Womans Suffrage Loses

Columbia, Jan. 28.-The Senate to-
day kissed woman suffrage goodbye
for the present, at least. 1t was so
quickly done that it may 60 down in
to history. States are calling extra
sessions to consider the federal
amendment. The South Carolina Sen
ate killed the Susan B. Anthony
amendment in ten minutes. Not a
word, not rally, not a complaint, not
a voice. 1t would have been Of no
avail. First, Senator Williams, Of
Aiken, called up his resolution reject
ing the proposed federal amendment.
At the moment Senator Christensen
was outside in conference and as
soon as he returned to the chamber
the vote was taken and the rejection
resolution adopted by vote of 80 to
4. This, however, was not regarded
as the main vote. Senator Christensen,
realizing the situation asked for the
ratifying act to be taken up to have
a record vote. Senator Johnstone ask
ed that the bill be read. This was
done, and then came the solar plexus
to woman suffrage in the record vote.
Four Senator's voted for the adoption
of the ratifying act, only four Sen
ators Christensen, Duncan, Shelor and
| Walker.

Writs a correspondent from Calf
ney: after procuring hair cut,
shave and shine at one of the barber
shops, the change which one gets
from a dollar looks very much like
thirty cents. The shave and shine
prices have doubled and the prices for
a hair cut has been increased from
TWENTY-FIVE to thirty-fve cents.
That's nothing! Unfortunats in
Kingstree who can't WELD their own
razor or cut their hair have been
paying these prices we'll nigh on to
a year, not counting the time spent
by each one in waiting his turn.

CIVIC LEAGUE ENTERTAINS
Members of Lake City Organization
Have Rousing Good Time

Lake City, Jan. 27.-Last week at
the school house auditorium the Civic
League met and had an entertainment
as an added feature. Th entertain
ment was prepared and enacted by
the members of the Young Mems
Literary and Athletic Club of Lake
City. This was the fifth play for these
meetings and each has been an i'm
provement over the one before. The
house was full and everyone seemed
to enjoy himself.
The entertainment was called Mig
ger Night" being comedy of fun
and frolic of the minstrel type, con-
sisting of little play called "The
Coon Town Thirteen Club" in which
at certain intervals one member had
to commit suicide. Music for the oc-
casion was furnished by Miss Miner
va Jones and Miss Ruby Smith.
Civic matters brought up and dis
cussed before this meeting were ques-
tions of: Better light and power sys-
tenn; cleanliness and better hygienic
conditions; "back your chamber of
commerce, which is backing you"
Mayor Whitehead in short speech
asserted that the conditions now ex-
isting in the town were the best that
had ever existed. He said that he was
hearing, as were all others in the
town, from every direction praise of
the looks of the town as effected by
the cleanup campaign held not long
ago by the men and women of Lake
City.--At this time every tree and
post and pole in and near the town
was whitewashed.

SOLDIERS BACK AT WORK

A year ago at this time, many peo-
pie were worrying as to how 4,000,-
600 men could be absorbed from army
life back into peace time industry,
without creating disturbance.
1t is amazing how this great shift
of occupation has been accomplished
with no outbreaks whatever on the
part of ex-service men. The soldiers
instead of creating trouble, have
shown themselves a great stabiRzing
force Even if they did not get work
at once, they have been patient and
self controlled.
There has been a lawless and de-
structive spirit in this country, but
the soldiers have had no part in it.
Among the trouble makers have been
many slackers who could have gone
but didn't, and who pulled down high
pay while the soldier boys fought
and died for s1.00 a day.
Thus the country owes the soldier
a second great debt. It, should do
what it can to pay it, by finding work
at once for every one of them.
