OPPOSED TO WOMAN SUFFRAGE

OPPOSED TO WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Rev. G. w. Gardner, editor of The
Greenwood Journal, who is bitterly
opposed to woman suffrage, finds
much to commend in the view of our
Georgia correspondent, who also
sees danger ahead IL women are al
lowed to vote. Both DR. Gardner and
Mr.. Twitty were former residents of
Lancaster and their friends in, both
town and county, will be interested
in this comment from recent issue
of DR.. Gardner's paper:-, ''
"Our friend, Mr.. John w Twitty
of Valdosta, Ca, writes The Lancas-
ter News a letter from which we
clip the following:
"A large class of women through
out the country persist in urging le-
gal claim to vote. Itmeans Ito some
eXtenD that they want to carry pis-
tolls, chew tobacco, smoke cigarettes,
drink liquor, use "cuss" words and
kill somebody. Let our good sisters
show a lively hand against woman
suffrage. 1t is no place for a nice re-
fined lady among ruftians in poll

WI. WHY Is one Ol Jue pest Ileli
we know, an old time Methodist who
is in possession of that which enables
man to live right, and to think
right, hence we attach a great deal
of weight to his views. No doubt
about it this modern craze, led by a
few women who should have been
born men, is fraught with a great
many evils. MIR. Twitty was born
and reared in Lancaster county,
where he spent most of his life, and
so is we'll acquainted with the gal
lantry of the men of this state, and
knows the high regard in which wo-
men were held in the long ago, and
the modest, refined character of our
women, hence ii must be a great
surprise to him to learn of the Yam
kee ideas that have gotten possess
sion of some women in this state.
When the day comes that the moth
Crs of this country enter the politi-
cal arena. if that day ever comes,
il is going to be a mighty sad one,
and the ones who Will reap most of
the evils resulting from it will be
the good women, led bf a few
women who on account OF their
masculine ideas can not be said to
belong to the gentler sex, but are
misfits-neither women nor men.

said to be on the police force and

WHERE WILL 1T END?

Those who predicted that the war
in Europe would not be Of long dur
alton have doubtless changed their
minds by this time. 1t has been
nearly two months since the war be
gan, and yet no decisive battle has
been fought. The German army.
which has been on the offensive. has
fallen back but continues to occupy
French territory. Germany can pro
long the war for long time, if
necessary. by retreating into her
own territory where she can fight
oven better on the defensive than
she has on the offensive in her enc
mics territory. Germany will never
give up until she is in the last ex-
tremity.
The allies, on the other hand. have
mutually agreed that it is to be a
fight to the finish and none of
the high contracting powers" will
take int consideration any terms
t;lities without consulting the
others. We are inclined to think II
will be war OF long duration. Lord
Kitchener. speaking for England
says it may last three years. Wheth
er not it be so long as that, 1t viii
continue long enough to guarantee
peace in Europe after it is over 70
many years hence. 1t had to com
sooner or later, but as to when
will end is all a matter of specula
tion.

Mutually Dependent.

In the South, as well as in the
city Of Spartanburg, we are all in the
same boat this year, and in all years
for that matter. We may wilfully
attempt to injure the other fellow,
to be indifferent to his success, and
for small reasons do what we can to
injure him, but when his failure
comes all will suffer alike. Failure
in any line does not help anywhere.
If a merchant fails in Spartanburg
the reputation of the whole town
suffers as a place in which to live
and do business-no matter what
the cause. If one cotton mill fails
the whole Southern textile industry
suffers. 1t has to be explained. And
explanations are awkward at best.

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.


The Yorkville Enquirer, COM
menting on "a statement" of The
Anderson Maih> that arrangements
are being made looking to the pub
newspaper in Anderson" says, The
Anderson Intelligencer, up to about
year ago, was one of the most pop
ular country papers in the South.
1t looked for it's support mainly to
the rural population; but also had
numerous subscribers in the town
and the advertising patronage of
town business people who sought TO
reach rural readers. The paper also
sympathized with the politics of it's
subscribers and was an important
medium along that line. Wealthy
local business men conceived and
carried out the idea of purchasing
The Intelligencer and changing it's
politics to suit their own notions,
etc"
All of which is very interesting,
but we are not surprised at the re-
marks of The Yorkville Enquirer in
view of the fact that The Intelli-
genCer, a year or more ago, like The
Enquirer, was a Blease organ, edit
ed, if we mistake not, by one Victor
b. Cheshire, who was not only
Bleaseite, but a colonel on the gov
ernor's staff. The Yorkville Enquir-
er is right when it asserts that The
mtelligencer changed its politics. by
giving up Bleaseism and all that that
term implies. But vailed charges by
The Yorkville Enquirer that
wealthy local business men," took
over the paper for sinister purposes
is without foundation. 1t is rather
late in the day for The Yorkville En-
quirer to still endeavor to stir up
class prejudice. That kind of bust
ness was given severe rebuke in
the recent primaries. The Anderson
lntelligencer is now better paper
than ii has ever been since the time
when it was edited by that high type
OF gentleman, the lamented r. B.
Murray. No one, in reading its col
its editor, can fail to be impressed
with the fact that it seeks first of all
to advance along all lines the inter-
ests of My Town" of Anderson
terest, and then the interests of
South Carolina a new semi-weekly
may be started in Anderson, but is
the purpose of its promoters is TO
undermine The Anderson InteIli
gencer, as is suggested by the York
paper, they had better count the cost
before undertaking the venture.
Any paper which seeks to get pat
ronage by appealing to class preju-
dice will lose the respect and conf
dence of a large portion of the citi-
zenship OF its county as the Yorkville
paper knows by experience.
1t was only so late as last Sunday
that the esteemed Intelligencer. in
speaking of the disposition on the
part of some people TO keep alive the

girls and women during the spring
season. With the closing of the
gymnasium for the summer, the
board of directors decided to try the
experiment of a temporary summer
camp for girls who need rest and re-
taxation, but for varied reasons can
not enjoy a long or expensive vaca-
ton.
The experiment this year will be
tried out at the Garden of Allah. The
offer is open to any member of the
association. Groups of girls will go
to the camp for periods of ten days
each, and will be given all the priv
ileges of this delightful little gar
den spot, only a few hours ride from
the city. Camp privileges will be
open until October /, and will be
granted in order of application.
Camp existence in this instance
does not mean the usual "roughing
it" experience, which is often more
arduous than pleasant, for associ-
alton members are cared for in the
