Her aged imbecile stepson, wallace

WOMAN SUFFRAGE PASSES

The historic Susan B. Anthony a.
mendment to the Constitution of the
United States has passed both houses
of Congress and is now up to the
States. Thirteen States opposing the
only because of woman suffrage
measure will insure its defeat. There
is we'll defined opposition to the a
mendment in Southern States not
itself, but because many think that
the matter should be left to the var
ious States to settle in whatever man.
ner they may think fit. In the New
England States sentiment for the
measure is lukewarm.
We believe that large majority
of the people of this country favor
the measure and for that reason we
hope that the necessary Sc states for
ratification of the amendment will be
Immediately forthcoming. We would
prefer that the question be settled
by the individual states, but above
all things let it be settled once and
for all time, and that quickly.

across the hall from the governors
office is Secretary of State W. Banks
Dove who looks as if he had not had
square meal in a hundred years.
Those who visit Columbia know how
rare and costly good food is there.
In fact, it would be economical for
all who go there to carry rations not
only for the governor but for them
selves as well. So, remember, when
you have business with the governor
take along with you for him a fine
country ham, a basket of vegetables,
a pound cake, some choice tripe of
turnip salad, or any other delicacy of
the season. If it be true that man
is what he eats, there is no hope for
the governor unless he is saved from
Columbia rations by loving friends.

POUND THE GOVERNOR.
: (Greenville Piedmont }

- (Greenville Piedmont.)
Leake Carraway, writing in the
Charlotte Observer, says that he ac7
companied Governor Cooper of South
Carolina when he visited Governor
Beckett Of North Carolina. He does
not record what the governor Of
South Carolina said to the governor
of North Carolina, but it is safe to
say that nothing stronger than but
termilk was mentioned. He does
say, however, that North Carolin-
ian who joined the party en- route
had a package and explained that it
contained fine ham he was carrying
to the chief executive of the Old
North State. Whereupon, the genial
governor of the Palmetto State said,
81 should like you to say that appar-
emily it is a custom in North Carolina
that when a gentleman goes to call
upon the governor he takes his ra-
tions along with him. am of the
opinion that this is most happy
practice and I should like to see it
given wide publicity in my State"
It is, indeed, a "happy practice" es-
pecially when the governor OF South
Carolina is compelled by law to live
in Columbia where "vittles" are
scarce, scanty and high. Let every
caller upon the governor from out
side the capital pound him as preach
ers are pounded, and soon he will
flourish like a green bay. tree, and
put on a bay window of the Hon.

progress in the Carolinas and Flori-
da, elsewhere the continued rainfall
and wet soil were unfavorable for
cultivation and growth.
The condition of cotton continues
satisfactory in Georgia but it is de-
teriorating from lack of cultivation.
Progress was slow in Mississippi and

see each student distinguish himself
Can the reactions of the students be
other than good in such benetlcent
atmosphere?
In addition there are no distrac-
tions, nothing to tempt the students
from the carefully planned routine
of college work, routine that is
irksome at times, bit trains big men
and big women. From an economic
standpoint the small colleges offer
opportunities for education that few
of the larger institutions with all
their endowments and scholarships
can meet.
Such an institutions leaves last
ing impression on its graduates and
ex-students and the influence is al
ways noble, uplifting, inspiring
Alumni look back on the college days
with glowing memories. Sometimes
they are slightly irritated because
the old college seems to be tagging
behind the times, still remains old
fashioned, but the same alumni
would be the first to combat any radi-
cal changes in the firmly fixed in
stitutions or curriculum; its tradi-
tions are something almost holy; its
achievements are matters of which
they are proud and of its future
they are more than confident.
On Tuesday the members of the
graduating class of 1919 at Erskine
college were given their diplomas.
The exercises were simple and dig
niied. The merit of the academic
oratory gave the lie to the oft re-
peated canard that the art of public
speaking is dying in our colleges.
Certainly it is very much alive in our
small colleges.
Then came the address by the an
niversary speaker, Senator W. P.
Pollock, of Cheraw, who gave a
brief, interesting and eloquent dis
course on topics of present day in
terest. He especially emphasized
the need of a League of Nations. He
also said that he confidently believed
that woman suffrage would be favor
ably acted upon by the United States
Senate.
Now we come to the really inter
esting part of the trip. Of course it
was our dinner at the hospitable
home of R. S. Galloway, publisher of
the Presbyterian, the official paper
of the A. R. P. Church. The num-
Der of guests that Mr.. and Mrs. Gal
loway entertained at dinner on Tues
day was legion, and it was truly a
bountiful dinner, engendered of a
real southern hospitality.
On the return trip Senator Pollock
was one of the party, coming to Alb.
beville to catch the train for his
home in Cheraw.
