militant wing of the women's party.
headed by Mrs. Emmeiine Pank-
hurst. and her daughter. Christable
Pankhurst. declare that 1t is very
probable that one OF the most violent
demonstrations yet seen may take
place March 4.
Guarantees must be given before
that time, the women say, or thous-
andg OF women win march through
the streets " the city smashing gov
eminent property and assaulting gov
eminent officials.
With a national strike, which may
etagnate the United Kingdom facing
the country, the government has little
time on its hands to deal with the
question of universal suffrage, but
the women are insisting upon def
mite and immediate answer.
I'VE must know at once" declared
Mrs Pankhurst today. We are tir-
ed OF being put on from time TO time.
Now is the opportune moment to set
tie the question Although Lloyd
George made promises, we mistrust
the members OF the government. Tia
women who shouted traitor when
Lloyd George was speaking, were
right, for they knew what they were

that its emasculation at the hands or

as TO the temper of the people.
Apportjon School Fund.
BY the terms of bin which passed
the House Saturday evening the old
way Of apportioning school funds Is
again adopted in order to relieve the
pressure upon the State treasury every
fall. Under the bill passed as soon
as the Auditor OF Public Accounts re-
ceives the distributive statement from
the Safe Board Of Education he shall
issue his warrant upon the treasurer
of the State in favor OF each division
superintendent Of schools for the
amount each city or county is en-
titled to receive under such statement.
which warrant. when endorsed by the
division superintendent to the treas
urer OF the county or city. as pro-
vided by the following section, shall
he paid by the Treasurer OF the State.
or shall be accepted from such county
or city treasurer as cash in all Set
Elements for public revenue made by
him with the Auditor. as far as paid
by the warrants provided for In sec
ton 1909 Of this chapter.
Under the present law the State
Sc ds cash to operate the schools and
awaits the remittances from the coun-
~ and city treasurers to replace such
cash. This plan has, of course. OPP
Grated to the advantage of the school
teachers in that they have received
their pay more promptly. However.
with proper business management on
the part of the local officials there
should be no cause for delay under
the new plan and the operation will
greatly relieve the finances Of the
State.

MAY VOTE TODAY
ON LIME BILL

The lime bill situation in the House
Is unique.
1t is three-sided in its aspect, not
wtthstaniing the attempts which have
been made to get all of the friends
Of the policy behind the Senate sub
stitute bill. ~
There are members who oppose the
measure In toto. although they are not
numerous. Then there are those who
favor the House bill as originally re-
ported out of the House Finance Com
mittee. And then there is the House
majority, which Is now getting anx-
ieus to get the talk-fest over with and
some lime bill adopted.
The measure occupied all OF the
first sessions on Friday and saturday.
and Ii Is quite certain that the meas
ure in an amended form will pass the
House today.
Under an amendment which was In
troduced Saturday by Mr.. Throckmor-
ton the bin now has the following
title A bill, to provide for the work
Ing Of certain long terms or desperate
convicts by the superintendent OF the
penite ntiary, the Governor and the
Commissioner OF Agriculture. for the
manufacture Of ground limestone and
oyster shells. and incidentally for the
disposition OF the same and the by
products suitable for road construc-
ton, 20 the citizens Of the State;
The House measure made the board
to consist Of the first two officials
named and the Secretary OF the state
Board OF Charities. The officials named
are to constitute a board to be known
az the convict lime board.
Provides for Upkeep.
Another amendment to the measure
introduced by Mr.. Throckmorton re-
auires that 10 per cent. shall be
charged to cover the wear and tear
on the machinery used, the cost Of
the rocks ans. shells ard the nPkecp
Of the plants.
Another amendment REQUIRES that
each bag shall be tagged with card
setting out an analysis Of the prod
uct. and that the product shall In all
respects comply with the requirements
made upon the manufacturers Of lime.
In arguin~ the question OF the con-
stituttonality of the measure on Sat
urday. Mr.. Lunsford. Of Botetourt, de-
clared that the State was embarking
upon business In competition with
Its citizens. and he declared. too. that
the state could not manufacture the
product as cheaply as private parties.
