ty when they claimed to fear the vote
of the negro woman.
Since when have negro men exer-
cised an influence of their right to
vote in Southern State? If the
white primary has obliterated the vote
of the negro man, would it be less
effective with the franchise in the
hands of negro women? The Juggling
of this issue into such debate at
this time was exceedingly ill-advised.
A Republican congress and Repub-
lican president, should they be elect
ed next year, may change the whole
situation by making the number of
voters the basis of representation in
Congress and the elector come as a
result of such conduct as now is.
Republicans have urged such
change some time ago and may now
make it. And what can the gentle
men who defeated woman suffrage
in the general ass assembly offer to
prevent it?
Be assured if such a change is
made, and it is more than probable
it will come as a result of such con-
duct as was witnessed in the contest
just closed County Times.

When You Get To Macon,
Where Are You A T.?

headed by William w. Gordon, Of
Chatham, and John B. Lamar, OF
Bib, both of whom were members
of the house of representatives, were
appointed to memorabilia the legisla-
| ture.
The notable memorial was drawn
either by the distinguished Absalom
H. Chapel, or the famous United
States Senator John Mcpherson Ber-
rien. Alexander H. Stephens, who
was then serving his first term in the
house, wrote thus Of the memorial:
"The memorial was written with
great ability, and was not without its
influence on the minds of members
of the Legislature. 1t was presented
to the house by Mr.. Gordon; and in
nothing purporting to give history
of the state road, ought the important
bearing of the action of that Macon
convention to be overlooked or omit
ted. It's labors closed with nothing
more pointed or practical than max
ing this strong, urgent, and able ap-
peal or address to the legislature"
Referring to the decision of the
legislature to build the state road,
Mr.. Stephens, in letter, March 10,
1857, said:
"And as we look back now who can
say that the day on which the vote
wa staken and deided was not the
most important day in Georgia's his
tory since the beginning of the pres
ent century? What great consequen-
ces have resulted from that vote! 1t
was the date of new era in our an
nails. 1t was an epoch-a turning
point in our career"
The passage of the bill to construct
the state road was the browning act
of the legislature of 1886. 1t blazed
the paht of marvellous development
in splendid North Georgia, and has
brought wonderful enhancement in
value of property and great increase
of population. The Western and At
lantic railroad has contributed i'm
mensely to the advancement of the
happiness and prosperity of sec
ton without which Georgia would lose
much of her power, glory and re-
noWn.
Macon is proud of the potential
part she took in the great enterprise,
and is happy in the knowledge that
among the brilliant stars which make
Georgia's glorious diadem not one
shines with a brighter or purer light
than the star that proudly answers to
the name of Marietta.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE
and WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The Times mentioned last week that
the legislature had refused to ratlfy
the amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition giving women the right to vote.
Per Sc, we have always opposed wo-
man suffrage, not that women are not
sufficiently intelligent to vote, but be-
cause it is contrary to the traditions
of the South, and because we would
shield the womanhood of our land
from much that will necessarily be re-
pugnant to them.
The mere voting is but small part
of it, but in it's train suffrage will
bring much that the chivalry of the
South should shield it's womanhood
from. Nevertheless, as we see it, there
is no longer opposed to the meas
ure; suffrage has won the fight.
Eleven states have already conferred
the right to vote upon their women,
and it was only so late as the last
Congress that we saw woman repre-
sent her district in the House, and it
is claimed that the states which have
onferred the ballot upon their women
are the states that saved the day and
secured the reelection of Woodrow
Wilson at the last election.
It comes with poor grace for some
of the so-called Democrats of the
State Senate, who never lost an OPP
portunity to attack Democratic
president, to object to suffrage for
our women, because, forsooth, it
comes through Constitutional
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, since for half century the ne
gro has exercised the elective fran
chise. under an amendment to that
Constitution. 1t is no answer to say
that those amendments were forced
upon us, since this one will be just
as certainly enacted, and without our
vote, as were the 14th, 18th and 10th
amendments.
The speeches of some of those who
opposed this last amendment indicate
very strongly that they were fight
ing the administration more than the
amendment.
These men, indeed the legislature
as a whole, which represents rock
ribbed Democratic State, would have
inspired respect, if it had, while re-
iecting Federal suffrage, conferred
the elective franchise on the women
of Georgia. They would then, at
least, have been consistent.
AS it is, Georgia women will get
the ballot through outside influences,
that has been denied them by their
own husbands, fathers and sons.
1t will come with still poorer grace
for these same Democrats-so-called
to appeal to the women voters of
the states of the great Northwest for
help in electing a Democratic presi-
dent and Democratic congress.
Consistency is a jewel so rare that
few politicians possess it, and it will
be we'll if most of the leaders in both
houses of the present general assem-
bly, are speedily relegated to the junk
from which it is unfortunate that
they were rescued last year. We
don't need them.
1t is worse than nonsense, it is the
sheerest folly to preach that they are
actuated and governed by "princi
ples;" these are foreign to their very
natures. Nothing could be more con-
vincing of this than their speeches
and their conduct throughout the de-
bates of the amendment. Their lug
ging the negro into the discussion was
as poor politics and as unwise as was
| their lack of intelligence and integri-

TRAVELLER TELLS

A river of boiling mud and lava
which overwhelmed the village of
Blitar, where Miss Cranen was stay
ing, she says, was ten miles wide
and four feet deep.
The first symptoms of the COM
ing eruption, Miss Cranen said,
were sounds like thunder and vivid
flashes in the sky. Enormous boul-
ders were flung from the volcano

darkness owing to a rain of ashes.
Then came warning to the occu-
pants of the hotel at Blitar that
the river of lava and mud was ap-
preaching "We were almost beside
ourselves as to what to do to avoid
a hideous end" she said. Twenty
four of those staying at the hotel
escaped death in the boiling mud
by fleeing aboard a motorcar driven
by the wife of the assistant resident
commissioner.
According to Miss Cranen, the
river of mud ran for three hours
and wrought fearful damage to life
and property. 1t covered the rail-
way station, buried the locomotives
and cars, and destroyed virtually
every house in Blitar, Wlingi, and

ARMY BUILDS
OUTPOSIS ON
MEX. BORDER

of forts built in the days of the
Indians to guard the Staked Plains
and the Southwest from raids by
marauding bands of savages, the
United States army is building per
manent outposts along the Mexican
border to prevent incursions by
armed bands of Mexican bandits
across the border. These will ex-
tend from the Pacific TO the mouth
of the Rio Grande at Brownsville,
Texas, and will be garisoned by
attachments of infantry and cavalry
from the Southern department.
Construction work is in progress
on these permanent outposts in the
Ell Paso district, including the Big
Bend sub-district of Texas and the
sub-district of New Mexico. In the
Big Bend, where many Mexican
raids have occurred, these outposts
are being built like the blockhouses
of frontier days, with trenches sur
rounding the low adobe and con-
crete buildings, built in the form
of a quadrangle, to give the best
possible defensive protection. At
Palvo. Ruidosa, BEDFORD, Glen
Springs, and Vado Piedra these out
posts are being constructed under
the direction of Colonel George
Langhorne, commander of the sub
base. A cantonment also is being
built at Maria, Texas, so miles
from the border, to serve as head
quarters for the outposts.
In the e. Paso district proper an
outpost is being built at the Santa
Fe street approach to the interna-
tional bridge to Juarez. This will
house the dismounted cavalry bridge
guards, who inspect everything sent
to Mexico. At Ysleta, Fabens, Fort
Hancock, and Sierra Blanca, Texas,
similar buildings will be erected for
the patrnls and detachments guard
ing the fords from Mexico. All
will be plastered with cement on
the exterior and will have stables
for cavalry horses, electric lighting
systems, running water, shower
baths and modern mess kitchens. A
cantonment is being built at Fort
Bliss to house the reserve troops
for these outposts, which will in
clude 10 men and four officers
each.
Outpost buildings along the New
Mexican border will be constructed
of lumber from Camp Cody, New
Mexico, and unused material pur-
chased for other environments dur
ing the war. The headquarters will
be located at Columbus, with out
posts at Hachita, The Corner Ranch,
Slaughter's Ranch and other STRAIT
egic points along the New Mexican
border. Each outpost will cost ap-
proximately $4,000 and will be
built under the supervision of the
FL Paso division quartermaster's Of
fee.
! Branch depots of the zone supply
depot in Ell Paso will also be built
along the border to supply these
outposts and truck, wagon, and pack
trains organized to carry supplies.

border outposts along the Rio
