The county l., well misunderstanding
the Saluda river for it's northern boun-
dary and Little Snludl with its tribn-
taries, drains nearly the whole county.
Some small tributaries OF the Edisto
are found on IT.. eastern slope. The
soil Is productive and yields nearly
everything that ministers to human
wants and necessities. The hills
bordering tho Suluda are famed for
cotton and the bottom lands yicld corn
and oats in profusion. The lands re-
moved from the streams are cultivated
by thrifty class Of white people and
the land is made to produce every
thing that grows in semi-trOpical
country. Corn, small grain, cotton,
tho different kinds Of cane, and many
varieties Of fruits. The finest portion
OF the celebrated Ridge country is in
cluded in our county. The cOrrespon

United States. And best Of all, besides
its law-abiding, thrifty people, it is
filled with churches and school houses.

There is Il railroad graded through

about six miles from Herbert's Ferry

This Is great company, with its lines
running from the Ohio river through
the coal regions of Kentucky, West
Virginia, Tennessee and North Caro-

ready seven and one half millions of
dollars have been expended. 1t is
now running this side Of the noun

to complete the road and its branches.
Our people may rest assured that this
money will not be lost and no railroad.

it will run from Newberry to Augusta

THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.
Hooking to Central and South
america and to Asia and Japan, by the
cuttihg OF the Nicaragua canal, for q
market for American cotton goods. the
South's position is impregnable. 1t has
every possible advantage that can be
asked for the production of cotton goods
at the lowest possible cost. Its advan-
Lagos for distribution are but little in
ferlor TO those of the North, and what
ever disadvantages it has in this wav
Will be eliminated under the general
progress which is being made. No one
can possibly any longer question the
South.s future position in the cotton
manufacturing world. The rapid de-
yelopment Of the textile industry In the
South does not necessarily involve its
decrease IN New England or Great Brit
ain. Even should these hold their
present business and continue to oper-
ate as many spindles rs they do today,
the natural increase which the ever
growing demands of the world REQUIRE
must be met by the South. 1t is possi-
bic that China and Japan may become
factors in this industry, but if they do
the reduced cost at which they will
pIoduce goods will simply be an addi-
tionnl force to drive the capital in New
lIng and British mills to the South
us the 0nly place which can hope to
meet competition from mills in japan
and China, provided this industry
,hould develop largely in those coun-
ties.
"Thc South's position is safe 1t is
only question as to whether the mill
owners of other sections shall leave the
South to develop this industry with its
own capital and by its own labor, or

.LnsrrcE 10 ROMEM.

Idaho is about to submit an amend
ment to her constitution granting the
right of suffrage to women. This act of
justice is progressing slowly, but 1t is
making progress.
1t is unfortunate that partisan politics
should have interfered IN this state, to
the extent of delaying indefinitely the
righting of a wrong inflicted by preju-
dice and false education. Much of the
objection existing to what is popularity
termed "woman's rights" arises from
a misconception of what is meant by the
expression and of the ideas and wishes
of its advocates. A fear exists that any
change in existing conditions is for the
purpose of making women more like
men, when, in fact, the object sought is
to render them as distinct as possible
from men. The object is not to make
woman manly but to give her the OPP
pOrtunity of being more womanly; that
she may cease to be a mere appendage
of man and take her place as distinct
i've human being differing from man in
every other respect as much as in that OF
physiological organization.
The object sought is not that woman
shall be compelled to do things that
man does, but that she be per-
mitted to do the things that man does
| if she shall find it necessary to her COM
fort or happiness, and that she have the
opportunity of doing them il womanly
way.
Woman, when untrammeled by legal
restraints, is as capable of taking care of
herself in her own way as man is. If
she prefer to have a man take care of
her the privilege of doing so is not to be
denied, but this solution of the problem
of existence should not be forced upon
her, as it is to great extent under pres
ent conditions.
True womanhood must inevitably be
the gamer by an extension of the rights
and privileges of the sex. 1t is not as if
she were compelled to enlarge her field
of action, but the knowledge that she
can do So if she wishes to-that she is not
debarred from any of the rights and
privileges possessed by any other part of
the human family, that will give her an
independence of thought and action,
which cannot but result benefcially to
| DOtn DIVISIONS OF the race. w men woman
has attained her equality before the law,
the superiority which is now conceded to
her through courtesy and chivalry, will
be hers in fact. There will be no more
desire to be mannish, but the highest
aim of the sex will be to be womanly.
The disposition evinced by many
women to be mannish, is the result of
the natural tendency in humanity to
strive to attain that which is forbidden.
| Whenever the "lords of creation" shall
say to woman there is nothing we are
permitted to do that you may not do if
you think it best for you, her descent
from the lofty pinnacle on which nature
has placed her will be much less fire.

TO DEFEND TOPEKA CLUB.
Mrs. Stryker Will Say Good Word For
1t Tonight.

Mrs. Stryker Will Say Good Word For
1t Tonight.
Mrs. Althea Briggs Stryker's address
tonight at Hamilton hall, told about in
last Thursdays JOURNAL, will be largely
attended doubt. 1t is free.
Those who were instrumental in secur-
ing the hall approved of her attitude at
the Tracy temperance meeting where
she severely criticised some of the To-
peka ministers for their attitude toward
the Topeka club. While her address to-
night is the outgrowth of her action
then, she says she does not propose to
make that the basis of her talk.
The subject of her address is to be
"Modern Pharisees; or, Churchianity
Versus Christianity" and those who
know Mrs. Stryker say that what she
says will be decidedly interesting.
Il realize that l am undertaking quite
a task when l attempt to criticise the
church. / intend to make my criticisms
| general, but will make some local appli-
cations. Whatever say, shall engage
| in nothing of a personal nature.
Il will not denounce Christianity, but
the Pharisaism of the church today.
will show where the church has been
the laggard in every reform in the world
and has never been the leader. All
/ Christian reformers have had first to
battle with the Church and its Pharisees.
The reforms of the world have been
struggles with the church"
Mrs. Stryker will devote part of her
address to a discussion of the temperance
reform, and she will also say something
about the churches voting with the
whiskyites and then after election hold
ing temperance revival ito get square
with the Lord" as she expresses it.
Mrs. 6tryker is an ardent suffra gist,
and, of course, she will say something on
the question of woman suffrage She
SAYS that "Christ and true Christianity
have been the greatest friends and liber-
ators of women, while the church has
been her greatest enemy"
1t may surprise some, but Mrs Stryker
boldly announces that she intends to
speak COOK word for some of the mem
bers of the Topeka club. She says that
some of the greatest acts of Christianity
are done outside the church, and as an
example she will speak of the Topeka
clubs treatment of Mary Hedrick.
Some new ideas on Christianity may
be expected, and those who expect them
will not be disappointed
As Mrs Stryker's friends have secured
the hall there will be no charge for ad
mission.
