WOMEN ARE REspoNoINe.

1t is an interesting thing to note
the quick response of the women of
the South to the opportunity offered
them to cast their ballots, in spite of
the repeated declarations of the ants
that, even if enfranchised, Southern
women would not take interest enough
TO vote.
The women of Florida have long
since disproven this. In the towns
which have given the women municipal
suffrage, of which there are more
than a dozen in Florida, the women
have been quick to take advantage of
the ballot. In st. Petersburg the wo-
men registered the men, and the
woman vote was large. That it will
be the same with the woman vote in
the national election all over the
South cannot be doubted.
Women in Alabama are lining up by
the thousands and the large number
of women who have qualified as voters
in Mobile county has aroused much
comment and interest Unofficial fig
ures have placed the total number
of women registrants at 1923 in Mo-
bile county, so far. These women have
registered at the special sitting of the
registra will have an advantage over
lister later, through legislative enact
ment, for those now qualified have
an opportunity to cast their vote at
Der "a, when a special levy will be
voted on for the support of the schools
of Mobile county.
Governor Kilby of Alabama has
gone on record as favoring the enact
Of a
cial session of the legislature which
will permit women to qualify as vot-
ers in due time to participate in the
general election in November.
According to Governor Kilby, the
declaration by Secretary of state Col
by that the suffrage amendment has
been legally adopted does not of itself
give to women the right to vote. 1t
merely prohibits any state from refus-
ing the right of the ballot to women as
a class. The various states have the
same right to prescribe qualifications
now as before the adoption of the
amendment, but they cannot discrim-
mate against the women in prescrib-
ing such qualifications.
The matter of qualifications is one
that the Alabama legislature is CALL
ed into special session on September
IA to pass upon. Ii was feared that if
the state does not enact the necessary
legislation permitting women the right
of the ballot in that state, that 1t
might endanger the legality OF the
electoral vote to be cast for Presi-
dent of the United states. 1t was for
this reason that Governor Kilby acted
hastily in summoning the legislature
into extra session.
Governor Cats is of the opinion that
the 18th amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States became eff
fectfve with its ratification by the
Tennessee House, and had in fact
been certified by Governor Roberts to
Secretary Colby and the latter had
promulgated the same. it has become
by such ratification a part of the Con-
stitution of the United States and
cannot be changed by any action on
the part of the Tennessee House Of
Representatives or by any other pow
or except the people of the United
States.

Real AItruism.

How many persons, when they walk
across a paved street and see a nail
or some object which would cause
trouble to an auto tire, stop and pick
it up? Do you? The writer often
times has done so-and has seen peo-
pie smile a trifle sarcastically. as he
did so. Yet he did it, not particularly
to save himself from possible tire in
jury later but to prevent somebody else
(unkonwn to him possibly from hav-
ing trouble. If everybody would follow
the practise, how much tire trouble,
how much tire expense, would be saved
for the drivers of cars. It's quite a
little satisfaction to the one who fol-
lows the practise in the thought that
perhaps he has saved somebody a lot
of trouble. Try 1t yourself and see
how nice it makes you feel.-Reporter-

show alligators ready to swallow pick

other scenes that might have repre-

Patriotic pride should prevent the
dealers from selling such stuff. The
board of trade went on record last

Wednesday evening in Fitzgerald
was that of Miss Ola Mae Martin
and Robert Lee Littlefeld, which
took place at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. NJ. Martin.
The living room where the cere-
mony took place was lovely in its
bridal decorations. An improvised
altar was erected E.efore an arch
of white, from which was suspended
a wedding bell under which the we'd
ding party stood. The pedestals
were composed of tall vases filled
with white roses, and the background
