Col. Thompson, the Father Of Ward
Thompson And Well Known In
Abbeville.

Anderson, Oct. Aust 63 years
ago two men met. There seemed
kindred bond between them, but
they did not know that it would bind
them for that 63 years. Today Col
John Thompson, who has acquired
his title by his Confederate gray
uniform, heard from comrade
from Alabama, "Col." Tom Oliver,
saying that he would meet him next
week at the Confederate reunion in
Houston, for he intended taking the
first train to put him there in plen-
ty Of time.
Colonel" Thompson wired back
that he was leaving Saturday to rep
resent Camp Stephen D. Lee as one
of the delegates, would 60 by New
Orleans for a day and then on p
the reunion.
The Anderson man was a member
of Orrs regiment and enlisted with
an Abbeville company as he was re-
fused in an Anderson company BE-
cause he was too young and TOD
small for his age. He was just IT.
He was wounded in the first battle
that he was in, Gaines Mill, but be
went back and was captured at Get
tysburg. Colonel Oliver was with
Hoods brigade in Texas and they
had never seen each other during
the whole war, but were both cap
tured at Gettsburg and sent TO
Point Lookout. There they saw lot
of each other, for Colonel Thompson
says that they were just as free as
could be inside the high plank walls

was superintendent Of one OF the

Exact figures are not available on
the number of women over Fl but
barred from voting through various
reasons. Census bureau officials be-
lieve, however, that this year at least
100000 of the 5,250,000 foreign
born women in the United States will
not yet have become naturalized. In
addition there were in 1911 accord
ing to the census about 100000 Indian
women, most of whom were living or
reservations, 8,6O7 Chinese and jap
anese women ineligible to vote, a
comparatively small number OF Am
erican women married to alians and
barred from voting fcl that reason
and larger number deprived of
the ballot under state statutes in har-
mony with constitutional provisions.
The total of these ineiigibies was es-
timated at about 1900 900.
American women married to aliens
are not eligible to vote, the depart
ment Of justice has held. but foreign
born women married to American cit
zens or whose fathers have become
American citizens are entitled to the
ballot without naturalization pro-
ceedings.
The number of eligible male voters
in the United States this year has not
been determined. Based on an esti-
mated population of 1O5,OOO,OOO.
however, the census bureau figured
that there are now 34,8O7,000 men in
the United States over 21 years of
age. of whom probably 31,500,OO0
would be entitled to vote in Novem-
Ter.

REPORT OF SPLIT
IN PARTY RANKS
Borah May Have Quit Republican
Camp-Refuses To Discuss.

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, has writ
ten Republican headquarters at
New York and Chicago asking that
no more speaking dates be made for
him in the Republican presidential
campaign.
Senator Borah also has telegraph
ed Senator Johnson, Republican,
/ California, another of the league Of
nations irreconcilables, and is await
ing a reply. Mr.. Borah declined to
discuss the message, but there were
reports that it had to do with the
league of nations issue.
Senator Borah recently completed
a speaking tour in the interests OF
the candidacy Of Senator Harding,
the Republican presidential nomi-
nee. There was no explanation here
today of the reason for his messages
to the New York and Chicago Re-
publican headquarters other than
reports that he and other league op-
ponents had become disquieted by
the attitude of many party leaders
to the league covenant as drawn at
Versailles and submitted to the SEN
ate b y President Wilson.
The senator himself would not dis
Gus the matter. Senator Borah is
known to have received and to have
devoted much study to the interna-
tional court plan as brought back
from Europe by Elihu Root of New
York, who helped to draft it, and it
was learned today that the senator
is opposed to the plan. His opposi-
ton was said to be based largely on
the ground that the court was de-
signed as a part of. the machinery Of
the league of nations.
Published reports have had it that
Senators Borah and johnson were
planning to submit series of ques-
tions to Senator Harding, designed
to develop definitely whether in the
event of his election, Mr.. Harding
would "scrap the league covenant" ="
Senator Borah has stated that these
reports were "news to me-"
The Idaho senator will remain in
Washington the rest of this week,
and then will go to Connecticut to
speak in support of the candidacy of
Senator Brandegee, another of the
league irreconcilables, who is Of
fering for reelection to the senate.
Senator Borah also will hold himself
in readiness to speak in the interest
of other senators opposing the
league who are candidates for re-
election.

HARDING CONDEMNS
LAW ENFORCEMENT
OF Prohibition Law In Front Door
Speech To Women-Must Re-
spect The Law.

Marion, O., Oct. 2.-Lax enforce
ment of prohibition was condemned
without qualification" today by
Senator Harding in a front porch
speech outlining a policy Of organi-
zed federal effort for the promo
ton of social justice and welfare.
Addressing a gathering of women'
the republican nominee proposed es-
Enlistment of a department OF
public welfare" in the national gov
ernment and added that in his opin-
ion law enforcement was one Of the
important requisites of social pro-
gress.
"The enforcement of the law IS
an executive responsibility" ne
continued and must be undertaken
by the executive without regard for
his personal approval or dlsap-
proval of the law which it has been
the peoples will to enact. We must
have throughout the land a respect
for law-abiding principles. We must
all condemn without qualification
the failure of enforcement or prohl-
bition, just as we must all condemn
the failure of established authority
to prevent outrages Of Violence
such as lynching.
The senator asserted that he re-
rarded enforcement of law as a
Fundamental principle of the Am
erican conscience" but he did not
discuss the prohibition law at length.
In another part of his speech, the
senator warned against assumption
Of too much authority by the feder-
al government in welfare efforts or
in other activities, declaring there
was s'grave danger at hand when
centralized expression begins to
take from local communities of So
cial science.
Sketching his conception Of the
new federal department he said it
might be we'll formed in part by ocm
bining the various governmental bu-
reaus now dealing with the differ
ent aspects of social welfare. He
suggested that women should have
an important part in the work of the
department and mentioned materni-
ty care, child welfare, public health,
humane labor regulations and sta
bility of employment as questions
involved in social betterment.
The protection of the motherhood
of Americans cannot be accomplish
ed until the state and the nation
have enacted and, by their example
have neforced customs, which pro-
tect womanhood ITSELF" he said.
81 know full we'll that there are
women who insist that women shall
be treated upon the same basis that
men are treated. They would have
a right to take this position in their
own behalf, but l insist that all true
Americans must insist, that no wo-
man. speaks for herself alone. She
is the possessor of our future, and
though she becomes engaged in the
tasks and services of civilization, we
must preserve to her the right of
wholesome maternity.
"Next to maternity and child
hood, believe that our attention
must be centered upon our nation
al. health. We must attack, first a
low standard of health among chill
dren; secondly, the invasion of dis.
eases which attend a low standard
of morals; and, thirdly, the in
vasion of epidemics and the neglect
of the chronic diseases of maturity"

New York, Oct. 2.-Party leaders
at Republican national headquarters
here today secuted the idea that
Senator Borah of Idaho had "quit
the campaign" as reported earlier
in the day, on the strength of let
ter in which he is said to have asked
that no further speaking engage
ments be made for him.
"No letter has been received
here which indicates that Senator
Borah intends to quit" an official of
the Republican publicity bureau
said.
Several days ago we did have a
letter from the senator asking that
no more engagements be made for
him at present. We understood this
to mean that he had made engage
ments of his own, according to his
custom. Senator Borah has been
handling his own itineraries and not
working under our supervision.
There is no occasion for surprise
hat he should make such request. "
1t was pointed out that Senator
Borah has three engagements to
speak in Connecticut next week.
These have not been cancelled, it
was said. He is scheduled to speak
at Danbury on October 4, New
Haven on the 9th and Hartford on
the 7th.
Announcement was made today
that Senator Harding would be ac-
lively supported during the remain
der of the campaign by Gov. Frank
o. Lowden of Illinois and William
C. Sproul of Pennsylvania, both of
whom were candidates in the pri-
mary contest.
Governor Lowdcn will speak in
Ashcville, n. c., on October 1G, it
was announced, while Governor
Sproul will be scheduled for several
speeches, including one in West
Virginia on October 81.

SANTA FE DEFEATS MILKMEN.
Kansas City Players just Couldn't
Stop the Grounders.

When infielders of the Kansas City
Summe Dairy team learn to put their
feet together SO grounders will not
skip merrily between their legs, they
might come down and take another
shot at the Topeka Santa Fe team. In
the Memorial day game here between
the two clubs, however, the inability
of the Kansas City basemen to handle
hoppers Clearly resulted in their de-
feat, to 8, at the hands of the local
ball tossers.
Another factor in their defeat was
the pitching of Seitz, big Santa Fe
operator, who struck out nine of the
visitors and held them to scattered
hits. Long hits by Griffin and Peter
son and timely bingles by Herring
were also instrumental in sending the
milkmen home defeated.
Wilson. Kansas City hurler, pitched
creditable ball, despite a split finger
sustained in the fifth, but his support
was below par.
