ne was glad to bring to the south a
real message OF assurance that the
country was indeed around the curve
arr moving steadily and surely for
ward On the road to more prosperous
conditions. THE business outlook

than it has been for the past two
years. We are we'll rid of business
and industrial forth, and in a posi-

stantial lines. We are ready to start,

productive enterprise, but should have
nothing for speculative adventure.
There has been wonderful improve

bulwark of prosperity and the sheet

WOMAN IN POLITICS
Lady Astor Monopolizes Interest oi
the Pan American Delegates.


Baltimore, April 22.-Almost all the
young ladies and the older ladies at
| tending the Pan-American Conference
l,of women rseemed'to quit listening att
E'tentively TO the speakers as soon as
Lady Astor appeared on the platform
this afternoon, less than ten minutes
after she had stepped off q train from
New York.
She had hardly taken her seat when
she began making short comments of
approval on the statements Of Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, the suffrage
leader, who was then addressing the
delegates. Hear, hear" or That's
Right" Lady Astor would say from
time to time.
Finally, after two South American
delegates had spoken, Mrs. Gait
pounded the table and said:
Lady Astor, I've presided over
many a meeting, but l never had so
much trouble in my life as have had
since you came in this room. None
of these reporters is interested in Wo-
man Suffrage, but only in you. So
Wen have to let you talk now and
then you can leave and give the re-
porters their interview, and / want
everybody to stay in their chairs"
my accomplishments are entirely
due to the work women did," said
Lady Astor. 1T is through the labors
of those who have gone before that 1
can now carry on my work for the
reconstruction of the world.

l sometimes almost feel it shame
for me to be representing them in the
House of Commons. You see, Lady

That was done by others, and we
younger ones who are enjoying the
fruits ought always to be thankful to
them. During the movement | was
busy populating the world" referring
to her six children.
Mrs. Gait had just remarked that
South America, n Catholic land, is the
only continent where woman has not
yet achieved suffrage.
THE Catholic suffrage women in
England have a time of it," said Lady
Astor. II can't for the life of me see
what having the vote has to do with
religion. Why l think the creed that
all men and women are equal is the
saving grace of religion.
IL have been quoted as saying /
didn't think much of the Washington
Conference. Think much of the
Washington Conference! Why | think
it was the beginning of civilization
The whole world is looking. to Wash
ington, and the whole world is going
TO keep on looking to Washington.

grateful to President Harding, to Sec
retary Hughes and the Administra-
ton"
Then Lady Astor went to the press
room to see the correspondents. I'M
mediatelv about 300 women posed as
reporters and circled around her. as
that your House of Commons dress?"
a girl said TO Lady Astor.
Lord. no, child. This is the best
dress, I've got" she replied.

But one thing is certain about Rus

communistic theories. Those things
are well enough to talk about and
even experiment with for revolutionary
purposes; but now that the old capt.

- Greenville Piedmont: Asserting
that the MormOns of the United States
have recognized the fact that Green

Mrs. Lula Sheppard is quoted as hav-

during the past week that the Nor

the construction in this city of a Nor
mon temple second only to that in Salt
Lake City, and larger and finer in
every respect than any other Norman
temple in the country. Mrs. Sheppard
is quoted as having said that her in
formation on this subject comes from
a direct and authentic source and that
there can be no doubt us to the temple

The time in which York county must
so over the top with her cooperative
marketing proposition is short and II
she fails to go over, none will regret it
more than those who may have refus-
ed to sign.
The rats in South Carolina destroy
enough wealth in the course Of year
to pay the state and county taxes
People kill rats sometimes as a matter
Of amusement; but very rarely as a
matter Of business. The man or wo-
man who succeeds in arousing the
people Of York county to a real, honest
campaign against rats will have the
credit of having done a great deal for
the people.
Rock Hill and Fort Mill have done
the right thing in electing some women
delegates to the county convention
The logic of the situation is clear. The
right to vote carries with it the duty
to vote, and since it is now the duty OF
the women to vote it is we'll that they
should have a working knowledge OF
how the political machinery is operat
ed. The business of the county con-
vention this year will be purely of a
routine nature so far as can be judged
from any indications that have been
observed up to this time, and there is
no promise of undue excitement.
Nevertheless the occasion will be
worth while to the women delegates
and it is to be hoped that all who
have been elected will give their at
tendance.

Christian r. Rakovsky, one of the
Russian big Five" at the Genoa con-
ference, is especially blunt apd direct
in the way he says things. 1T is
strange" he says, ito see England and
France pressing so hard for the pay
ment of the Cars. debts, when neither
England nor France seems to be try
ing to pay her debts to the United
States-not even the interest" And
to be perfectly fair about it, there is
something in that. If England and
France would pay their debts to the
United States, the interest charges
that are now being met by the Ameri-
can taxpayer would be reduced one
half Both England and France
acknowledge their debts. They have
to do that because if they should sug-
gest reputation, they would be able
to collect nothing themselves; but they
are not paying and it is quite doubtful
as to whether they will ever pay.

To See Rampolla
Statue Finished
Late POpe's Desire

Rome, Mar. 14.-Some incidents of
the last two days of the illness of the
late Pope Benedict XIV. have just be-
come known. At intervals he was de-
lirious and these were followed by
periods of lucidity. He talked to the
prslates at his bedside, about Various
subjects so widely different with so
little pause between them that they
were unable always to discern wheth.
er he was in full poss ession of his
faculties.
A few minutes after he had told
Professor Battistina, Il. would gladly
give my life for the peace of the
world" he turned to Cardinal Gaspar-
ri and said: "One of my greatest re-
grets upon leaving this earth is that
shall not live to see the completion
of the statue Of Rampolla, my great
Master"
At another moment, evidently think
ing Of his nephew, Della Chiesa, who
had insisted upon seeing the pope in
spite Of his own serious illness, he
kept repeating, "Poor boy, roor boy,
who knows whether he has enough
money to pay the cab to bring him
here The Della Chiesas are consid-
cred to be fairly well-to-do..
The Pope had taken the initiative
last year of having a statue erected
in the Vatican grounds to Cardinal
Rampolla, had examined the plans and
drawing himself and often called to
watch the sculptor at his work.
