FACTIONALISM DEAD

The opening meetings of the
Democratic campaign lead one to
believe that the voters of this
State have passed the stage when
they can be swayed solely by
their passions.
This new and desirable state
Of affairs may be accounted for
to some extent, at least, by the
great advancement in education
al advantages now being attained
by the State.
However, we believe that be-
meath the calm demeanor of the
crowds who ponder quietly upon
the words of the various candj.
dates, is the same spirit that in
1776 hurled defiance in the face
of a puppet King George III
the same spirit that in 1861 .caus-
ed our brave people to protest in
no uncertain terms against what
was considered a violation of our
rights as sovereign State.
1t is safe assertion that reas.
on will rule in this contest and
that the spirit of justice and lib
erty that actuated the South Ca.
rolina patriots of old is burning
still to day and no puppet poll
tician will be able, by an appeal
to passion, conquer or subvert
this spirit.
An enlightened patriotic spirit,
by reason, will control
the destinies of South Carolina
in this election.

ADVERTISER.
THURSDAY
PAUL III. HlGARN
Editor and Publisher,
GOOD BYE, BROTHER HUGHES!

Guess the New York Tribune
wishes now it had not said it.
But it is too late, Old Trib, it's
down in black and white and
very black for Hughes.
Just before the meeting of the
Republican Convention the Trib-
une printed an editorial from
which we extract these para
graphs:
Mr.. Hughes has been desig-
mated by the hyphens as their
agent to punish Mr.. Wilson for
his partial refusal to comply
with Potsdam orders. No
German American has made
the smallest concealment of the
purpose of the hyphens to use
Mr.. Hughes to enforce German
wishes at Washington.
Such being the case there are
thousands and thousands of
Americans who will see no great
er duty than to stand by the
president of the United States,
assailed by alien influence be-
cause of his defense of American
rights.
No words of Mr. Hughes after
nomination can in the smallest
degree remove the impression
that will prevail that he was will.
ing to win the nomination by
hyphen aid, and that his silence,
his retreat behind the supreme
court bench, was a deliberate at.
tempt to get for himself votes
and support that might be re.
pulsed if he said before nomina.
tion what he will have to say af.
ter it,
The Tribune does not believe
that the people of the United
States will turn from Mr.. Wilson
to a republican candidate who
has not only followed the course
which has earned Mr.. Wilson
just censure among patriotic
Americans, but has also permit
ted himself to be used as the
club of disloyal and reasonable
citizens"
The hyphens referred to by
the Tribune are those Germans
in America who want to see their
native country succeed in the
great contest and are willing to
sacrifice America to insure sue
cess to the Kaiser.
The Tribune closed the editor
ial in this prophetic, and positive
language:
If the republican national
convention accepts the German.
American candidate and Mr..
Hughes consents to be the Ger
nan-American candidate even
for purposes of obtaining the re.
publican nomination, Woodrow
Wilson will be re elected"

fsstly exempted her from horrors,
dangers and privations Of war.
Now women claim equal rights
with men, equal privileges,
shouldn't she share equal burd-
ems. equal DANGERS, equal priva-
tons? In England the suffra-
getts have had many a fight with
the police. They are crying for
the same rights that men have,
for equal participation in govern
mental matters-in other words
equality. Then If given equal
rights, why shouldn't England

tes, give them rifle, put them
In the trenches, and save some
of her men? If this move were
undertaken, you can imagine
the howl the women would raise.
1t would be fair though, for If

eges. then doesn't share in the
burdens and dangers, then there
is no equality. When woman
voluntarily puts herself upon an
equality with man, and claims
equal rights, she is no longer en-.
titled to any consideration on
account of her sex, and should
be treated accordingly.
Picture for moment, the wo-
man of the future, under Wo-
mans Sutfrage-the womanly
modesty is gone. Where is the

6hould Women Vote!
Editor The Advertiser:
By P. A. Murray, Jr.

In view of the letter of "a
Chesterfield County Woman, l
would like to add a few words to
what I've already said.S
The advocate If Womsn's Suf-
frage discreetly lodges the issue,
as to there being any Biblical
authority for equal suffrage. In
the earlier history of the move.
ment, some said: ''Oh that part
of the Bible does not apply to
conditions today. 1t is to old
fashioned" Some of the lead
ers realized the folly Of such
statements, and those thought
less ones were quickly hushed
up.
They would make much of the
fact that st. Paul was a hache-
lor, tyou see how hard they try
to get around his utterance), but
there is one fact they can't
dodge, no matter how hard they
try, and that is even though st.
Paul was bachelor, he was an
inspired (bold face mine) man,
and for this reason alone, Is en-
titled to more weight than any
IF the authorities vet cited.
l here re-iterate the state
ment that while men have pro-
gressed morally in the past few
decades, women have deterior-
ated. | again assert that man
has to be much better man to-
day in every respect, than ever
before in history, before he can
be classed as gentleman, while
the girls of today say things and
do things their good mothers
would never have dreamed of
doing.
One illustration, why do SO
many women of today, (reputed
good, and supposedly above re-
proach), deliberately dress in
such a way as to arouse the
worst in man? Rev. Billy Suu-
Z day, preaching to Philadelphia
congregation, among other things
said, Substantially, THE way
some of you women dress, a man
can't look at you without having
evil thoughts" There are many
other illustrations but space is
limited.
AS to there being no place in
the Woman's Equal Suffrage
League for the social butterfly
ETC., wish to say that | was
much amused IN reading the
New York papers in reference tc
the Suffrage Hike" from New
York to Washington. In thar

prominent social leaders and so.
; cial butterflies in the Country
and they stand Ace high in the
suffrage movement. Women
who have drunk the cup pleas.
ure to it's bitter dregs, and tiriE g
of cards and poodle dogs, have
taken on a new hobby. How
many real wives and mothers do
you find among the leaders of
the movement? q do not refer
to the woman who has merely
borne children, but the real
ideal mother). Take the list IN
this Country and England, read
it, investigate and see for your
self. You will find that the
large majority either have no
cnlldren, neglect their children,
or else are so old that their chill
dren have grown up, and there
is nothing to interest them at
home. The true mother is too
interested and busy looking af-
ter the welfare of her home, the
development and rearing of her
children, (And it is a labor of
love), to hike to Washington in
boomers.
AS to the banner Baby States

exult yet, give them a chance
1t might not show up in a genera
tion, but look to the next, for it

are not all that they should be,
then if the mothers of today will |
take mere interest in the proper
rearing and development of their
children, then the next genera
tion will be meh indeed, and wo-
man will have no cause to kick.
Again quoting from the letter:
The great motive back of the
Womans Suffrage League is to
improve the conditions in the
home by educating the children
to become better home makers
and better citizens" Why that
Is already woman's duty. If she
Is shirking that duty, then she
is not q good wife and mother.
In other words as 1 see it, it is
already the duty of the mother
to educate the children to be-
come better home makers and
better citizens, but the Womans
Suffrage League, recognizing
this, demand the ballot before
they will perform an existing
duty. Queer doctrine that.
AS to Woman's new place"
l wonder what that is? l knew
that she was, or was supposed to
be, the Qeen of the Home, the
inspiration and help.meet of her
mate, and the mother of his chill
dren, but was not aware of her
new place..
AS to Roosevelt as an authori-
ty, will merely call attention
to the fact that Teddy's mind
changes with the wind. AS to
President Wilson, l don't know,
but he Is only human, and at the
time the Presidency was loom
ing up before him, (And there
were good many women voters
In the Roosevelt States who
were not deeply attached to the
wielder OF the big Stlck"), and
it might have been that his eye
was upon the future, and his ear
upon the ground.
AS to Bryan, take from him
the gift of gah, and his self adj
vertisement, and there will be
nothing left. (This is the con.
sensus of opinion of some of the
best newspaper men in the coun,
trv and is entitled to weight.)

and Elihu Root, two of the great.
est minds, and ablest states.
men of the day, and of many
lays in fact, who both bitterly
oppose it.
AS to the Methodist Episcopal
Church at it's, Q believe it is

tion). going on record as favor
ing "Woman's Suffrage, hard
ly know what to say. Some
times politics will creep into
church matters in spite of every
thing. Anyway it was the

vorce, while the majority of the
people of this State are against
it, so that | do not see that this

divorce or suffrage for women,
would have any influence here.
If we could weigh and determine
the motive moving those men to
sign the declaration, we would
indeed be enlightened.
