to the entire convention and visitors
by the Southern Club, at its beautiful
club house, with its wide, spreading
view; the reception to officers and
delegates at the same place by Mrs.
Walker Coleman Graves, and many
smaller and more individual things
made a bewildering round of pleas
ures at all available times. But, that
not contenting their hospitable minds,
they kept US over for day after the
convention for first an auto ride all
over the city, then a buffet luncheon
at the Virginia building. But, be-
tween the two, reception by the di-
rectors of the exposition and the pre-

ALI of these surely seemed enough,
but hospitable California had other

auto ride and reception, and Los An

work.
Division reports were excellent and
showed a live and vigorous effort on
the part of the state. A division will
now be formed in New York as the
state has the required number of
chapters.
The delegates from the chapters
having votes in the convention from
Florida were Mrs. S. S. Moore and
Mrs. Ida j. Kennedy, from Tampa;
Mrs. VIM. F. Gwynne, from Laetitia
Ashmore Mutt Chapter, and Sister
Esther Carlott, from Anna Dummett
Chapter. The representation OF the
remaining thirty chapters represent
ed was in the hands of the state pres
ident by crendential from the chap
tiers. She held it, as always, prlv1-
lege Of honor to SO represent her
chapters, and used their vote con-
scientiously throughout.
Of the social courtesies Of Califor-
MIA Daughters it is almost impossible
to give any adequate idea. From the
warm welcome poured out to US on
the first evening to the last good-byes
in Los Angeles, they left nothing un-
done.
The Hotel Bellevue, with its perfect
appointments and service, was so
much ours that it scarcely seemed a
hotel. Everyone, from the courteous
and genial manager, down to the
youngest bellboy, seemed anxious to
make us comfortable.

and Westchester counties, has been
under the supervision of Mrs. Carl
Osterheld, of Yonkers. The entire
western end of the state Is cut per-
pendicularly into two campaign dis
tricts, reaching from Cayuga Lake to
Niagara Falls, and from Pennsyl-
vania to Lake Ontario. The two
largest cities of the state, outside Of
New York, Rochester and Buffalo, are
in this district. The western central
counties of Monroe, Wayne, Living
ston, Ontario, Seneca, Yates and Steu-
ben form the seventh campaign dis
trict under Mrs. Alice Clement, of
Rochester. The eighth campaign dis
trict is, territorially, one of the most
extensive. It comprises the thickly
settled western counties of Erie with
seven others, Niagara, Orleans, Gene
see, Wyoming, and the lower tier AL
legheny, Cattaraugus and Chatauqua,
the two last being winners for the
woman suffrage amendment. OF this
large district, Mrs. Frank Shuler was
leader. A part of the Adirondack d.
vision is in the twelfth campaign dis
trict. 1t was under the charge Of
Miss Lucy Watson, of Utica, and COM
prises MEDIA, Lewis, Herkimer, Ham
ilton and Fulton counties, of which
the last was winning county. On
the eastern side of the Adirondacks,
stretching to Lake Champlain, is the
eleventh campaign district, which was
in charge of Mrs. George hoffman, of
Keene Valley. This included the
counties of Essex, Warren, Washing
ton, Saratoga and Rensselaer,.
The largest winning city of the
state was Schenectady, which showed
a handsome majority for suffrage.
One of the features of the reorgan-
ization convention will be the con-
ference of these chairmen on "The
Lessons of the Campaign" Each will
make report on the prediction
work in her district, and give her con-
illusions as to the values disclosed by
that work. The conference will be at
2 p. m. on the afternoon of Wednes-
day, December LIST.
Reporters will be admitted to this
conference.

compulsory education laws sent out
from their mothers sheltering care.
Any one of these thirty-five school
buildings may become such another
fire trap as the Pittsfeld parochial
school where twenty-one children lost
their lives.
These buildings have wooden stair
ways above the first floor which are
either not enclosed at all or are shut
off with wooden partitions. They
have been reported as unsafe by the
fire commissioner, but the city can
not afford to remedy their defects.

After all, the action of the Charles
ton grand jury in the liquor cases is
not very different from that of the
Newberry grand jury in the Fielder
case. There should have been true
bills in both instances.-Yorkvill En-
quirer.
All OF which is very true. But ii
would be very dangerous thing to
undertake to bring undar pressure
the deliberations of a jury, either a
grand or petit jury. The jury sys-
lem is truly the bulwark of our lib
critics and the safeguard of our prop
erty rights. Now and again there may
be a miscarriage of justice, but we
should remember that we are all hu-
man and liable to err.

Tie editor of The Herald and News
is pleased to know tat Big Creek and
st. Luke's schools have decided to
unite. AS county superintendent of
education some three years ago the
first work we did was to start the agi--
tation for the union of these. schools;
A model rural high school may be cas-.
lily developed by the union of t.ese
schools. 1t would have been better to
locate the joint school away from the
church and to nave obtained some ten
to fifteen acres of land, SO that the
superintendentis house might be a part
of the school property. But that will
come soon after the union of the
schools. 1t was our dream to accom-
plish this, and to that end several
meetings were held. It is gratifying
to know that the realization is coming
so soon. We congratulate the people
on the fact that the two schools are
coming together and also those who
helped to bring it about.

Death Of Old .Colored Woman.

Sarah Hailstock, an old colored wo-

night. She was well known and re-

over fifty years she had been in the

family of the late Col. Jno. R. Leavell.
She was the widow of Dave Hailstock,

gestions" to officers, varying in any
degree from the law as ii is written.
The governor owes it to himself ana
to tie people of this State 10 publicly
state the purpose of his conference
and the results thereof.-Greenville
Piedmont.
Right you are, and whenever you be-
gin in the least to monkey with our
jury system either by suggestion"
from those higher up, or in any other
way, you are striking severe blow
at tie foundation of our liberties and
polluting the stream at its very foun-
tain. We do not say it is being done
but we agree with the Piedmont that
the governor should not make "sug-
gestions" to the officers in regard to
the jury, and not be willing to let the
public know what is going on. We
have no interest whatever in the Char
lesion matter except that we would
like to know that the law was being
enforced in Charleston as everywhere
else, but better let some of these fel-
lows go unpunished than to get the
impression that some sort Of "sug-
gestions" Tad been made to the Off
GERS whereby the jury changed its pol
icy or it's finding.
We know that the prohibition senti-
ment, or that sentiment which is
against the use of alcoholic drinks, is
growing very fast, and we believe that
those w3o desire prohibition are max
ing a mistake to try to force it. We
believe that real and genuine proni-
bition would come sooner if we would
just go on building up that sentiment
which condemns the use of wines and
liquors, instead of trying to pass more
thou-shalt-not laws. The anti-liquor
sentiment is growing all over the coun-
try and what we need is to encour-
age that sentiment, because until you
get rid of TIE appetite and desire for
liquor it is going to be difficult to en-
force any law against the sale. And
when you get prohibition in this way,
by building up a public sentiment in
its favor, you have something worth
while. But when men preach prohibi-
ton and drink themselves, and coun-
tenance the use of it in their own
children, there is not much use to pass
laws forbidding the sale. And there
is not much good in resorting to dr9s-
tic measures to enforce the law. But
in this matter the sale, OF not sale, Of
liquor is a mere incident compared
with the suspicion" even that there
are any suggestions" to be made to
the officers in regard to the juries
even of Charleston.

A SERIOUS MISTAKE.

Toat conference, which we hoped
would not be, has been had by Gov
ernor Manning with the jury commits
lsioners of Charleston county. The
morning dispatches report that yes
terday these commissioners met the
governor at his Office in the capitol
and had ga thorough discussion of the
matter Certain suggestions relating
to the method of drawing the names
out of the jury box for venires were
adopted by the jury commissioners.
What these suggestions were Governor
Manning would not discuss"
The method of drawing jurors is
fully defined in the statutes of this
State The drawing is required "after
ten days notice to the public of the

IN connection with this drawing, proof

sioners are required to choose men

do not do so, the public, who are ad-
vised by publication of the names Of
the jurors and who know these men,

The law OF the State makes "the sug-

the commissioners are not carrying

governor has the power of removal.
He has no right to add to those re-

way to influence the commissioners in

by public admonition.
