FRENCH WOMEN MAY BE FIRST.
Statesmen Favor Granting the Equal
ity of Suffrage.

Paris, Nov Alt would be strange
if, after the painful struggle of Eng
lishwomen to obtain the suffrage, their
sisters across the Channel should be
the first to get the vote, but according
to recent reports many French states
men are in favor of granting suffrage
to women. In speech lately M. Fal-
Heres expressed the Intentionally
guarded but noteworthy hope that he
would live to see equality realized
between the sexes"
Nine. Schmah1, who in an interview
with the prime minister of France not
long ago obtained from him the assur-
ance that personally he was in favor
of votes for women, has published a
number of replies on the question OF
suffrage sent by men of all professions
and parties from the Marquis de Sc
CUR, Roya1ist member of the French
Academy, down to Jean Grave, the
oretician of anarchist communism
The former says he has not studied
the question deeply, but is not oppos-
ed to woman suffrage, though hs
draws the line at the eligibility c1
women to Parliament for reasons 'up
on which he will not dwell"

FARMS AND PROSPERITY.
Two Remedies Prescribed for Present
Conditions.

A noteworthy address has been de-
Iivered by President Brown, of the
New York Central Railway, upon "The
nations farms and national prosperi-
ty." It must be said that this rail-
way executive proves himself a clear
sighted social economist. He recog-
nfzes the Importance of the fact that
the frontier has become tradition;
that the unoccupied land is gone, and
that any depression of manufacturing g
industries, which is sure to come,
must mean a vast increase in the num-
Der of unemployed.
But he not only emphasizes a con-
dition; he points a remedy, or two
remedies. One Of these is the increase
of manual training schools attached to
every high school, college, and univer-
sity, where young men may become
skilled in useful trades, while agri-
cultural colleges should be heightened
in efficiency. The other is that the
rural population be doubled, "by more
than doubling the product per acre OF
the nations farms"

HONORED BY CONFEDERATEs.

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 14.-Mrs.
William G. Brownlow, widow OF the
famous 'Parson" Brownlow, Tennes-
sees war governor and later United
States senator, was officially present
ed with resolutions adopted by N. B.
Forrest Camp of Confederate Veterans
of Chattanooga on the occasion OF her
ninetieth birthday anniversary, thank
ing her for her efforts in behalf OF
the Confederate soldiers, disfranchised
as result of the Civil War, in again
securing the. franchise in 1870.
In her historic home here, Mrs
Brownlow received a delegation from
Forrest Camp, among whom was Col
Tomlinson Fort, of Chattanooga, whe
was present when the original confer
ence was held with Senator BrownlOv
forty years ago, at which Mrs. Brown
low uttered the words that showet
her sympathy for the Southern sol
diers, and as a result OF which tn
Brown1ow influence was thrown ol
the side of granting the franchise t
Confederate soldiers.

FIGHT ON IN VIRGINIA
G. 0. P. Legislators will.
Support Anti-SaIoon
Measure.

Combination With PrOhibi-
ton Democrats i'm Va.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 15.-That
the Republican members of the next
general assembly of Virginia will
throw their votes and influence to the
ohibition-Democratc legislators in
the fight to pass the statewide prohi-
bition submission bill to be presented
the legislature by the Anti-Saloon
League is the statement of prominent
Virginia Republicans in Washington.
Representative Bascom Slemp, Re-
publican state chairman, when asked
in regard to this report, declared that
such plan is under consideration He
said it is very probable the Republi-
can legislators will support the SUBJ
mission bill, but that final action will
not be taken in regard to this plan un-
til the legislators hold a conference
and map out a legislative program.
Joseph L. Crupper, of Alexandria,
who ran for state treasurer on the Re-
publican ticket, when asked in regard
to the report, expressed the hope that
the Republican legislators will sup
port the submission bill.
"The Republicans of Virginia are
done with the Saloons" said Mr.. Crup-
per in discussing the matter.

OVER A HUNDRED DROWN.
Mail Steamship Goes Down Between
Java and Singapore.

Singapore, Nov. 14.-The mail
steamer La Seyne, of the Messageries
maritime service, running between
Java and Sinapore, and on her way
to this port, was in collision early this
morning with the steamer Onda, of
the British India line, and sank within
two minutes. Seven European passen.
gers, including Baron and Baroness
Beniczky, the captain of LIE Seyne,
five European officers and eighty-eight
others, comprising native passengers
and members of the crew, were
drowned.
The rescue of sixty-one persons,
practically from the jaws of shoals of
sharks, formed thrilling incident of
the wreck.
The accident occurred at four
o'clock in the morning in thick haze
speed and the La Seyne was cut al
most in half. The majority of those
on board were caught in their berths
and carried down with the vessel
The force of the collision brought
the Onda to almost a dead stop and
her engines were at once slowed and
boats lowered. The rescue work
| proved thrilling, for not only were the
| rescuing parties impeded by the DARK,
but schools of sharks were already at
| tacking those clinging to pieces OF
wreckage in the water. Sixty-one per-
l
finally dragged into the boats and
brought by the Onda to this port
| Many of them had been bitten by
sharks and several are severely in
| jured.

TRAMPS AND RAILWAYS.
Some Interesting Statistics That Are
Enlightening.

There were fewer railway casual
ties in the United States during last
April, May and June, according to the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
than in any previous three months Of
which there is record. The killed pas
sengers and employees together were
80, and the injured, 2,116. The fig
ures show by comparison that railway
travel grows safer in this country.
This does not include casualties suf-
fered by trespassers, chiefly tramps.
Formerly, one tramp day was killed
on the Pennsylvania Railroad. This
average has now increased to two a
day, the number so killed in 1907 be-
ing 915.
The railway track continues to be
the favorite highway of the tramp.
Large as is their number, they are
few compared with the army of travel
ers and railroad employees, yet more
tramps are killed on the railroad
year than passengers and employees
together. Railroad travelling and rail
road employment is getting steadil.
safer, but with the increase in tn,
railroad business, it becomes more an,
more dangerous and deadly for TIL
tramp.

PRIMITIVE BAPTISTS WIN.
Long-fought Litigation for Possession
of Church is Settled.

Luray, Va, Nov. 12.-The celebrated
church case, which has been in the
courts of this county for some time
to ascertain who are the rightful own
ers of the Broad Street Baptist church,
Luray, has just been decided in favor
of the Primitive Baptist side. Judge
Haas rendered the decision in vaca-
ton at Harrisonburg yesterday.
The case originated from certain
scriptural interpretations, the Primi,
tive Baptist side contending there was
no authority for Sunday schools OF
the use of musical instruments il
church worship, while the other sid
demanded them. The case will estab
| lish a precedent for number of sim
| liar cases throughout hte south.

DISMAL SWAMP DRY.
Long Drought Turns Marshes Into
Dust.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 14.-Forest fires,
which have been burning in Eastern
Virginia for ten days, have swept over
thousands of acres of land, complete
ly depicting large sections of all un-
dergrowth. and even destroying tim
ber.
Not within the memory of old men
hsa there been so little water. in the
swamps and low places as there is at
this time. Swamps which have been
under water almost continuously for
year are now as dry as powder. Muck
has turned into dust.
Especially is this true of the Dis
nal Swamp. There is now but little
water in that almost impenetrable
| fastness of nature, save in Lake
Drummond, and the water there Is
lower than it has been for years. In
sections of the swamp, where water Is
usually from one to three feet deep
there is dry ground.

THE SEABOARD RAILROAD.
The Directors Will Meet {. New York
to Complete Organization.

The reorganization of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway, which will soon be
complete, is one of the most gratifying
facts in the recent history of the rail-
road world.
A meeting of the stockholders was
held at Richmond on Thursday, at
which all the stock was represented
in person or by proxy.
It is announced that all Of the nine
teen old directors were reelected,
while a twentieth was added in the
person of H. C. Perkins, of Washing
ton, D. c., who is said to be warm
personal friend of John Shelton Will
liams.
Sometime within the near future the
directors will meet in New York city
to complete organization and to elect
president. The chances are that
John Shelton Williams will be chosen
as president.
His election would give general sat
isfaction to the people of the South
He has given the best years of his life
to the development of the Seaboaro,
and the sympathy of this entire sec
ton of the country went out to him
when it became necessary to place the
read in the hands of a receiver. He
is the natural and logical head of the
reorganized Seaboard.
The reviving fortunes of the road
itself is a source of qualification to
our people, and we trust that many
prosperous years now lie before it.

DR.. STILES IN GOLDSBORO.
Recent Reports of Specialists Prove
HOOkwOrm to Be NOn-SectiOnal.,

The marvellous progress along all
lines of Industrial and intellectual
possibilities the South has made in
the years that intervene since she rose
from the sackcloth and ashes of war,
should of itself prove that though the
lazy-worm may prevail among US, it
has not dwarfed our energies nor cur
tailed our achievements:
And the hookworm has been discov-
cred in the North in even greater pro-
portions than in the South.
Such is the opinion of an expert
who has made careful examination
Of conditions in both sections of the
country.
We have never felt entirely satisfied
with the charge that this parasite of
laziness was supremely conspicuous in
this section of the country, and now
to vindicate us.
Mr.. Rockefeller, in face of these
facts, may feel called upon to, revise
his donation of a million dollars. It
seems that it should have been dis
tributed at least equally between the
| North and the South.
| Perhaps, rather than he an Indian
giver, he will rise to the occasion by
contributing another million to be de-
voted exclusively to the eradication OF
| the hookworm in the North.
The tide of industrial and economi-
cal supremacy is setting in so strong
| ly in this direction-the cotton mills
for instance, are coming to the fields
from the barren hills of New Eng
land, so rapidly-that it does not seer
probable that the hookworm has sap
ped our vitality to any greater extern
than has been done in the East, an,
so the answer must be that the hook
worm is prevalent in the East as wei
as in the South.
But all this is somewhat of diver
sion from what we started out to an
nounce, and that is, that DR.. Stiles will
deliver two lectures in this city thi
week on the hookworm; one in th
Messenger Opera House Friday nigh
, and one in the Woman's Club Satur
day.

THE RIGHT SORT OF MAN.
Here Is a Lesson for Local Kindred
Spirits to Con and Practise.

Says the Chicago Post:
Eve know man who has already
bought two Christmas presents"
Do you, indeed? Good for him. He
is an optimist-a real, genuine optim-
ist. We are willing to wager a good
cigar on that. Only persons of tenn
peramental poise and altruistic dispo
tions are given to that sort Of thing
and they are all apostles of hope and
good cheer and sunshine, moreover.
Aside from the fact that the early
Christmas shopper catches the guar
anteed bargains and likewise avoids
the rush, we think we see in him a
kindly disposition and a benevolent in
clination to take time by the forelock
both wisely and we'll in all good
causes. Christmas and it's sentimen-
tai obligations early get on his mind
and his enthusiasm must find release
through some sort of safety valve, or
he is most uncomfortable. if not ac-
tually unhappy. Wherefore, he HES
him forth while mercantile fields are
fresh and green and browses in peace
and quiet while yet the pickings are
all of tidbit persuasion and there is
no hurry. He smiles approvingly to
himself as he wanders through masses
of ties, and purses, and books, and
trinkets, here and there-mayhaI
through socks galore and cigars OF
doubtful lineage, too-and as at hiE
leisure he picks this or that for par
ent, brother, sister, friend, or Office
boy, he pats himself upon the bacl
and feels within himself the rapture
of high resolve never to put off unit
tomorrow that which he may do today
especially if it is something benig1
and kindly and conceived in sincerit.

GRANDFIELD NAMED
New Postmaster for Wash
ingtOn, D. c. is
Appointed.
General Hitchcock Saws
He Wishes to Make the National
Capitals P0StOffice Pre-emi-
ncnt in United States,

Washington, D. c., Nov. 14.-Post-
master General Hitchcock announced
yesterday that Charles P. Grandfield.
the First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral, had been appointed postmaster
of Washington to succeed Benjamin F.
Barnes, who died last month.
Mr.. Hitchcock explained, in connec
ton with his announcement, that Mr.
Grandfield had been selected for the
local postmastership in order to carrS
out certain ideas of the Postmaster
General. He said that it was his de-
sire to make Washington the model
postoff1ce of the United States, which
would serve as school of instruction
for postmasters throughout the coun-
try, and an incentive to them to i'm
prove conditions.
Mr.. Grandf1eld entered the service
of the government twenty-five years
ago as a postal clerk, and was Mr..
Hitchcock's right-hand man when the
latter was First Assistant Postmaster
General. He succeeded Mr.. Hitchcock
in that Office when Mr.. Hitchcock be-
came manager of the Taft pre-conven-
tion campaign.
According to Mr.. Hitchcock, Mr..
| Grandfield is familiar with the entire
subject of postal administration, un-
derstands Mr.. Hitchcocks ideas thor
oughly, and is better fitted, perhaps,
to make the Washington postoff1ce a
model for the rest of the country than
any other man.
The retirement of Mr.. Grandfield
from the Office of First Assistant Post
master General, following the resig-
ton of Third Assistant Postmaster
General A. L. Lawshe, is preliminary
to a pretty general reorganization OF
the administration of the Postoffice
Department. 1t is expected that the
other high administrative officers OF
the Postoffice Department will retire
soon, to make room for new men.
