We noticed All editorial in the Ix-

trust that Anderson County voters will |
require aspirants for Legislative honors
to state definitely where they stand on
sn1s 81 .mnOFt9nt question. This sub

and we hope it will be
kept hot till election day. Although
We cannot agree with all that has been
said by different correspondents, we
like to hear an honest expression of
opinion. One writer some time ago |
said it was good thing that the ladies |
could not vote, and graphically pic
tnred q candidate kissing the baby,
the mother, Dragging on her
dinner, etc. This writer thought that
a smooth -tongued man, nicely dressed,
could easily carry the feminine vote, if
the ladies were allowed the privilege
of expressing themselves at the ballot
box. We differ with our friend on this
question, and, although the true
Southern woman does not want to vote,
we think the majority of them would
be the last to be deceived in love or in |
war, in politics or religion. The wo-
men of our country, as a whole, are far |
superior to the men, according to the |
idea of your humble servant. "Why

nor are given in inn Im,3rriageF.' Give it
women do, FOR there won't be half |
