Southern women look to Southern
men to give them the ballot" said
Mrs Mary L. MeLendon, president of
the Georgia Equal Suffrage Associa-
ton, yesterday.
we would rather be granted suf-
frage at the hands Of our own State
Legislatures than by means OF an
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. You see, being South
erners, we have our regard for the
doctrine of States rights.
But, of course, we want the ballot,
and falling its grant by the State, we
should look to the constitutional
amendment. the prospect of the pass
age of which through Congress is
bright"
1t Is this sentiment that is the es-
sence Of letter which has been sign
ed by leading suffragists IN the Diff
ferent Southern States, and sent to
each Southern Governor. Mrs. Mo
Lendon displayed the letter. of which
she is one Of the signers.
Ask Governors to Meeting.
I'VE are asking the Governors of
the Southern States 10 meet with as
in New Orleans, where a convention
Of the Suffrage Workers of the South
will be held November 10 and H."
The letter is:
My Dear Governor: The under
signed women of the Southern States,
on the part of the sufrragists of their
respective States, earnestly request the
Governors of the Southern States or
their Representatives, to meet them in
conference in New Orleans, November
10-11, to discuss and adopt g uniform
plan of action for the adoption of
woman suffrage in the South
I'VE are united In the belief that
suffrage is a State right and that the
power to define a States electorate
should remain in the executive right OF
the State. However, we recognize
that woman suffrage is no longer a
theory to be debated but condition
TO be met. The inevitable votes for
women Is a world movement, and I'M
less the South squarely faces the is
sue and takes steps to preserve the
State right the force of public opin-
ion will make 1t mandatory through
a National Constitutional Amend
nent.
Tn fact. the National Council OF
Voters, consisting of enfranchised
women has for its object the infiu-
encing of national legislation to Sc
cure the ballot for the women who
have not yet received it. While as
Southerners We wish to see the power
Of the State retained, yet as women
we are equally determined 10 secure
as Of paramount Importance the right

rugs, settees and chairs of a comfortable
ante-room. 1t might have been the pub
fishing office of a religious weekly.
The boy respectfully asked his name
and whom he wished to see. Argyle
handed him his card
Mr.. Kayton, he said. The boy opened

sit down. As Argyle sank on to a chair
the boy disappeared. In less than GO
seconds one Of the many doors opening
off the ante-room swung back and a mar
entered holding the card.
The room then looked more than ever

The newcomer was bareheaded. also bald

T pom day James Argyle was about
his usual hauuts. Upon au oven
ing he was at his home seemingly
hale and happy. Upon morning
he was found on a Persian rug 10y the
inlaid table Of his rich library. lying On
Uls side with one hand gripping the table
cover the bosom OF his evening shirt d
deep brick red, small hole one inch to
the left of the second stud, his glazed eyes
staring at the ceiling.
A chair nearby was overturned and
some distance away lay a revolver. It
was a plain murder.
The crime was discovered shortly after
Z o'clock in The morning and by the
evening papers were on the street with
columns of picturesque detail and theory.
For James Argyle was known from one
end Of Manhattan TO the other He was
also known in san Francisco ana other
places.
In the first place he was enormously
wealthy. He had built "a swell and not
very small place on a street in New York.

He was probably so years old though
he never discussed his age with any one.
He belonged to a few clubs and attended
only one. This was in later years For
merry he seemed fond Of the society Of
men. but in the few years preceding his
death he grew eccentric. He was likely
TO quarrel and for several months before
the terrible end he did quarrel with every

but the elder Mr., Tolworthy died and old
Mr. Argyle severed relations with the
firm and retained an obscure attorney
named James T. Hurley He quarreled
with his son almost constantly: so that
the young man, who had a decided bent
toward the artistic, rented a studio in
Twenty-third street, where he lived a
bachelors life He even began to find
fault with the old negro cook who had
been in his household for twenty years
ana for whose cooking he was wont to
leave the club at meal times after point
eddy insulting the management in his
criticisms of the club cuisine.
Much of this the newspapers learned
and the rest they guessed at. They also
guessed at a great deal more for the first
day or two until real facts began to spring
W that made guesswork unnecessary
There was one person intimately CON
nected with Mr. Argyle whom he treated
with unfailing love and respect She was
ms adopted daughter, Miss Mary Mazuret
about her the newspaper reporters could
learn little, excepting that she took the
place of natural daughter in the old
mans life What her real parentage was

they didn't see, and held up the police fol

RED AND BLACK
END TRAINING
GRIND TO-DAY

n THENS. GA, Oct. 31.-This
~ afternoon will close a week of
hard work on the part of the
University of Georgia football team
in preparation for the battle against
the University of North Carolina on
the local field tomorrow. This is
the last game of the year in Athens
and really the only big noise of the
season locally.
What kind of team the Tarheels
have and what will be their system
of attack is unknown to the Georgia
coaches. They have neglected to
send a scout into the enemy's terri
tory for any of the games this sea-
son and about all the information at
hand is the announcement which
comes generally from the Old North
State that the Eastern style of play
will be put into use. Whether Dog
gle" Trenchard and Tolbert Pendle-
ton can prove themselves better
teachers of football than the South
ern coaches. Cunningham and Ke-
iron, remains to be seen.
North Carolina is coming with no
boa sted stars of the McWhorter tyne,
but in Tayloe they have an end run
ner and a returner of punts that
ranks with any in the South. His
work in the game against V. p |.
was the sensation of the afternoon
and Georgia's ends have been coached
to "lay" for him. However, it's a
we'll rounded team that the Red and
Black has to face and a slump from
last weeks hard battle is liable TO put
crimp in the chances of the
Athenians.
