South Carolina, that paragon among States
rights advocates has wandered strangely from
the path which led it into armed defiance Of
Federal cncroachment and fastened the
flames OF civil war. Now its rewest Senator
is one OF the Anthony suffrage amendment
boosters. An even more surprising condition
exists in its sister State OF North Carolina,
where judges. the Speaker Of the House, the
Lieutenant-Governor and other leading cit
liens have deluged the Senator'S to vote away
the rights OF the State to regulate its own
suffrage. This attitude may be explained by
the letter written by one or the Judges OF
