Gov John Gary Evans Urges Women to Vote. John Gary Evans, of Spartanburg, jormer governor of South Carolina, made a forceful address before the Crescent Community Club and the Woman's club of the Fifth ward, the guests of the Crescent Club, at the home of Mrs. W. B. Moore, on Au gusta street yesterday afternoon. Prior to Mr. Evans' speech, Mrs. Moore introduced Mrs. Henry Allen, pr?sidant of the Fifth Ward Club who spoke briefly on the accomplishments of her club during the past year. Mr. Evans said that he had made political speeches in barns, lofts and street corners, but never before in the shelter and atmosphere of a cul tured home, and he saluted the day of "home politics" and all that goes with it. The burden pf his address was a strong plea to the women to enroll, to vote, to put forward women can didates. "Women should not stay out of politics and exert an indirect influ ence; you should have women in your delegation-women who have made a success of their own affairs and who are familiar with the affairs of the county and state-call them 'brides of the state' if you will," said Mr. Evans. He impressed upon the women that this is the most important election that voters have been called upon to take part in since the war between the states, and based his assertion, first upon the financial reconstruc tion that will have to take place in the administration of both county and state affairs. He cited the fact that lower part of the state has not yet paid 50 per cent of the taxes due, that the state has a large debt, that every educational institution owned by the state will come up with a defi cit; hence only the ablest financiers must hold the offices, men who have sound judgment on the tax question and its adjustment. He stated that it would probably be necessary to tax like the Europeans, "coming, gwine, and in the middle, too." Women should further take note of the crimi nal organization that exists-what amounts to an organization, Mr. Ev ans charges. He read an actual form for application to the "Association to Repeal Prohibition," in existence, wherein the members actually com mit themselves to vote only for the candidates who stand pat for the re peal of the Volstead act. "See that you women put a man-or a woman -into office who gives assurance that he is standing for prohibition, and one who won't turn the bootlegger loose, either." School Funds Out of the $12,000,000 that the state spends for the education, high er and lower, for its children, there is provided an average of not quite six months schooling; properly ad ministered this sum should secure an average of nine months, he said. Mr. Evans also drew applause when he stated that the women should see that something is done about a system that allows the men teachers to draw almost twice as much pay for the same work, with the same education, that a woman draws. Judge Evans' criticism is that there is to loose ad ministration of the county affairs; that the county governments should be scrutized more closely. Will Get His Vote. The Spartanburg lawyer and for mer governor was most positive in his statements that the good women who are out for office will get his vote. "I don't know one who is run ning who is not competent. I am go ing to vote for a good one for the state superintendent of education and for the superintendent of Spar tanburg county." He impressed upon the women present that if they did not make a considerable showing on election day the thugs, the man who stands for graft, waste, bad govern ment, will meet it with an "I told you so. All they care about is dress. They can't think. They won't think. They don't want to vote." He urged strongly the enrolling of all women on Saturday, set aside throughout the state as "Woman's Day." Mr. Ev ans stated that the politics-in-the home air that pervaded this summer's election called to mind another scene he had witnessed. At the inaugura tion of the last governor, he stated that legislators of South Carolina sat around with their feet on desks smoking cigars or cigarettes as their tastes inclined, filling the air with fumes while the most sacred oath of th 2 state of South Carolina was being administered. He branded it degener acy and awaited the actual entry of women into the administraion. Greenvale News. J. S.

In the spring of nineteen-twenty, It had rained most every day And the 'brooklets, creeks and rivers I Rushed in torrents on their way. It was on the fourth of April In the Easter even-tide That eleven youngsters ventured O'er Savannah wild and wide. . . (Chorus) They have crossed, but not Savannah, Yet beyond this veil of care When their friends have crossed the river, May they find their loved ones there. Not a dream of lurking danger, Not a tear stood in their eye, Not a farewell kiss to mother, Nor a father's last goodbye. Forth they went in quest of pleasure, As so often youngsters do, In the bloom of youth and beauty, Brave young men and maidens true. They had gone to Harpers' Ferry, For they lived not far away; And the boatman's wife was teacher Of the district school, they say. "Let us cross the brimmnig river," Someone yelled in youthful glee, "It is well," the others echoed In a voice of ecstasy. All were on, and then the boatman With his young and lovely bride, When the flat was loose from anchor, Started for the other side. Now the strong and goodly cable Held the flat boat in its place, But the rough and angry waters1 Showed that time had left its trace. When they reached the mighty cur rent, Which with wondrous swiftness ran, Then the cable post was broken; Thus divides the work of man. As the flat swung down the river, Half restrained and partly free, Then the air was rent with screaming And with cries of agony. Soon the goodly flat was sunken; They must sleep but not to dream; Eleven start and ten are missing On that voyage across the stream. One was left to tell the story, Thomas Bradshaw was his name, But the missing live forever In our memory's hall of fame. Two of them were Misses Bradshaw, They were sisters, understand; Mannings three, two girls and brother And a boy named Sutherland. Lester Waters, too, was missing, With his young and lovely bride; Charles Mechine and Alice, also, Perished in that loss of life. Easter, night was swiftly falling As the tragic news was borne To the loved ones of the missing And the friends who came to mourn. After days of tireless searching, Through the sunshine, rain or chill, In the bosom of Savannah Three of them are sleeping still. Gone are they, but not forgotten; Change is wrought by fleeting time; In the bloom of youth and beauty Is the temptor's sweetest chime. Let us heed this note of warning, As the path of life we plod; Then, my precious friend, and reader Oh, prepare to meet thy God. "HAZEL EYES." Progress. Near the Town pf Up-Against-It, in the land of Root-or-Die, We have found our finest, inspira tions, You and I; Toiling up the hill called Have-To, with Compulsion for a guide, We have made the sort of effort that was never yet denied. In the way were Can't and Couldn't, with their brother, What's-the-Use, While our dearest foe, Born-Weary, seized with joy each poor excuse; Yet behind us, unrelenting, drove our heartless master, Must, And our feet essayed no lagging, spite of Hill or Heat or Dust. It was there we grew the sinews for the struggle, You and I, Near the town of Up-Against-It, in the land of Root-or-Die. ? Near the village Up-Against-It, in the land of Root-or-Die, We discovered possibilities undream ed, You and I; Were there heartaches in the juor ney, little then our master cared, As along the stony highway, under whip and spur we fared. Bread and Butter trudged beside U3 with a keen and ruthless goad, That should quicken halting footsteps if we loitered on the road. Pride and Spunk, two comely sisters, lured ns on with mystery wiles, All the master's welts were painless as we feasted on their smiles. So our hearts grew strong to con quer, as we plodded, You and I, Past the hamlet, Up-Against-It, in the land of Root-or-Die. W. S..G. HEATH. Buy a FORD and bank the difference.-Adv. ..
