The buildings stand ready. But in
order to bring about the assembling,
systematic organization and habitual
meeting of citizens, to become intelli-
gent upon and to take care of the
common interest, it is necessary to
have the service of an authorized, re-
sponsible district clerk or secretary
on the job to look after the details
of arrangement, announcement, min

1t is unreasonable to expect that

ATLANTA'S DIVORCES
COURT IS VERY BUSY
No Less Than 1913 Couples Have
Cases ON Docket For Separation
At This Term.

ATLANTA.-Atlanta's monthly di-
vorce court ground out some inter-
esting incidents today, chief among
which was the marriage Of Mrs. Lena
Hudson to J. w. Dickson within five
minutes after she had been granted
final decree of divorce from ]. D.
Hudson. Dickson came into court
with Mrs. Hudson and as soon as
Judge Bell signed the decree they
went down to the ordinary's office,
obtained a license and in another
room found Municipal Judge j. B.
Ridley, who performed the ceremony.
Altogether there are 1913 cases on
the docket for this term, which led
Judge Bell to remark that Georgia's
divorce laws were in very bad shape.
He said there was undoubtedly col
fusion in many of the cases, but the
difficulty was to prove it,

the information that behind slope

masked and heavily armed and they
seem to appear from nowhere and to
disappear into thin air.
Rumors have come at intervals that
raids were to be made at certain
times on Nortonville, Darlington and
other places, but these have failed
to materialize. Yet it is believed that
the "possum hunters" are only biding
their time for the present and they
are expected to be heard from again.
If possible they will be met with res
olute men who will shoot and shoot
to kill.
During the past four weeks half a
dozen or more men have been beat
en- in Muhlenberg county and run out
of the state because, it is alleged,
they were witnesses to night rider
raid when store was attacked sew
eral weeks ago and five men shot by
the guard on duty. The band at this
place attacked the mining company's
store early in the morning. The two
guards having barricaded the upper
floors of the store poured a singing
fire into the ranks of the 800 men
who attacked the place. The fight
was kept up nearly all night, and
when at daybreak the raiders with
drew they took several wounded with
them. 1t was reported that some
were killed. The guards continued
on duty and have not been molested
again.
Another raid was made at Carbon
dale, which has been visited oftener
and with more severity than any Of
the other towns. On this visit a
boarding house was attacked and
Grover TODD and three other men
were shot.

in the infested counties. The local
newspapers do not print many details
of the raids, not knowing when their

temperance and prohibition senti-
ment Some recent converts are
preaching in double column edito-
rails and flaming headlines that
sound business, a good job and a full
pocket are demanding the abolition
of liquor, and this has brought the
reformation. The only trouble about
this is it's a lie. A conscience an

perance based, upon economic sclen-
tific. hygienic, philosophical, business
or social reasons is unreliable. Only

science. which enthrones God AL
mighty. can ever be depended on.
The man who is sober because it is
expedient, or honest because it is ex-
pedient, or moral because it is expe-
dent, or truthful because it is expe-
dent, will not be any of these things
when circumstances might indicate
that expediency does not demand 1t.
He who tries to regulate his conduct
on the doctrine of expediency ad-
vances forward somewhat like the
crawfish runs-always backward.
The doctrine of expediency has not
enough sense in it to know what ex-
pediency is. We must demand the
enforcement of Christ in the human
heart as the only basis for true adj
vancement. Regeneration and not
reform is what we want.

Temperance Union in Georgia so far
as it is related to temperance. And

glad to announce that the Anti-Sa-
loon League is reorganizing its en-
tire force, and plans and modus OPP

on reinforcement, the putting
down Of locker clubs and all other
infamous institutions, and it is also
trying to educate public sentiment to
where it will produce a conscience
on this subject. We heartily endorse

School Board President Says Pupils
Learn Not Modesty or Economy.
High school misses have been criti-
cised very severely at times for wear
ing dresses of the latest fashionable
cut, but have they been merely fol-
lowing the example set by women
teachers? President Taylor of the
New Jersey Federation of District
School Boards said the other day:
From looking at the dresses worn
by some of our teachers, pupils learn
neither modesty nor economy" He
even suggested that it might be nee
essary to put the teachers into uni
forms, high-necked, low-skirted and

man is who tells women they do not

"It is a condition we must face,

plain fact is to be faced that for the

must be provided with everything

can become self-supporting. War has
taken everything these people have,
and naturally they would come to US
