WOMEN CAN NOW VOTE


Ratification of the suffrage
amendment by Tennessee now
makes woman suffrage constitution
al and women throughout the Uni
ted States will now have the right to
vote after a fight of years. Able
vile women can now muster their
forces and get ready to march to
the polls in November and vote in
the general election. An agitation
has been started in Columbia to Sc
cure a change in the party rules
that would permit the women to
vote in the primary elections to be
hell on the 31st of the present
month, but as yet but little headway
has been made and it is quite i'm
probable that there will be in time
for them to exercise the right of
suffrage at that time.
