Welded Glass Made.

Welded glass suitable for certain
optical instruments and other appa-
ratus is a novel material, that is
stated to be of great practical value
as we'll as much interest. AS the
welding process is described by Park
er and Dalladay to the Faraday So
ciety. of London, the glass surfaces
to be joined are placed in good op-
tical contact under pressure, and are
heated to a carefully predetermined
temperature, which, to avoid dlstor-
tion of optically worked surfaces
must not approach too near what is
defined as the "anneali1g point. This
point of appreciable softening is de-
termined for any kind of glass by
noting the temperature at which the
internal heat stresses seen in the
glass with polarized light quite sud-
denly disappear. Similar glasses
unite perfectly we'll below this point;
but with very unlike kinds, the softer
becomes distorted before the harder
is hot enough to make good weld.

COAL DUST TO REPLACE GAS.
New Fuel May Prevent Closing DOVE
of Many Pittsburg Plants.

Threatened by shut downs IN the
winter months because of natural gas
shortage, manufacturers in the Pitts
burg district have been conducting
experiments with coal dust. They
assert their experiments have proved
the dust can be substituted for gas.
The Carnegie Steel company is
using coal dust at 30 of its open
hearth furnaces in this district. 1t is
estimated the use of this fuel Will
mean a saving of 21,OO0,O00 cubic
feet of gas daily While coal dust
is not as cheap as natural gas, it is
being furnished manufacturing plants
at a rate cheaper than consumers

With this clearly enunciated, con-
sensus of opinion was that woman
suffrage should get final hearing
before the electorate, just as bond
issue is submitted.
Only one speaker yesterday bark
ed back to the sentimental. Le-
Grand Walker, veteran in the upper
house, pictured the death of ro-
nance with the admission of woman
suffrage and heaped chaplets OF
poesy on the imaginary shrine where
knighthood is wont to worship. The
Georgetown senator suspects that
he'll never grow old and admitted,
with generous blush, that he is pc
culiarly susceptible to the allure
ments of woman in modish garments.
He will support the referendum reso-
luton, but will stump" Georgetown
county in opposition to the issue,
should it be submitted to the people.
Senator JohnstOne's View.
Senator Alan Johnstone, of New
berry, also made an eloquent speech
in favor of the referendum. Like
the Georgetown official, Senator
Johnstone is opposed to the principle
of woman suffrage, but argues that
he has not been commissioned to
say that the people shall not settle
the issue. The recurring thought in
Senator Johnstone's argument was,
who commissioned me to say that
the sovereign people shall not pass

Columbia. Feb. 1.-The equal SUI
frage referendum, which has been
the storm centre in the upper house
of the general assembly several days,
was killed last night, the vote being
25 in it's favor with 19 against. A
two-thirds vote was necessary for its
passage. A similar bill is pending
in the house, and the faithful "pick-
cts" who have stood daily pleading
for their cause, will now transfer
their efforts to the lower branch.
The resolution provided for a vote
by the people in the next general
election in 1918. Should further
progress on the proposed measure
be effectively stayed, the agltators
plan to bring the measure to the
front one year hence.
The vote on the resolution was:

on a question to change the organic
law of their State?" Like Banquo's
ghost woman suffrage will continue
to stalk and must be settled sooner
or later, either at the ballot box or
in constitutional convention. when
YOU stand in the way of that decision
you are simply damming the waters. y
Analysis of the question by Sena-
tor Wharton, of Laurens, was that
the As senators were not being asked
whether woman suffrage was good or
bad. THE women are not asking
the senators to determine the issue;
they are asking the 10000 voters
of the State.' Women should have
had the ballot a quarter of a CEN
turv ago. the Laurens county senator
said. Mr.. Wharton propnesied a
benefcent influence when women
were admitted to the ballot, There
will not be so much charge of fraud
or they stole the election
The small minority Of women
asking the referendum was the deter
rent influence with Senator Banks,
of Calhoun. He did not believe the
mass of women are ready for the bal
lot. or want it. He thinks they would
be entitled to it when the majority
want it and demand it. He had con-
suited women in his community.
Many were opposed, but none favor
ed the referendum. He preferred to
submit the question Of divorce.

Senator D. Reece Williams, who
entered the hall after the vote had
been announced, asked that his vote

not vote.
Absorbs Morning Session.
Throughout the morning session
the suffrage referendum was the sub
ject of rafting fire of spirited de-
bate. Sentiment was nearly unanl-
nous in opposition to woman suf-
frage, but only two of the senators,
Williams, of Aiken, and Banks, OF
Calhoun, marshaled their arguments
against submitting the issue to the
electorate. The latter much pre-
ferred to submit to his constituency
the question of divorce.
YESTERDAYS debate was seasoned
with more logic than that of the pre-
ceding day. Tuesday the question at
issue seemed to be, If woman occu'
pied a pedestal, who put her there
God or man," Yesterday the bat
tie array was formed about the in
ferential query, Are women peo'
ple?" If women were to be charac
terized as people, then they were
legitimate part of each senator's
constituency and, as such, had ar
unuuestioned right to hearing
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-02-08

Senator Christensen, of Beaufort,
said the people of the State would
act on their own initiative when the
question was submitted and would
vote as they might determine, re-
gardless of senatorial views. The
question should be submitted for the
people to "thresh out" just as an
expression is asked on bond issues
or other questions of public import.
