COEDS FAVOR MATRIMONY. ! Majority of College Women Wed, Rut They Show Caution. More college women marry than do others, although they are more deliberate about it, is the conclusion of A. L. Price, a university statistician, who has just finished cataloguing graduate of the University of Calit. According to Price's statistics, compiled from the vital statistics of 10,24 9 alumni, 58 per cent, of all women over 15 years old are married. Women graduates of the university beat that average by six-tenths of 1 per cent. Price sees a tendency for college women to wed men out of the university. Three times as many women "* ...U ^ A ^ graduates have married men wuu uu not hold degrees as have married university graduates. The occupations of women graduates show that teaching is the only activity that can compete with matrimony. One out of every two women graduates is destined for matrimony v and one out of every three for pedagogy.?Berkeley correspondence of San Francisco Bulletin. A ! Report and a Rei>orter. When the political opinions or expressions of a man of prominence are misrepresented he usually enters a denial promptly. When days and weeks pass and there is no denial the people have a right to assume that the speaker adopts the report and approves of it. That is the rule that everywhere prevails. Ex-Gov. Blease's address to the students of Allen university was delivered October 4, and printed in the State October 5. The Charleston News and Courier printed a less extended report of it October 5. Between October 5 and October 24, when Mr. Blease delivered his speech disputing its accuracy, 19 days passed. vAt least one of the newspapers that support Mr. Blease in politics reproduced the State's report of the speech in full, without de-s nial and without comment, about \ two weeks ago. Meantime, the pertinent question is: Why did ex-Gov. Blease deliver a speech to the students and faculty of a negro college a few weeks following the Democratic primary and discuss political questions? Why did a defeated candidate for governor in the white man's primary charge before an audience of negroes that he had been cheated out of election? Was that the place and that the court in which to indict the white man's primary? In which to discuss Mr. Blease's record in the MoiseMurray contest ? Could not ex-Gov. Blease have spoken to these negroes without touching the subject of politics, if he had so wished? Is it customary for public men, invited to address students, white 01 black, to discuss politics, especially their Own political wrongs and records??The State. The State Defends Reporter. The man who reported Mr. Blease's speech at Allen university is John Irby Koon, formerly of Prosperity, Newberry county. Ask the members of the faculty of Newberry college whether he is a trutnrui man crr-noi. There is no man in the Bleaseite ranks who is more representative of the people than Irby Koon. He worked his way through college and he has battled against as many difficulties as any young man in South Carolina. He is not compelled to work for the State. He is not bribed to work for.the State, and is not paid a high salary. He has had offers to work for other newspapers; he can earn a livelihood anywhere where newspapers are printed. The State company could not. if it wished, bribe, cajole, threaten or scare Irby .Koon into writing an untruth. He I is just an honest workingman, earning his livelihood in an honest way. Ordinarily the personality of a reporter is of no consequence and is seldom mentioned. The State asks the honest Bleaseite people, those who have sons they would like to see make their way in the world, what they think of the attack that was made in the truthfulness of Irby Koon's report of the speech two weeks and a half after it had been published and not denied even in Blease newspapers?that could have been denied the morning after its publication in many newspapers?in the Charleston American, for example Cut off a musician's fingers and you destroy him. Blast a reporter's reputation for veracity and accuracy and you destroy him. The State has faith to trust the protection of J. I. Koon's reputation, against his traducers, to a jury of 40,000 Bleaseites in South Carolina. It is entirely willing that the Bleaseites of Newberry who know him judge whether he would lie at the request of the State or any man or newspaper.?The State. Did This Negro Editor Lie? Allen university opened last Wed nesday with about 400 students. Dr. R. W. Mance, the new president, seemed to know his business, as though he were there a whole term. We. as trustees, were hospitably entertained with what the appetite ould bear. Bishop \V. D. Cliappelie. the new bishop, knows his business, and performs his duty like a hero. He is his own dictator. Ex-Governor Blease was present, and was introduced to speak by the bishop, who prefaced as follows: ".Mr. President, and board of trustees: I feel that we are complimented to have one of the strongest white men in South Carolina, in the person of ex-Governor Cole L. Blease, to speak to this people. In asking the protection for our people, i watched carefully the record of all of the governors, and decided on exGovernor Blease. We want the friendship of our white people. 1 want money. I am going to ask him for it to help lift up our people. I don't believe that Col. Blease will insult my wife, or no other colored lady, any more than he would like for any one to insult his wife, or any of their white ladies." The bishop now introduced Colonel Blease, who rose and said in part: "Mr. President and members of the faculty and my friends: I want to congratulate you for having such an able Christian gentleman as your president, if his face is black, I have never known anything but good in your president. I have known him from his boyhood, and always thought he would make a great man. I would trust my daughter in his hands as well as you are trusting yours. They said that I am against the negro. Nay, I am a friend to the negro. You are robbed out of your rights by .the unjust laws of this State. How will the judges and jurors stand before God who will take advantage of a powerless race? What kind of a law has this State that will not allow a negro representation on the jury, or prohibit him of his rights in any way? If this State would give you all of the moneys from the tax paid by your people, you would have better schools and longer terms. .1 am not against educating the negro, but only wanted the taxes of each race set aside for its intermediate purpose. Yes, this State is rotten. They're robbing you out of your rights, but there's a God above that will bring them into judgment. I have never insulted a colored woman. The man that would insult a woman is worse than the darkest cloud that ever held over the firmament. Girls and boys, your character is what God gave you, and can never be taken away. But your reputation is what you make it, and what the world says t-i-vi, Tf inctino was e'ivpn me. 1 \J L J UU* xi J u^wivv O* * ? ? r would have been your governor today. But it is white people that is stealing from (Line dropped out) some years ago, and political thieves, j but the negro is now out of it, and who is it now doing the stealing? 1 am a Methodist, and will never leave my church, but I do not attend because thieves and robbers are at the communion table, and I am not going to associate with them. What is the use for jails, penitentiaries, chaingangs and the church too? If all ol the leaders of the people were righteous, there would not be any use for prisons, for the leaders of the people have caused them to err."?Samaritan Herald (Negro). A condor can exist without food for 40 days, and an eagle 20 days. DESCRIBES TRIP OF SUBMARINE. (Contnued from page 2, column 2) merge against a high sea, it is conceivable that in the haste which was forced upon us by the destroyer, the tanks were not completely emptied ol air. But above all there was the aggravating factor of the sudden dynamic effect of the depth rudder, which, together witA the oppressing force of an extraordinarily heavy sea too quickly forced the fateful decline upon the boat. Like Balloon. Ours was the position of a dirigible balloon which shortly before landing takes too steep a downward course, and subsequently is smashed to earth and crushed with redoubled force by a sudden "fall breeze." In our case the wonderful material of our steel "pressure body" withstood the tremendous blow withoul further harm. Only the bottom of the North Sea degree X, northern latitude, and degree Y, eastern longtitude, may have sustained small damage. Another thing in the whole incident seems to be worthy of mention when I now look back upon it anc recall just what were my thoughts when we dashed full speed at 36-degree decline into the depths of the North Sea, I must say my firsl thought was the cargo, "is the cargo safely stored? Can it lose its equil ibrium?" Curious as it might sound in re trospect, that is what I instinctively thought of.
