VOTES WERE CAST
BY 1876 WOMEN
THEIR INTEREST IN POLITICS AP-
PARENTLY GROWING.
Popularity Of Two Women Candidates
for Board of Education Prompted
Them to 90 to the Polls-Maj GRITTY
of Female Votes Were Cast in Fourth
and First Wards.

While no organized effort was made
by the Political Equality league of
Minneapolis to bring out the female
vote at the recent primary, election,
the vote of this year, as far as re-
ported in the preliminary returns, is
considerably larger than that Of four
years ago, when the league made a
most business-like endeavor to get the
women to the polls.
The large humber of female voters
appearing at this primary election of
their own volition is taken by the Off
GERS OF the league as an Indication
that among the women of the city there
is growing interest in local politics.
Much of the vote of this years primary
election may also be due to the popu-
larity of the candidates Endorsed by
ton for the board of education. Mrs.
Bessie Laythe Scovell, state superin-
tendent Of the w. G. T. u, and Mrs.
Alice Taylor were the leagues candi-
dates.
The vote cast by the women Of the
city in the primary election OF 1900
was ITO; that of 1902 was 446, and
ported, was 1926. with some precincts
to hear from. Of the 1926 votes re.
corded this year, 1000 were those of
republicans and 457 registered as demo
Gratis.
Of the different wards, the fourth
cast 234 female votes and the first
ward 231. This condition is the more
peculiar in that in the fifth precinct
of the first ward there were cast 4e
republican and 4S democratic votes, in
the sixth precinct 40 republican votes
and in the seventh %. In the same
ward the sixth precinct cast 20 and the
seventh precinct 40 democratic votes.
The twelfth ward cast the smallest
female vote-7, and the fifth anC
eighth showed a very small proportion
Of votes cast by the women. The fe
male vote by wards was: First, 231
second, 81; third, 1875; fourth, 234
fifth, SO; sixth, rs; seventh, 3d.. eighth
1872; ninth, l61; tenth, 60; eleventh
liz; twelfth, Z; thirteenth, %.

LOVE WILL FIND WAY
General Corbin's Idea on Army Mar
riages Doesn't Terribly Officers.

:. Major General Cerbin,s reeom nIrs
commissioned officer of the regular
establishment be allowed to kneel at
Hymen7s altar without first receiving
the permission of the secretary of wal,
has aroused considerabl discussion and
some adverse criticism among the
younger officers in local army circles.
"Of course, as soldiers, we do not
presume to criticize, or, even discuss,
the recommendations Of our superior
offcer,' remarked a young lieutenant;
"but as free American citizen I am
willing to voice the sentiments of the
majority Of army officers by saying
that General Corbin' s recommendation
is mere meddling in the affairs Of free
men. We, however, are not worried
much. 1t is one thing to make rec
concentrations and another thing to get
them adopted, and I do not think there
is any danger Of having marriage in the
army restricted by any such rule as
the general suggests.'

A Slander Nailed.

Some time ago Congressman Scott
of Kansas asserted on the floor Of
Cniled States House Of Represents
tires that while Grover Cleveland
was President negro named c Il J
Taylor had diIel with him 1T the
White House. The purpose Of this
statement was 10 Offset the Lo:cri-
ous fact that Booker Washington
was entertained by Roosevelt. y few
days after Scott's charge letter was
read in the House by Il member who
had written to cleveland asking him
about the matter. In his reply Mr.
Cleveland ayerred that "the state
ment that the colo.ed man, c II J
TAYLOR, took lunch with him at the
White House &as deliberate fabri-
cation, out of the whole cloth, ,
which is parliamentary way OF
characterizing it as 's.malicions lie.
There are great. many things
about Mr. Cleveland that We do not
admire, but for the sake of the Dem
ocratic party, by which he was
elected chief executive, we are truly
glad that he was in position to
deny in 10 ,ynbiguous way this SLAM
derous charge.
When the Ex-Presldent's letter
was read Mr. Scott sid that he had
read the statement in the newspapers
and had never seen it denied. When
pressed for the name Of the paper or
papers Mr. Scott said that che had

The Hampton Monument.
forgotten

Nearly $1,000 of the $4,000 to
be raised by the people of South Car
olina for the Hampton monument
has been subscribed, leaving about
$4,000 yet required tt. be raised.
A few days ago a statement was
printed il the daily papers showing
how much had been subscribed by
the various counties. This state
ment shows that the whole amount
that has been raised has been sub.
scribed by twenty-eight counties, the
subscriptions varying in amount
from 81 from Edgefeld to $l356
from Richland. But the thing that
most concerns us is that Williams
burg does not appear in the list Of
counties that have paid ANYTHING all.
This is a most mortlfying and
Illuminating state of things and Ii
should be remedied as soon as pos
sible. In the dark and stormy days
of Reconstruction Wade Hampton
was the Moses who led us out of the
wilderness of "carpet-bag" rule, and
Williamsburg has much to be CRATE
ful for to his memory for his inhu-
ence and guidance during that I'M
speakably gloomy period. And yet
according to the showing made not
one man, woman or child has contri-
buted one cent to give visible recog
milton to the love and honor that,
We feel sure, is felt for him in every
heart.
Very little good it will do him, it
is true, this tardy tribute to his
greatness; but it will at least show
the world that we do not allow our
departed heroes to rest in oblivion,
their memory effaced in the dull
dead dust of forgetfuluess. Friends,
let us do something to put our county
in better light. Any contribution,
however small, will be acceptable.
We will take it upon ourself to for
ward any subscriptions left at this
office to the monument committee,
along with the name of the donor.
We hope that this appeal will not

Lake City's Enterprise.

WI Bass in his Lake City CORES
pondence of the County Record says
that a canning factory is being
worked up in that town. This is
good news. Lake City is live town
and one of the finest truck sections
in the country surrounds it, thous-
ands of dollars worth of good mater
ial for canning goes for song there
every year and this enterprise, if
properly conducted, as We doubt not
it will be, will prove a great money
saver for the community. The South
has passed the experimental stage in
the canning business, goods manu-
factured in this section are in de-
mand now, whereas a lew years ago
it was hard to find a market for
them. During these years Of ex-
perimental work and preparing the
markets ..of the world for southern
canned stuff, a number of our local
enterprises went by the board. There
is not much danger of further fail
ures along this line and our friends
in Lake City will set all example for
the rest of the truck raising country
to follow. 1t is 10 use to say We
cannot do this thing or that thing
