ID WHIP 0R NOT
 ID WHIP IS ISSUE Atlanta School Heads Pug zled Over Question Which
 Breaks Out Afresh

Atlanta, October 2.-(Specialo-To whip public schools of Atlanta.
 The controversy has been brought ac- lively to the forefront in the past few days. and it is likely to be warm issue in the race for council, which is just now warming up for the city primary
 few days ago Donald Oberdorfer, the son of Eugene Oberdorfer one of Allan tas most prominent citizens, wrote a let ter to the superintendent of the board of education, in which he complained of a whipping given his son by Miss Ellie Dunlap, principal of the Tenth street school. Three days after the whipping the boy still had welts on his body.
 It wasn't so much, however, the whip ping Of his son that he objected to as the principle of the thing. He didn't believe that it was best for the system or for the child, to have whippings in schools.
 And this was the beginning of the cor poral punishment issue.
 The education board is sadly split on the matter. The superintendent is non- committa, because he fears that what ever he might say might also be taken as a reflection upon the teacher who cid the whipping.
 This whipping is coupled in the public mind with another one of some weeks ago, when a mother used a whip on a teacher who had licked her boy. The teacher was suspended for about 20 days for unduly punishing the lad.
 President Eugene M Mitchell of the ed- ucation board, says tht he is heartily in favor of putting the switch on the sheli for good. He declares that he has al ways been opposed to the rod but that public sentiment was against him. ana that for that reason he had been unable to act.
 His associates are far from unanimoas on this point. however. and it looks ike there will be warm scrap when the mat ter comes up for decision.
 There are several members or the board who say spare the rod and spoil the child" and they insist that provided the punishment is carefully and judiciously administered, that it is a good thing far better than any other system that co,,ld be evolved. They say that the de- merit system or expulsion wouldn't worry the child at all and that the first thing that would happen would be lot of chil- dren out of school,
 Alderman Van Dyke has introduced a resolution in council abolishing corporal punishment It will in all probability be referred first to the education board for action there.

Columbia, Oct. 21.-Reductions in

Railroad Commission. The changes
consist mostly in creating Of another
class Of shipments, making five class
es In all, besides some reductions in
particular rates. The Commission
says the changes will effect a reduc-
tion Of about fifteen per cent.
Instead of only three breaks" for
the first hundred miles, the Com

from one hundred miles to two hun
dred miles there are four more
breaks, making a total of nine breaks
up to 200 miles instead OF six as at
present. This allows a more minute
division Of hauls, enabling the ship
pers to pay more exactly in accord
