The South VIII Be Ready In 1896 to
Adopt it.
There are some who seem disposed to
make light of Senator Hemphill's pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
allowing women to vote in this state,
but he is right, and we commend him
for bringing the matter to the front
He may be early-as woman suffrage
looks long way off in South Carolina
but it is bound to come and may come
sooner than we think, as we canuot al
ways sometimes tell how rapid the
growth of public sentiment will be on
any given question of essential reform
Since the beginning Of civilization, we
might say of the world, there has been
no reform movement for the betterment
of the condition of mankind but what
women have occupied prominent place
in it Whether it be religious, moral
or political she is always there, and al
ways on the side of right and Of progress,
and to her quiet endurance and heroic
devotion to principle Christian civiliza-
ton owes the position it occupies in the
world to-day. Our country is now in
the throes of an evolution struggling
towards a higher and diviner civiliza-
ton, and, as usual, the women of the
land are in the vanguard, nobly bat
ting for the oppressed and contending
for the rights of the massesagainst the
classes. The alliance advocates these
progressive principles, and the women
have taken our organization as their
field and in the states that have given
them the opportunity they have mate
rally aided in placing those principles
in power. The cause of the people is
bound to triumph, but the day Of victory
will be fastened by obtaining the help
of the women at the ballot box-Co

There is a universal cry going up from

there is no prospect that the people

IMPORTANT BANK CASES.
The Federal Grand Jury Assemblies at In
dianapolis and Indictments win Be
Returned.

INpIANAPoLIs, md, Dec. 1S.-After
a recess of two weeks the United
States grand Jury reassembled today
and the outlook is that indictments
in the bank cases will be returned be-
fore night. Abnormal interest is
manifested regarding the individuals
that will figure in the indictments,
and the nature of the counts. and
this interest is being intensified as a
result of the rumors that the grand
iury's adjournment was due to de-
sire to give certain Individuals time
to take UP the paper that constitutes
the chief evidence of their guilt. 1t
is said that the Indictment will cover
800 typewriter pages.

HELP THE POOR.
A CHARITY FUND FOR THE RELIEF
OF THE SUFFERING POOR.
All Contributions win BE Thankfully Re-
ceived and Carefully Dis
tributed.

There are hundreds of suffering
poor-men, women and children-in
Pine Bluff who are worthy and de-
serving objects OF charity At the
suggestion and request of several citi-
zens, the DAILY GRAPHIC has decided
to raise a fund for the relief of the de-
serving and helpless poor, to be dis
tributed by a committee Of citizens
and representative OF the GRAPHIC.
The noblest attribute of human MAJ
ture is charity. The highest duty of
men is to help his fellowman-to al
1eyiate the sufferings OF the poor and
needy, to provide for the widows and
orphans, and to relieve those who
are in sickness, want and distress.
There are hundreds of objects of de-
serving charity in Pine Bluff. Never
before in its history were there as
many hopeless and helpless in sore
distress. To provide for this helpless
poor is a duty we owe our fellow
man, and the GRAPHIC sincerely trusts
that our citizens will make a liberal
response to this call.
You can contribute cash, flour,
meal. bread, clothing or anything
that will serve to appease the suffer-
ing Of the poor. The names of all
contributors will be published, from
day to day, in the columns of the
DAILY GRAPHIC, and we trust that
this call for aid will not be allowed
to pass by unheeded.
Telephone how much you will give
to Ne. 1872 or give your name and the
amount subscribed to Mr. J. W.
Adams. editor and manager of the

The names of the gentlemen com
posing the committee of distribution
will be announced later. All of the
various churches are earnestly re-
duested to cooperate in this move
ment for the relief OF the poor.
