THURSDAY, DBCE2MBEIR 14, 1922.
To be sure the University of South
Carolina will ask the Legislature to
appropriate a quarter of a million
dollars for a woman's building at
that Institution. Fortunately, South
Carolina has been overlooked by the
boll weevil, there are no hard times
abroad in the State, the chief end of
the average citizen is to provide tax
money for just any old purpose that
may be suggested, so why not? &ut
, even in the face of all this some people
think that one State supported
woman's college is about all South
Carolina needs or can afford.
Ib capital punishment a deterrent
to crime? Many people do not agree
that it is,, and among the number is
Justice. C. C. Lyon of the supreme
vuuri ol inorui carouna, who says He
believes "capital punishment * has
failed ?of its purpose and is not humane."
Whatever the opinion of the
individual, there can be no denying,
the fact that many murderers and
others who have committed crimes
which warrant the infliction of the
death penalty escape with their lives
becauso of the widespread opposition
to capital punishment among the
men who sit on the country's juries.
Let a good roads proposition of
magnitude bob up and the first man
to be on hand to plead the necessity
of a bond issue for the purpose is the
cement dealer. These birds are always
early risers when there is talk
' t of road building at public expense.
Why? Because they are patriotic
and court the opportunity to offer to
donate the cement if the people will
only provide the funds necessary to
do the other part of the work.
Since there are a good many people
in South Carolina who refuse to
exert themselves by doing any thinking
on their own account, but who
always look to the Columbia State to
do their thinking for them, it seem:;
a part of the duty of The Times to
Bay to that paper that it is putting
* those, people to serious inconvenience
by withholding its opinion of the
proposod 100 million dollar , road bond
proposit.on. These folk need to_
to be told by Tho State at once
what is best for them, whether it
uutes real money to build public roads
or whether they can be built on hoi
air a a one of the loud talkers at tlie
meeting In Columbia last Monday
seemed to think.
A row - between a football coach
and members of the Ku Klux Klan in
Alabama over the former's church affiliation
is a very serious mattef in
South Carolina and the wonder is thai,
so many newspapers in this State
have failed to publish such thoughtful"
editorials on the subject as The
Times is now publishing.
Being docile, tractable and of an
even-tempered disposition, one of the
things the Fort Mill Times does not
intend to do is to knowingly break
rules of conduct set up for it by any
newspaper published in this section.
So The Times rises to require
the nature of the news items it will be
expected to delete from its columns
to keop in the good graces of one or
two newspapers whicfc apparently
know more about how it should be
run than the editor of this paper
himself knows.
While there is discussion in this
country, in some parts of It at least,
whether prohibition prohibits. pnbHc
sentiment for laws' against the
^-manufacture and sale of Intoxicants
Is growing In- other countries. In
JBngland the liquor Interests hare recently
raised an enormous sum and
hare started a campaign to offset the
work, of the prohibitionists. In France
the wine makers hare combined and
formed an organisation with large financial
backing to fight prohibition
sentiment at home and abroad. They

. Few Wild Animals M Market.
The wild animal Market la enjoyIni
a boom at present, -owing to the
tact that daring the World war the
wild animal supply wda shut off, although
the nocpul'demand continued.
The breeding of wild animals in
captivity is limited, while the death
rate la comparatively high. The soolcgical
gardens, circuses and wild
afcimal exhibitions of all kinds have
suffered a steady tailing off in their
stock, with no means of renewing It.
A large supply of every variety of
animal used for exhibition purposes
must be collected and distributed to
jring the supply up to normal. Every
section oc tne gloue, rrom the Arctic
circle and beyond to the equator, id
searched tor wild animals to m^et
this demand.
Wild animals are one ot the tew
commodities which did not increase
is price as a result ot the war. The
present quotations tor the stock ot a
menagerie' compare favorably with
pre-war prices. A lion or tiger, fully
grown, can be bought at prices
ranging trom $700 to $5,000. *A giraffe,
however, brings from $9,000 to
$14,000.*
Terrors ef Deep Sea'Diving.
A noted deep sea diver, in describing
some of the perils of his occupation,
says' that sharks, one of the
greatest menaces, are afraid of air
bubbles, and that when a diver sees
a shark he nips the valve of the tube
through which he receives air from
the surface and then lets it go again.
This makes groat air bubbles in the
water and usually the shark swim3
for its life when it sees them.
Another peril of deep sea diving is
a disease which is caused by the diver
being hauled to the surface too
quicky. The pressure of the water
when he is in the sea is relieved by
compressed air in his diving suit.
When he is brought to the top suddenly
the air in the suit rushes into
bis veins and he becomes like a sodawater
bottle which bubbles up suddenly
when it is opened. The diver's
veins fill with air bubbles and if
these reach the heart he is a doomed
man. The only remedy is to pop
him back again into the water and
lower him to the same depth from
which he was brought up. This draws
the air out of bis veins and he is
cured by the time he reaches the surface
again. If he is not put back in
me water ne will die in three mniutes.
The Tear's Cotton Crop.
Cotton production in the United
States for the season of 1922-23 will
amount to 9,964,000 bales of 600
pounds each, according to the last
report Issued for the season by the
United States department of agriculture
a day or twp ago. With the exception
of last year's crop, which was j
7,953,641 bales, this year's produc- ,
lion-will be smaller than any year
since 1903.

with the"Extaaslon Department ot
Winthrop College to establish tody
