SUFFRAGE BILL
BEFORE COMMONS
Critical Stage Reached in
British Parliament

London, Jan. 24.-The critical stage
was reached this afternoon in the 45
years struggle to obtain votes for
women, started in the house of COM
mons by John Stuart Mill in 1867.
Alfred Littletno, Immediately af-
ter question time" moved the
amendment to eliminate the word
male" from the franchise reform
bill.
His arguments were along familiar
lines, urging that the trend of recent
legislation was to call women into the
counsels of the nation.
Lewis Harcourt, secretary of state
for the colonies, who had not forgot.
ten the attempt made some months
ago by suffragettes to burn down his
ancestral home at Nune Park, bitter
ly assailed woman's suffrage and his
colleagues in the cabinet, especially
Sir Edward Gray and David Lloyd
George.
The adoption of methods of vio-
lence," he urged, lis an indication OF
the type of mental balance we may

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.

l hereby announce myself candi-
date for Sheriff of Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of w. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ga, will be my
deputy.
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested us to add
third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the Jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration, we have decided that Sum-
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the Jail and prisoners i'm
portant enough for some one to be on
duty there all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr.. j.
B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.
Advt. G. S. GARDNER.
