equal rights or suffrage, and why
should she be denied? she is the
equal of man every way, made Of the
same material and greatly improved
through the processes following. God
made man in the Garden of Eden from
the dust of the earth and later he
caused deep sleep to come upon
Adam and he took from his side rib
and out of the rib he, made woman.
Now we have no modus operandi of
this proceeding. Guess there was no
ether or cocaine in that remote period,
neither are we to conclude there were
dIssecting or operating instruments
or glass top tables, for the Lord had
no need of any of these. Woman was
made of the same material as man
and now follows the process through
which she has passed to make her
more refined than man. To illustrate: ::
The smith takes the rough bar of iron
and chips off piece, pinches it in his
tongs, puts in the furnace and heats
it, then places it upon his anvil and
hammers it, then back to fire and beats
it and then again to the anvil and
hammers it, this done several times
over, then he puts it in his wise and
squeezes it and holds it and rasps and
files it till finally he brings it out fine
blue steel, muct better and more re-
fined than the original block or the
rough asher from which it was TAX.
en-. Just SO with the woman. She has
passed through the heat and fire, been
hammered, pinched and squeezed (the
squeezing not so OBJECTIONABLE
till she comes forth like the pure clean
blue steel or the white driven snow
and why should she not be equal with
man? Her deeds of valor and hero
ism in time of the Revolution, then the
young heroine who declared, "Curfew
shall not ring tonight" and Pocahon-
tas, who threw herself between the
tomahawk and Captain John Smith
and saved his life at the peril of her
own life and then the daring deeds of
Bell Boyd, the Confederate spy, to say
nothing of the hundreds of other deeds
of bravery and valor entities her to
equal rights with the men.
We had small cotton fire here Sat-
urday evening. Four bales were dis
covered burning on the platform near
the depot about $3.50 p. m. The cot
ton was thrown upon the ground and
saturated with water and soon put
out with but little damage to it. The
cotton belonged to the Farmers Un-
ion. There were many bales of cotton
on the platform and it might have
been a serious fire if it had not been
discovered in time. No trains had
passed to set the cotton and it is
pretty we'll understood that the cotton
was set afire by bad boys with
matches.
