Death of Miss Artelia Posey.

o nSunday afternoon, October II,
lat I 80 o'clock the sweet and gentle
spirit of Miss Artelia Posey took its
flight from earth to heaven, it's abid-
ing place.
The funeral services were conduc-
ted on Monday afternoon at her
home by her pastor, Rev. A. C. Baker
and Rev. w. S. Brooke of Johnston.
"The way of the cross leads home"
and 81 Surrender Alp were sung.
The high esteem and love for the de-
parted one were shown by the con-
course of friends who gathered to
pay this last tribute. At the conclu-
sion of the service the body was car
ried to Philippi cemetery for inter-
ment.
The .casket was literally covered
with flowers, among them being some
from her Sunday school class and W..
M. U.
She had packed her suit case to
visit relatives in Columbia and was
delighted over the thoughts of her
trip to the city, but God IN His wis
dom saw fit to- call her to a more
beautiful city, city not made by
hands, eternal in the heavens.
She joined Philippi Baptist church
in her early childhood and has been
actively identified with its work ever
since. She always took leading part
and consequently she became one of
the brightest lights in Christian work
i'm the community.
Well can it be said chat she was
faithful to the end for she only miss
ed two Sundays from her post of
duty at Sunday school where she
had been teacher for twenty years:
Thirty-three years ago there rested
.on her the responsibility of helping
care for her motherless sisters. No
sister was ever more loyal to a lit
tie family than was she. In later
years she displayed the same loving
Interest in their sons and daughters.
She taught IN the public schools
for several years. 1t is not surpris-
ing that when she fell asleep a few
days ago strong men and gentle wo-
men whom she taught years ago,
many of them now with grown chill
tdren, grieved when they received the
sad tidings of her death. After her
.home-going her loved ones heard on
every hand, of the many deeds OF
mercy she had done. Her. service
was rendered so quietly and modest
ly that her left hand scarcely knew
what her right hand did. There are
many friends here and there who will
ever hold her in grateful remem-
brance because of the practical ex-
pressions Of her love. and interest.
r The dominant note of her life was
,,nselfshness. Her greatest concern
was not for herself, but for those
to whom she was permitted TO mln-
lister.
Glow quietly beneath the sod,
Sleep those who've maoe theii
peace with God;
No fears torment eacn slunioelei .
No anxious cares disturb their rest.
There they await the trumpet's
sound, ---'--"
When they shall rise with glory
!. crowned,
Shall rise as heaven at first design
Their imperfections leave behind.
oh may my sleep be such as theirs,
rJnbroken till the Lord appears
70 hid my dust from earth awake,
Ara HE own glorious image take" "

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Feb. 27.-
Ratification of the Susan B. Anthony
suffrage amendment to the Federal
Constitution by Oklahoma as the thir-
tythird state was declared complete
tonight by Governor j. B. A. Robinson
The approval of thirty-six states is
necessary for adoption. West Virginia
is expected to ratify tomorrow.
The Oklahoma Senate late to-day
passed the ratification resolution with
out the emergency clause, which would
have placed it beyond the reach of re :
erendum, by vote of 2o to 13. The
emergency clause, requiring two
thirds majority, or thirty votes, was
lost by five.
Governor Robinson said that whether
the emergency clause is attached to the
resolution makes no difference. He
declared there was no way for the
ratification proposal to be submitted
to referendum at the August primary
as the Senate resolution now provides.
Consideration of the resolution, as
amended by the elimination of the
emergency clause. is expected to be
taken up in the House Saturday and
defeated. Thereafter it will 20 to con-
ference. Suffragists believed tonight
they could bring sufficient pressure to

for adoption. If they succeed in this
the irrsgularity caused by the Senate's
action to-day will be ironed out before
the adjournment at o'clock Saturday
evening.
After the reading Of many kilograms
urging the passage of the resolution
at the opening of the session, Senator
J. ]. Smith raised a point of order
aoainst the consideration Of the pro-
posal to submit the suffrage question
to vote of the people for confirmation
after the Legislature should ratify. He
said Congress had specified that the
amendment should be ratified by the
legislature and it could not be referred
to popular vote.
Senator R. l.. Davidson. of Tulsa, in
opposing him, declared the Legislature
could prescribe any method it chose for
the ratification of an amendment sub
mitted to it. Lieutenant Governor
Trapp submitted the decision upon the
point of order to the Senate, which
upheld Senator Davidson by a vote of
20 to is. The Lieutenant Governor said
in submitting the question that the
amendment to the reso!u-
tion was an attempt to prevent ratihea-

Lady Astor Backs Votes
Bill in Second Speech
Girl, l8, Wiser Than Man, 25.
She Says; Measure Passes
Second Reading

LONDON, Feb 27.-The Labor nartv,s
bill extending the franchise to women
on exactly the same terms as applied
to men passed through the second read
ing OF the House of Commons unani-
mously to-day. This means it will 90
to committee for possible amendments
and again come before the House.
The bill provides that the present
voting age for women-thirty years
be lowered to twenty-one, making it
the same as the mems voting age. This
would add 100000 voters to the
register
Lady Astor made her second sneecb
of the week. She announced herself in
favor of the bill, declaring it was not
for the sake of the women that she
wanted the bill, but for the sake of the
country.
Every one knows a woman of eioh-
teen is far older and wiser in many
ways than man of twenty-five" said
Lady Astor
She then touched on her election to
the Commons, saying:
Some one has referred to the Ply
mouth election as circus. Well. I can
tell them the lady who was elected was
not the clown"
People who do not want women In
public life are behind the times" she
continued. There are certain reforms
women want and they are going to gst

the compromise railroad bill to Presi-

was no constitutional objection to it
Walker d. Hines, Director General of
Railroads, for his opinion.
Mr.. Hines has made study of the
measure since it first was taken up in
conference between the House and Sem

about the best legislation that could
be obtained under the circumstances.
Although there has been no intima-

the railroad bill, Administration Off

1t. He is expected to take action soon
The President has before him re-

Spring is here. Winsted, Conn, says
so.
Despite zero weather and heavy

robin of the season has done his duty.
For more years than most newspaper
men remember the venerable bird has
risked chilblains and pneumonia and
appeared February 81. He did it again
this year, bulletins from Winsted an
nounced last night.
White headed and limping, but with a
look Of devotion in his eye, the robin
clambered up on barberry bush yes
terday and struck a spring-like pose.
He held this at great self sacrifice un-
til Martin Crossman saw him. He is
now in a serious condition in Mr..
Crossman's barn. Physicians say he
may recover, but that his age is
against him.
The piping of frogs, Winsted's cor
