"ladies First"

In this age of leve!ins up and level.
ing down, and of attempting to place
women on the same plane as men in
everything, chivalry is nearly dead
letter. Many wish it were altogether
SO, regarding 1t as bar to the full
emancipation OF women. There can
be no traffic here with such
wrong headed and wrong heart
notions. In the healthy at
mosphere of sport such notions wither
and fade like exotics in an alien soil.

HOT TIME IN SENATE.
Can They Serve Two Masters.

From word that has gotten out there ap-
pears to have been something doing In the
senate of South Carolina on yesterday.
Whenever you touch the state dispensary
there Is most generally always" an explo-
sion and that nobody was hurt yesterday Is
fortunate.
1t is exceedingly unfortunate that there
should be in the senate gentlemen who are
paid attorneys for liquor houses, with claims
against the state, ana counsel for former state
officials charged with defrauding the COM
monwealth. And, further, 1t is almost scan
dal that these same men should at all times
oppose any action looking TO the investiga.
tion or prosecution OF dispepsary frauds.
1t strikes us that q com dable course for
these gentlemen 10 pursue would be 10 resign
from The senate, where they are sent TO repre-
sent the people, II they ind IT impossible or
undesirable to discontinue their professional
relations with whiskey houses and men
chsrged with defrauding the state.
No man can serve two masters.-Spartan-
