Natal women who are members of
the local branch of the Women's Suf-
frage League have circulated petition
which they propose to present to the
Natal Parliament. The fair petitioners
claim that on the grounds Of justice,
equity and eXpediency the parliamen.
tary franchise should be extended to
them, and they contend that as women
own property, pay taxes, directly and
indirectly, and are subject to all the
laws, it is unjust that they should have
no voice in the making Of the laws

by 1,400 citizens of the island recently forwarded to President Roosevelt pro- tested vigorously against the move ment and declared that the signers were perfectly satisfied with their Cuban government.
 American residents of the Isle of Pines met as self-elected delegates, repre- senting nobody but themselves in ter ritoral convention" The whole affair was quite similar to a recent meeting at Tucson in which three score per sons met and in the name of the ter ritory of Arizona petitioned for annex ation to New Mexico.
 The Isle of Pines annexationists proceeded to organize a territorial government and to elect territorial of ficials including a delegate to the con- gress of the United States. The inn pudence of this proceeding matched that of the Tucson affair. The new territorial officers of the Isle of Pines ignoring the fact that they hadn't any authority to exercise, announced that they did not propose to exercise any authority until the sanction of Presi- ident Roosevelt and the congress of the United States had been secured
 This wassvery considerate of tnem. If they had attempted to exercise any authority they would probably have been lodged in jail with the full ap- proval of the United States govern ment, as Secretary Root in his letter pointed out.

President Roosevelt to Congressman

recommendation as the South Carroll

has brought forth quite a swarm Of

have a fear that they are all allowing
themselves to be played for dupes.
The chances are that John G. Capers.
Ernest Cochran or some other Repub-

or less confusion, particularly as to
dates.
The call of Mr.. John A. Latta, pub

of the county convention on the 18th
instant, and properly so; but the card
of Messrs. Barber, Spencer Sturgis
and Wilson, published in another COL

convention for the 18th, recommends
that date to avoid confusion. This
card having been sent out to all the
papers in the county, and being calcu-
lated to cause more confusion other
wise, and there being still time for cor
rection. the call Of Chairman Latta has
been changed to conform to it.

thing had to give way under its weight
poles were snapped In two or torn out
of the ground and wires were broken.
In some cases where there were half
a dozen or more wires on the same
poles the oss-arms were pulled on.
There are cases where whole miles OF
consecutive poles have been prostrat-

of the long distance lines. Under SIM

one thousand dollars, and the damage
in this instance Is heavier than 1t has

NOTE AND COMMENT

Among the people who struggled into
Yorkville from the surrounding coun-
try during Wednesday and yesterday,
there were quite a number whose prin-
cipal object was to get their ENoUI-
RERs.
This thing Of being almost complete
ly cut off from the outside world is a
new but decidedly unpleasant expert
ence for the people Of this locality. 1t
is only when we are deprived Of them
entirely that we can best appreciate
the advantage of good mail. telephone
and telegraph communications. d
In compliance with the request OF
Messrs. F. H. Barber, r. L. Sturgis,
w. B. Wilson and c.. E. Spencer, we
publish In another column President
Harvie Jordans call to the cotton
growers of the south. Because there
were no rural mails out Of Yorkville
Wednesday or yesterday, it is doubt
full as to whether the call for the pre-
cinct meetings tomorrow has had as
much publicity as was desired. but in
terested people of the various town
ships will no doubt see that they are
properly represented at the county
convention to be held in Yorkville on
Saturday, February 1S.

The Brice-Toole Bill.

AS to whether the senate will pass
the Toole bill which went through the
house by such a large majority Tues
day night. remains to be seen; but
there will be no occasion for surprise
In such a development. At best the
the principle of local self government.
The bill introduced in the senate by
Senator Brice early during the present
session provided that any town in
which there is dispensary. might get
rid of such dispensary at the pleasure
of a majority of the voters living with
in the corporate limits of the town.
This was killed.
The Toole bill, as we understand It,
is merely to bring about the status
sought by the original Brice bill. That
is counties shall have the right to drive
dispensaries from their limits at the
pleasure Of a majority of their quail
fed voters and that there shall be no
penaliZing tax. In other words, this
new bill merely seeks to do away with
the half mill tax that was imposed for
voting out dispensaries.
Under the Toole bill, the odds are
still in favor of the dispensary. for
even where a majority Of the voters of
a municipality are in favor of abolish
ing the dispensary from under their
noses, it may be matter Of consid-

IN THE GRID OF ICE.

The weather of the past week Is the
toughest that has been experienced In
this locality for years. and but few
people have recollection Of any such
continuous interruption Of ordinary
business for so long a time.
Conditions seemed bad enough on
Monday with the earth covered with
the sleet of two days and rain still
falling: but on Tuesday and Wednes-
day the situation grew worse instead
of better, until travel became not only
uncomfortable beyond endurance; but
more or less dangerous.
No rural mails went out Of Yorkville
either on Wednesday or yesterday, the
carriers being afraid to venture on the
roads. because of their generally
treacherous condition. During We'd
nesday afternoon and night, steady
rain froze as fast as it fell, and on
Thursday morning all exposed surfaces
were sheathed in ice from a quarter
to a half inch thick.
A gentleman who came In from the
country Thursday morning said that
portion of his journey reminded him
of trip through an icy tunnel. out
in the open," he said, II could do very
well; but where the road runs through
the woods and the limbs Of the trees
on either side are weighted down by
ice until they meet in the centre, en-
l encountered a proposition the like Of
which l do not care to tackle again.
The telephone system suffered SER
iously, not only in Yorkville but
throughout the county Wednesday
night Wires were broken and poles
were torn down by the accumulating
Ice until there were but few connec-
tions left in the town and none what
