MISSISSIPPI HAS
HIGH DIVORCE RATE
Three Times Greater Than Average,
Says Chancellor

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 12.-"The di-
vorce rate in Mississippi is three times
greater than the average for United
States and our record for annulling
marriages is exceeded by that of only
two other states in the Union," de-
clarcd Chancellor v. A. Griffith in
convening the Kinds County chancery
court this morning. "May God speed
the day when we will pass law pro-
hibiting divorce, regardless of the
cause" he said
"We need to follow the example of
South Carolina, where there is no di-
vorce law" the chancellor continued,
"and the social order in that state is
better than that of any state in the
nation.
"It is silly 10 say that we must
have divorce laws because of the ne
gro, in South Carolina the percentage
OF negro population is even greater
than ours"
Chancellor Griffith stated that in
his own district he issues 300 divorces
per year per 100000 population.
81 am heartily ashamed of nv own
record" but there seems to be no
help for it while the laws are what
they are"

FEDERAL LAND LOAN
APPRAISER HERE
Federal Agent Pass Favorably
on Number of Loan Applica-
tions From This Vicinity
More Application to
be Passed ON Within
a Short Time.

Mr.. C. ]. Robinson, of Charleston,
Miss, land Appraiser for Fedora,
Land Loans, spent several days in this
vicinity this week.
Mr.. Robinson passed favorably up
on large number Of applications for
farm loans in this vicinity and stated
that within the next two -or three
weeks there would be another large
lot of applications to be passed on.
Mr.. Robinson said that the local
board of land appraisers had been
very conservative in estimating farm
land values in this community-in
fact instead of being too high, the
values had been placed at low figures.
In passing on an application for
loan, Mr.. Robinson personally visits
the farm on which the loan is de-
sired. He asks great many ques-
tions which apparently have notI ing
to do with farm values" still the
very questions he asks are very essen
tial to the government in estimating
the real value of the property from
a productive standpoint. How many
hogs do you raise? How big were
they? How many did you kill for
your own use? How much lard did
you get? How many eggs do you get
daily? How many milch cows have
you? How much butter fat do. you
produce? Are you a patron Of the
creamery? Do you encourage the
building and making good roads7
How many acres in cultivation?
What crops do you raise? etc., etc.
The very purpose of those questions
is to arrive at definite estimation
not only of the land but of the farmer
working the land.
Mr.. Robinson stated that the gov
ernment was encouraging farmersto
to raise more stock, food products,
and less cotton. They also encourage
a more intensified ard diversified sys-
tenn of farming rather than large
acreage along the one crop system.
The government hsb rather loan
farmer money to improve his farm
build better buildings raise better
stock and develop his farm, than loan
money for simple investment in farm
lands.
