orders on hand which will require
full running time for several weeks
for their completion. The increase

Woman was an independent creation
and was intended, If She chose, to
live aloae, to walk alone, act alone,
think alone and fight the bnttlo of life
alone. The Bible says: "It is not good
for man to be alone" but does not say
anything about woman being alone.
The fact that there is such a large
majority of women in the world today
proves that they are the greater and
will soon be the guiding spirit in all
that takes place.
1t is easier for woman to be a
Christian than man because her
heart is more responsive to the plead
ings of divine love. The fact that she
can more easily become Christian
can be proven by the statement that
three-fourths of the members of the
Churches in all Christendom are wo-
men. So God has appointed them the
chief agencies for bringing this world
| back to him.
think that woman is indeed great
| er than man and l heartily agree with
the writer who said: "The hand that
rocks the cradle is the hand that
rules the world"

Plans are about completed for a

clubs will march. There will be other
attractive and spectacular features Of
this big parade. Sumter county wants
the teachers and school children of
every county adjoining Sumter coun-
ty to be with us on Sumter County

in strcssing educational advantages
and creating interest in city, town,

think that woman is greater than
man for good many reasons. First,
that from the beginning of time down
to the present day, women have been
famous in all fields of endeavor, and
Notwithstanding her civil and political
handicaps, many of which still exist,
she has accomplished quite as much
and great deal more than men.
Second, Woman was chosen to be
the mother of mankind, and also the
mother of the infant Christ, love to
remember that; "Not she with trait
ious kiss her Savior stung. Not she
denied Him with unholy tongue-she,
lille apostles shrank, Fcodld dangers
brave-Last at the cross and earliest
at the grave" For these great dis
tinctions, I believe, to her was given
the qualities to be the nobler, tend
er, and greater.
My opponent may say, that the
country we are now living in, would
have remained undiscovered had it
not been for man, but, remember had
it not been for woman pawning her
jewels to finance him, even his ships
and provisions could not have been
purchased to begin the voyage. See

history, and her memory will last for
ever in the Western Hemisphere, as
the emblem of one of the greatest and
noblest deeds of history.
Then again history tells us of Joan
of Arc, noted maid Of Orleans, known
as the savior Of France, who led her
country on to victory. Wounded in
battle and finally taken prisoner she
died the death of martyr-being
burned at the stake, where she heroicly
met her doom.
Also Cleopatra queen of Egypt, who
reigned under the patronage Of julius
Caesar.
Then there is the worlds first war
nurse, Florence Nightingale. From a
girl she attended the sick and needy
and in the Crimean war became
famous as the worlds first war nurse
She found favor with kings and
queens, and was the indirect founder
of the Red Cross of today.
There are many women writer's who
are famous, the whole world over, and
in fact women surpasses men in art
of any kind. Take for instance Rosa
Bonheur famous painter whose Won
derful paintings occupy an important
place in the famous art galleries of
the world.
Then other spectacles of women's
lives that illume history-are famous
Queen Victoria who was one of the
most popular rulers of history, Clara
Barton who was the organizer of the
American Red Cross, Emma G. Will
| lard first woman educator and first to
| advocate higher education for womel.
and first to substitute kindness for

American battle hymns. Susan B.

tertained and implied by some that

appendage or an afterthought-evi-

created is false thought. They per-

the animals of the earth and the fowls
