Toledo, Feb. 10. Christiana Lans ker has asked the courts for a divorce from Bernard Lansker, merely upon the ground of abandonment, whereas she might truthfully have mentioned in her complaint that he had given to her almost 800 brutal beatings one for every week in fifteen years. Chris tiana did not even mention the beat ings in the pleading filed to-day, and when asked about her apparent inad vertance, said that she did not know how such little matters could be put into a divorce case. j Christiana accepted the cruelties of' her husband in a spirit of meek sub-i in order that the lord of creation; might enjoy the pleasure proceeding from his brutal acts.

Colonel Lusk raised the point that a woman cannot hold office in North Carolina, according to the State con stitution, that it is provided that the register of deeds or his deputy shall act as clerk to the county board of commissioners, and, that the fact that a woman, is deputy regrster of deeds in Buncombe, and served in the capac ity f Hprk to the counxy uuaiu ui into lots.

There was a fine audience at Smith Memorial building last night to hear the re nowned lecturer and school special ist, Hon. Preston'' Search, of Califor nia. He spoke under the auspices of the city graded schools to the grad uating class of the high school, his subject being "Face to Face With Great Ideals." The city superinten wents, now in se'sion here, attended in a body. This, afternoon the associa tion met at the State Normal and In dustrial College and after hearing ele vating addresses from City Superin tendent Crowelr oil, High Point, on thef teaching of music in the public schools and from Sueperintendent of Public Instruction J. Y. , Joyner on the best system of teaching in the high schools, Dr. Search made another admirable talk on graduation work. j The building committee of the First Baptist church has authorized S. W.

The plans and specifications will be submitted to the bon tractors very soon in order that a bid may be accepted and the work commenced at the ear liest date possible so that the edifice will be ready for the Baptist State convention which meets here next 1 fall. ' John Tarrell, aged 14, who moved here with his parents from Brown j Summitt a few months ago, was plac- ed in jail here last night, charged with forging the names of J. Lindsay Hopkins and W. L .Moore on three checks, for $18, $23, and $17 respec tively, which he had received the cash for. He had a good position in the cloak room of the Benbow Hotel When arrested the boy at first gave several different names as his own. He was recognized on the street by one of the merchants who had cashed one of the checks for him, and it was not until he was further recognized as the hotel boy that he confessed fiis true name and admitted the forgeries. There are many striking examples of the value of good roads. Wherever roads have been permanently impro ved it is found that there has been a very. great increase in value of the ad jacent property. Among examples of this sort is that of Jackson, Tenn. From figures recently published it is shown that since 1900 the city has in creased 5,000 in population. The roads were improved through issuing bonds, to start with, and they have advertis ed the city so much that families are constantly coming in from adjoining counties, with the result that land values have increased in some cases from 20 to 100 per cent. Property in the city has also greatly increased in value. There, is an aethetia side to the good roads movement that is of no little im portance. What is drearier, what more depressing than to drive along a coun try road deep with mud and furrowed by ruts, the water standing in pools in the road and where ditches ought to be? Good roads will lead to the gen eral improvement of the countryside. The farmer who drives to and from town over a spacious, smooth, well-cared-for road will unconsciously cpme to effect coresponding improvements in the management and operation of the farm.
