WOMEN FOR PROGRESS.

LOUISIANA WOMEN FOR PROGRESS.
When the Southern women decide
that they want progress, they show both
zeal and ability in promoting the
march of improvement, and their ef-
forts are usually crowned with success
The latest example is in Louisiana,
where the women of New Orleans and
Baton Rouge have just cast their first
votes under the new state constitution
that allows tax-paying women to vote
upon all questions submitted to the
taxpayers. New Orleans has been al
most the only large city without any
system Of underground sewers. The
sanitary conditions in general have been
bad, and New Orleans has often been
the gate through which yellow fever has
entered the United States. Attempts
have been made before to levy special
tax to provide sewerage, but hitherto
the effort has failed through the apathy
or opposition of the taxpayers. This
time, by the help of the tax-paying
women, the victory has been won for
clean streets and pure water.
In order to hold special election to
decide upon tax levy, certain pro-
portion of the taxpayers must petition
for it. Many patriotic citizens of New
Orleans worked hard circulating the pc
titions, but the names secured would
have fallen short of the required num-
ber but for the women taxpayers, more
than 1000 of whom gave their sigma
lures. A Woman's Sewerage and
Drainage league was formed, which car
ried on an active, though quiet, cam
paign of education. Although it rained
heavily all election day, the women cast
large vote, many of them in person,
others by proxy, as Louisiana law per-
mits. Miss Gordon, president of the
Womans Sewerage and Drainage
leaugue, collected the proxies of 300 la.
dies in favor of the tax. She voted part
of these herself, and gave others to
other women who saw that they were
cast right.
The result Of the election was an
overwhelming victory for improved
sanitation. The New Orleans Picayune
says: "Let the credit go where it be-
longs. The women of New Orleans did
it. The women in the Sewerage and
Drainage league probably did as much
work as all the men in this city put to-
gether. It was the first time in the his
tory of New Orleans that women were
allowed the privilege of suffrage, and it
was novel sight to see them at the
polls, producing their certificates of as
sessment, and then retiring to the
booths, fixing their ballots and then de-
posting them in the boxes" According
to the election commissioners, the wom-
en- made fewer mistakes in marking
their ballots than did the men. The
Picayune says they proved themselves
"a deal more competent to WELD the
ballot than a majority of the suffra-
gans."
The result shows the developing eff
feet of responsibility. Ten years ago.
when the last successful attempt to
secure sewerage was made, the women
Of New Orleans were as numerous, as

Courts Are Held in Contempt.

A Judge in Connecticut has decided
that the parents of child killed by a
railroad company shall only be entitled
to nominal damages of one dollar.
The reason given by the learned Judge is
that the services of the child are worth
nothing, and by its early death the
parents save the expense Of its keep.
How long will it be until the same judge
will allow the railroads something for
killing off the surplus population?
A Judge in New Jersey has decided
that a railroad company shall only
pay ten dollars for the killing of "a
laboring man, unless it can be proven
that the death was accompanied with
extraordinary suffering. Inasmuch as

Pen Sketch of Man.

As a sample of what an old
maid can do with a pen we sub
NIT the following: "Man is q
two-legged animal that chews to-
bacco and walks on the forked
end. Most men are born; we
never heard of but one that WASH t,
and he was made of mud, Just for
n sample. Mans life is full of
disappointment, growls and corn
cob pipes. He goes forth like u
lion in the morning and leaves
the wood for his wife to chop,
and in the evening he sneaketh
home with his pants ripped, and
raises Cain about hard times. He
has lagrippe on road working days,
and walks twenty miles to Il cir
Gus. He will chass a jack rabbit
four miles through the snow, and
then borrow II horse to ride half
a mile to the postoffice." 4"

GOLD STANDARD AND MORE
MONEY.
Secretary Gage Will Urge That
the Currency of the Country
be More Flexible.

Washington, Oct 31-Enact-
ment of the gold standard into
law and reform of the banking
currency laws SO as to give the
country more elastic bank note
currency will be the leading
recommendations of Secretary
Cages annual report.
When the secretary went be-
fore the banking and currency
commiss IN of the house of repre-
sentatives early in the present
administration and declared em-
phatically for tho enactment of
the gold standard into law, he
startled many OF his party asso-
ciates. He stood his ground.
however, and has had the salts
faction of the rank and file of his
party, with some exceptions, come
up to the standard which he has
planted.
In the same way the secretary
will now take advanced ground in
favor of bank reform and the
system of banking which will al
low banks to issue their own notes
to meet ektrac llary demands for
currency. The secretary believes
that system of bank note issues
can be devised which will insure
the safety of the note holder and
at the samo time will not endanger
the safety of the money intrusted
to the banks by depositors. He
will recommend the enactment of
a law providing for the issue Of
notes against deposits of bonds
and greenbacks, treasury notes or
silver certificates, and allowing
the banks to issue additionally
notes against their assets.
The details of the plan will be
practically the same rs those which
he recommended in his first an
nual report in 1897.
The advantage Of enabling
banks to issue notes against their
assets under restrictions and regu.
lations which would insure the
absolute safety of the notes, it is
stated, is that they would thus be
able to put out additional circu-
lation at times when money was
in demand and to retire their
notes as soon as the necessity for
the increased circulation had
passed. This would prevent the
great increase in interest rates
which now occurs periodically,
and would not produce at times
such phethora of money as to
lead inevitably to over specula~
ton.

HAZELDEN AND QUITS.
The Chairman Gives Second
Chapter and His AccuSer
Comes Again.
Special to Greenville News.

Hazelden, chairman Of the board
of dispensary commissioners, in
his second card summarizes as
follows :
"To the People of the State
Believing that yesterdays pub
lication of letters and certificates
Is sufficient to repudiate the
charges of how | paid my debts,
shall refrsin from publishing 9th
ers in my possession giving testi-
mcny along the same line.
So | shall take up the charge or
insinuation that | influenced, or
why l didn't investigate why it
was that Dillon and Marion dis
pensers purchased goods from
houses represented by friends and
relatives of mine. This deny to
be true. In all the history of my
connections with the dispenssry l
have never yet inlimated to any
one a. to what brands of goods
should be purchased other than to
carry a full line of goods whenever
practicable. The plain truth is
I've never had any choice in the
matter. | submit for your con-
sideration affidavits only of the
places he has mentioned. They
speak for themselves.
"In to>day's issue shall also
take up the charge of nv trying
to cajole and the insinuation of
intlmiduting employees to vote
for w. Mob Sloan for mayor
against Col. T j Lipscomb. This
l also deny and pronounce as false
| did ask QUITS and some one or
two others not to take so much
stock in the election, for too much
WAS being said already about the
dlspensary being used Ms a roliti-
cal machine, which QUITS must
admit he was doing to the detri
ment of his work. 1 ask your at.
tention to the affidavits of the
hands who were working here at
that time. They tell the tale as
it really was and it must he re-
membered that these men signing
these afiidavits are not ell in the
employ of the dispensary now |
desire to state frankly that trying
to influence the votes of men un-
der me is something | never do.
Respectfully,
j Dudley Hazeiden."
He follows this up with affida>
Wits from the Marion county dis
pensers that Hazelden never advo-
Gated or sought to push any brand
of liquors. He has q long string
of affidavits from dispcnsary EN-
ployees showing that he never
sought to influence their votes in
the Columbia municipal fight, but
insisted on their not mixing up in
city politics.
QUITS replies to Hazelden's 8 first
card today. He says that Hazel.
den went off at something to which
he attached much Importance. He
simply asked Hqzelden whether
he had not said that he paid S1O,-
600 of debts in Marion since he
got on the board. QUITS says
HaZelden made this remark to
Leon j Williams, Bookman and
others and il there was nothing in
the remark he wants to know why
he made it. He says Hazelden
paid other mortgages and gives
list of mortgages owed by Hazel.
den of which he claims Hazelden
made no mention.

Haselden are each out in cards

Outzs makes a denial of the
statements of Haselden, and says
Haselden docs not touch the
allegations against him, but lodges
the issue. Outzs says no wonder
Haselden does not try to influence
his help, because Haselden en-
ploys nothing but convict help.
