Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease is making the
| WCihLI llhS III 1Aohodc. NlC lao OCCi
removed from office by the populist
governor of the state, and, as may be
| imagined from her general reputation
| as a woman of large mouth and long
tongue, she is splitting the air with
her peculiar vocabulary. Mrs. Lease
is one of those absurd nuisances who
seem to be possible only in new states
We do not think we have ever heard Of
her counterpart in any of the Older
commemorative.
In marked contrast to this noisy
shrew was Miss Mary Yeargin, of South
Carolina, who was drowned recently
in Cayuga lake, New York. Her PEG
pie were poor, and unable to give bel
the benefit of collegiate education
But she earned the money for herself
doing the work of an engineer in cot
ton gin. She thus paid her way
through college, and was taking a spe
cial postgraduate course at Cornell
| University when her useful and honor
able life came to a tragic end. She
was an authority ON industrial schools
| for woman, and the South Carolina
| Normal school was founded in accord
ance with her suggestions. Miss Year
gin was model southern woman
Mrs. Lease is holy terror and pesti
lent nuisance whom we trust Governor
Lewelling will succeed in abating il
some ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
