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.
The verdict or the coronera jury
waa that the lad canie to hia death
"by misfortune accidentally."

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

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

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

ties. Please do not think 1 am advocating

"We should have some simple,
comfortable style of dress and standirdize

we would have more time, money

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
