Mr. flanders Testihes.

The sickness of Juror ]. W. Taylor pre-
rented the Coleman Sanders breach Oi
promise suit at Lancaster from proceeding
this week until Wednesday. h. NJ. san
ders. the defendant, testified Ii will be-
remembered that the plaintiff placed in
evidence n handsome diamond engage
ment ring and watch, n gift OF the deien-
dant, and that she testified that when he
presented them to her said he had pur-
chased the articles in Chicago Tor her
Today Mr.. Sanders testified that the
watch and ring had been bought for and
presented TO another young lady, to
whom he had been previously engaged
on January 9, 1898. The young lady in
question returned the articles. February
ist he became engaged by letter to Miss
Coleman and u days later he visited her,
on which occasion he had the ring and
watch with him and presented them To
the plaintiff lie had not intended to
give them to her but having them with
him ON this occasion was his reason for
doing so.
4 warm legal battle was had Thursday
over the admission Of n certain letter in
which the plaintiff was successful, during
which time the jury was taken from the
courtroom.
For the second time during the present
trial Mr.. Sanders testified for whole
day. The cross-examination To which
he was subjected was rigid. The mar
riage OF Miss Coleman and Mr.. Sanders
was to have taken place in the county
Of Caroline, at the home of her parents
on April 9th, 1898. On April 18th he
wrote to Miss Coleman as follows:
Dear Miss Gertrude: ! cannot keep
my engagement to marry you on the
9th, OwingtO circumstances over which
have no control. Hope you will par
don me. Yours truly,
X. NJ. SANDERS"
Previous to this letter Mr. Sanders had
invariably addressed Miss Coleman az
"My Dear Little Sweetheart" My Dear
Little Girly" and My Dear Sweetheart
Gertrude, signing himself in such loving
terms as "Your Devoted Lover, Romu-
lus. " On the receipt of the above letter
she Immediately wrote for an explana-
ton and also telegraphed. On the 9TH
of April he wrote very short note, say
ing that his physician had informed him
that he was in no condition To marry,
this being the only explanation he could
give.
Immediately on the receipt of this ex
PLANTATION Miss Coleman wrote Mr.. San
ders and agreed TO the postponement of
the marriage until he recovered. In this
letter she thanked him for having written
her and asked him why he had not said
it was on account of sickness that he
could not keep the engagement,a sitwould
have saved her a great deal ofembarrass-
ment, sleeplessness and anxiety and that
his conduct had exposed her to a good
deal of comment.

In VIEW of the contemplated Con-
stitutiOnal Convention the National
Woman's Suffrage Association has
established an elaborate system of
correspondence with prominent wO-
men of the State. urging them to
bestir themselves most vigorously
in behalf of woman suffrage before
the notwithstanding body. Just
what the result of this enthusiastic
and voluminous correspondence will
be upon the refined aud sensitive wo-
men OF Virginia it may be difficult to
forecast. However, it is safe to as
sert that the women of Virginia will
never be driven from the bounds of
refinement and propriety by the
taunt of being "behind the times.
To the women of Virginia the ques-
ton OF their being vested with the
right of suffrage is one of eXpediency,
delicacy and propriety, rather than
OF qualification and the legal right,
and should they ever be franchised
it is hardly to be questioned that but
few ofthem, comparatively speaking,
would go to the polls to cast a bal
lot. The best element of the Vir-
ginia women are content to remain
at their homes and attend TO their
domestic duties and leave the slime
of politics to the men; and for this
they deserve the highest cOmmenda-
ton. We have not discussed the adj
visibility of granting to women the
right TO vote, and we dOnot say that
governmental harm would be the
fruit of giving them such right, but
we feel justified in asserting that a
large percentage of the refined women
of this State and of the South will
never seek the polls, environed as
they are by a motley and noisy
crowd, for the sake of casting bal
lot. 1t is repugnant to their delicate
and refined natures.
