But will he do it? He has gone.
with a perfect fanfare of the trum-
pets of publicity, to serve month
aboard the battleship North Dakota
of the Atlantic fleet. Everybody
ashore and asea knows that the SYM
pathetic heart of the lieutenant-com-
mander throbs beneath certain
sailors blouse. And it seems more
than humanity probable that he will
be looked after bit by his temporary
superior officers. If he Is, It would
of course spoil the sacrifice.
But whether he is looked after or
not. whether or not he is well or
meanly treated, the fact that his mis-
sion is known will utterly destroy it's
utility. No one would give a rip for
his testimony, no matter what it is
No matter what the result of the ex-
pertinent, no matter how honest the
patriotic officer may be, his testimony
is already hopelessly tainted with
skeptiCal distrust.
He might as well get back into his
uniform, and leave the reforms of the
navy TO the slow ameliorations OF
time-and unexpected disclosures.

perhaps juries have been too slow to
convict, perhaps clemency at the
hands Of the governor and the pardon
board has been exercised too often.
All of these. things combine when an
explanation of the unusual number
of killings is sought. Perhaps none
of these are responsible. Perhaps it
is something else, altogether.
But that severe punishment as a
deterrent is logical will hardly be de-
MED There are many who oppose
ticular convicted person, that it may
deter others from following in his
footsteps, and such opposition is also
logical. There is. however, no one to
say that murderer should not be
punished, and if such punishment also
acts as a deterrent, so much the bet
ter. Few murders are justified; some
are. but it is more often the case that
the murderer, rather than the mur.
dered, is the aggressor.
Few murderers escape altogether
That much, at least, can be said to
the credit of the courts. The cleo
trio chair in the penitentiary is not
kept busy by any means, but every
now and then some poor unfortunate
pays the extreme penalty. Only last
week a murderer from this county es-
capped the chair by a narrow margin
and was given life sentence instead
The day he was to have been electro
cuted a man from another county
paid the penalty.

AN EPIDEMIC OF HOMICIDES

In the past two months. without
any figures at hand, We should say
there have been as many as twenty
homicides in South Carolina There
seems to be general epidemic all
over the state. The killing Of the
sheriff of Greenville county shocked
that community last week: the latest
was in Newberry county 4 deserter
i.Jm the navy killed a neg . chauf-
feur in Charleston last week, took his
car and escaped to Charlotte, where
he was captured. When taken back
to Charleston he confessed the kill
ing. 1t has almost reached the point
that every time two men fa'l ont or
into play and one or the other. and in
some instances, both parties are
killed In the number of homicides
in the state in the recent past, Lam
caster county has only one. some
counties have several each and some
have none.
Reflection upon the conditions and
upon the number of killings, among
both white and colored, brings up the
question Of whether the courts have
been melting out sufficient punishment
to those convicted to serve both as a
punishment and as a deterrent Per-
haps the courts have been too lenient

SCISSORS AND PASTE.
Getting Sailors Point of View.
Columbia State)


There has been a good deal Of COM
plant here and there OF the treatment
Of our sailors while on their ships.
This may be merely in keeping with
the tradition of the service, for we
can not recall a period of history in
which there were not bitter com
plants Of the treatment of Jack and
his mates. Literature, both history
and fiction. is full of these complaints.
We could hardly get along without
this picturesque feature of our an
nails and our stories.
But whether or not it is true or
half true or any part OF it true. is a
difficult thing TO decide. If the abuses
that have notoriously existed and
still exist were remedied today they
would come back, at least in the lit
erature of the sea, not later than day
after tomorrow.
There seems to be little doubt that
men are treated worse and more
tyranically on board ship, and in serv-
ice before the mast or in the bowels
of the modern ship of steel and steam
than in any other service. Horrors OF
this sort are continually being re-
vealed, after some hellish voyage such
as ended the other day in New York
harbor, where the skipper and mate,
as we recall. were punished for bru-
tality and permitting sailor to
drown before their eyes.
But can these things exist in our
own fine navy? Impossible the
young eagles scream. And yet the
other day an enlisted sailor asked
that he be sent to Portsmouth prison
because he would be better treated
there than on shipboard."
DR.. Johnson observed that no man
would live on shipboard who could
contrive to get himself put in Jail.
On hearing or learning of the re-
mark of the sailor we have just
quoted, Liuetenant Commander
Thomas Mott Osborne decided to step
out of his officers uniform and take
up the life OF Jackie for a month to
see what there was in it. He de-
termined, he said. to get at the point

CULLEN Is \ CROUCH.

-
Robert Quillen is editor of the
Fountain Inn Tribune. Most of we
editors would expect to be looking
down the barrel of a big shotgun if
we wrote like Quillen, but somehow,
he gets by with it. Hear him as to
styles:
Frequently there comes to my
ears the complaint OF some lady ad-
dicted to hobbies that rude men turn
to observe her exposed calves when
she steps into a car or buggy.
The complaining lady always
makes fine show Of indignation
or SO the matter is always related to
me-but never TAIL to laugh at the
joke
What joke? you ask. Why, wood
en-head. the pretended Indignation Of
the lady.
when woman puts on a hobble
skirt. does not she know that it will
expose her to the stares OF the multi
tude every time she takes a step up?
''Of course she knows it.
Then why does she persist in
wearing such a skirt?
There is only one answer to that
question. Horatio. She continues to
wear 'em because she wants the pub
= lie to examine her calves occasion
ally.
''You think otherwise? Then you
are stupid If the dear things didn't
want to show themselves they would
wear different clothes.
IF a man stopped on the street
every few minutes and pulled his
trousers above his knees, could he
have any other object than showing
the shape of his leg? Assuredly not
unless he was endeavoring to break

mo, there is no room for argu-
ment on this matter. When a woman
dresses so as to nccessitate frequent
exposure of her legs, she knows en-
actly what she is doing. She may
pretend to be offended when men
stare. but, dear heart she would be
really and truly offended if men did
no re.
But. at that, there is not much ex-
posed that is worthy second glance.
\ we'll turned ankle is a rare thing
Either the design is that of slat,
from the ankle bone to the knee cap.
or else the ankle is swollen to Clydes-
dale proportions and looks stove-up.
There ought to be law to pro-
hibit showing deformIties and oddi-
ties in public. anyway"
We have only newspaper ac-
quaintance" with CULLEN; we don't
know what kind OF an individual he
Is outside his official sanctum, or
whether he carries a revolver, or is
accompanied by a bodyguard But
he's evidently crouch Of the worst
sort There's nothing the matter
with the styles; the women, some of
the women, it's safer to say, go to
the extreme in dress, to be sure but
even Quillen will not say that the
hoop-skirt looked better than the
presentday styles. And. furthermore,
the more that styles are talked about,
the more room there will be for talk,
because if styles fail to attract atten-
ton. they fail of their purpose. The
only remedy we know for Fountain
Inn Is to provide lower steps on the
trains and buggies and automobiles
thereabouts; then perhaps Quillen
will be satisfied.

THE ABOUNDING PROSPERITY
UPON WHICH THE COUNTRY
HAS ENTERED.
rhe Manufacturers Record says:

For months the United States
government urged all business men to
realize that they could sell" prosper
ity to the country by big, bold adver-
tising. 1t urged everybody to adver-
tise heavily; if they were already ad-
vertising. to increase their expendi-
lures and broaden their publicity
campaign; and If they were not ad
vertising. to begin an aggressive cam
paign.
Never was better business advice
given. never was it more fully accept
ed. and never was there greater
demonstration of the wisdom of such
advice. Business men everywhere
commenced to advertise more freely
and on broader lines. Many men who
had never done much advertising saw
a new light and began to advertise,
while old-time advertisers made larg-
er appropriations and gave greater
heed to the almost limitless power of
publicity.
The result is everywhere in evil
dence. The confidence displayed by
heavy advertising begat confidence.
The optimism of advertisers created
optimism, and the pessimists SUNK
back into their holes and pulled the
holes in after them-permanently
buried face downward. as is the Just
desert of every man who becomes
pessimist in America.
Many men who at first did not see
just how advertising could help their
individual business, nevertheless
they. too, if broad in vision and pa
triotic in spirit. began to advertise,
following the governments advice.
and soon they felt pride in being
numbered among the business lead
ers who were doing their part toward
bringing prosperity to the country
and thus helping to destroy the seeds
of Bolshevism, which fructify in pow
erty soils and which die In soils where
prosperity is tlourishing.
Largely as an outcome of this
splendid work. vigorously conducted
by the secretary of labor and to whom
great credit is due, everyone now
realizes that the country has taken
the right road at the forks, and in
stead of travelling toward the land Of
poverty and anarchy, is headed
straight on the road TO the land of
abounding national prosperity, and
this glorious change is largely due to
the power of advertising, which Gre
ated an air Of optimism, and as a ma
tion thinketh in its heart, so is it.
The nation is now thinking in terms
OF publicity-created prosperity, and
it realizes as never before that adver-
tising is the great power which has
saved us from stagnaton and unem-
| Iployment, and that advertising, big,
broad and intelligent advertising, will
| keep the nation travelling safely on
the road of prosperity

government. a work of patriotism as
