GRANTED
TO WELL GOGGANS

Clumbia Record, 8th.
Brought here late Monday to be cleo
trocuted December II, Will Goggans, a
negro convicted at the March, 1913,
term of court for Newberry county,
will not be punished for his crime un-
tilMa rch 4, 1915, according to a re-
prieve by Governor Blease filed Tues
DAY in the office of secretary of State.

cuted April 25, 1913, and his sentence
was stayed by reprieve until May q,

SUBMARINES.
Fhe Risks They Run and Some OF the
Things They Can Do.

Things lhey Can 10.
The modern type of submarine car
ries FIVE torpedoes, which it can dis
charge one after the other by means OF
compressed air. So perfect is the firing
arrangement that hardly any shock can
be noticed either during or after the
discharge, and the equilibrium of the
vessel is not upset in the least.
When it is realized that each Of these
torpedoes is quite capable Of making a
hole in a battleship as large as a hay
stack. it will be seen that the sinking
of battleship that is not armored be
low water is practically an easy task
for them.
A submarine vessel. however, runs
considerable risk in even attempting to
torpedo another vessel. Before it can
fire a torpedo it must come to the sur
face and show its periscope in order to
aim the weapon correctly. If the bat
tleship once sees the periscope the OBJ
ject of the submarine is practically
thWarted. for such vessel can be
sunk by shell from big gun when
only it's periScope is visible. because of
the fact that the cushion of water
above the vessel does not offer sufti-
cient resistance TO prevent the shell
sinking and holiLg it.
While running on the surface OF the
sea gasoline engines are used to drive
the submarines. These engines also
generate electricity. in addition to pro-
pelling the vessel. and this is stored up.
AS soon as the submarine dives the
gasoline engines stop and 1t is driven
by an electric motor. which gets its
power from the stored up electricity.
The speed at which the average sub
marine can travel is eleven knots on
the surface and five below water.
A submarine can go to the bottom or
the sea near shore and. if it is neces-
sary, sit on the bottom for twenty
four hours at stretch without coming
I'D to the surface to breathe" The
ability TO do this comes IN very handy
when a storm is raging. for below the
surface waves arc ASS S0PSAASASSAS
Some of the latest types Of vessels can
run for 45OO miles without taking In
fresh supply Of stores CT fuel.
In calm weather the submarines
range Of vision is somewhere about
eight miles. That is to say, an oppos-
ing warship can be seen when 1t Is
eight miles away, and, as at that dis
tance the periscope would be almost.
if not quite. invisible, the man-of-War
would be unaware Of tie submarines
presence. Then, by means of the gyro-
scope compass, the submarine could
fully submerge itself and without even
the periscope showing run to within
striking distance Of the vessel 1t has
designs upon.
The mere fact that before it can
strike a submarine has to come to the
surface and show it's periscope renders
1t vulnerable, for if the periscopes are
showing a large vessel knows exactly
where the submarines are and can
both fire at them and also keep out or
the way of torpedoes from them

Harm the Theatre.
In the course of an interesting inter
view with Cyril Maude, the famous
English actor, in the January Noman's
Home Companion. Mr. Maude explains
in part as follows why he thinks the
movies will help rather than injure the
theatre:
$50 many American interviewers
I.aYe asked me if 1 am not afraid that
the legitimate drama will be 2urt by
the present craze for pictures. Not at
all, The drama has always competed
With other torms of entertainment, and
has always neld its own. Poor spoken
drama will go down before the film
drama, but good drama will go trl-
umphantly forward You cannot salts
fly the public completely by appealing
to one sense only.
"'But I do maintain t.at in the end
the legitimate, the spoken drama will
gain heavily by the moving picture
craze as you call it. find t2at here
in America, as in England, there is a
certain percentage of the population
which still believes the theatre to be a
power for evil.
'"'Now these people have been
drawn to the picture theatres through
what is known as the educational film.
There they have seen dramatic class
les reproduced, TIE Shakespearean
tragedies and comedies, "Quo Vadis, =
and dozens of modern masterpieces.
They now see the drama as power
for good, the theatre as forum for
the discussion of social, civic, and in
dustrial problems. Gradually these
one-time spurners of the drama are
coming to the legitimate theatre
