EQUAL SUFFRAGE REJECTED,
BILL GIVING WOMEN RIGHT TO
VOTE Is DEFEATED BY COM
MONS.
Fifty Irish NatiOnaliSts Cast Ballots
Against Measure and Insure It's
Defeat--The Leading Supporters of
Bill.

London, May 6.-The fate of the
women's suffrage bill was sealed to.
night by the votes Of more than sc
Irish Nationalists, who voted agains,
1t. The bill. whereby it was sought
to enfranchise six million women, was
rejected by q majority Of Al; the vote
stood 266 to 2l9.
whether there Is any chance that
the present parliament will pass bill
OF more limited character may be
doubted. Possibly the Nationalists feai
that If they allow a women's fran
chise bill to pass the second reading
1t will lead to parliamentary struggle
which would not unlikely end in dis.
solution Of parliament before the
home rule bill becomes law. Fur
thermore. the debate today proved
that the militant policy of the suffra-
gists has done the cause great harm
as far as parliament Is concerned. The
Cancellation bill of last session was re-
jected by only a small majority com
pared with the Dickinson bill under
discussion today. Previous bills CIV
Ing some measure of enfranchisement
to women have passed the second
reading. although they never survived d
subsequent stages.
Recent police disclosures of acts of
incendiarism planned by the mill
tants far surprising in magnitude
anything heretofore attempted and
the burning Of st. GATHERINGS church
at Hatcham today undoubtedly in
huenced many members to vote
against the bill.
Announcement Of the result of the
vote was greeted by cheers from all
sides Of the house.
The debate which. on Monday, pre-
ceded an extraordinary apathy, was
today characterized by intensity and
brilliant speeches. The house was
crowded and peryaded with an at
mosphere of electrical excitement.
The strangers galleries were pack
ed and many anxious faces peered
from behind the grill-guarded gallery
devoted to women.
Neither Andrew Bonar Law, leader
OF the opposition. nor A. ]. Balfour
voted in the division. Among the
ministers who voted against the bill
were Premier Asquith, Reginald Nc
kenna, Lewis Harcourt, j. Z. b.
Seely, Winston Spencer Churchill and
c. T. Hobhouse.
Supporters Of the bill included Sir
Edward Gray. David Lloyd George,
Rufus lsaacs, Augustine Birrell. Sid
ney Buxton, c. +. G. Masterman, Sir
j. A. Simon and +. d. Acland.

Question.

the new birth on last Friday even
Ing by serving ice cream and salad
on the school lawn. from the sale Of
which quite a nice sum was realized.
Late In the evening addresses were
made by Miss Mary Lennon and
Prof. w. X. Tate. Prof. Tate In his
lecture did not hesitate to call atten-
tion to improvements which should
be undertaken at once. and there is
no doubt but that this necessary step
will be taken to carry out his sug-
gestions.
The writer. along with others, re-
gretted to learn last week that a pc
t:ion was being circulated to order
an election on the dispensary again.
One was oper. ed in Eastover last week
and on Saturday a negro from above
here was killed by the train at Acton.
Just beyond the river with two quarts
of liquor In his pockets. On Sunday
morning after services at one of
our churches here another one was
seen that could not walk In the center
OF the public road. and then on Satur-
day night two young white boys were
locked up at Eastover. This is Just
a sample Of what We might expect in
this county.
1 can't believe though that enough
citizens or voters in Sumter county
have changed their opinion as to the
evil effect and influences Of the pub
lie sale of whiskey In our county seat
and believing this with organized Of.
Tort on the part Of those opposed to
the sale Of liquor for revenue or other
wise. I believe 1t will be defeated by
even a larger majority than before.

MINE SNAPPER"
Killed In Accident Proves Heir to
100000.

John Menaback, a German, 20 years
old, was killed in the Mariana Mirfes
near Washington, Pa, where he was
employed as a snapper, one of the
humblest jobs in the colliery.
Coroner James Heffran, in making
his investigation, looked through the
dead mans effects and found official
documents which showed that Men
abeck was sole heir to a fortune of
100000 in Germany, which was to
have been transferred to him next
month. Efforts are being made to get
trace of friends of the dead man in
Germany.
Menabeck had recently come to the
Mariana mines from West Virginia.
He was quiet man who made few
friends, and he told no one anything
about himself. He was frugal in his
mode of life and seemed to be saving
what little money he could. He had
never said anything to Indicate that
he expected to return to his native
land in he near future.
He was doing his work in the mines
and was running ahead of a motor and
changing switches AS he ATTEMPTED
to board the moving motor he slipped
and fell and was ground to death.

WANTS DAlRYMEN.
Y. s. Will Establish creameries on Ir-
rigation Prospects.

The establishment of creameries on
several irrigation projects of the Gov
eminent during the past two years has
proven SO successful that there is
widespread interest in dairying among
the settlers. Unfortunately many of
the settlers are without the necces-
sary capital to purchase good dairy
stock and for the time being are fore
ed to continue the uneconomic method
of selling all their forage crops. A
large number of these settlers are try
ing to operate more land than their
means will permit, and with view Of
engaging in dairying are DESTROYS of
subdividing their farms in order to get
money for the purchase of stock. This
has placed on the market a consider
able area of land on several projects
where nearly all of the Government
land has been taken up. The prices
and terms offered are more on the
basis of the need for money than on
actual value, and offer excellent OPP
portunities for experienced dairymen
to establish themselves in communi-
ties where the success of their enter
prise is practically assured. There are

On all these projects the markets for

TELEeRAPHIc cRoP NEws
Service to Be Extended To All The
States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1O.-As
a result of requests from editors and
editorial associations in many. States,
the u. S. Department of Agriculture
has announced that the November
crop reports of each State will be sup
piled to the newspapers in all States
through the Central Weather Station
located in each of the States.
This is an extension of the expert
ment of telegraphing the State crop
returns to the Central Weather Sta
tions in each of nine States, and hav
ing these kilograms duplicated at
once and mailed to the newspapers
and agricultural publications. Under
this plan newspapers in 80 additional
States will now receive full details of
the State crops far more quickly than
would be possible if these State crop
details were put in the mails in Wash
ington and had to travel by train long
distances to the more remote States.
Under this plan the general sum-
mary of the crops for the United
States will, as heretofore, be issued in
Washington for telegraphic distribu-
ton. 1t has been found, however, that
the conditions of crops within their
particular States are of especial value
to the farmers and producers, to whom
the conditions in their own State are
important in the marketing of their
produce.
Under this plan the Department
sends one telegram to the Central
Weather Bureau in each State, and
within a few, minutes after the crop
figures for the State are completed in
Washington the Weather Bureau is en-
abled to mail copies of the figures
from a central point within the State
to all papers in that State.
Under the code system used, the
Department is under the necessity Of
elegraphing only figures of previous
crops for comparison are cupplied to
each Weather Bpreau Station by mail.
The cost of the telegraphing for each
States does not exceed rs cents.
The crop data thus circulated by
mail to the newspapers will give: (a)
full list of the crops; (bC the aver
age condition of each crop for ten
year periods In that particular State;
(c) the condition of the State crops
for November 9th. In the adjoining
column will be given the same data
for the United States, 50 that the far
mers who read these notices can COM
pare the crops in their State as of No
vember 9th with the ten-year aver
ages of their own State, and in the
same way with the average condition
throughout the United States on No
vember 9th and for ten years.
These State crop reports are not
supplied to individuals, and are mailed
only to editors of regular publications.
The November State reports for the 80
States newly added to the list will be
sent only to the daily papers, the
county-seat papers, and agricultural
publications. Meanwhile, the Depart
ment is preparing lists of small-town
weeklies, and in December the crop
reports will be sent also to the small
er papers.
