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

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

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. A big steamer captair
doesn't easily get rid of his secono
nature, even in a U-boat!
