influence on Divorces.


thing as divorce. In South Carolina W.
do not believe in the modern idea 81
prevalent in this day OF permitting 9
man to marry a woman in her youth and
beauty, and then, when her face becomes
shrunken and her eyes dim, to search out
among his woman acquaintances some
young and buxom girl who suits his lust
full eve, and straightway sets to work
systematically to force his old wife tc
seek divorce.
ut appears to me that the relation be-
tween votes for women and divorce, II not
one of cause and enect, IS az least one OF
mutual acceleration.
.The Generalization and consequent
degradation produced by the divorce evil
are illustrated by the notorious Dlggs-
Caminetti affair in California. The ease
with which divorces are OBTAINED IN fteno
led to that place being selected as the
one to carry the two respectable girls
from Sacramento, and the promise to
marry these women after divorces were
obtained no doubt had much to do with
overcoming their scruples; Such a
tragedy in domestic life could not happen
anywhere in the south. even In those
states where divorces are obtained.
Shoot Them Like Dogs.
I'VE have bad women in South Caro-
lima and throughout the south. But the
habits of our people an their customs,
inherited from our forefathers, make it
dangerous to monkey with mems wom-
enkind.' Some northern people call US
ba rbarians. If the California men had
orr customs Diggs and Caminetti would
not be alive now. because they would
have been shot like dogs, and the fathers
Of the girls they have ruined would be
acquitted almost without the jury leav-
ing the box.
aThe unwritten law is the best law to
protect women's virtue that have heard
Of The more I think about the Diggs-
Caminetti case the more outraged grow
at the state Of morals and society which
not only permits such crimes. but en-
courages them. I am too much of q saw
age myself to think upon such things
with calmness.
"Among our very rich people In Amer
lea degeneration has gone so far that
The women are just as bad as the men,"
Senator Tillman said that he was
afraid that the weakness Of politicians
and the pressure which Is being brought
to bear upon them might result in the
granting Of equal suffrage, but he issued
a solemn warning against 1t.
Seeks to Reprint Article.
When Senator Tillman concluded his
speech, Senator Overman of North Caro-
lima said that his state was mot one Of
those which permitted a large number of
causes for divorces. but that all causes
for divorce, except two, which were for
merly permitted in North Carolina, had
been eliminated from the law.

nation which he had made regarding DIR.

adopted.

country, sadly think, II I do not say,
America, thy race is almost run unless
something is done to check thy headlong
speed" declared Senator Tillman OF
South Carolina in the Senate today. while
discussing the woman suffrage question
Senator T1llman announced himself as
strongly opposed to granting the ballot
to women. He advised the collection OF
data which would show whether the
granting Of equal suffrage has had any
bearing on the large number Of divorces
granted in some Of the states. also
whether 1t has affected the birth rate.
His speech was delivered in explanation
Of his action, first In inserting IN the
Congressional Record 1.-THE Mission OF
Women by the late DR.. Alfred Taylor
Bledsoe, and second his withdrawal OF
this article from the Record. He declared
that when he placed 1t in the Record he
did not know that 1t criticised in any
way the women Of the north, and that
when senator's had called his attention tc
this he had promptly asked it be ex-
plunged from the Record.

BALES MUST BE UNIFORM
Cotton Association Adopts Rules
Governing Size of Bales

According to rules adopted by
the Arkansas Cotton Association,
bales of cotton weighing less than
800 pounds are understandable,
and bales weighing less than 400
pounds are subject to a penalty of
81. Bales weighing more than $50
pounds are understandable, and
are subject to rejection. The stand
ard size for bales is 27x54 inches
and bales of a larger size are SUBJ
ject to a penalty of 81. All bales
are supposed to be as near the uni
form weight of 500 pounds as GIN
ners can make them and are not
supposed to vary more than five
per cent from this weight. This
ruling is made in order to facilitate
the handling and storing of cotton,
and all ginners should observe
these rules as closely as possible.

HERE IS APUzZLE
In RELATIONSHIP
A Case of Inter-Marrying That
Results i'm Some Rather
Peculiar kinfolkS

If you are good at solving rela-
tionship problems, here's one that
will interest you and keep you
busy for some time.
P. H. Hulsey of this place and
Mrs. James Laster of Huntington
are cousins that is, they were
cousins, long time ago, when they
were mere boy and girl, for their
mothers were sisters. But the
march of Father Time brings
about many changes, and if there
is person who can tell what re-
lation their children are, let him
come forth with the information,
for it would be interesting to
know just what kin they are.
But let us give you the facts as
they were given Journal man a
few days ago by Uncle Rufus
Reeves of Oil Trough, who is
worse than a kid to ask questions
that cannot be answered.
Porter and Katie were cousins.
Porter's mother died and Katie's
father died, and in the course of
events, Porter's father married
katie's mother, who was his first
wife's sister. So Porter and Katie
grew up bearing the double rela-
tionship of step-brother and sister.
Time passed on and Katie married
man named Morris, who died
and she afterwards married her
present husband, Jimmie Laster.
In the meantime Porter married
Morris's sister, thus becoming a
brother-in-law, STEP brother and
cousin. Now, the question is, what
is the relationship between Por-
ter's and Katie's children?
