Tile American noie of protest
to and Secretary
Bryan's resignation have been
the chief subjects t\r editorial
comment iorsever.il da.\s. It is
interesting to note tlr.it practically
all the papers agree that tfie
president was right in his firm
stand lor American rights, and
that there is such a wide difference
of opinion as to Mr.
Bryan's resignation. One paper
we pick up takes him to task for
deserting the president in a
grave crisis when his service
should have he en so much.
The next one justifies his act by
explaining that his deep rooted
principles of peace made it impossible
for him to conscienciouusly
sign the note of protest.
We have been a Bryan
admirer from our \outh up, and
it was with pleasure that we
rend of hi* *nli?nitiil Ii1 ?t f'r?r ?lw.
nomination of the right man in
the Baltimore convention, and
later of his appointment as
secretary of state. We have
observed, to some decree, his
work in this great office and
admired his splendid efforts for
peace anions all nations. We
are slow to criticise a good man,
but we have failed to see any
justifiable reason for quitting at
such a time. We fail to see
why he should sign ihe first note
to Germany and refuse to sign
the second, which was virtually
a repetition /Ot die first. The
scripture has something to say
? about the avian who -*nus Unhand
to the plow and turns
back. We admire a man with
principles and the courage to
defend them regardless of consequence,
but we do not see
why Mr. Bryan should insist
upon getting out because he
? ?' ? * ?
cuuiu nui win uvur me president
and the other cabinet officers to
his way of thinking. Mr. Bryan
was not the government, and he
would not have signed for Mr.
Bryan but for the present administration.
Mr. Bryan has added
one more mistake to his list.

Much Progress Made By Italian
Force.
The State.
In the three weeks that have
elapsed since the declaration of
war by Italy on Austria the
Italian forces have been making
slow but steadv progress. Their
efforts now are being directed
mainly at Trieste, with the peninsula
of Istria, in which lies
Pola, Austria's chief naval station,
as thqir great objective.
The Italians already have
occupied important strategic
points along the Ison/.o river,
which they have crossed, and
for several days a big battle has
been in progress.
From the Italian side it is re
ported that Plavn has been oc
cupied, but this is denied by the
Austrians. Pola has been visited
bv an Italian airship and, ac
cording to unofficial reports, the
arsenal has been almost destrov
ed bv bombs.
The Austrians are said to
have brought 45,000 troops and
04 batteries to aid their defenses
guarding Gorizia, Trieste and
other important towns. The
fortications defending Gorizia
have been bombarded and communication
between Gorizia and
the rest of the exception of a
mountain rdad. It is expected
that the Italian movement will
necessiatate the bringing of
heavy Austrian r?i GeriW'

Several Killed in Winntboro
Battle.
Wionsboro, S. C., Ju le 14.?
A. D. Hood, sheriff of Fairfield
County, and Jules Smith* a
negro who was to have been
tried today on a charge of attempted
assault, were killed and
eight other men were more or
less seriously wounded as a result
of an attack upon the sheriff
party as the negro was being
taken into court here this
morning.
Clyde Isenhower, alleged
leader of the mob, and a relative
of the woman Smith was charged
with attacking, Ernesi Isenhowr,
his brother, William Morrison,
a brother-in law, and
James Rawls, late today were
indicted on the charge of murder
as the result of the attack.
Clyde Isenhower was shot a
number of times. J. R. Boulware,
a deputy sheriff* received
a bullet in the stomach, Is believed
to be fatally wounded.
Smith was arrested in April and
officials here fearing an attempt
at lynching placed the negro in
the State penitentiary at Columbia
for safe keeping until
time for his trial here.
Sheriff Hood and his denudes
with Smith under close guard,
had reached the court house
this morning when a mob of
approximately 100 armed men
attempted to seize the prisoner.
The sheriff warned the mob to
desist but his order was disregarded
and some one fired a
shot at the negro. The firing
immediately became general
and lasted for about 10 minutes.
Clyde Isenhower died late tonight
at a hospital at Chester*
S. C.
Of the six others wounded,
Earle Stevenson, a young deputy
sheriff, received two bullets
through the left arm, one severing
an artery.
A special train was hurried
from Columbia here immediate
ly after the tragedy and his de
puty were taken to a Columbia
hospital for surgical attention
where Sheriff and di?d tonight.
Isenhower and Stevenson were
taken to Chester for surgical attention.
Despite his weakened condition
from the half dozen bullets
in his body. Sheriff Hood
led the prisoner up the stairs into
the court room. The negrc
dropped dead beside the dock,
and Sheriff Hood staggered on
to the bar where a court official
eased him to the floor.
Bryan Says Note Was Changed
After He Quit
Washington, June 12.?Of
ficial announcement of the delivery
of the American note to
Germany reiterating insistence
that submarine warfare conform
to rules of humanity and
international law was received
today from Ambassador Gerard
.it Itorlin
The message came at the close
of a day marked by a more op
timistic feeling in official quarters
that the German answei
would forestall any possibility ol
war between the two Nations
and also avoid a breach of
diplomatic relations.
Apparently there was a gener
al relaxation of tension in the
international situation. President
Wilson spent part of the
day at golf and lei it be Known
that later in the month he
planned to take a short ^vacation
at Cornish. No answer to the
Amerirnn r<?ir?ir?flor ie
. Vju.uvfvi fO bA^CLICU
for 10 days at least.
Former Secretary Bryan, who
resigned rather than sign the
second note to Germany, issued
another statement today declaring
that the note was materially
revised following the presentation
ot his resignation. The
revision, Mr. Bryan averred,
softened the note, but was not
sufficient to justify him in withdrawing
his resignation.
"It is true," said Mr. Bryan,
"That I saw the final draft of the
note just before my resignation
took effect, hut it contained an
important change. I had no
knowledge of this change at the
time mv resignation wa?* tendered

We appreciate the kindness of
Bro. Quick in filling our regular
Sunday morning appointment
at Pageland last Sundav. A
number have already expressed
themselves as being highly
pleased with the sermon.
It was the writers good for-!
tune to be in the ordination j
service of Bro. J. Frank Funder-!
burk at Dudley last Sunday
morning. This service was a
real "mountain top" experience
to us all. Bro. Funderburk's
experience and call to the
Ministry was of the clearest and
best we have eVcr heard, in fact
it reminded us of the experience
of "Gideon'* in days of old.
To him it was just as clear and
plain. After the Examination
prayct* aud laying on of hands
Bro. D. A. Brown, of White Store,
N. C. preached the sermon.
Taking as his text Paul's
tlhvipp in TitnrvtJn' nt> J ?1

in 2 Timothy 4:1 2; laying
special emphasis on "Preach the

heard it. I

WHY SHOULD 1
| WOMEN VOTE?
b$man'8 suffrage from the
f.viewpoint of leading
farmers.
Bftniy should women vote? That la
m? question that Is ringing from
Ejaui to ocean and reverberating from
^Canadian boundary to the Mexi k
border. It is the mission of a
Hppaper to give the news and the
Motion of the Texas Farmers' Union
^Opposing woman's suffrage when
question was recently before the
legislature is significant an
Bwrqeenting the attitude of the or(thaiced
plowmen. We re|)roduce In
Kft the argument presented by Hon.
W. ft I.ewis, president of the Texas
farmers' Union, in opposing the bill:
"It is gratifying to note that it is
not the farmer's wife who is clamoring
for the hnllot Sh? I Inn Kiiuu
trying to make happier homes, molding
the minds of future citizens and
Bharlng with her hUBband the cares
of life to Indulge In political gossip.
The ballot will give her no relief from
drudgery, give no assistance in clothing
the children or bring to the home
additional comforts, conveniences or
opportunities In life. It is. as a rule,
the city woman promoted to Idleness
by prosperity, who Is leadtng the_ suffragette
movement.
"From many standpoints, perhaps
a woman has as much right to vote
as a man. So has she as much right
to plow as a man; she has as much
right to work In a factory as a man;
he has as much right to shoulder a
musket as a man, but we would rather
he would not do so from choice
and we regret that necessity ofttimes
compels her to earn a living by engaging
In gainful occupations. We do
not consider misfortune a qualification
for suffrage or a business accident
a reason for granttng franchise.
We are opposed to woman at the
ballot box the same ae we are opposed
to woman In the field, In the
factory or in the army and for the
self-same reasons. We had rather
ee her plant flowers than sow wheat;
gather bouquets than pick cotton and
rear children than raise political issues,
although she may have aa much
right to do one as the other.
Opposed te Unsexlng Humanity.
"Sex qualification for suffrare mar
have its apparent inconsistencies. No
general rule adjusts itself perfectly
to all conditions. It is a favorite argument
advanced by the proponents of j
toman's suffrage that many cultivated
wo Safe a tnu tm
ble of intelligently exercising sovereignty
than a worthless negro, but
the South never was anxious for
I negro suffrage, and while culture and
I refinement, and even morality, are
desirable virtues, they are not the
only qualifications for franchise.
"The primary, inherent and inseparable
fitness for suffrage is supporting
a family. The plow handle, the
forgfc and the struggle for bread afford
experience necessary to properly
mark the ballot. Oovernment is a
great big business and civilization
from the very beginning assigned
woman the home and man the business
affairs of life.
"There has been much freakish legislation
enacted during the past decade
that no doubt appeals to woman's
love for the ridiculous, but to undertake
to unBex the human race by law
is the height of legislative folly aud
a tragedy to mankind.
"We are opposed to the equal rights
of woman?we want her to ever remain
our superior. We Consider
woman's desire to seek man's level
the yellow peril of Twentieth Century
civilization.
"Woman is the medium through
which angels whisper their messages
to mankind; it is her hand that plants
thoughts in the intellectual vineyard;
ft Is through her heart that hope, love
and sympathy overflow and bless mankind.
Christ?the liberator of womankind?was
satisfied to teach the lessons
of life and He was a man. He chose
to rule over human hearts and refused
worldly power and men followed
after Him, women washed His feet,
little children climbed upon His knees
and the Ruler of the universe said
tkat in Him He was well pleased.
Can woman find a higher calling?"
THEMISTOCLES
When Themlstocles was asked br
his host at a dinner party to entertain
the guests by playing the lute, ha
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make a small
lawn a great city. We have In this
atloQ many politicians who are good
"nadtora," but they cannot make a
mall town a great city. We are overran
with orators who can play upow
the paaaiona of the people, but they
ean't put brick and mortar together.
We need builder*.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
fover understand that the highest
glory of a statesman Is to construct,
and that it Is better for a man that he
should build a public highway than
that he should become Oovernor of a
state, and that he start a plow thaq
that he become the nuthor of a law.
The true test of statesmanship Is the
plow and the hammer, so let those
WH wwiM dOvetit. first build.

foUR PUBL
I?Intro*
Through the Frees Service of Agriculture
und Commerce, the master
minds of this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to deliver
a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk, and men
who talk seldom achieve. There is
no such thing as a noisy thinker, and
brevity is always a close companion
to truth.
It will be a great privilege to stand
by the side of men who can roll in
place the cornerstone of industry; to
associate ?. * men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of it, to commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization a few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
lenient of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
Crucify him." Mankind never has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
of its day. There never will be a
orown without a cross, progress without
sacrifice or an achievement without
a challenge.
This is an age of service, and that
man is greatest who serves the largest
number. The present genoiation
has done more to improve the condition
of mankind than any civilization
since human motives began their
upward flight. The Greeks gave human
life inspiration, but while her orators
were speaking with the tongues of
angels, her farmers were plowing
with forked sticks; while her phll- j
osophers wore emancipating human
thought from bondage, her traffic

The Home Fire Insurance
company, of New York, the
strongest company of the kind
in the country has added a line
of hail insurance for crops to
their business and the Pageland
Insurance and Realty Company
has the agency for this company.
Hail insurance heretofore has
not been very satisfactory
for the reason that only small
or local companies carried it,
and in case of general destruction
the company could not
pay the damage and remain in
bssiness. This strong company,
with millions capital, can pay
for all the damage that is likely
to occur in several states, however,
and anyone who insures

company may feel sure that the
