lowing to say:
“From the days of Socrates and
Xantippc, men and women have
lrinown what it meant by nagging,
although philologs cannot define it
nor legal chemistry resolve it into
its elements. Humor cannot soften
it nor wit divert it. Prayers avail
nothing and threats are idle. Soft i
-~ords hut increase its velocity and
iar-h ones its violence.
“Darkness has for it no terrors
md the long hours of the night
nave no drapery of the couch around
lbout it. Thech amber where love
and peace should dwell becomes an
inferno, driving the poor man to the
saloon, the rich man to the club. It
takes the sparkle cut the wine of
life and turns at night into aches,
the fniiU of the labor of the day.”
Judge Meldrin is sound in his
thought and if a more serious con
sideration was given to the marriage
vows there would be less divorces;
less sorrow, suffering and wrecking
of homes.
In rctcnt years divorces ha .e
grown to be cheap. Imaginary
i;r;>u:.‘is are allowed for which di
vorces may be secured and it is sel
dom that a court refuses to allow
the petition of cither teh man or
woman seeking a separation of what
should have been a life partnership.
In Atlanta the courts are crowded
with divorce suits and at every term
of court divorces are granted as
rapidly as the applications can be
read out. Such acondition is serious
to the welfare of society and to the
morals of the community. Until dras
tic restriction* are placed upon the
granting of divorces, this evS will
grow and the morals of the country
wi-0 be depreciating and our people
retrograding to the dark aged. Xb?
legislature should strengthen our di
vorce law insofar as making it more
than a more form to petition for a
divorce and have it granted at the
earliest term of court. There is too
much at stake for our people to
grow into a state of utter disregard
for law and decency.
IS TIE WORLD GROWING HARD?
In a nsc te world is growing
harder, because it is growing sound
er and more mature. Hardness need
rut mean harshness. The lines are
S' drawn tighter, but only upon
ti ■ old weaknesses, the old fabbi
n \ which used to make such eon
rtant call upon the virtue of sym
pathy and helpfulness. People stand
upon their own feet more than form
erly, have less need to ask aid, have
leas experience with the causes
which may reduce people to the
necessity of asking help, and there
fore the Old precepts which made
this form helpfulness the chief virtue
are passing away. It is not that the
world is harder, but conditions have
changed, and we are not wise to
conclude that because things are
different they are therefore worse.
It is our duty not to protest change
but to interpret it.—Henry Ford in
The Dearborn Independena.

ANOTHER V.I3E BILL.
Representative Charles H. Brand,
r the eight Gc rgia di trict. has
introduced a hill to repeal that par
of the revenue act of 1921 which
requires an income taxpayer to pay
an assessment the correctnc-s of
which hs di.-putes, r. eking it the
duty of the government to accept
a bond for the eventual condemna
tion money, conditioned to pay the
said assessment or s-> much thereof
with interest should the taxpayer be
finally adjudged to be lible th refor.
After the taxpayer makes his in
come tax return and pays th: taxes
due thereon it oftens happens two
<r three years thereafter the gov
ernment has this return gone over
arTd increases the amount returned
by the taxpayer, which he is called
upon to pay.
In hundreds of cases the govern
ment does not t&ice ,tne taxpayers
• worn statement as to the truthful
a of the return, hut increases
•he tax and makes an arbitrary
i: re: ,mpnt against the taxpayer for
eh is increase.
If the taxpayer contest th? cor
rectness of this assessment, he is
required to pay the same : n ad
vance,* his only recourse being to
file a claim for reimbrusement later.
The object of Judge Brand’s bill
to change this harsh rule and
, < peal so much of the law as au
thorizes the government to collect
the assessment in such cases ;n ad
vance, and in lieu thereof compels
he government to accept a bond
from the taxpayer, payable to the
government, with good and solvent
security the eventual condemna
tion money and contiioned to pay
whatever sum, if any, the taxpayer
may he finally adjudged to pa;'.
Judge Brand contends th ■ law,
is it stands is unjust becau .e one
ict only gets no interest on this
money if it is subsequently held the
taxpayer is not liable therefor, but
it takes from six months to two
years to get the money back. Be
sides, in many cases, it works a
hardship to make this cash payment
because it takes that much money
out of the taxpayers business
which is needed to carry it on suc
cessfully.
Sometimes the taxpayer hasn’t
the money, and it is difficult to
borrow it. For these reasons, Judge
Rrand contends the rule is unrea
lonable and ought not to be longer
tolerated.
The Georgian’s bill is a good one,
and it ought to be enacted.
Several days ago Representative
Crisp, of Georgia, introduced a bill
to reimburse a taxpayer for ex
penses incurred in defending the
correctness of his returns against
alleged additional assessments when
it shall develop that the original
returns and settlements made by
the said taxpayer were correct.
Mr. Crisp’s bill is very impor
tant and in the revision of the reve
nue act of 1921 it is hoped the
provisions introduced by these
Georgia members of congress- may
be favorably acted upon.—The
Atlanta Constitution.
WHEN WINTER COMES
PHILIPPINES PLAY BALL
Manila—The baseball season in
the Philipines is now in full swing,
and close observers declare that
greater interest has been shown in
the game than for many years.
The amateur championship of the
islands will be decided during the
third week in February when the
annual carnival is held in Manila. By
a process of elimination amoung the
various leagues ( not only in Manila
but in the outiying provinces, the
number of teams will be narrowed
down so that the series of games
which will decide the champinoship
:ai\ be played off in one week.
Another thing to be thankful for
is that Georgia did not lead the
country in lynchings last year.—

CENTERVILLE DEFEATS
LITKCNIA AT EASKETSALL
Centerville Ga., January 23. —
One of the prettiest, fastest and
most exciting games even played by
the Centerville team, was played on
Lithonia's court last week, Wed
nesday, January 23, the score being
17 to 11 in favor of Centerville.
At the end of the first half the
score was 9 ot 4 in favor of Lithonia,
the Centerville boys being unable to
sink their shots. But in the second
half, the Centerville five rallied and
not only rang up enough points to
tie the score and win the game but
played a good, defensive game.
Davis was hte high scorer for
Centerville, getting C out of (he 17
points with Moore following him
with 5 points, while Camp and Shell
played a fine game on the defense.
Campbell played his u.-ual good
game, doing his best pass work and
.'ticking to his man when it was ne
cessary and leaving him when the
ball came within range.
Here’s hoping that our hoys will
scalp all who come within their
range as they did with the Lithon
ia ns.

Sick for Ten Years
Gained 60 Pounds

Read This
Mr. John Wick
No matter how long you have
been sick or how much you have
suffered, you must not give up
hope. Mr. John Wick, of Mono
monee Falls, Wisconsin, did not
and is a well man today. In Sep
tember, 1918, he wrote: “I have
been a user of Pe-ru-na for near
ly twenty years. I had catarrh ot
the stomach for ten years. Noth
ing did me any good. I grew
worse until a friend advised me
to try Pe-ru-na. While using the
first bottle, I felt I had found
the right medicine. I am entirely
cured. My weight was down to
135 pounds and now 1 weigh 195
sounds. I have used very little
•nedicine for the last ten years.”
The condition known ns catarrh
il is not confined to the nose and
hroat. It tuay be found wherever
here are mucous nietnbrances and
s responsible for a multitude of
roubles. Coughs and colds are
■atarrhal as well as stomach and
towel disorders.
Do as John Wick did. Keep Pe
u-na in the house. It stimulates
digestion, aids in throwing off the
poisonous secretions, enriches the
blood, increases the resistance tc
disease and promotes good bealtl
generally. ,
Insist upon having genuine Pe
ru--na in cither tablet or liquie
form. Your dealer has it.
