Credentials Demanded.?Some years ago the late Squire Abingdon Balrd, Bart, came to this country as financial backer of Charlie Mitchell, English heavyweight, who was matched with Jim Corbett, then world champion. Baird was wealthy and a good scout, although at times inclined to be a bit brusque. Just about that time it was quite the thing for successful pugilists to attempt to elevate the stage, the theatrical business being cluttered up with chaps who hitherto performed exclusively in the squared circle. One night during his stay in New York, the Squire and some friends were taking some slight refreshments at the Hoffman House bar when a popular young matinee idol drifted in. He was introduced to the party and joined the gToup. Presently during a lull in the conversation, Baird 'eaned over his shoulder and whispered: "Beg pahdon, old chap, but wot did the chappie say your line was?" 1 "I am a member of the theatrical profession," was the reply. "Aw," ejaculated the sporty baronet, looking over the other's slim physique, 'I say, old chap, pahdon me, but who in 'ell did you ever lick?" Two Dark Sides.?"Cyrus Rasp ran a grocery store down on the corner for about twenty-six ye^rs," related old Riley Rezzidew or fetunia, "ana as ne done so utilized about half of his time in denouncing the public for a lot of thieving hypocrites, who prayed loudly with one hand on the Sabbath and beat him out of his Just dues with the other on week days, flggeratively speaking, of course. Said he ort to know, if anybody did, that 65 per cent of all humanity was intentionally dishonest. > "Well, then a feller came along and gave him about twice what it was worth for his store. And ever since he has been declaring that 90 per cent of the retailers are and always have been thieves and robbers, and mentioning that he ort to know if anybody does. And as far as I can make out, he's pretty nearly right on both prop ositions."?Kansas City Star.

There was silence in the ranks for a moment' and theh a voice drawled: "Say, Cap'n, wotinell do they want us to do to these here duds?salute 'em?" Knows His Capacity.?A Scotsman had bgen invited to a dinner party and late in the evening was discovered by the hostess in a room all by himself turn luumug wie piuiuie ui misery. On being asked what troubled him, i he turned to the hostess and remarked solemnly, "Do ye realize wumman, that I've lost 30 shillings at cards wi' some o' yer veesitors?" "Indeed, I am sorry to hear that, Mr. McGregor, but the loss is not deadly. Come into the buffet and have a drink. And we have some fine cold ham there." "Na, na," said McGregor, despairingly. "J canna eat 30 shilUn's worth o' cauld ham!" Carry On.?When Private Hanrahan went into the army he picked the ammunition train as a man's job of the sort he had been accustomed to on his road construction gang. His ideas changed slightly when the sergeant ordered him and the rest of a squad of rookies to toss big shells into an auto truck to be taken to the front Hanrahan walked around the shells, regarding them intently, but evincing no inclination to mannunuie tnem. The sergeant, noticing his hesitancy, bellowed: "Wottsamatter? Scared of 'em?" "Scared of them nothln'," retored Hanrahan contemptuously, "but sarge, I enlisted for the duration ofr the war and I want to stick around until she's throOgh duratin'.

One afternoon the parsan observed a woman whom he much disliked coming up hi3 fr nt steps. Taking refuge in hts libraiy on the second floor, he left his wife to entertain the visitor. About half on hour later he came out, listened carefully on the landing, and hearing nothing in the living room below, called to his wife: "Harriet, has that old bore gone?" The disliked person was still in the living room but the minister's wife proved quite equal to the occasion, for she called back. "Yes, dear, she went long ago. Mrs. Smith is here now." Hepentod at Lei'ure.?"Forget your yoang man, my child," said an irate mother to her daughter. "An idiotic marriage! You've been as if struck by lightning, you say? Bah!

Timber to be used in each bridge is being treated with a creosote preparation by a Charlotte lumber concern which has the contract to furnish the timber, according to Mr. Brown. , Shealy Released. Jim Shealy, negro who shot his wife and daughter at their home on the Mrs. W. H. Carroll place on York No. 4, ten days ago, after he had failed to shoot a hawk, has been released from jail by order of Magistrate Crawford of Bethesd^ township. Shealy claimed that he was "jest funning" and that he did not know that the shotgun he aimed at his better-half was readj for action. The iniured persons are now considered out of danger and it is quite possible that Shealy will not have to answer in court for his folly. Bethany School Opens. Bethany school entered upon the work of the 1922-23 session yesterday morning with an initial enrollment of about 90 which it was stated would be considerably increased within a few weeks.

Pelzer, 39 Broad street, Charleston, and Henry W. Frost, 53 South Bay Street, Charleston, were withdrawn yesterday by the internal revenue department, according to information reaching Columbia from Charleston, where discharges were filed in the Eastern district of the United States court in favor of the above men. Mr. Frost's name was not connected, with the first information given out in regard to the liens issued on the property of five men, but yesterday it was learned that a lien was issued against him for $40,720.75, of which $27,147.16 was for taxes due and $13,573.59 in penalties. This lien was promptly paid by Mr. Frost and yesterday he was given a discharge by the revenue department. With the addition of the amount against Mr. Frost the total amount of liens reached $512,993.86 against six South Carolinians.. Heading the list was the lien against Campbell Courtnay of Columbia for $194,928.56; second was St. John Courtnay of Columbia for ^184,134.38; third was Ashmead Courtnay of Charleston for $51,373.83; fourth was Henry W. Frost of Charleston for $40,720.75; fifth was Henry Rut- 1 ledge of Charleston, for $21,780.58 and sixth was Francis J. Pelzer of Char leston for $20,030.56. The liens were | taken in all cased for income- taxes alledged to be due and not paid. Both Mr. Frost and Mr. I'el/.er were relieved of the liens against them when the discharges-were filed wi'h the court and it is believed that some of the others will pay the amounts assessed against them within a day or two, possibly today. The taxes dated back as far as 1917 in one case and as far as 1918 in several cases, it was alleged. , m i ?

Co-eds of the University of Wisconsin are up in arms because a new city ordinance classifies the junior promenade and the military ball, the most important social events of the scholastic years, as public dances, while a ruling by tljo dean of women prohibits co-eds from attending public dances under penalty of expulsion. Another point at issue is the closing of all student dances at mid night instead of 1 o'clock. Professors have complained that students have come to Saturday morning classes bleary-eyed,,, tired, yawning and lacking in knowledge?all because they attended a 1 o'clock party on Friday night. 4 \ ? ?

Hale Thompson made a speech last Sunday at the celebration of "Der Deutschen Tag," on the municipal pier by Germans in Chicago, says a special dispatch to the New York Times, In which he denounced America's entrance into the World war and defended his attitude in the matter. He was cheered frequently. He said that both he and his audience realized the "mistake" that America had made in entering the World war. "I fought against it with all my ability and I have not changed my views one atom," he said. "I stand for the words of Cleorge Washington, that it is in the best interests of the. country that we should avoid any foreign entanglements) and should concern ourselves only with our own domestic affairs. America for the Americans is my view, let the others do what they like." ? Leaving America to take up his residence in England because, he said, there is no intelligent companionship among the idle rich of this country, George F. Brown of Stonebridge, one of the show places of Dedham, sailed last Sunday on the White Star Line steamship Pittsburgh, says a special dispatch from Boston to the New York World. "I am giving up America for I England because I crave the intelligence of the English people. In America T find intelligence in the middle class that accomplishes the great play J in making both ends meet. The rich I class misses this pleasure. The mid die class Is the backbone of the country, the men that won the war, who make their wages with their minds. They go home sober, due to prohibition, which escapes the upper rich class, who get their supply of liquors from the bootleggers and nobody cares. I am going to England to join the leisure class that has Intelligence which I could have enjoyed in America had I the luck to be born in the | middle class."

In this connection we wish to emphasize the fact that there is hardly any section of Gaston county now without the reach of electric power and lights. The rapid spread of the Southern Power company's lines has made it possible for most of the thickly populated comunities to tie up to the power lines.

Those farmers who have used these plants testify that they don't know how they could ever have gotten along without them.? Gautonia Gazette. ? The world's record for airplane speed was shattered by no less than seven flyers in the Pulitzer cup coneat at Mt. Clemmens, Mich., last Saturday. Lieutenant Maughan won by traveling over a 160 mile course at the rate of 20G miles an hour. The previous world's record in a similar race was that of Kirsch when he made a record of 178.7 miles an hour in France during last September. Lieut. I* J. Maitland, who ran second to Maughan, made a part of his flight at tho rate of 216 miles an hour, which is faster than any one has ever before flown 4n a race. Lieutenant H. J. Brow, also participating in this con'test, made the 160 miles at the rate | of 193.2 miles an hour. When he brought his ship to earth, Lieutenant Maughan was so exhausted that he was compelled to lean against his ship for several minutes before he revived. He explained that he was lost four times in the haze, and was more or less stunned at each of sixteen turns, coming1 to again In the straight-aways. His feet went to sleep In the flight because of the speed that tended to stop circulation. The terrific speed told on Lieutenant Maitland. After the lap in which he made 216.1 miles an hour, his air pressure, feeding gasoline to his motor broke down and he was forced to use an emergency hand pump. Throughout the last four laps, with his plane hurling through i the air at a speed in excess of 200 miles an hour, Maitland was obliged to pump away, first with one hand and then with the other. When he finished behind Maughan he was so exhausted that it was necessary to take him to his quarters before he could be revived. ?
