Have you registered? Are you interested in clean govern ment? Then register and vote. Read what Dr. White says, and then do what he says-Register. An Atlanta telegram gives the in formation that the new woman vot ers are to fight for the enforcement ;of the prohibition law. The new wo men voters are to fight for the en forcement of all laws.-Augusta Chronicle. When such men as Dr. C. E. Burts, Blackwood, Currell, Morse, D. B. Johnston, and Gregg stand by the women of South Carolina, whom shall they fear? They that be for us are greater than they that be against us. One issue of The State lined up these great educators with the wo men ni an aggressive way. There is Dr. White of Anderson, Dr. Ramsey of Greenville, Dr. Cromer of New berry and scores of the teachers and superintendents all over the state. It is getting quite common to admit sympathy with the woman's move ment now since they can count so many friends among the leaders. Watch the little fellow pop over. a great injury and a great inequali ty of political power. The sooner this new obligation of womanhood is taken up conscientiously and dis charged intelligently, the better it wlli be for public morals and good government. I strongly advise the women of Anderson to qualify them selves at once according to the law, and to do it, whether they want to or not, out of a sense of duty. JOHN E. WHITE, President Anderson College. New York has a new voter who is 102 years old. She is going to vote .and is making a study of the candi dates so she will be sure to vote right. ./ A Patriotic Obligation. The proclamation by Secretary Colby, of the Nineteenth Amend ment to the constitution of the Unit ed States, ends the long struggle for .woman's suffrage in this country by establishing the full and equal cit izenship of women. Whether one was opposed to or in favor of woman suf frage, it does not matter. The re sponsibility of government through the ballot box rests upon men and .women alike. The only question that now confronts the voters is whether they will neglect or evade that re sponsibility. I do not see how it can be evaded or neglected by any citi zen without shirking ? patriotic ob ligation. We are told that a great many women do not want to vote. There are also a great many men who do not want to vote. It has been con sidered a great evil that so many otherwise good men have stayed away from the polls. It will prove a great evil if otherwise good women shall follow their example. The exer cise of the franchise is more than a right to be contended for; it is a duty to be accepted and performed in good conscience. I hope every good woman will avail herself of the opportunity to discharge the moral obligation of voting. In the states of the north and the West there semes to be no doubt ?of their doing so at once. In the south, and in South Carolina espe cially, the failure to do it will work A New Duty For Women. Our best women should certainly vote now that the responsibility is theirs. It is only in this way that great evil to the State can be pre vented from the innovation. Some have thought that no good could come from woman's suffrage and for this reason they have sincerely opposed it. Without expressing an opinion on this, one way or the oth er, we may be permitted now to say that we are sure that those who held this opinion do not want their fore bodings to come true. They do not want to see evil come from the vot ing of women. And they ought to do what ?they can to prevent any possi ble evil resulting. But evil will cer tainly come if large numbers of our best women remain away from the polls and allow "the other kind" to represent the womanhood of the State in the election of our officers. Voting may be a repugnant duty but it is none the less a duty. There is one thing we can all take for grant ed, and that is, that the ballot will never pass from the hands of woman. The thing is settled, and whether we have favored it or opposed it, we must make use of it.-Baptist Courier. ? Register at Edgefield. On account of the absence of any county funds which would be avail able to pay the expenses of the com missioners of registration to open books at various precincts in the county, they will he . open only at Edgefield and all women desiring to register must come, to. Edgefield to do so before the 29th of September. It is useless for me to reiterate to sensible women the importance of registering as so much has already been said on this subject. A call has been issued to the Democratic Women of the nation by the Democratic campaign asking that they each con tribute $1.00 for the purpose of try ing to avert the castrophe of- elect ing a Republican president. This re quest has nothing to do with suf_' frage. It is simply a patriotic meas ure at the time of a great crisis in our country and even women who hesitate to vote will be willing to give this much for the cause of Democ racy. Send yuor contribution to Mr. Allen at the Edgefield Bank or to Mr. Padgett at the Farmers Bank, or to Mr. Asbell at the Peoples Bank and it will be forwarded by them to the proper authorities.

E. H. F C Who Will be to Blame? There are 531 electoral votes to be cast for president, a number corres ponding to the number of senators I and congressmen in Congress. Three hundred and thirty nine of these come from states other than South-] ern. In these states women are regis tering in great numbers. The older) ?suffrage states are in this number. In most of the Southern States, [the timidity and conservatism of the women coupled with the ' opposition and prejudice of the men are keep ing the women from registering and' voting, and what will be the result? When the count comes in from the November election, "there is graffeJ danger thi t we may have our rep! sentation reduced unless we make a better showing at the polls than is now indicated. The chairman of that committee, a Republican, has already suggested such action. The Southern States average low er per citizen than any other section of the union in voting strength. Rarely ever at a general election, do the male citizens of the South take the trouble to poll over 4 to 10 per cent of their voting strength. Since the ratification of'the 19th amend ment this average will be still lower.' Who will be to blame if we lose out in the scramble? . 1 The very men who are too indif ferent to trouble themselves to vote will waste precious time grumbling at the outcome and will be blaming the women for not registering and voting. Get yoUr regis*nation certificate and be ready to do your duty on No vember 2, and be blameless. Cardinal Gibbons urges all women to now vote, reversing his opinion^* pressed in a former statement. He says, though he has been opposed be cause he feared it would withdraw women from a more delicate and sacred pursuit, since it is here to stay he advises them to do what they | can for material and social progress. A Sad Death. Mr. and Mrs. McGowan Simkins | were the recipients of a telegram on Saturday morning from their daughter Mrs. Graydon in Colum bia, announcing the death of her) son, the little grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Simkins.
