WOMEN ANXIOUS TO VOTE.
Make Few Mistakes in Registering
and Find Men Willing to Accord
Them Proper Courtesy.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Women citizens
of Chicago today turned out in full
strength to take advantage Of their
first opportunity to register as voters.
Perfect weather conditions favored a
large registration and estimates vary
at from 10000 and 100000.
Polling places were made clean and
attractive, flowers were not wanting
and, as a rule, except where the privi-
lege was urged upon them by their
women associates, the men election
officials refrained from smoking.
The requirements that women reg
istering must staif their ages, expect
ed to be q cause Of some awarkward-
ness. proved to have been overrated
as a stumbling block. Women gave
their ages nonchalantly and without
any particular effort to keep those in
earshot from hearing.
Mistakes of women were few. and,
in the opinion Of many of the judges
and clerks. they were no greater than
mistakes which have been made by
men on every registration day. Many
women OF advanced age registered,
several octogenarians being among
the number.
Two election officials, both a judge
and "a clerk in a first ward precinct
both men, were disqualified and SEN
fenced to GO days in Jail for leaving
the polling place for an extended
period.

Settlement of three important dam
age suits against the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad was made in Charleston
ing here for the purpose. The actions
caused the payment of 100000, the
railroads interests being looked at
ter by the law firm of Mordecai q
Gadsden & Rutledge.
In the interests of the plaintiffs in
the three cases these attorneys were
present: w. A. Holman, of Charleston;
E. j. Best, Of Columbia; r. C. Holman
of Barnwell; l.. X. Sturkie, OF or
angeburg; Bates & Simms, of Barn
well, and l.. ID. Jennings, of Sumter.

comotive engineer, was injured when
two engines sideswiped in Barnwell.
He secured q verdict of $4,000
against the Atlantic Coast Line in the
court Of Common Pleas. 1t is un-
derstood that this case was pending
before the United States COurt Of APP
peals and that Mr. Higgins made
some concessions in order to have it
withdrawn, the railroad being willing
to settle. The accident in which he
sustained injury occurred October Is,
1909.
j. A. Miller, Of Sumter, a locomo-
tive engineer, secured a verdict in the
Court of Common Pleas for $35, 900.
He was stepping off an engine at CO.
lumbia three years ago, it is said,

when it started, causing her to fall
violently. She brought action in the

Representative Buchanan, of Illi-

I'm looking over The Journal Of
Commerce for Monday, January &c.
1 note that 1t is stated a spinner tried
to secure 5000 bales of good mid
ding cotton in New York city, and
that this spinner was asked 1872 points
above the quotations of March cot
ton, which closed on that day at
1857 cents. According to my addi-
ton this cotton manufacturer was
forced to pay 14.4s cents per pound
tor March delivery for spinnable cot
ton, when the New York cotton ex-
change quoted middling cotton at
1851 cents for March delivery, and
their basis is that good middling cot
ton has value of 65 points over
middling. According to the New York
cotton exchange quot .tions this cot
ton should have been priced to the
spinner at 1922 cents. Now you can
see that the trading In actual bales
for good middling cotton for Mafch.
was on basis of 14.49 ceats, and
the theoretical trading engaged In
by the spectators was on basis OF
1922 cents. Now cotton manufac-
turers have to pay the price for good
cotton and make their cloth on that
basis. Yet when we go to New York
to sell cloth we always continually
have thrown in our faces the New
York cotton exchange prices, ana ac-
cording to this basis of figuring same
is 1.27 cents too low, or for a 500
pound bale $685.. l am not giving
you anything except facts, and the
truth is that 14.47 cents represents
just about what it would cost a spin
ner to get good middling cotton for
his mill for March delivery.
In view of the fact that the New
York papers continually criticize con-
gress for attempting to regulate the
New York cotton exchange or for
having anything to do with it,
thought this information would
probably be worth the while for you
to have when the discussion come
up for and against the cotton ex-
/ change. AS O manufactures, / am
strongly opposed to the New York
cotton exchange as il is now run. l
think that it should be abolished or
its prices made to present something
worth the while to the consumer
and producer and not run as a gam
bling joint"

tional woman suffrase by the present

leader OF the house, put the Demo.

that the question of suffrage was one
which should be left to the individual

The question cropped up in the
discussion OF the federation bill in
the house and there was considerable
debate as to just what was the action
Of the Democratic house caucus in re-
jecting the Raker woman suffrage
resolution. Representative Lenroot
OF Wisconsin declared that. by defeat
ing the proposition to create q new
woman suffrage committee. the Demo-
Gratis had taken the position that
woman should not have an opportu-
nifty to be heard on the suffrage ques-
tion.

Representative Underwood. "the Judi
ciary committee has been vested for
many years with Jurisdiction over this

the new committee which jurisdic-
tion Is already possessed by one OF

This committee has had such juris-
diction almost since the beginning of

There Is no objection on the part

they could not get II reported from

That is all there is to It, 1t is not a
question of taking from them the

ASIATIC AMENDMENTS KILLED
EXCLUSION OF ORIENTIALS is
QUIETED FOR PRESENT BY
MANN'S ACTION.

Plan for CalMness-Rcsult is Re-
mOval of Sections Which are Con-
sidcred Most Dangerous.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Asatic exclu-
sion agitation today was quieted tenn
pOrarily at least in the house after q
heated debate that brought both Re-
publican and Democratic leaders to
the floor with pleas for calmness and
deliberatiOn. BY Overwhelming votes
the house eliminated from the immi-
grafton bill under consideration all
amendments which have barred
Asiatic immigration.
The action was taken after Republi-
can Leader Mann, Representative
Sherley (Ky) and others had made
vigorous fight to overcome the sem
timent which last night expressed it
self by vote of Ill to 80 for the
perfection of an amendment to eX-
clude Mongolians, Malays and ne
groes. The speakers insisted that
there be no hasty action that might
embarrass the state department in it's
relations with the Japanese govern
ment.
The house was surcharged with eX-
citement when it met, and Represen-
tative Burnett, in charge Of the i'm
migration bill, forced the attendance
Of quorum. The anti-Japanese
forces rushed action, Representative
Raker Of California presenting a sub
stitute for a pending drastic exclusion
amendment presented by Representa-
tive Hayes. The debate became heat
ed and the house was in confusion
with a half dom members vocifer-
ously demanding an opportunity to
be heard. The tide was turned by
Republican Leader Mann, who strode
to the centre Of the chamber and,
quieting the tumult, began:
II have been long enough in this
house, l hope, to place the country
above party. / do not believe any of
these amendments should be adopted
at this time While / do not have
the greatest pride in the present state
department, ] feel that, in conduct
ing our relations with foreign coun-
tries. l am bound to rely upon the
state department. If they can not
eradicate difficulties through dip
lomatic negotiations, it then is time
e.
legislation.
Il am not prepared to invite war
with Japan or any other country,
though if that war should come as
a result of any legislation l would
not shrink from it,"
AS the house listened in hush Of
silence, Representative Mann turned
to the Republican side
Il think now is the time for us to
be cool and collected" he warned.
mot to be carried off our feet be-
cause we think, perchance, we can
play politics at the expense of the
Democratic side of the house. We
owe an allegiance to our country
above our party"
Shouts of approval from both
Democrats and Republicans inter-
rupted the speaker.
I'VE represent the entire country
and we ought to protect, at this time,
even California against herself" he
concluded.
The debate continued, but when
votes were forced, the amendments
were decisively defeated.
Consideration Of the bill was con-
tinued throughout the day. but no
amendments of material Importance
were adopted. 1t was agreed to al
low the immigration bill right of way
tomorrow when it will be passed.
