The following communication was
written by one of our lady readers
in Harnett county:
Mr.. Editor: The Caucasian has
been welcome visitor at our home
ten months or more. We like it bet
ter than any other newspaper. I
think every issue gets better. I like
to read the interesting letters writ
ten by The Caucasian family, also
the general news. l will tell you how
it came about that we are taking
your most excellent paper. In 1910
We were taking Democratic paper.
1t was printed at Fayetteville I
guess every one remembers what a
time they had over the nomination
of Goodwin and Clark what hard
things were said about Mr.. Goodwin.
They seemed to think he wasn't fit
for anything. But after he got the
nomination, what did they say then?
They were all Goodwin men. What
was the next step? They turned on
Mr.. Butler and the Republicans.
Every reading man and woman will
remember what was said. I became
disguised with the paper and said I
would be so glad when our time was
out, for 1t was 80 sacreligious 1t made
me nervous to read it.
What We wanted was a paper to
give the news. We were taking re-
ligious and farm papers, also maya
zines, but they didn't give the gen.
eral news. One day I happened to
come across The Caucasian. I liked
1t so well got after my husband to
subscribe for the paper He said he
was taking more papers than he
could read and 1t was useless to
spend money for papers when he
couldn't read them. I said to him,
Il wish you would stop that Fay
ettevilfe paper" He said his time
was out on that paper and wished ]
would write and tell them to stop It.
OF course I was anxious to do so,
and I wrote to another editor in
these words, Enclosed will find
$1.00, for which send me The eau
casion one year."
I saw In one OF my MAGAZINES
that lady said she wanted the day
to come when the ladies could vote
same as the men. I disagree with
that lady on voting. What would be
the good of woman voting IL they
voted the same as the men? The
men have been voting for how long
and you have only to look around
You and see what job they have
made OF the privilege. I would not
want to vote for political boss that

other job that would make woman .
