BETTER WITHOUT.
What An Ohio Judge Has to Say About
Divorces.

Evidence continually multiplies that
South Caroliua's lack of law works
better than divorce laws in other states,
even thoug gh thoy be not very liberal.
One day last week, Judge Frank X.
Dellenbaueh granted seven divorces in
tho divorce division Of the common
pleas court in Cleveland, o. In grant
ing the seventh he said: The number
OF divorce cases coming before this
coSrt is appalling" Hunting for an ex
p!aotiop, he said:
'"Two-thirds of the divorce cases
that come before me are due to early
marriages. l believe that the same
would hold true in all divorce courts.
Young people marry before they are old
enough to form sensible views on mstri-
mony or on the character of those they
marry. There have been young wives
here weeping for divorces who must
have been so young at the time they
were married that spcnking would have
been more appropriate. Young men
are as great fools as young women.
There is another class of foolish mar.
rias ses in which matrimony is contract
ed before the parties have been acquaint-
ed long enough to know each other
thoroughly. These hasty and unfcrtu.
nate marriages are usually contraoed by
very young persons, so that it comes
bsck to the same proposition Of too
early marriage. When the in njudioious
marriage has bee n made there is moth
Ing left but life Of misery for each Of
the parties to it or the divorce court,
and as the divorce record show keeps
growing. Ii is shameful, and the lessons
OF the divorc eoOurt ought to teach
young pc ople who are in hurry to get
married to 60 SLOW"
1t seems to The Record that the
Ohio judge beat around the bush for
the real and palpsble reason for the
condition for which he wa, seeking
a cause Ii in Ohio, as in South Caro-
lima, divorces were prohibited, there
would not only be no divorces, but the
marriage contract would have greater
sanctity. Knowing it to be binding,
people would not SO lightly enter into
it as they do where they know that
should the marriage fetters prove gall
ing, it is very easy matter to get
judge to remove them. Worse, if
person after marriage meets some one
whom he or sho fanoies more that the
first partner, the divorce court offers q
ready way Of d,fying the divine com.
mand, Whom God hath Joined to-
Sether, let not man Iut asunder," and
so making it possible to crafty the
fancy. From all such evils South Caro-
lima is free, and may she ever be free
from them.-VOolumbi Record.

One Wise Man and 80 Fools.

Mr.. P. 7. Burkholder, of this coun-
ty, close reader and careful thinker
on the political issues of the day, says
that the people have made mistake
in sending one hundred wise men to
the constitutional convention. They
should, he says, have sent only one
wise man and SO fools. Then there
would have been less talking, fewer
differences and more doing. He thinks
too that mistake has been made by
our campaigners giving it out that no
white man would be disfranchised.
The word negro should never have
been mentioned in the convention.
The great majority of negroes can
never be DISTINGUISHED by law that
will not exclude some ignorant, worth
less whites, and property q:alifca-
tion should be the chief feature of the
new suffrage law of Virginia.

When old age comes on, catarrhal dis

most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so Indispensable to old people. Peruna
Is their safeguard. Peruna is the only

Such cases cannot be treated locally :
nothing but an effective systemic rem

what Peruna is.
