The American note of protest
to (>omau> and Secretary
Bryan's resignation have been
the chief subjects for editorial
comment for several days. It is
interesting to note that practical- ,
ly all the papers agree that tfie
president was right in his firm
stand for American rights, and
that there is such a wide difference
of opinion as to Mr. i
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 been so much.
The next one justifies his act by i
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 jouth up, and
it was with pleasure that we
read of his splendid fight for the
nomination of the right man in
the Baltimore convention, and
later of his appointment as
secretary of state. We have
observed, to some degree, his
work in this great oflice and
admired his splendid efforts for
peace among 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 the first note
to Germany and refuse to sign
the second, which was virtually
a repetition /Of the first. The
scripture has something to say
about the . man who tua-hand
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 geiiing oui oecause ne
could not win over the president
and the other cabinet officers to
his way ot 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 steady 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 th^ir great objective.
The Italians already have
occupied important strategic
points along the Isonzo river,
which they have crossed, and
for several days a big battle has
itccu ui progress.
From the Italian side it is re
ported that Plava has been occupied,
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
64 batteries to aid their defenses
guarding Gorizia, Trieste andi
other imnortant tnuinc 'T'liI

fortications defending Gorizia I
have been bombarded and communication
between Gorizia and
the rest of the exception of a
mountain rcfad. It is expected
that the Italian movement will

Bryan Says Note Was Changed
After He Quit
Washington, June 12.?Official
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
at Berlin.
The message came at the close
of a day marked by a more optimistic
feeling in official quarters
that the German answer
would forestall any possibility of
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 antTTeF it be known
that later in the month he
planned to take a short ivacation
at Cornish. No answer to the
American rejoinder is expected
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 rt?cinrnat?i-wr>

"It is true." said Mr. Brvan,
"that I saw the final draft of the
note just before my resignation
took effect, but it contained an
important change. I had no

We appreciate the kindness of<|
Bro. Qmck in filling our regular;
Sunday morning appointment
it Pageland last Sundav. A;
lumber have already expressed
themselves as being highly
pleased with the sermon.
It was the writers good fortune
to be in the ordination
service of Bro. J. Frank Funderburk
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 eVer heard, in fact
it reminded us of the experience
of "Gideon'* ill days of old.
To him it was just as clear and
plain. After the Examination
prayer aud laying on of hands
Bro. D. A. Brown, of White Store,
N. C. preached the sermon.
Taking as his text Paul's
advice in Timothy as recorded
in 2 Timothy 4:1 2; laying
special emphasis on "Preach the
Word." The sermon was clear
logical and biblical making a
profound impession on all who :
heard it. J
After this Communion service!
and free will offering*?tkM
Aged Ministers amounting $6,461
It was remarkable to see the
large audience as attentive thru
all these services of more than (
two and half hours.
We must add that the success
of these services were due
largely to the wise planning of
their pastor Bro. B. S. Funderburg.
May the Lord of the harvest
hear and answer our prayer in
sending forth more of our
young men into His harvest.

WHY SHOULD 1
(WOMEN VOTE?
KAN'8 8UFFRAQE FROM THI
K3JPyiEWPOlNT OF LEADING
FARMERS.
should women vote? That
nMnuestion that la ringing from
Mfiijit to ocean and reverberating from
S^Banadian boundary to the Mexl^Efeorder.
It la the mission of a
(paper to give the news and the
ilHto of the Texas Farmers' Union
BflKposlng woman's suffrage when
H^nuestlon was recently before the
legislature is significant as
|lfi|senting the attitude of the orBBh#d
plowmen. We reproduce in
Blithe argument presented by Hon.
W. fi. LewlB. 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 ballot She Is too busy
trying to make happier homes, mold
ins the minds of future citizens and I
sharing with her huBband the cares
of life to Indulge In political goeslp.
The ballot will give her no relief from
drudgery, give no assistance in clothins
the children or bring to the home I
additional comfortB, conveniences or
opportunities In life. It is, as a rule,
the city woman promoted to idleness
by prosperity, who is leading 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;
She hss as much right to shoulder a
talttsket as a man, but we would rather
she 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 granting 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
see her plant flowers than sow wheatsgather
bouquets than pick cotton and
rear children than raise political issues,
although she may have as much
right to do one sb the other.
Opposed te Unsexlng Humanity.
"Sex qualification for suffrgge may
have its apparent inconsistencies. No
[general rule adjusts Itself perfectly
to all conditions. It is a favorite argument
advanced by the proponents of
koman'B suffrage that many cultivated
woiiba ave-fwr -agerwwsv^
ble of intelligently exercising sovereignty
than a worthless negro, but
the South never was anxious for
negro suffrage, and while culture and
refinement, and even morality, are
desirable virtues; they are not the
only qualifications for franchise.
- -
me primary, innerent ana inseparable
fitness for suffrage Is supporting
a family. The plow handle, the
forgh and the struggle for bread afford
experience necessary to properly
mark the ballot. Government Is a
great big business and olvlllcatlon
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 unsex the human race by law
Is the height of legislative folly and
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
civilisation.
"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 Ufa 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
that In Him He was well pleased.
Can woman find a higher calling?'

Whan ThemLstoclea was aaked by
bit host at a dinner party to entertaln
the guests by playing the lute, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he oould make a small

aatloo many politicians who are good
"fiddlers," but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are overran

Hail Insurance in Strong Company.
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
his crop against hail with this
company may feel sure that the
company will be able to pay
the damage. 'Idle cost is small
and nearly every man can have
his crop protected by insurance
if he will. Mr. A. F. Funderburk
will be glad to discuss the
matter with you and quote you
rates.
