C., DEC. 8, 1920 The Advertiser is aware that a few girls from out of Columbia have sought admission to the University of South Carolina and have not been able to realize their ambition because of financial reasons. The same may be said of every college in the state. We nll know also that thousands aspire to a college education and are not able to procure it. There are many thousands more who aspire in vain for even a high school educntion. The logic of the situation would be to give all the boys and girls an eqIual chance in life, but as yet this hast not been found practical. leing T'ractical rath er than logical We have taken and continue to take the means of the 'poor and rich alike to make possible a higher education fo: the rich, poor al(f tih heing utsed as general terms for conei ience. There coimp's a tite. however, wlen we can well fford a restriction of the educational pro gram. \h1len the re: I Iroducrs :of the wealth of the state arc facing a ve ry hard year ahead, it is right to take their condition into (Oil: deration anal reditee all buit eessntiatl expe'nditure.: l:eginn ing to prune firct on projects Which are not of imlediat e (r are of (ioubtful necessity. .\mnuong these We wou 141 include a (orm1it(ry for girls at the UIliversity as wvell as other ox tensions this year of the program for higher learning To the sale of blind tiger whiskey is ascribed by many the wave of crime that has sl)read over the state. "The fruit jar is becomin as common as a wealipon as the old six shooter," says the Abbeville Press and Hanner and probably rightfully. In Iaurens county, we believe, there is less whis key being made than in many other counties, due in part to the (iligence of our peace officers, and less is being sold. A "crime wave," if there is such, has not reached this county, and may be explained by the scarcity of the white li:ghtning. Determined peace officers and stern judges can reduce 'the crime wave if they will,, but after all, the will of the people prevails. 'If the laws are not being enforced t;ublic sentiment is not being brought to bear strongly against it. There is no reason to decry the sale of intoxi cating whiskey if the people are afraid to speak out against the offiers who refuise to enforce the law.

The city of -Columbia is deriving from the University as a coeducation al Institution a decided benefit--even though the women students, because they have no building, are cut off from much of the University student life. A Columbian may send his daughter to the University and save some hundreds of dollars a year and more Columbians are taking advant age of the oportunity each year. The University is a low-priced school for men. The same standard of expenses would apply to women if they had a University home. Is this coeducational University to be maintained with specil privileges for men and for young women of Columba, while the young women or other counties are practically ex (luded frorn it? Would it be a wise conrse to close the University to men for a few years and turn over the dormitories to wo men? That seems a preposterous suggestion--but 1 what is un reasoniable or illogical in it, seeing that the policy and the law of the state opens it to woiii.il --T-'lhe State. 11013 .1N( DI-:l'l'IEJS IN T' '1'I l I .

One was qtuartered on Cap tain Chris. C'aptain had14 a vicious old bull that no pasture fence would turn. lie had him impounded inl a stable and wi'id ened lot. Texas was bragging to Capt. Chris that he could ride anything that walked on four legs. Christ carried him out to the lot and showed him Taurus and asked him to ride the bull. Texas requested the negro men to saddle and bridle him. When ready he called out, Open the gate and let him loose. The bull went like a blue streak down the road, until he got into some timber, then he went to jumping the bushes to rub Texas off. Capt. Christ put his fox dogs alter the bull to hasten his speed. They gave him a nice race. In the evening Texas rode old Tair uis ul> to Capt. Clhris' hou se--.ist as *entle' as an old plow mule. Wim. 1). 8. Gr i l ar i Th m -: I-'d n , Imo tn Pit .
