LEGISLATION FOR WOMEN _____ Lad> Voters Have Strong Programme, to Present in January. | The legislative committee of the a South Carolina league of women voters y will have strong recommendations for new legislation to make to the South ^ Carolina general assembly which meets in January, says a Columbia dispatch. Mrs. C. Y. Reamer is chairman of the committee, and she states that she will 1 probably have the report of her com- \ mittee completed during the next few weeks. s The committee will probably meet this week with Governor Harvey, to confer regarding certain proposed q and needed legislation. The women will again this time ask for enactment of the Simonhoff bill, to require men to undergo physical ex- animations before being granted marriage license. This bill, introduced by Representative Harry Simonhoff, of . Charleston, has been in two legislative sessions already. In the 1921 session it found itself in a pigeon hole when the solons had all gone home. It was revived at the 1922 session and came ] close to enactment, but was brutally slain after a hard fight over it. In its ' original form it provided for exam- I inations of both men and women. Later the application to women was . eliminated and it was intended only ' for the male party to the marriage contract. However, opposition to it was strongly fostered, and the bill : breathed its last late in the session, j after a manly struggle lor me. The women also want a law to require feminine voters to pay poll tax. They say they have the rights Coughs and Colds' COME ANO GO.

C. !, A INTELLIGENCE OF JURORS Jpon That Quality Depends the Fate of Free Government. Ninety-six years ago Lord Lrouginm gave it as his opinion that "the I rhole machinery of the state, all the j pparatus of the system, and its varied workings, end in simply bringing twelve ; ood men into a box." That is, the jury J s the foundation of government. If he jury is rotten, the government to J hat extent, breaks down. If the Jury i sound, government is upheld uml trengthencd. I When a jury fails lo <lo its auiy, iu jf hdt extent it weakens the stability of J < ;ood government. If it frees a guilty . t riminal, it encourages the commission js f other crimes and stimulates the evil ;f eeds of other criminals. If it eon- j ( lets an innocent man. it lowers the najesty cf justice. It is for the Jury, ( nd the jury -only, to determine y rhcther or not crime shall be pun-f shed. Where juries fail to do their \ uty, crime flourishes, and human life ( nd property are unsafe. > In view of this immense rcsponsi- t ility of the jury, wielding the power s f life and death over those charged ( ritn crime, determining whether life i nd property shall bo safeguarded or j >ft at the mercy of criminals, the peo- j le have a right to require that all j jrors shall be men of high intelligence 1 nd character. 11 The man who wishes to leave his i ropcrty or his children in safe cus- s :idy is careful in selecting guardians f. or them. He docs not entrust them o a courtroom loafer, a vagrant, an y Hot, a feeble-minded person, a sympa- ; hizer with criminals, a bone-head > unipkin, a political worker, or an j ?noramus. He entrusts them to men y f 'high character and high intelli- j once. Nobody will question his sound udgment in following that course. Why should the people, the county, lie state, follow a different course? ( rhy should they entrust the adminis- i( - - . 11 ration of justice ana tne eniorcemem f the law to those who have neither ( he intelligence nor the character to 1 o justice or uphold the law? Yet that '1 s just what the people do. i' The people of South Carolina have 1 he power to command that no per- ( on shall serve on any jury in this 1 tate unless he possesses both reason- 1 ___________ ^ if citizenship, and they should be \ equired as are the men, to help in j ^ying the bills. I The women voters will also prob- < bly ask the legislature, as they have j sked in past years, for a woman's < milding constructed along proper i ines, in the state penitentiary. Gov- . rnor Harvey has endorsed this, and i e will probably discuss the matter j irith the women's legislative com- ] nittce. The women voters platform is also 1 ikely to contain a plank for edura- j ion, with a pica for liberal appro- ] riations for the schools, especially ? he rural schools. Liberal support f Winthrop college and the worn- ? n's building at the University arc [ iossible planks, though no definite < nnouncemcnt regarding these has \ a yet been made by the committee. < i i 4 I < RED ' 1 RUST PROOF WHEAT THIS IS IIOME RAISED WHEAT, nd we have only Thirty Bushels.

First, you ' atch /our cold. No instruction on this ooint is necessary. You will catch it without instructions, or in spite of hem. You will expose yourself to the weather, or fail to get cnotagh oxygen, )r get too hot, or get too cold, or stand within range of an open-face sneeezc, xnd the trick will be done. Once on the premises, the cold first manifests itself as a conviction that the world is going to the dogs. This is followed by sneezing, profanity and the hope that the world will go to the logs. This stage continues for twenty Tour hours. At tnc Beginning ot ui? second-stake the victim's mind gives way and he begins to describe his symptoms to chance acquaintances ind make notes of the remedies they suggest. The cold now makes itself at home and settles down for the season.
