If the good city Of Tampa would
devote less time to the search for Utop-
ian perfection in its charter, and a
good deal more time and attention to
the protection Of its streets from MUIR
derously minded auto drivers, it would
make a much more favorable impress
sion upon the occasional visitor.

Just as we long ago predicted, the
negro women are not going to cut any
special figure in the coming election in
Florida. Judging from registration re-
turns their votes will be offset by the
votes of the white women, with fifty
per cent margin to spare.

Among the unimportant announce

that after the lst Of November the de-

What would happen if the cotto
growers should cease to grow cotton
DR.. Roy Thomas, Professor of Chem
istry at Winthrow college. N. C.
took up that question, in a serious &C
dress before the New York branch Q
the American Cotton Association, an
argued that the chemists of the worl
would be called upon to find subst
tute.
The question, however, is purel
academic. Cotton growing is not g
ing to cease. Some southern farme
may be wise enough to diversity the
crops. planting corn and potatoes, an
forage plants in their cotton fields, an
raising hogs and cattle-and they wi
be the fortunate ones. But the gre
majority will keep right on the san
old line, cultivating and selling cotto
and grumbling about the price, uni
the fibre gets down to its old prev
level. No use worrying about if;
chemistry is laundering for the create
of substitutes, it can find sufficient j
spiration in the eighteenth amendmer

The Election Here Tuesday

The election Tuesday in this county
passed off very quietly. At kingstree
there were only 140 votes cast. OF
these ten were by white women.
Four colored voters cast their ballots
for Senator Harding. Tickets for the
joint resolutions to be passed upon
failed to arrive and no vote was cast
on the Constitutional amendments as
a consequence. Several of the reso-
lutions were of much Importance to
Kingstree, and it is to be hoped that
they were voted on favorably in other
counties where tickets were supplied.
