There is no greater menace to our future here in America than that of Woman Suffrage. It is useless to cite history against it to those who so en*Knein<atir?flllv advocate it. for the past is for them obsolete, out of1 date, and can teach this enlightened age nothing. For them history is ( - ^ the scaffold of the completed building. But some of us still believe in like the cast-off skin of the snake, or; * i the lessons to be learned from the experience of the past; especially:1 when they are confirmed by the j course of events happening in our ) own day.

Susan 8. Anthony, Anna; Shaw,, Mrs. Catt, and the rest, have' not disguised their sentiments. When1 the "ftev." Anna Shaw was presi-' \ dent of the National Su? zge Asso> ciation, \?he said she believed in woman suffrage whether it made women neglect their children, "or never; antr /ikiMvAtt " At a Motinnftl UVrc i>iiuvuvu> I Suffrage Convention, , Professor W. , L Thomas, of Chicago University, told' his borers that "any girl men-1 tally mata^Lhas a right to mother-' hood, an<^^^ woman's assertion of her Tight : ktherhood is a revolution tha and no one can stop it" He meant what another advocate pat jn^lainer terms: "a rv time when there wiff be no husbands 1 . . *nd no marrying, but every woman' will be a law xmto herselfi and there pM' will be free mothers m a* ' free i ? " ^ A- . WW. ? ' wopw." - rroi.- idoidm . views, Anna Shaw said:' "Political i 5 emancipation is not theRonly emancipation. I believe Professor Thomas took the proper place to -present his views." A noted writer in The Yale Review, speaking of the effect of the movement to enfranchize women in the west, says: "Owing to their po- | litical and economic awakening, j N gins m western towns arc icaumg I 'free'. lives, and lausrh at all efforts to restrict them to the old American ? code of morals." Verily, as Judge I Lindsey recently said, "It is time to | call^a halt." Many States in the Union have < "Woman Suffrage, and what has it i done for them? The record is about j ?ven as to the moral effect of the fe-1 male ballot. In a few places it has | aided reform, but in as many other places it has supported vice; homeloying women, busy with the vital j duties of their homes, failing to vote, and every bad woman in the country j isroing to the polls. With all the Wo- [ men Suffrage there is no twoman i member of congress. Colorado had J a fit, and sent Miss Rankin to Wash- j ington, and she did the only woman-, ^ i i i. 3 J ? ly zmng sne couia ao, sat aown auu 11 * boo-hooed about something. She doubtless felt like a fish out of water j and that was what she was. Now it j is reported Colorado is seriously, thinking of repealing the law. There j is bound to be a reaction, because [ woman in politics is contrary to the j eternal fitness of things, Brother' W. Smith Martin to the contrary,! notwithstanding. The average Am-j rican woman has no tjme for poli-1 tical duties, and it is cruel to impose 1 * them upon her. It is not a question j of her intelligence, or capacity, or right. Those are false grounds on j which to put the issue. It is a matter' of refusing to put duties upon her1 that are incompatible with her pri- ( mary work in the home, and to thrust her out into the arena of public life. Thank God, Texas men ; are not ready to admit that a wo-1 man's welfare is not safe in their nanus. llcie ill uyuuwuft nc V not want the slimy thing. It is the biggest issue now before the nation; bigger than the whiskey question, bigger than the labor question, bigger than the race question for the extent that it wins, it introduces free love, nullifies marriage, subverts the morality of the homes and instead of the pure, sweet womanhood that has exalted America above all nations on the face of the earth will give us a debased type. Present my regards to Brother W. Smith Martin. Kirkland, you are a lucky chap not to be a pastor now. Some time ago I saw a little pig running along by an old fashioned rail fence?we have a good many of that sort out here yet?and hunting for a crack to get into the field. He was squealing like his little pig heart would break because he could not find a crack big enough to squeeze through. Well, that little pig is the pastor of today. They have built up a high close fence of "specials" around his pulpit, and he hardly knows where to get in a sermon on the Gospel. I have an ex* * i i tra waste basket nanay. While we are jubilant over the Centenary success, let us ponder over the solemn figures sent out by Dr. Thomas, showing that we gained only 19,000 members last year. Millions of money and only thousands of converts. Feminism, bolshevism, whhiskeyism, devilism in a thousand forms threatening us, and we trying to dyke out the flood with dollars! The old Methodist altar is the surest safe-guard against them all. But then we have a new age, and new leaders, and the "new sociology" is going to tiirn all jack-rabbits into lambs, and bring in the millenium on a tin lizzie! Mansfield, La. FALL IRSIH POTATOES. i ... ... Preparation, Planting and Cultivation. Clemson College, June 25.?As the time approaches for the second crop of Irish potatoes, land should be selected and prepared thoroughly, so that when planting time comes in July everything will be in readiness. A rirh aandv loam is oreferable, but almost any well drained soil will grow potatoes, if the land is well prepared and fertilized. Thorough preparation consists of deep turning followed by harrowing until a complete pulverized seed-bed is formed. Rows or deep furrows should then be laid off 3 to 3 1-2 feet apait and well thrown out with a turn or shovel plow.

In the use of comjmercial fertilizer, a complete mixiture containing an excess of potash , should be applied. Because of the jshortage of potash, the element of jplant food most needed in excess in potato production, liberal applications of well rotted barnyard ma.nure will be found to be very effective, in helping to reduce this [shortage, and to correct the physical (condition of the soil. j Barnyard manure should be apj plied broadcast, 8 to 10 tons perj acre, and thoroughly disced into the j iSOil.

Preparatory to planting, reopen the furrows and drop the tubers or parts of tubers 14 to 16 inches apart ;in the drill covering to a depth of j i 3 to 6 inches, depending upon the j [character of the soil,?heavier soils planted more shallow than lighter ; soils. Packing the soil about tliej - - l _ . j ! __ I tubers, either by stepping airecuy f upon the tuber when dropped, or by use of a light roller following covering, insures a much better stand. , If tubers of the spring crop of the current years are used for planting the second, or fall crop, "sprouting," preparatory to planting, will ,be very helpful in obtaining a stand. | This may be done by drying the tujbers 10 to 14 days and spreading iupon the ground in a cool shaded ! place, covered with . straw to a depth of 3 to 6 inches and watering sufficiently to saturate the straw but by no means such as to cause ? i - i jthe tubers to become arencnea. Frequej^L shallow cultivation, either by ilarrowing across or with I the rows, should be given at intervals of one week, or as soon after each rain as soil conditions will permit, until a good stand is obtained; after which, such as may be necessary to keep the crop in a high state of cultivation. Under normal conditions, from 90 to 110 days from planting will be required to make the crop, i ? ] Transmission of electric power to the city of Stockholm from the new power station near Untran is just beginning.
