vested in Liberty Bonds, Savings
Stamps and other forms of govern
ment obligations. They represent
only a portion ofrthe results to the
nation of the promotion of thrift as
national habit.
In commenting on the saving sit
uatien the Financial American says
mo doubt the government has
reached many who formed savings
habits in the war period when pa
triotism impelled them to buy Liber-
ty Bonds on installment payments
and Thrift Stamps at regular inter-
walls. The education in economy thus
acquired now serves to react against
extravaganza of living and fever of
speculation that carried many
Americans beyond the bounds of
prudence in 1919. The great army
who worked at home to finance the
war should find satisfaction in this
result. Their war effort of 1917 and
1918 served far better than the i'm
mediate effort to win the-war. Its
influence is still busy among us cor
recting the evils that the war Gre
ated."

How Savings Now
Have Been Increased

Savings depositors in the national
banks of the nation have increased
over a million in the last ten months.
That is an increase of over 10 per
cent and brings the total of savings
depositors in the national banks to
s,s65,0O0. Together they have saved
over three billion dollars.
What did it,
The habit of thrift, is what the
bankers and financiers answer. Fos-
tered by the savings division of the
treasury and encouraged by safe in
vestment in government savings Sc
curities, the people of the United
States are turning from extrava-
gance and waste to saving and in
vestmept.
In the Western states time de-
posts far exceed the checking ac-
count in the banks. This condition
has been obtained, says the finan-
cial American by vigorous promo
ton of the savings movement during
the period of prosperity.
These figures are exclusive of the

Judge DeVore Says Women
Should Register.
To the Edgefeld Advertiser:

To the Edgefeld Advertiser:
Whether fright or wrong, wise
or unwise, there have been enough
States to ratify the Amendment to
the United States Constitution CIV
ing and granting to women the
right aud privilege of voting.
The National Democratic Party
has always been in favor of grant
ing this privilege and are now ad-
yislng and urging every loyal dem
ocratic woman to qualify herself
for voting, especially in the Presi,
Dental Election this fall. This
being so it is net only the right
but the duty of every woman with
in this State to qualify herself to
vote, and in order to do so, it is
necessary for her to register in ac-
cordance with the laws of this
State. This does not mean that
she must vote but that she may do
so, if she desires or it becomes nee
essary.
Very respectfully,

Circuit Judge.

Whaley Addresses Women's
Clubs.

The following clipping comes from
the news columns of The State. We
repeat it because of its sane views
and that our people may see how
our prominent men think on this sub
ject
"In an address on citizenship de-
livered before the Business and Pro
fessional Women's club, Judge MS.
Whaley cited the question of thevice
district, which question is prominent
in the minds of Columbia's thinking
population at the present time, as an
instance which emphasizes the neces-
sity of women taking advantages OF
the privilege which is theirs of regis
tering and voting,
"Judge Whaley's talk was brjet
and to the point. He first dwelt upor
the technicalities of the Democratic
rules and Of registration and voting
explaining the difference ssee..S7een the
Democratic primary and the genera
election. He said THAT it Is hot i quest:
ion now of whether women want It
vote or not, but that the thing has
come and it is the duty Of every wo-
man TO register and vote. ~.
'Much of the terrors connected
with voting in some women's mind is
that of jury duty he said. Judge
Whaley believes that the legislature
will exempt women from jury duty OF
else make it optional with them, but
he said that if women ask that they
be exempted they VIII be delivering
up a right that they should exercise
because there are numbers of cases
where a wornan jury is badly needed
No right he said is without its respon-
sibilities. He spoke of the filthy con-
dition of the court houses, and said
that he, himself, did not feel that
women should be asked to do jury
duty in such places.
"Judge Whaley said that women
should not think they are being drag
ged into politics simply because they
register and go to the poles and vote,
and he also said that women should
not sell their votes"

If your better half objects to your
registering, use the wise tactics OF
queen Esther. Feed him three days
.on the best at your command and he
will let you have your own acorn and
half of his own! But to be seriously
minded, it is your duty and one over
which he has no right to interfere,
besides, don't let him stop you by
threatening to quit if you start. After
sober reflection we conclude that
yours is worth more than his, per-
haps, and you should choose the lesser
evil.

Face Reduction of Representa-
ton Unless Women of South
Carolina Register and Vote :.
November.

By vote of the congress of the
United States and three .fourths OF
the sovereign states of the union
the women of the United States
have been given the right to vote.
While there is no law las in Bel
g1um) forcing anyone to vote, the
necessity of correct working dem
ocratic government demands that
all qualified members of the electo-
rate cast their ballots at the proper
time. The idea of voting rests on
the theory that the best ways to
protect the interests of each indi-.
yidual is to allow each person a
voice in determining the policy of
the state. Thus under the old sys-
tenn of manhood suffrage every
man voted, or else allowed the in
terests of himself and family to
suffer through lack of representa-
ton; under the new system of unl-
versal adult suffrage the duty of
protecting the epecial interests of
the family units devolves upon the
female as we'll as the male. Neg
lect to register and vote, and in the,
long run you will suffer because the
vote of your husband will not equal,
the vote of another waman aud her
husband.
Besides it should be realized that
women as class have certain spe-
cial interests to be advanced and
protected only through their exer-
else of power by the vote. We need
the action of the women of South
Carolina in order to advance social
legislation: Child labor laws, pen;
sions for old mothers, Institutions
for the helpless, and countless other
reforms of social nature have as
yet hardly demanded the serious
attention of the laws tender part
of the population.
A more immediate and sectional
reason why our women should reg!
lister and vote is the necessity of
showing the North in the year of;
census taking and consequent re-
apportionment of representation
the largest possible vote. Accord
ing to the Nork Nation the Repub-
lican Chairman of the House Com
mittee on Reapportionment of Rep
resentation is using all his iDfu-
ence to have southern representa-
ton in congress reduced proper
tionate to our voting strength as
compared with the voting strength
of the northern states. Under the
second section of the Fourteenth
Amendment. Congress has full
power TO do this very thing, which
might involve the reduction of the
South Carolina representation from
five to two, even one member. This
movement can have the wind taken
out of its sails only by full vote
of both sexes.
Regardless of the number of pop
ular votes cast in the November
elections, the Democratic candidate
for president, provided be wins by
plurality of one, will get the full
South Carolina delegation in the
ELECTORAL college, Yet it should
be the ambition Of all loyal South
Carolina Democrats, male and fe'
| male. to show our choice for presl'
dent in decisive and overWhelp!,
Ing manner:

Register And Do Your Duty,
Vote For Righteousness.

Vote For Righteousness.
However lightly we women may
view this new duty, new responsibility,
or new privilege, it does not change
the seriousness of the situation. We
have "Come into the kingdom of such
a time as this" and it does not matter
what our attitude toward voting is,
we should religiously study the politi-
cal conditions, and vote for right
:eousness.
Have you ever stopped to think
that the enfranchismeent of so many
women at this critical time hasn't just
happened, that above the human there
there is the Divine.
Were you to decide to make gar
ment you would begin to assemble
your material. First you would decide
upon the pattern and then undertake
to select your goods, your trimming,
your thread your pins and needles
scissors and so on. God also works out
by pattern the things that come to
pass. What part in his plans are you
taking of your own free will? Are you
"a tangle in the divine thread, or rust
upon the needle; or are you the wax
that makes the thread run smoother
or the emory that polishes the needle?
Ask yourself this Question, place
yourself-are you governed by prin-
-cipal or prejudice?
Many of our greatest men and
women fear that our civilization is
trembling on the brink of disaster,
and is it, too much to suggest that the
salvation of our national life lies in
the hand of woman? BY what right do
you withhold your part? What excuse
have you for drawing about you your
selfrighteous skirts and passing by on
the other side? Too many otherwise
good men have already followed that
policy, preferring to live oblivious to
the political demands of their country
and are patting themselves on the
back, while unctious pride oozes up
every pore.
We can rot plead that politics is too
dirty. That fact is your call to duty.
Wade in and clean up things. What
though you befoul your garments you
can change them? Even tho you
should become submerged, you will
make a good mudsill for the struc-
ture that is to be; there is more honor
in that than in tipping the dome!
You say not very promising pros
pect, but why haggle over your own
political prospects when the salvation
of nation cries aloud for sacrifice!
/" Each succeeding generation sets its
ideals, and the indications are that
money and fame will not figure ex-
4cept when linked with sacrifice, and
the men and women Yho eontrllEbu1t!e: =!
most to their generation in sacrlfieiaI
service will be most honored. Be Jo-
an of Arc, Deborah, an Esther if you
must, but if not, then be a good
conscientious, intelligent citizen apd
do your duty and the country will be
safe. Do not follow men, but follow
what they advocate if it is good, if not
turn them down. The studies in citi-
%zenship are open to every woman who
will use them, and the registration
books are also open to all who wish
ito register up to the eighth of Octo-
..ber. Secure your registration certifi-
ecate now while you can and do your
duty.

FREIGHT RATE
INCREASE COMING

Intimation of an increased freight
rate is being issued by the various
railways, and there will be an in
crease of from "a to 81 per cent with
in a short time, and this will doubt
less add to the cost of living The
latter rate the highest per cent rep
resenting the increase, will apply to
this state.
One of the chief reasons as giveH
for the necessity is the inability to
operate railway lines and recognize
the high wages offered the workmen
These We're brought about during the
time the government had the railway
service in hand, and when returned
it is claimed there has been decided
change, since it is a recognized fact
that the railways cost the government
much money, and the railway officials
are seeking to place the business at
last on paying basis.
Reports issuing from the coal
mining companies in the eastern part
of the state have been persistent and
to the effect that they have been able
to procure only sufficient cars to move
coal to enable them to operate their
mines from two and three to four
days per week. These have been
found to be substantially true in ma
ny cases.
The continued promise upon the
part CT the railways of better ser
vice has resulted in nothing but the
promise having been realized. It will
soon be time for coal cars to be in
even greater demand, and in the mean
time the harvest in the west is cas-
ing call for cars by the thousands
reports being issued to the effect that
IS per cent of the wheat will have TO
be stored on the farms, as 2 result
of the lack of cars. It is with diff
Guilty that the grain is being harvest
ed
Automobile dealers have long since
given up the waiting game and re
sorted to driving their cars through
to dealers and purchasers, and they
are continuing the service.
