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. «rd Secoud Hand Ford* H. F. Stiff Wolor Cc.

Gude’s Pepto-Mangan Tonic and Blood Enricher 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.— alton Tribune.

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 by Use of PE-RU-Nfl 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.
