WOMEN DENIED BALLOT

Although the deaeens recommend
I'd acceptance OF the pastors resig-
patton and payment Of his salary
through the month Of August. the
congregation Of Leigh Street Baptist
church on Sunday rejected their re-
port by a close vote and adopted
resolutions urging Rev. Br. watson
3. Dorset to reconsider his resigna-
ton rendered the preceding Sunday.
Discussion Of the matter was rather
animated at times ana not until the
vote of the congregation was taken
was IL certain as to how the majority
stood.
Women OF the congregation were
not allowed to participate in either
nsa discussion or the baIloting. al
though some OF them made an effort
70 do so. Not few of the women
believed 1t was their inherent right
70 participate in the matter and they
were clearly chagrined when Mr.. Rob-
eft e. Wfnfree, roll clerk, produced a
copy OF the old Richmond State Of
Afteen years ago. showing that wo-
men were ruled out on one occasion
Then and the same rule was held to
apply Mt the present time.

Resignation Surprising.
II will be recalled that DIR. Dorset's
Resignation came as a great surprise
10 many in his congregation, espe-
cially in view OF the fact that the

DIR. Dorset came here three years
ago from Huntsville. s. c.. and It is
likely that he will return to his old

SUBURBAN FANS PULL
FOR COCkADE CITY
Sentiment is for Jack Grim Who
viii Take His Team to
Petersburg.

South Richmonders are deeply In
terested in the proposition to place
the Portsmouth franchise in Peters
burg. The street car officials in Wash
ington Ward are also very much agt-
tated over the prospect, and 1t Is said
they have offered all kinds of induce
ments to Jack Grim, the new owner
of the franchise.
There Will be more than three hun
dred people 10 witness every game
played between Richmond and Peters
burg in Petersburg. Strange as 1t
may seem, too. there are many who
live in upper Manchester and in
Swansboro, who hope that the Cock
ade City will land the pennant.
Swansboro folk have never felt very
great love for Richmond, and when
Petersburg steps into the lffnelight
they want to see the team from there
win every game.
From a business standpoint for the
interurban line the transfers OF the
franchise is one of the greatest things
that has happened for the street car
