FOR GItEATEIs OCONEE.

It was really refreshing to us TO
hear yesterday the voice Of DR.. Edgar
A. Times, OF Seneca. even th0agh that
voice came to us over eight riles OF
wire. 1t sounded natural, and it
sounded right. We could never quite
accustom ourselves to thinking of
DR.. Hines as a resident of Anderson.
Of course, Anderson is u good town
and all that--but DR.. Hines belongs
10 Oconec, and somehow we could
never accustom ourselves to think of
MIN as an hndersonian.
Now, however, he Is back in Oco-
nee. and we are glad Of it, we con-
gratulate Seneca and Oconcc, and we
sympathize with Anderson. The
great feature OF tho return OF DR..
Hines to our county is that he comes
back with a greater love for Oconec,
and with tho determination to work
for a "Greatcr Oconcc."

SETTLING !jUsITANIA CASE.
German Proposals Said to BE Salts
factory to United States.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Negotia-
tions between the United States and
Germany over the Lusitania incident.
it seemed to-day, virtually have
reached a conclusion.
This became apparent following the
receipt Of two communications from
Germany, through Count Won Bern
Storff, the German ambassador-one
offering to pay an indemnity for loss
of American lives in the Lusitania
disaster and the other conveying as
surances regarding the conduct of
submarine warfare
The latest turn in the negotiations
caused qualification In official circles
and relieved to a great extent tension
over the entire submarine question.
Austria already having given as
surances regarding submarine opera
tions, 1t is expected that Turkey and
Bulgaria will be next to give similar
guarantees.
Indications were that the German
proposals III the LuSitanla AFFAIR
would be accepted by the United
States. Practically the only thing
remaining to bring the controversy to
an end, it was said, is the wording Of
the agreement to be entered into.
Officials to-day still were without
details concerning the sinking of the
British steamer Persia, although adj
ditional instructions have been sent
diplomatic and consular officers to
gather any information obtainable.
Some members of the cabinet are
urging President Wilson, after the
Persia case has been settled, to ask
all the Teutonic allies to definitely
agree that no unarmed ships with
Americans aboard shall be destroyed
until passengers and crew have
reached place Of safety. President
Wilson is considering the idea and is
said to think we'll of it.

BOOST "vOTEs FOR WOMEN. :,
Senate Suffrage Committee Reports
FavOrably on Anthony Amendment.

Washington, Jan. 8.--The Susan
h. Anthony amendment providing for
woman suffrage was favorably re-
ported to-day to the Senate by the
suffrage committee.
After pointing out that the gov
ernment Of the United States Is one
Of delegated powers, the report says:
Manhood suffrage has been from
time to time extended. Eycry en-
largement Of the franchise has 1een
natural and logical development of
the principle Of popular sovereignty
We may assume that universal male
suffrage is an established factor III
our system of government.
"ln our opinion every argument
and every principle upon which uni
versal manhood suffrage rests de-
mands the extension OF Its privileges
and responsibilities to women. They
are subject to the laws, are taxed
for the support Of government and
subject with men to a common polit-
ical destiny. They comprise SO per
cent Of our population. They are cit
izons in all other respects. Together
with the men they constitute the peo-
pie. In patriotism, intelligence, de-
votion to welfare OF the government
and in capacity for franchise, they are
in no wise inferior to men.
Neither logically nor justly there
fore can unlimited suffrage be recog-
niZed as All essential to our republi-
can form Of government and its en-
istence at the same time be limited to
one-half Of the people, arbitrarily
segregated from the other half by
the accident of SEX"
The report adds that, inasmuch as
the nation nearly half century ago
determined to restrict State author
ity over the ballot by abolshing the
disqualification Of color, there is no
reason why it should not continue
this policy by abolishing the disquali-
fication Of sex.
