Going Right Ahead.
At the meeting of the York Baptist
Association at Union church last Tues
rday, 1t was evident that the leaders in
the s75,0O0,000 campaign of the de-
nomination do not propose to stick
right to the line of plan of the general
campaign in so far as raising the ap-
portionment in York county is con-
cerned. So confident are the York
county Baptists that they will be able
to raise the $107,017 asked for in this
county, that they want to begin the
work of actual canvassing at once and
get the matter out of the way instead
of waiting suntil November so. The
eagerness OF Baptist churches over
South Carolina to begin actual. can
vassing now instead Of on the date
set, November 30, has prompted DR..
w. j. McGiothlin Of Greenville, one of
the state Organizers to send an appeal
to all organizers, directors ard pastors
in the various associations and indi-
vidual churches to use the intervening
time between now and the opening
date of the campaign in the proper
work of instruction and preparation.
II feel sure that the campaign would
be oversubscribed If started now"
said Rev. 3. H. Waugh OF Yorkville,
one of the leaders in the work In York
county the sother day, "but the leaders
in the movement believe that this work
of instruction and preparation is very
beneficial tp the Baptists in many
ways, and Is essential II every mem
ber Of the REORGANIZATION is to derive
the good We expect"
Afraid Of the Men.
Woman Suffrage was the subject
under consideration by number Of
ladies who work for living outside
their. homes and who talked it over
with the reporter the other day. They
were no spfing chickens, those ladies',
either; but lladies who have gotten to
that station in life where the matri-
monial bee mo longer buzzes-ladies
who determined to pursue the road
of single btssedness until the end arc
determined ITO get alf they can out of
life in the fway of independence and
rights and make no bones" as to
their. advocacy of the cause Of suf-
frage They were not trying to con-
vert the newspaper man to, the cause
because he, is already for it,, but they
rocited the s'points" in favor of 1t for
the millionth time, because they are
suffragettes and because they are
women. "Of course we ought to be
allowed to. .yate:r said one. yTo be sure
we. shnBla ~ Bsn.t I,worls for my livfns
among, the public just like you do?
Don't j, pay tares just like men do?
Don't they call on me as guarantor for
the chautauqua or this cause or that
cause? Don't have to knock up
against the world and fight q battle of
wits and whatnots just like any man
Why there is no reason in the world
why women of York county and South
Carolina should not be allowed to
vote" And the newspaper man nodded
his head again and again by way Of
acknowledgment. that he concurred in
every conclusion. Every woman who
works in public for a living is in
favor of woman suffrage Is she not?"
he inquired, and one of the ladies
rather reluctantly replied, mo, not all
of them" And the man asked to
know why. The reply was fo}tb-
coming: Some of the younger wo-
men workers are against it. You see
they expect to marry sooner or later,
the most of them sooner, and they are
afraid they would incur the displeas-
ure of prospective male matrimonial
candidates if they voiced their ap-
proval of suffrage, so most of them
until they reach a certain age, are
against it." And the reporter went
out convinced that men, some men,
still have a little influence in regard to
women.
