WOMEN NOT ALLOWED. I Aiken Municipal Club Refuses to Let the Pair Ones Cast Votes. Aiken, Oct. 16.?Friends of equal suffrage here are indignant over the action of the Aiken municipal club Tuesday night in voting down an amendment which sought to admit women voters to membership, this action disqualifying these recently enfranchised voters from participation in the municipal primary of November 1. The club is made up of white voters and accepts members from any political party on its roll. But when the amendment was offered to the constitution which would make white women eligible it is charged that steam roller tactics and gag rule prevented the matter coming before the body for discussion. The amendment was lost by a vote of 61 to 50. AlKen win nave une muuiviyai pnmary on November 1 and the second one two weeks later. A number of candidates have announced for mayor, aldermen and commissioners of public works. There are enough women voters in Aiken, had the club admitted them to membership, to have had a considerable influence on the election of officials. There were a number of women present at the meeting Tuesday night and all resent the rejection they had at the hands of the club's steering forces. Although starting in a modest way, it is said on good authority that there is a municipal unrest just at the present in Aiken which may # break forth at any time with volcanic fury. STABS BROTHER IN HEART. Sumter County Negro Claims He Acted in Self Defence. Sumter, Oct. 16.?A quarrel that ended in a tragedy grew out of a dis pute between two brothers, Elias and James Singleton, about five miles out of Sumter. The two brothers were laborers. There was no eye witness and only Elias remains to tell what happened. From his tale it seemed that the two were gathering hay when they began to quarrel over the fact that a horse belonging to Elias had been found in the corn patch belonging to James. Things had gone pretty far when Elias expressed it as his opinion that it made no difference if the horse was in the corn patch considering there was no corn there. James then attacked him with a pitchfork and Elias protected himself wit* his knife. The knife sank deep in the heart and the man was dead before a physician arrived. NOTICE OF ELECTION.
