kniohthood For Women,


It is not at all we'll known that
knighthood has constantly been con-
ferred upon women. Many English
ladies' received the accolade. and many
more were members Of such knightly
orders as the Garter and St John.
When Mary Cholmondeley. 1.-The bold
lady of Cheshire" was knighted by
Eliza beth for her valiant address"
on the queen taking command at the
threatened invasion by Spain. did she
know that q whole city Of Spanish wo-
men, the gallant women Of Tortosa,
had been knighted for saving that city
from the Moors? Mary and Elizabeth
had both been knighted at their coro-
nation, but by the time Anne. the
second Mary and Victoria ascended
the throne it had been quite forgotten
that, according to English law and
use, a woman who filed a mans Office
acquired all its privileges and was i'm.

Changes After Long Absence.

Mr.. G.. B. Sondley, who Is native Of
Abbeville and who. more than 40 years
ago, was typesetter on The Press and
Banner, spent several days last week vis-
iting boyhood scenes in and around Able
vile. This Is the first visit Mr.. Sondley
has made to his old home in 12 years, and
he was struck with the progress which has
come in that time He spoke especially Of
the public buildings, saying that Abbevile
was as well equipped in this line as many
towns much larger, and that the commun-
ity should feel especially proud OF these
splendid structures.
Mr.. Sondley left Abbeville in 1876 to en-
ter the railroad service, and has been quite
successful, being now secretary and treas
urer and organizer for the Order Of Rail
way Conductors, with headquarters in

that DR.. Robinson, president Of the female
college, who is at present engaged in field
work for the institution, reports that he Is
expecting the largest attendance in the
history OF the college when the doors are
thrown open. DR.. Robinson writes that his
efforts in behalf Of the college have every
where met with ready response on the
part Of the people, and he, is sure that dor.
mitory room will be taxed this fall, all of
which is very gratifying to the. many
friends and former students OF the twin
colleges In Abbeville.

lima, hailing from Mecklenburg, where the

posed to have been promulgated, and he is
