1920 MARRIAGES AND
DIVORCES.

During the year 1920 Clcrl, II. s.
Surface. issued 29S marriage IL
ccnscs, l3 of which were to colorcd
people. about per cent of the num-
bcr.
The colored people did not rush
to the marriage altar in large mum
bc,s last year.
During the year there were al
divorces granted in the courts, or
about 10 each court. This is about
z Id per cent of the marriages, TINT
is, one marriage in every seven, in
the county, taking last year ia n
basis, is sooner or later dissolved by
divorce. On the same basis, one home
established out of every seven, is
broken up. In most cases there are
children in the family. A citizen in
speaking of this divorce business
says: at is serious thing. The
worst of it is. the evil is growing"
He went on, "thc husband is not 10
blame in all cases. Publications in
the papers shows, that in many cases
the woman is the transgressor. What
should be done? The pulpit and the
press should do what they can tn
check the evil. The divorce laws OF
the State are too lax" He stated al
so. that, in his opinion, this divorce
home-wrecking evil was "as great OF
greater, than the liquor traffic"

ENLARCING CONGRESS.

The lower House of Congress did
an astonishing thing the other day
quito contrary to its record of past
years. 1t was on the proposition t.
enlarge the lower House from l3E
to 1S3 members, to conform to tho
new census. The purpose of such ac-
ton would be to avoid cutting down
the delegations of such states as
failed to hold their own relatively in
the race of population.
The objection of that the House is
already too large. A bigger assemb-
ly means more cost, and unsatisfac-
tory conditions for delberative con
sideration Of public business, and
the proposal thus has il flavor of the
pork spirit 1t is handing out facors
to localities and individuals. at the
expense Of the people.
1t is not easy to stand out against
such proposition. Members would
have o take action that might throw
some Of their friends and associates
out of Office. Political considerations
would lead many to favor cnlarging
the House. Some politicians feel that
any safe tina lost part of it's dcleug-
ton would rescn such action, and
visit its wrath upon those respons-
ible.
1t was significant of new spirit.
that this proposition, which 10 or 20
years ago would have gone through
with II whoop, was turned down by
the overwhelming vote of 276 to r.
Congressman are today feeling the
pressure of the people for better bu-
siness methods.
The people care nothing about dis
tributing Offices for political or pers.
onal relations, but they want Con
gross organized on the best bushes.
basis possible. The membera who
voted to enlarge the House no doubt
lid so from honest reasons. But
they failed to grasp the public de
mand, for the reorganization of cv.
cry department of government: IN ,
purely business basis.

HOW TO KNOW WOOD ALCOHOL

A matter of much Importance to
"boozo" fighters is how to know
poison "hooch" from the pure art
icle. Wood alcohol looks pure, smells
all right, and cannot be detected
from its outward appearance from
pure grain alcohol. There are several
tests. Here is one, given in the books
ON the subject:
"Dilutc the alcohol with distilled
water until it contains about 10 per
cent. by volume OF ethyl alcohol.
Transfer five mills Ca mil is Il cubic
ccntimctei) of the dilute alcohol to
a test tube. add to it two mills of n
potassium pcrmangamato solution
(mndc by dissolving 3 gm of potas-
stun pcrmanganatc in 100 nils of
distilled waterl and Oh mil Of sui
phuric acid. and allow the mixture
to stand for five minutes. Now dis
solve the prccipitatc Of manganese
dioxidc by the addition of sulphurous
acid. drop by drop. with agitation,
then add one mil Of sulphurous acid
7. S. and mix them. After standing
for ten minutes, colorless liquid
results"
There is another and simpler test
that any one can apply-takc II swal-
low of the booze. If you do not
double Up and shuttle Off in Il few
minutes then the hootch was not
wood alcohol. This test has always
proved effective. If you arc in doubt
and can try no other test, this last
named is sure.

I3OiSSrvain, Nu.. Feb. | 1921

Boissevain, Va. Feb. |, 1921.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
or all the regiments that compos-
ed the Army of Northern Virginia
none left Il better record than the
18th Virginia Infantry.
One company was from Winchcs-
ter in the Shenandoah Valley. Eight
companies were rccruitcti from Il
group of counties east of the Blue
Ridgt-from Louisa to Culpeper.
Those people were loyal clean. If
YOU lived with them and did not want
to be boycotted and cast out, you
had to be decent.
These companies were organized
long before the Civil War. Every
man was n picked man. In company
d.. to which belonged, among the
privates could be found college and
university men,. doctors, lawyers,
preachers-some who survived made
regulations in various walks of life.
Rev. j. William Jones, the writer
and preacher, WAS n member of my
mess. ! could mention others but
time does not permit. Some of these
companies were called out ut the
time of the John Brown incident
A. +. Hill was our first colonel.
He was n lieutenant in the u. s.
Army; resigned and iame home
when his state seeded. lie was Il
man of fine figure and carriage,
looked every inch a soldier. To me
he was very handsome, distinguish
ed, efficient looking personality. He
met his death OH the day we COM
mcnced the retreat from Petersburg.
Then he was lieutenant general,
commanding one third of Lees army.
When Col. Hill took his regiment
iii hand. it WAS rave material; when
he left ii no finer fighting machine
was ever found on the earth-not
Excepting Caesars favorite tenth lc-
gion that fought ON Gaul. Whene :er
some line had to be straighten ed
some far flung position to lie held at
any cost, some work to be done i'm
possible for human beings to accom-
plish, then the 18th Virg;ill was
badly wanted. In each of two battles
we had half of the regiment killed
and wounded. In twenty-five days
80 men out of ~ were killed or
wounded. And this / know because I
was Top Sergeant During the fight
ing time in 1864 every fighting man
in my company except two. was eth
or killed or wounded. But for ail
this there was some return.
have no idea that any other re
giment in the whole army was 40
praised and pettcd and INDUCED as
this. Some years ago was seated
on the plank walk near tho home of
Major Henry. By my side sat Con.
John B. Gordon. He told me then
what he thought of the 18th Virginia
Infantry. One sentence he spoke got
into my System. He said that. "eyery
man in this regiment was q hero. -
1t sounds little extravaganza. does
it not? But ! heard MANI fiold of.
'iccrs and generals aay about the
same thing.
The very pick Of this .s,e:nent
died in battle or were disabled for
life. On account of this thousands OF
little children that should have been
born never wero because there were
