ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 24.-Wil-
liam G. Russell of 1917 5 street
northeast, Washington, died In Alex
andria Hospital Sunday morning from
injuries received in an automobile &C
cident near Four-Mile Run, accord
ing to a coroner's jury at Wheatly's
undertaking establishment, here, held
last night. All the occupants of the
car were under the influence OF
liquor" the jury added. DR.. L. M.
Jones, coroner, presided
1t was brought out from testimony
that at the time of the accident, the
car was being driven by Russell, and
not by John Caldwell, 1882 Bladens-
burgh road, Washington.
Caldwell testified that they had
been to a dance at Shady Oak, Md,
and he drove the car from that point
to Del Ray, Arlington County. There,
Caldwell said, Russell insisted on
driving, and he took a back seat with
Mrs. Sweeney, 1888 Eleventh street,
Washington. Mrs. Sweeney told of the
dance and said all had been drink
ing.
Tells of Drinking.
James Green, $40 A street south
east, Washington, who testified he
Russell was driving, and corroborated
the story of the drinking.
According to Walter V. Wright,
special officer of Arlington County, he
and John Kelly, special officer of
Potomac, were attracted by the car
zigzagging. The officers arrived a
few minutes after the accident.
Testimony of John Kelly was that
he and Wright were in another car,
and the car that was wrecked headed
straight at them, forcing them to the
side of the road.
A. F. Driscoll, town sergeant of
Potomac, said that 20 minutes after
the crash he examined the wrecked
machine and found two empty TASKS
which had the odor of liquor.
Questioned by one of the jurors,
Caldwell declared that he might have
made the statement attributed to him
that he was driving the car at the
time of the crash, adding that he was
dazed then.

The papers throughout Michigan
have published many amusing incl
dents in connection with the cred
ulous who felt the world might end
last Friday as redicted by some sin
cere person, whose energies have
been just a little misdirected or
rather misplaced, but the prize story
in my judgment, appeared in the De-
troit Sunday News, where a farmer
had bought a ticket from two
smooth talking statesmen, emitting
him to a seat in the observatory to
watch the World close out it's exis-
tence or career He showed up at the
appointed place, which proved to be
an ordinary dwelling house, present.

and finding the owners of the house
were not in on this big event, ap-
pealed to the police, where it de-

the purpose for which he purchased
the ticket, struck me funny. Now Il

Mothers in a great majority, be-
lieve, who have kept a switch, or
small whip at convenient place in
the home, have found that her in
fluence with the children was not
diminished nor her loving rule of
the family was less effective. These
mothers have seldom and many,
never have had to apply the switch;
yet its presence was effective in a
direction where it was helpful.
The bible is the oldest history we
have and it should be read and
taught, in all schools ofNearning in
the world. By knowing the bible, we
would have the right verse to apply
when we have need to admonish
others of the law.

WHIPPING POST USED
Communications


Harrington, February 6, 1925
Editor Chronicle:
I see that the old effort to abolish
the whipping post as a punishment
for criminals for certain crimes IN
Delaware, has been started in the
present session of the legislature.
AS a law abiding citizen I am op-
posed to it's abOlishment. The whip
ping post is doing much good and is
a protection, even as it stands in the
yards about the county jails. hope
that it will never have to be used,
but when the occasion arises, then
the criminal must take punishment
at the whipping post as a part of the
punishment.
Even should there never again
arise cause for it's use, think that
the whipping post should be kept
in evidence, as a deterrent and re-
minder as to what it was establish
ed for. 1t is harmless to the law OBJ
servers and inexpensive to main
tain; so let it stand, ready for use,
should the use be necessary.
In a sense, it is better than a
policeman with loaded gun. It would
be a sign post for a scriptural in
scription of verses to remind those
who have forgotten, or overlooked
what the Bible teaches, as to who
should receive corporal punishment
and the ways of doing it. This is re-
ferred to in Proverbs, 1858. Psalms
23-4. Micah, 60. Proverbs 1924
says: che that spareth his rod hat
eth his son; but he that loVeth him
3hastiseth him betimes."
Rather than abolish the whipping
post would suggest, that in every
state where there is a Jail, that there
S a Jail, that there shall be a whip
)ing post in the Jail yard, as a warn
ng of what it stands for.
1t is no disgrace to Delaware to
lave the whipping post, and it has
lelped to restrain wrong doers IN
many known instances.
