this very thing Will flood the stare
with liquor if the prohibition bill were
passed. He argued also that the
bill is unconstitutional in that it is
practically prohibitory. Also that the
bill would deprive the counties now
having whiskey Of certain profits, as
whiskey houses would combine and
pay the licenses for the various coun-
ties, and then they could charge each
county higher prices by this combina-
ton by dividing the sale Of the whis-
key among the wet counties.
Senator Otis claimed that the bill
is according to the findings of the
United States supreme court and is
constitutional. It gives, he said, no
one man more right than another to
sell. Senator Kelley asked Mr.. Otis
if he would agree to a $4,000 license,
this question being to show that if
prohibition was wanted the license
should be so made. Senator Otis
stated that in such case the bill
would not be constitutional, and
would, therefore, be null and void.
Senator Otis Speaks.
Senator Otis widened out bit up
on the prohibition question, which
this bill naturally touched somewhat,
or had been made to touch, by the dis
cussion thereon.
A motion to adjourn debate having
failed, Senator Clifton, having lost
possession of the right to further dis
cuss the bill, moved to indefinitely
postpone, and this gave him the right
to speak further on this new pending
motion.
Senator Clifton characterized Mr..
Otis, the prohibition leader, as one
who had changed first from State dis
pensary to local option, or "spotted
dispensaryite," to prohibition. Sena-
tor Clifton's remarks, while in light
vein, at times carried some touch of
sarcasm with them. He was follow
ed, at least during the first half-hour
of his speech, with the closest atten-
tion on the part Of the senator's and
those in the galleries and on the floor
Of the senate. He argued that it would
be inconsistent to stand for prohlbi-
ton and then to vote to license the
sale of whiskey, as the bill under dis
cussion proposed to do.
Senator OTIS stated that there was
some intimation Of filibustering, but
that "we will sit here as long as they
can talk. T will be willing to stay
here the balance Of the evening to
hear the senator from Sumter
Senator Clifton proceeded to speak
upon the bill, pointing out that the
bill prohibits what it purports to IL
cense.
Senator Clifton reviewed some OF
his former remarks on the prohibition
question, and also touched upon other
phases of the bill under discussion. 1t
need not be stated here that the SEN
ator from Sumter is opposed to the
prohibition measures because his re-
marks on the floor Of the senate tell
this in plain words.
Mr.. Clifton's speech was very much
enjoyed by some Of the senators. He
is a good speaker and his remarks
TEEN with wit throughout. But he
will have his say on questions in the
senate, and today's proceedings were
somewhat of a victory for him, be-
cause when the senate meets Monday
he will still have the floor and will
speak upon this question.

A countryman was enjoying his
first visit to London. He strolled
about the streets and gazed with
wonder and admiration at the shop
windows.
Soon he came to a lawyers office,
where, of course, there was nothing
for sale. This surprised him, so he
opened the door and walked in. In
the room sat two clerks hard at
work writing.
"What 90 you sell here?" asked
the countryman.
One of the clerks, thinking to get
some fun out of the visitor, replied,
"Fools."
"You must have had a quick sale,
then, to have only two left" retort-

FAMOUS FL0GGERS.
Head Masters Of Eton Who Loved ~

Flogging is to a great extent a

Hawtrey, for instance, who was
head master about 1926, was not
one who believed in sparing the rod.
He once logged Gladstone under
the following somewhat peculiar
circumstances:
Gladstone was prepositor one day,
and it was accordingly his duty to
put down the names of those to be
logged. Three boys, however, came
to him with a story that their
friends we're coming down to see
them that day and if they were
down on the fogging list they would
be unable to meet them. Gladstone
omitted the names, with the result
that the head master noticed the
absence of the three boys and fog.

them down.
On another occasion Dr. Hawtrey
called out to the prepositor, "Put
down Hamilton's name to be fog
ged for bre;. ling my window"
II did not break your window
sir" exclaimed Hamilton.
'Prepositor," said Hawtrey, "put
down Hamilton's name for breaking
my window and lying"
"Upon my soul, sir" said the boy
Indignantly, ri did not do it."
"Prepositor," roared Hawtrey
"put down Hamilton's name fol
