WIFE BEATING COMMON

London, May 20.-Henry Halsalle, author of work on Germany, told an audience at Holburn the other day that "wife beating is quite com mon among the German middle and upper classes and that the law of Prussia sanctions it.
 'I once stayed few days in the house of a Berlin merchant" said the speaker, land one evening heard issuing from a room upstairs a wo- mans cries and the sound of blows. Presently my host appeared and asked him the cause of the commo- tion.
 ".I have just been giving my wife her Saturday thrashing,' he said. He added that he administered the punishment regularly every week and whether she deserved it or not

THE BLIND ALLEY

In some general remarks about the league of nations and other in- teresting public phenomena, Senator Thomas recently found occasion to unburden himself somewhat as fol lows:
 "We know that since the death of MT. Roosevelt many candi- dates for the presidency of the United States have blossomed, and will continue to blossom, on the other side of this chamber; and each of course is blowing his own furrow with his own heifer, in the hope that his plowshare will turn up the particular presidential grub. I hate to say anything that will put dam per on the aspirations of my breth- ren upon the other side, for all of whom l entertain the highest person al opinion; yet I must remind them that never in the history of the nominated and elected to the presi- dency; and from some of the per. formances that have seen in this body since have been here, on both sides, I have long ago ceased to wonder at what once addressed it. self to my mind as most remark able phenomena. So, while we may SOW, there is every probability that others on the outside may reap, ii there should be harvest at all."
 This was unkind of the senator He undoubtedly sent a chill through at least six presidential aspirants He caused them to review theil chances with feelings of alarm anC to seek the consolation of friends who advised them that precedenti are being broken right and left anC that there is no telling what gooC man can do.

In the account OF the distressing
affray following the trial in magis-

STILL FLOG STUDENTS
AT ENGLISH COLLEGES
At Cheltenham Large Number Mar
rowly Escaped the Lash, But Were
Willing to BE Lashed.

London, Aug. 4.-The old custom
of flogging students is still i'm vogue
in British colleges. whose students
are as old as the average American
college man. The custom is most fol-
lowed in the higher class institutions,
so that to have been logged at school
or college is said to be the mark of
an aristocrat.
At Cheltenham college the students
hazed Barnwell. the former tender of
the college baths, because he had de-
serted the baths for higher wages in
an aircraft factory. They bombarded
Barnwell's house with bricks. There
upon, Barnwell's workmates with sew
eral hundred of the populace marched
to the college and told their story to
the principal, Archdeacon Waterfield.
1t was agreed that the students
should pay damages and be flogged by
sthe archdeacon. This was satisfac-
tory to all concerned, including the
students.
Because of the number to undergo
castigation, lots were drawn so that
one out of 10 of the student body
should get the whip. This also was
satisfactory TO the students. But this
sporting spirit so impressed the bath
keepers faction that they proposed
that both sides shake hands and call
it off, which was done with mutual
regrets and compliments.

dollars of good roads bonds. \ few
years ago one would have been con-
sidered crazy to go into RiChlard
county and talk about spending two
million dollars on roads, but times
have changed, and there is little, if
any, doubt that the issue in Richlari
will carry today by large majority.
People have come to realize that gocd
roads are not an expense but one of
the best dividend-paying investments
known. Anderson county recently
voted S1,450,000 and dozen other
counties have voted bonds in lesser
amounts in order that good roads
may be possible. In all, perhaps ten
million dollars of road bonds have
been voted in South Carolina since
the first of the present year. and this
is only beginning.
Distances between points have
been greatly lessened by the use of
the automobile and good roads and
it matters but little to a man driving
a long trip to find a cood road in a
part of one county and bad the rest
of the way. Counties are traversed
nowadays in an hour or so and states
in less than day. This is possible
where there are good roads.
Good roads bonds are paid by tax

of bonds is merely an agreement to
pay so much each year for good

the roads now without first raising a
large amount of money to pay for
them. Take Richland's two million
dollars:
Concrete road, sixteen feet wide,
will cost in the neighborhood of
thirty thousand dollars the mile CThe
