VILLAINS CAUGHT
FARMERS WITH SPEECH
ADDRESS OF STATE SUPERIN-
TENDENT DELIGHTED HIS
HEARERS.

No address heard by the farmers in
stitute was more thoroughly enjoyed
than that of Prof. Albert Williams,
state superintendent of public in
struction. His address was exceed
ingly clever, bright as new dollar,
full of humor and Astounding in good,
sound, common sense. 1t was a con
vincing appeal for better support of
the public schools. He absolutely
charmed his hearers and held their
undivided attention despite the op-
pressive heat.
Probably no appointment made by
Gov. Roberts was more heartily ap-
proved by the farmers than that of
Prof. Williams and members of the
resolutions committee declared that
it was only through inadvertence that
they failed to endorse his administra-
ton in the resolutions. Had mo-
tion to that effect been made after
Prof. Williams speech 1t would have
gone through with whoop.

That w. Porter Erwin, who mas
served for many years as assistant re,
corder will succeed his father, the
late Judge Ephriham E. Erwin as re.
corder of Columbia, is generally con,
coded. Nearly a year and half OF
the last term to which Judge Erwin

and since his son has practically dis
charged all of the duties of the office,
is familiar with every detail of the
service and is politically aligned with
the city administration it is conceded
that he can have the job.
The election of recorder for the
next term, which begins one year from
January |, next, is sure to be an is
sue in the coming campaign for mayor
and aldermen. The office is very
lucrative one and is certain to at
tract many candidates. Whether or
not Mr.. Erwin will aspire for re-elec-

TIVE PARTICIPATION IN MU-

TO REGISTER IN AUGUST
No Probability Of Woman Canlilate
For Mayor But Nominations For
Candidates For Aldermen Not i'm
probable Says Leader. q,
DAILY Herald, July 26)

Local Woman suffragists were elat-
ed today when informed by The Her
aid that the suffrage law had been up
held by the supreme court and 1t was
indicated by leaders Of the organiza-
ton that the women will take an &C
tive part in the forthcoming munich
pal election.
Miss Carrie Williams, local chair.
man, said that she did not doubt
but that if a candidate for mayor of
Columbia who has the proper charac-
ter and business ability announces
the women residing in the city would
unite in their support of him. She also
said that although it is unlikely that
any woman would announce as can
didate for mayor it is not improba-
bic that one or more will stand for
election to the board of aldermen.
Miss Williams stated that the series
of lectures on citizenship that was an
nounced several months ago but post
poned when a lower court held the
law unconstitutional would now be
taken up and close study made not
only of political economy in general
but also of local political affairs.
Mrs, A. E. Sheldon, district chair
man of the suffrage league, expressed
much qualification over the supreme
court decision but said that it was
not other than she had expected. She
said that steps would be taken imme-
diately to resume the course of lee
lures on citizenship planned some
time ago and that the women of the
city and county would make close
study of local political conditions.
She thought that circumstances would
determine whether the women of Co,
1rmbia would have a ticket IN the APP
preaching municipal ELECTION, but was
emphatic in the belief that the women
generally would participate in the
election as intelligent voters.
The entrance of women into the
elections means that the registration
next August at Columbia, Mt Pleas
ant and Spring Hill will be the largest
in the history of the county.

CLAIM CHARTER
PROVISION NOT
AGAINST WOMEN
ADVERSE INTERPRETATION OF
SUPREME COURT DECISION
NOT ACCEPTED.
new CLASS VOTERS CREATED
lnsistence That Charter Qualities Ger
tain Glasses of Voters But Does Not
Make Them Exclusive in the Right
to Vote.
DAILY Herald, July 29).

NbuiIy July SCJ'
Unwilling to accept the adverse in
depreciation of the supreme court de
csion of the woman suffrage act by
which it was claimed that provision
of the charter of the city of Columbia
would prevent them from voting, be-
cause qualification for voting for mem
bers of the general assembly also is
qualification for voting in municipal
elections, it was intimated today that
the suffrage leaders will insist upon
the right of women to vote in the Oc-
tober election.
Those who do not believe the char
ter provision is prohibitive of women
voting, claim that it merely establish
es one qualification for voting but
does not limit those who vote to that
qualification, and that the suffrage act
creates another class of voters. They
say that if the charter had said only
those who have six months residence
in the city and are qualified to vote
for members of the general assembly
it would have been absolutely prohib-
tive of all other classes of citizens.
The supreme court decision held
that similar clause in the Nashville
charter requiring six months resi-
dence was not affected by the suffrage
act and that women must fulfill that
qualification to vote, but local suffrage
advocates insist that the verbiage of
the Columbia charter is different
merely qualifying certain persons who
may VOTE but not making that quail
fication exclusive.
Obviously, if the suffrage act will
permit women to vote in Columbia
without being qualified to vote for
members of the general assembly, the
qualification of six months residence
likewise does not apply to them and
any women who is in the city at the
time of an election may vote therein,
provided she has complied with any
other legal qualifications.
The probability is that when the
municipal election is held women will
go to the polls for the purpose of vot-
ing If they are not then permitted
to vote and the result of the election
is close, there will be an opening for
a legal contest. Likewise, if they are
permitted to vote and the majority of
the winner is small, there will be
grounds for precipitating court pro
Ceedings to determine the rights of
women in Columbia
1t has been suggested by some lead
ers on both sides that the surest sols-
ton of the question would be by mu-
nicipal ordinance granting suffrage to
the women or by an amendment to the
city charter as soon as that can be
made Since the women of other cit
les of the state will have the right of
voting in municipal elections it is in
sisted that those of Columbia should
have that right also, regardless of any
legal technically that might appear
to bar them from such participation

Columbia continues 10 grow as poul.
try market center Saturday was a re-
cord breaker at the American Railway
Express Co. office on poultry receipts,
2S5 coops being received for local
dealers, according to C. d. Judd, man
ager. These c6ops came from near
by villages and shipping points. 1t is
probable that the receipts by local
dealers of poultry by truck from Maui
ry county points alone exceeded that
by express.
Estimating the weight of the coOps
at 70 pounds each, the total weight
would have been 1880 pounds, and
estimating the coops at 25 head each,
Of hens and marketable chickens. the
total number was 1915 fowls. Garry
ing the estimate further and placing
the average price at 81 each and drop
ping the S75 odd fowls to make the es-
innate conservative, the amount paid
by local dealers for this poultry Sat
urday was $4,000.
Taking into consideration the re-
ceipts by trucks and by farm wagons,
it is a safe estimate that the local
dealers paid out for hens, chickens and
eggs fully $4,000 last Saturday. Co
lumbia is recognized as one of the
largest produce markets in the South
and the day is not far distant when
this city will be the premier in that
line of business.

County superintendent of Roads
Butler went to Nashville today for the
purpose of selecting three of the big
army trucks that have been assigned
to the state of Tennessee by the ag-
ricultural department of the United
States for road making purposes.
Supt Butler stated that he would
select three and half ton trucks as
he believed that they would render
better service in hauling gravel from
out of the creeks on the roads, than
the heavier trucks. The trucks will
have to be supplied with dump beds
before they are available for use on
the county roads. Supt Butler stated
that these beds would cost about $3.50
to $500 each, but that the trucks would
be practically useless without them.
New trucks, and those that the county
will get are practically new, would
cost several thousands of dollars each,
Supt. Butler is figuring on a ma
chine to load the trucks with gravel.
He Is investigating a number of these
machines before purchase is made
With two or three trucks on a road,
with patent loader operating and
unloaded with the dump, very small
force of hands can place metal on a
big mileage in the course of a day
Mr.. Butler hopes to have the trucks
fitted out and ready for work within
short time.
