BACHELORS AS CRIMINALS

BachelorhoOd is a crime, according
to Rev. w. N. Ainsworth, of Savan-
nah, who says that every man of lc.
gal a.e, able to support wife, is
Sinking duty to himself, to some
woman, and to his nation by staying
single
However, Americans are not entitled
to a severe Indictment for hardness in,
or scarcity of, marriage. For in this
country they marry early and, some
times, often. In fact, there has been
a frequent charge that Americans mar
ried too young, and no less a persons
age than DR.. Lowell, president of Har-
ward University, says that men ought
to wait until they are around twenty
eight just before entering the state Of
wedlock.
After all, regardless of what Presi-
dent Lowell or anybody else says, it
is a matter which will differ with in
dividuals. Thousands of couples have
married young and lived happily ever
afterwards; and then just as many
more have waited perhaps, they were
obliged to wait-until they we're we'd
up in years, and they lived unhappily
Certainly no fixed rule can be estab~
lished as regards the age limit for
marriages.
Napoleon married at twenty ?seven
and again at thirty-nine; Milton at
thirty-fye, and again at fifty-fve;
Shakespeare at nineteen; Caesar at
the same age; Cromwell at twenty
one; Alexander at thirty; Marie de
Medici at twenty-seven; the Duchess
Of Marlborough at eighteen; George
Eliot at fifty-nine; Madame de Main
tenor at sixteen, and again at fifty,
Catherine~II. at sixteen. Abraham was
seventy-tive when he married Sarah.
OF these not more than three resulted
in mutual happiness, and yet the ages
range all the way from, the spring of
youth to the winter of old age.
When Rudyard Kipling made his fam
Duh tour of the United States some
fifteen or more years ago, he was i'm
pressed with the number of young
married couples. He said then: "The
natives of most classes marry young
-absurdly young One of my inform
ants said that from twenty to twenty
four was about the usual time for this
folly. He said it was a general Gus
tom, and not confined to the constftu.
tonally improvident classes. 81 guess.
perhaps, very early MARRIAGES may
account for a good deal of the di-
vorces,' he said. Coming from
england, a land where man begins
to lightly turn to thoughts of love not
before he is thirty, own that playing
at housekeeping before that age ra-i
ther surprised me. Out in the west,
though they marry, boys and girls
from sixteen upward, and l have met
more than one bride of fifteen-hus-l
band aged twenty"
1t is true in this country now, as in
all countries during period of war,
that there is an increase of marriages,
and the majority are among the veryl
young people.

THIS Is REALLY INTERESTING.

Readers of the Hearst newspapers,
Of which the Atlanta Georgian is one,
have doubtless missed the editorials
en- an early peace, and why Germany
is invincible, and the duty of the Unit
ed States to make overtures, etc.
Such editorial subjects were so fre-
quent with the Hearst newspapers, of
which the Atlanta Georgian is one,
that one expected them as often as
the Hearst papers arrived-the Atlanta
Georgian being one of the Hearst pa
pers.
But recently these editorials have
not appeared. other subjects have
been discussed, thoroughly innocuous
subjects, dealing with the high cost
OF living, mans inhumanity to man,
etc, etc Some have wondered why
the Hearst newspapers-of which the
Atlanta Georgian is one-so abruptly,
SO completely, changed its editorial
policy. Some few actually knew. One
of those who did know was, and is,
tie New York World, and regarding
the matter the World says
''Her Won Hearst Runs
to Cover"
Her Won Hearst's newspapers
have ceased to print editorials de-
claring that Germany cannot be
defeated. They have ceased to
print editorials advising the Unit
ed States to save itself from dis
astter by making an immediate
peace with the Kaiser.
This has not happened because
the Hearst newspapers have sud
denly become loyal to the United
States, but because the Postmast-
er General now has power under
the law to suppress seditious and
reasonable publications and pre-
vent their circulation. The other
German newspapers in this coun-
try have joined Herr won Hearst
in this safety-frst stampede. Play
ing the Kaiser's game has become
an extra-hazardous occupation.
1t would be very unfortunate, of
course, if the government notified M.
Hearst to cease publishing his news
papers-of which the Atlanta Geor-
gian is one-and so Mr.. Hearst has
Suddenly forgotten how imperative it
was to make peace--a peace satisfac-
tory to Germany has taken up
edltorally those other subjects not
forbidden by the espionage law All
of which is most interesting.

One of our best citizens made
a remark this week TO the writer
that he was MT going to pay "a
dollar for the Times-he would
do without the paper, first. He
thought it ought to remain at
the old price Of fifty cents year.
I We are sure the editor would
leave it at the old price if he could
afford 10 do so, but this citizen
failed to take into account that
everything about printing, espe-
CHILLY paper, has advanced enor-
mously. Over 800 papers have
had to suspend publication be-
cause of tins increase In price,
and other hundreds will have To
do so in the future. Now, peo-
pie of Powell county, let us all
rally around to our county paper.
The writer thinks it is duty
that every householder in the
county take his own county pa
per and not borrow it from his
neighbOr. He owes that much
to his county as a good citizen.
He has no more right to refuse
to take the county paper than
the man who farms refuses &c
buy farming implements because
he thinks he can always borrow
tools from has neighbors. The
writer does his best To make the
paper of interest TO Stanton and
surrounding vicinity He doesn'
receive Il penny for his work
; and, moreover, he pays more fol
! his Times than probably any one
else in the county. He pays two
l cents every week IN stamps, anC
2 often more, that you might have
