JAIL WON'T Be SOLD,
COUNTY BOARD DESIDES TO IAf.
PROVE PRESENT QUARTERS.
LCwness OF Bids Submitted Results in
Their Agreeing to Keep Present jail
Property and Spend Money I'm.
proving It-NO Other Business of
Importance Transacted.

AT a regular meeting Of the Coun.
" board OF Commissioners, held yes
terday with all members present ex-
cept w. b. Cooper, who is confined to
MS nome by sickness, it was decided
not TO sell the present site and quart
ers OF the county Jail, but instead to
spend as much as was reasonably nec-
essary for improving the premises.
This decision came after the bids SUBJ
mitted on the present Jail propertv.
IN answer to advertisements for its
sale, had been opened. None of these
bids were anywhere near what the
commissioners thought was d fair
price for the property, and hence, al
ter a discussion of the matter, the
board came to the conclusion that il
would be better to keep the property.
Further than this decision, however,
no definite plans as to the extent of
the improvements were formulated
AT the last session the legislature
q resolution was passed, permitting
sumter County to borrow $4,000 for
the county's ordinary expenses, but
the members of the board generally
agree that this money should be used
principally for Jail improvements and
hence the probability Of it's being ex.
pended in this manner.
AT the meeting held yesterday no
business of Importance, other than
that mentioned above, was attended
to.

SUFFRAGE1TES INDIGNANT.
SUFFRAGIST LEADERS COMPRO-
MISE WITH OPPONENTS.
Head Of Organization Criticises Viii.
son for Not Urging Subject in His
Message.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Fear of bring
ing on revolt that might give Amer
lea militant suffragist organization
today caused leaders in the National
American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton to abandon their efforts to have
adopted by the convention a new con-
stitution reported by revision com
mittee appointed a year ago. Advo-
Gates for rights for State associations
and opponents of the proposed budget
system for raising the national organ
ization's funds, emphatcally declined
to accept the recommendations and
finally the draft was referred back
to the committee with instructions
that n compromise be prepared.
Todays sessions were devoted to
discussion Of the proposed revision of
the constitution. The question was
debated for nearly six hours without
bitterness or personalities, and the
contest finally resulted in a draw.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, president
OF the association, created q sensa-
ton at tonight's session when she de-
clared that President Wilson had fall
en- short of the greatest opportunity
he ever had or ever would have in
falling to say word in behalf of wo-
man suffrage today when he read his
annual message to congress- Her re-
marks provoR ID loud and prolonged
applause.
DR.. Shaw said she hoped the pres
ident would arise to the occasion, but
that while he had recognized the
necessity for the extension Of the bal
lot to the Filipinos and urged terri
torial rights for Alaska, he had failed
to mention woman suffrage in his
message.
When DR.. Shaw concluded the con-
vention, amid enthusiastic cheering,
adopted by reclamation the following
resolution introduced by DR.. j. Will
liam Funk Of Baltimore.
Resolved, That in the sense of this
meeting that President Wilson failed
to rise to the sublimest heights of
democracy when he failed il. his mes
sage to congress today to recommend
the freedom of half the citizens Of the
United States and probably half the
citizens Of the civilized world"
Efforts to get some expression of
opinion from President Wilson on the
suffrage question may be made before
the convention ends next Friday.
Women and Children and the
Courts was the general topic on
which the '.ddresses tonight dealt.
Mrs. Joseph Il. Bowen and Chief JUS
tice Harry Olsen Of Chicago, and
Miss Maude Miner Of New York were
the speakers.
The delegates tonight were looking
forward with eager anticipation to
the hearing they are to be given to-
morrow before the house rules COM
mittee on the proposal to create a
woman suffrage committee in the
house, similar to that In the senate.
