There is deniuuu lit ciouih t?arollna
for ull the colleges and universities
iiiut we nuve und it is discouraging
to hear authorities of one of thetu
Knocking another. Recently a con*
vernation wus overheard In a smoker
between to men, one of whom wa*
a member of the faculty of one ol
the smaller colleges. This teacher
seld that the conditions which existed
In a certain other college, a
Slate institul'on, were revolting and
ought not be tolerated, thut swearing,
drinking, gambling and Immorality
were rife.
He went on to say tbw-t In' the
Institution with which he was connected
such a state of affairs did not
exist and would not he tolerated. It
happened thut the man who overhcurd
the conversation hud only a
few days previously visited the college
so highly recommended and had
sren plenty of evidences of just such
things us this professor deplored. It
hud been going on without the
knowledge of the authorities.
The fact Is, and it seems to be
known to everyone except the authorities
who might attempt to make the
corrections, that such conditions an
characteristic of college students.
And there is no particular college
or university to which they are inor?
characteristic than another. They al!
have their share of vice, and the>
* always will have. Thus It Is all tin
more deplorable to hear sanetimo
nlous persons recriminating a partic
ulur Institution. It shows poor judg
Tnent, bad taste, and a weakness
for the mean and petty.
The time is at hand when nl
should work together for the ad
vr.neemont of all the educational In
terests of South Carolina. There an
muaems sumcient to use to the fill
lest capacity all the resources nt th
command of all the colleges, and th'
sooner they shall he put to full tlnn
production, the sooner shall South
Carolnn desert her post nt the ho'
torn of the list literate States,
torn of the list of States In Illiteracy
l>rnlnagc for Highways.
Now that agitution and Federal aid
are fairly generous for the htilldlm
of good roads throughout the State
provision ought to he made for su
pervlsion that will provide propc
drainage, which Is one of the mos!
important things to he considered h
the building of roads. No matter
how excellent the highway, it will
soon wear out unless thought is giver
to the disposition of the water that
falls on its surface. Those who have
been in France or England will re
imomher that wherever there was a
road there was also a thorough sys
tcm of drainage. In the fall just
prior to the beginning of the winter
rains, all drains are opened and all
water finds an outlet that did not
damage the surface of the roads
The only repairs necessary under this
system are the tilling of holes worn
by traffic.
A'll over the United States it is unvual
to see provision made for tin
position of rain water. Roads ar?
ashed Into gullies, or the surface
becomes soft enough to allow vehicle
Passing to cut deep, the outcome he
I"? that the expense of repairs is
n'most as grent as the original cos
e? construction. Hrldges over stream*
c e often pnorlv located because the\
tire usually built at the old cross
lug. Politics rather than engineer
in? authority Is usually the consid
eration when bridges are to lie built
If proper consideration were given
to the location of bridges in the first
M'nininr n'?er would lie damaged
hy flooded streams and the coat of repair*
would he diminished.
If we were asked to suggest the
name of the most thoroughly discredited
public man in the United
States today our answer, would be
Senator James A. Iteed of Missouri. .
Twice elected to the senute as a |
l>cmocrat. Iteed became dissatisfied j
with the conduct of the war by President
Wilson and quickly aligned himft
If with the itepublicuu opposition
to the policies of the president and
the purt.v to which he owed his seat
in the senate. When the pence treaty
wa?> submitted to the senate Iteed
was one of the first senators to an- :
aounce his onnosltion to it. Since
then he has been one of the most
active opponents of ratification of the
pact, frequently indulging in vituperation
and bitterness unworthy any |
man holding his official position, t
At the Democratic State convention
In Mtrsourl < f 'w weeks ago he wn*
n candidate for delegate to the San
Francisco convention, but failed of
c'ectlon. Since the Han Francisco
convention opened Monday he again !
sought membership In that body an
a dlftrlci delegate, for no other ran- I
aon perhaps than to be uhle to op- j
pose the things for which the preai- j

dent stood. The convention refused
to seat him, and he is thereby further
discredited in the eyes of the nation.
His term in the senate expires in
March. 1923. The country will then
hear the last of Senator janies A.
Reed, a man of brilliant parts who
threw away the opportunity to establish
himself in the esteem of the
American people.
New Subscription Rate.
Even in the most favorable circumstances
there is little profit In the
publication of a weekly newspaper in
South Carolina, and especially is this
true if the paper has strong competition
and Is published in a small town:
The Times has both of these conditions
to contend with, besides the
over rising cost of everything that
turo iniu me musing or a newspaper.
For Instance, a few years ago print
paper sold to publishers for three
cents per pound against the present
market price of 15 cents per pound.
Then printers could be employed for
f>om $18 to $20 per week; now they
must be paid from $40 to $45 per
week, else they will not leave the
cities, where most of them seem to
have gone since the close ot the
World war.
All of which is preliminary to the
statement that The Times finds it necessary
to increase its subscription rate
on August 15 from $1.25 to $1.75
uer year. It is out of the question to
expect the subscription price of newspapers
to remain what It was ten
vears ago with everything else selling
at advanced prices. Between
now and August 15 The Times will
be pleased to add to Its mailing list
the names of those who care to take
advantage of the old rate for nnother
voar. but after that date no subscription
will be accepted at less than
thf. yearly rate of $1.75, cash In
advance.
