0^ DISAPPROVES WOMAN SUFFRAGE I ronri with interest in Tuesday's Herald and News Mr. J. F. J.

P I firmly believe that every woman ' in South Carolina, even the South j alone, is too proud of, and true to her J virtuous and gentle Southern charac- j ter, to become influenced or followers j i of fhe Republican propaganda, in the form of woman suffrage leaders of the North and West. ! I will have to be convinced that the women of this State will ever desire to cultivate the custom of keeping anapp with every walk in life; nor rise |^L to demand equal rights-with the politHp ical leaders of the South. The women of South Carolina have their rights, the right to make Christian ,moral and educational homes for their loved ones?leaving man his right to make and grovern the laws for the welfare of our country.

I do sincerely hope that Senator Pollo<jk will not become Adam, to be tempted by the Eve suffragettes with their eatables and caressing flattery, this being one way of entering the heart is through the mouth, to meet , his noble heart, and become a traitor to his State. I take *or granted that every woman of this State will gently request ConK gress to avoid the adoption of the suffrage amendment; a poisonous step j to endanger and bring our State to total disaster.

CONVENTION i TO MEET AT FLORENCE Florence, Feb. 10.?Florence will be the host of the forty-second annual State Sunday School Convention, according to an announcement made here today At a nenthusiastic meeting of pastors and business men, an invitation was extended to the State .J Sunday School Association to hold f k their annual convention in Florence on June 3-4-5 Mr. J. B. Aiken, a * prominent business men, was elected ; general chairman of the convention arrangements. Associated with him as chairman and members of com / inittees will be some of the strongest \ business and professional men in Florence. , ' : The Sunday School Convention, held; annually, is without doubt the largest gathering of religious workers held in South Carolina. At the last conven- i tion, which was held in Greenwood, in addition to the 1,998 registered del- i egates, there were a" large number in \ attendance who did not register. The j convention will be self-entertaining, as was the case last year in Greenwood. , j LAWS PRINTED IN GERMAN j How the State of Indiana Catered to the Teuton Element in the Fifties x and "Sixties. Time was when the Indiana general assembly directed that its laws he 1 printed in German as well as in English?bnt never more, observes the Indianapolis News. In 1S52 the legislature enacted a statute that Its laws passed at tnar session should be printed in German And one copy distributed to each of } the clerks of the judicial circuits. By joint resolutions of the senate and bouse the session laws of the special session of 1858, the regular session of 1859, the regular session of 1861. the special session of 1861, and the regu lar session of 1867 were printed in the German language. The revised j^. statutes of 1853 were ordered printed Hp in German. . Mrs. Edward Franklin White of the j F law editorial department of the Bobbsfek* ^Merrill company, believes the printip ing of the a:*ts in German was no part f of the propaganda for "kultur," which has been so exposed of late, but she rather believes that Indiana was making a special bid for settlement by Germans along with other foreigners i who were westward bent. She says ' all sorts of inducements were held out in the fifties Jind sixties to attract colonization in Indiana and cites, as ; another of the inducements, the lax constitutional provisions (constitution of 1S52) for obtaining citizenship, or at least the right to vote. Civilization Fatal to Eskimo. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic explorer, to whom the Charles P. Daly medal was presented by the American Geographical society for his "valuable contributions to science," pleaded that no efforts be made to civilize the Eskimo tribes of the far North. All such previous efforts, he stated, had resulted disastrously for the natives. One tribe of 5,000 discovered in 2S25 ' by an English explorer, he said, was ^ now reduced to only 40 persons i through adoption of a civilized mode 1 of living, which was unsuitable for the ciime. 1 i ?j VARIOUS AXJ> ALL ABOUT The Columbia State says that the Dutch weather prophet talks and thinks the weather will be mild, with disagreeable spells in March.

The chairmen of the various count}' councils of defense have been sent certiorates expressing the gratification of the State Council of Defense for their xemplary work, the conclusion of which is as follows: "May the memory of a universal patriotic cooperation and earnest loyalty be present in the hearts of all who labored with you to the end that shall render increasing corrnVo in hia frtmmiiTlitv Sfatp an.l country." The Newberry board, lawyers and doctors certainly deserve the thanks and appreciation bestowed. The city council of Greenwood, says the Index-Journal, went on record as being heartily in favor of the movement to put an end to the parlor rifle practice. This was brought about by the wounding of a little boy by another little boy with a parlor rifle or air gun Of course the action of city council came too late to save the little boj from a near fatal wound, as it was near his heart, but it -will save th? lives of other little boys.
