row DIxoN-woMAN SUFFRAGE.


In the conservatively slow old State Of
South Carolina, the only State which is
even sterner in its hostility to divorce
than the Bible, twenty-six men were
found to vote for an amendment to the
Constitution to give women the electoral
franchise.
Right here in Raleigh, "set in its
ways" and not given to running Off
after strange gods, two of the most
prominent members of the bar, and
the two ordinarily the slowest
to take up with new tangled notions,
stated in q conversation few days ago
that they we're converts to woman suf-
frage. Each was surprised at the con-
version of the other, and those present
were astounded at the profession of both.
They were not advocating woman suf-
frage. They had been reading the argu-
ments in favor of it, and had merely
Intellectually assented to the arguments
advanced.
These two instances are given
to show that the cause of
woman suffrage has made head
way in soil supposed to be the most I'M
fruitful. If here, where there has been
no agitation, the seeds have terminated,
what might not be expected in sections
where it has become live and lively
issue2
Tom Dixon is given to surprising his
audiences. He is nothing if not sensa-
tional, and the average man supposed he
would take the new idea about ''The
New Woman" The oldest fogy in North
Carolina could not have hewed closer to
the line of old fashioned ortho-
doxy. But, though strictly orihO-
dox, according to our "doxy'' in SEN
timent, there was nothing old fashioned
or trite in the brilliant and logical ar
gument he made against woman suf-
frage. There wasn't platitude in the
lecture from beginning to end. 1t scin-
tillated with thought and bristled with
point from the opening sentence to the
concluding words.
There are two arguments against
woman suffrage that go to the root of
the question, and the enforcement of
these two was the subject matter of Mr..
Dixon's lecture. ">
/. A ballot not backed by bayonet
cannot enforce its DEGREES.
2. Love is more powerful force in
controlling the world than law. Wo
man controls now by love. She cannot
retain both sceptres. Love is the highest
and the most powerful. She gives up
the highest influence when she pleads to
be "the equal of man, whereas, by the
use OF her own peculiar force, she is his
superior
The whole question about "the new
woman" reyolyes around these two prop
ositions. Mr.. Dixon's presentation OF
them was masterful, surprising in
strength, logic, illustration all his pre-
vious efforts. He answers all arguments
and settles the question with philoso-
phical and intellectual reasoning, not
unmixed with vein of humor and
touch of ridicule, but only touch.
Tom Dixon cuts the last foot Of ground
from under the woman suffragists.

Is Prof. Graham "a Hoodoo ?

Charlotte News.
Prof. Alex Graham, superintendent of
the graded schools of this city was
standing by the side Of Charles Wheeler,
the electrician who was kill by an cleo
trio wire in Atlanta. Prof Graham
says that the wire simply touched the
tip Of one of Wheeler's fingers, when he
dropped to the ground as if shot His
death was instantaneous. At the risk of
making Prof Graham a hOodoo, in the
estimation of some people, it is recalled,
that he was by the side of the first man
killed at the Philadelphia Centennial
1t was on the platform of a crowded car,
and the man next to Prof Graham fell
and was ground under the wheels.

There is certainly one very nice
feature about being potentate, and
that is the income that comes to the
occupant of a lofty place. Besides
having all his wants attended to, and
a large number of palaces always

is said to receive $4,000 a day; the
sultan of Turkey receives $18, 900 a.
day; the emperor of Austria rejoices
in $4,000 a day; Emperor William
has to get along on $4,000 from
breakfast to bedtime; Queen Victoria

New Fish and Game Laws.

The fish and game laws of the state
have been revised. The principal
changes in the regulations are as fol-
lows:
Under the oldiaws black, green and
Oswego bass could be caught from
May l to February /, and such sport
could not be INDUCED in during the
months of February, March and
April. Under the new law bass fish
ing may be begun only June 1 and
may continue until March l, but it is
prohibited during the months of
March, April and May.
The same change has been made in
the regulation for the catching Of
muscallonge. Under the old law the
season was the same for muscailonge
as for bass, and under the new one
1t begins one month later and ends
March l instead of February /.
The season for wall-eyed pike under
the old law lasted ten months, from
May / to March /; only during the
months of March and April no pike
could be lawfully fished. The new law
makes the season for pike the same
as tor bass and muscallonge; that is,
it is limited to nine months, and
wall-eyed pike cannot lawfully be
caught during March, April and May.
The same applies to pickerel. The
season for trout fishing is limited to
the time April Is to August 20.
Under the old law the season extended
from April 15 to September /.
ID The seasons for game hunting haye
been changed as follows: Deer, buck,
doe or fawn may be shot only during
twenty-one days in the year, from
November L to November 21. The
law thus takes off one week from the
season, for under the old law this
game could behunted from November
l to December /. The new law pro-
hibits entirely the killing of any such
animals in Sheboygan county for a
period of five years. It is made un-
lawful to hunt deer, buck or doe in
the night time, or at any time with
dogs, and to use a dog or dogs to
hunt rabbits during the time the law
permits the hunting of deer, but this
does not apply to the counties south
of the deer belt.
The season for hunting quail, wood
cock, partridge, pheasant or ruf1ed
grouse, mallard, teal Or wood duck,
plover or snipes is heightened eleven
days. Under the old law these birds
could be shot during the months from
September 1 to December THAT is,
three months. Now it will be lawful
to shoot them from August 20 to
December l. The killing of all kinds
of pheasants, including Monaghan,

Judging from the way the oil trust
and the beef trust are squeezing the
people, the last Democratic congress
imposed the highest tariff we have
had in many years"

WE suspect the donation OF a
normal school will put quietus on
that noisy bluff about a new common
wealth from the Superior end of Wis
consin. It isn't the first time a child
refused to play in the back yard if his
associates wouldn't look at his sore
thumb. 1t was when Superior's re-
quests for legislation of one sort and
another were greeted coldly that the
threat of secession began. 1t seems
that Minnesotans up at the head Of
the lake have been growing the same
way in the capitol at St. Paul. A
proposition to give Duluth a normal
school was killed recently, and

nantly said: GAS result of this in
