A SPLENDID SUGGESTION Sinco reading an interview with Mrs John Uary Evans, leader of the woman's suffrage movement in South ''arolina, we aro more inclined to tli.na that woman should be given the oower of the ballot. At least if all women thought as clearly and independently as Mrs. Evans expresses herself in an interview that EARLY TERMINATION OF 4USITANIA CONTROVERSY Ambassador Von Bernstorff and Secretary Langsing Had Conference. ] . i TIME IS ABOUT AT HAND ; It In Haiti Only One More Note Between the (.'lilted States and | Oermany Necessary. i Yvusningion, jan. 10.?Count von Bernstorff, the German ambuss- 1 ador, and Secretary Langslng had another conference in the Lusitania negotatona today which both agreed should be described as confidential The ambassador expects to confer with the secretary again within a week. The fact is taken by those conversant with the status of the case to mean that Germany and the I United Slates have approached a' point in the negotiations where onl'| one more exchange between Wash-j ington and Berlin will be necessar/j before the long controversy is end- j ed. i American olllcials described the j situation as "very hopeful'' and re-j fleeted the view that a satsifactor.v settlement is in sight which will In-j elude indemnities for the 115 Amer-i icati lives lost and some expression of regret or disavowal which will j be mutually satisfactory to Germany and the United States. ( president Wilson, Secretary Lan- * srtig and the German ambassador!' are practically the only officials in ' the secret of the negotiations, hut 3 it is known that the principal point ' which has been delaying the final ( settlement was the phraselogy. Get- f many has contended that the bert |5 disnvovnl she could offer was h >r, 1 orders to submarine commanders not 1 to repeat such an incident and that ' she could not disavow the action, nl-l ' though she regretted the loss of so i 1 many Americans. j 1 The United States has been con- 1 ' tending that the disavowal should be * expressed in some way. It is be ( 'ieved that a form of expression has 1 been found which will be satisfac- ' tory to both. 1 Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, had an engagement < to confer with Secretary Langsing t today and it was indicated that a fl- ' nal settlement of he Lusitanla con- j troversy was close at hand. l It was stated authoritatively today that the next step of the United ; Sfsves will he tn ask nil of the nlllei . of Germany to agree that no vessels , carrying Americans be attacked un- ; til passengers and crew have been | placed in safety. Exactly what pro- ] cedure will be followed was not re- ] vealed. The administration is said to take position that as Germany now has agreed in all the principal points of the position of the United States the only thing remaining to bring the negotiations to a satisfae-] tory solution is for her allies to follow her lead. The impression grows among administration officials that the nationality of the submarine or mine which sank the Persia will never be disclosed. WOUNDED BOY DIES; DOCTOR ARRESTED. I>r. Tlieo \V. Maddox, of Union,!, Charged With Manslaughter. Union, S. C., Jan. 8.?Following | the death of a patient, I)r. Theodore ( Maddox, a Union physician, was } Wednesday arrested and immediately released on hail charged with j manslaughter. The warrant was , sworn out by the father of Hulie ( Studdard, a lad of 15 years, residing a mill village here. Studdard was accidentally shot by Oliver , Austin, a boy of his own agef white they were hunting Saturday afternoon. Dr. Maddox was summoned to attend the injured youth. He applied "first aid" and left at an urgent call from another patient to whom 1- 11^.1 4 ? lie was guuiii wneii ihiicu ui uiej wounded boy. Two hours later, having answered the other call, the physician returned and amputated the leg. The boy died soon after the operation. The father claimed loss of blood was the direct cause of death, and that lack of prompt attention resulted in death. The physician says that he responded to the call even patient, and that he did to another patient, and that he did all that could be done at that time: to have operated before the patient had rallied from the shock would have meant almost certain deatn.

Mrs. Evans wants the suffragists tj work for "woman's freedom from fashion slavery." The interview reads as follows: "In connection with our work for the franchise, I would like to see 'lie suffragists of this whole country nake some serious effort to arouse \meriean women to rebel against jur present slavish submission to ridiculous fashions in dress,'' declared Mrs. John Gary Evans, lirst rice president of the South Carolina Rnlint Suffrnim l.oticriio In ilioono.inn ecently this question of such vital mportance in the present day social ind industrial life. Mrs. Evans or;anize<l the first suffrage club in South Carolina at Spartanburg and ihe considers that one of the reforms uuch to be desired from the socalled 'woman movement" is a greater inlependence in dress or a certain standardization thereof. "It is inconceivable that some women can blindly follow the absurd lictates of this unauthorized power "ailed style, without stopping to onsider that the things we are asked io wear are neither beautiful nor comfortable and often are a menace ?t our health," she said. "After beng hobbled by tigbt skirts for two /ears, we are now being hobbled jy high heel shoes, which are not inly grotesque in appearance, but so injurious to the wearer that physicians and scientists are sending a tote of alarm as to the possible ef'eet on the human race if women sontinue to wear these monstros ties. Please do not think 1 am advocating the adoption of male attire 'or women; such is not my desire, iut as intelligent human beings we should refuse to make monkeys of lurselves any longer?or be uncomfortable, as to that, by wearing furs 11 July and sheer maline and rhilTon douses in Peburary. "We should have some simple, comfortable style of dress and standirdize it as men have theirs, then we would have more time, money and energy to devote to worthier matters." The Herald heartily endorses Mrs. Ka vans' suggestion. In fact we think it is one of the most practical Hid sensible suggestions we have ieen in many a day, and we are glad it is a South Carolina woman who lias the courage to come out in public prints and denounce a foolish ind extravagant custom that has existed almost from the time the 'mind of man runneth not to the :ontraray.'' When Napoleon was at the height if his glory a biographer asked him who his ancestors were. The grea' 5eneral showed the force and originality of his remarkable character when he replied with emphasis "I nr. my own ancestors!'' So should i woman of force and originality reply to fashion's decrees: "I am my awn fashion." The woman who blindly follows the fashions as laid :lown by a small coterie of clever money-makers in fashions' centil'S not only lacks individuality but is absolutely without originality and Initiative and cannot become a leadt-r even among her own sex to say nothing of ever attaining to letadcr >liip among women of indepent Ideas who shape and mould the affairs of the world. We are glad to claim Mrs. Evans as a South Carolinian. She is a worthy leader of the Equal Suffrage League in this State, and the views she expresses in the foregoing paragraphs indicate that the suffrage movement will grow in power in South Carolina.Dillon Herald.
