DUTY TO REJECT ANTHONY MEASURE Correspondent Says South Carolina Legislators Should Say "No" Promptly and Positively. The State. How resolutely the advocates of the Susan B. Anthony amendment ignore the interests and the rights of the South! With what insulting impudence they call upon our legislators to disregard their oaths to preserve support and defend the constitution of the state! Is it possible that any of those advocates are so blind as not to see that that amendment, if ratified, will make the negro women legally qualified to vote? And are they so obstinately heedless as not to expect that the enfranchisement of the negro women will be followed by a like qualifying of the negro men, by the enforcement of the 15th amendment, which is still in the constitution of the United States? And can they not read and understand the plain provision of each of the amendments that the congress of the United States shall have power to enforce such enfranchisement? And can they not see this power of congress deprives every ' * ^ i.. 1_ o stale 01 lis power to reguiate voting: And are they so stupidly obtuse as to disregard our terrible troubles during Reconstruction caused by the negro vote in the South? Or do they not know what in South Carolina and . in one other state the negroes outnumber the white population, and that in states where the majority in the whole states is white, the negroes are in the majority in certain coun1 n/1 oon'f + V>oTT coo t)lO /^SJnOrPT* ?iiiu van v ww va?v that, even in counties having a majority of whites, factions of white men may combine with negroes? sharing offices with them, of course ?and thus overcome the decent white vote and give the negroes the balance of power? just as the populists of North Carolina did with the Republicans years ago and beat the Democratic party of that state? I have heard of white women, otherwise sane, who, when reminded of the danger of the negro vote, have flippantly tossed the matter aside by savings "Oh, our white men will take care of that!*' How? By force? Or by fraud? If those people are as wise as they wish us to think them, they should tell us how to keep the negros from voting. They are working to force a medicine upon us; it is their business, not ours, to find howto prevent evil consequences from it. As it is, they are trying to turn the devil loose upon us and then leave it to us to manage him. Oh, foolish faith! Oh, crazy credulity! That, however, is about as wise as the assumption of a late senator from South Carolina, that congress would make laws to suit us. And nowT that crowd are after! every member of our legislature, to i flatter, tempt or scare him into voting j for ratification of the amendment. And among them comes their man, xioiner o. ouiiuiinigs, wuu Happens to be chairman of the Democratic national committee, who tells our legislators that the success of the Democratic party this year depends upon their ratifying the Susan B. Anthony amendment. What is at the bottom of this? Why, it means that our legislators shall surrender the rights and safety of our people in order to carry favor with the women of states where women already vote. The plain duty of our legislators is to reject this amendment, promptly and in positive terms. They will therebv stand true to their oath of office, to preserve, support and defend the constitution of their sate and render that state a worthy cause. n t ^ ^ ^ . li j. r. j. ^aicweii.

Hallman, D. D., Lutheran minister, will be of interest throughout the state: The Rev. S. T. Hallman, D. D., pastor of the Lutheran church of this city, is not only one of the leading ministers of his denomination in the South, but is one of the best violin makers in the country. He follows the latter as an avocation for his own nleasure and as rest from his mental labors. Dr. Hallman has made a number of very fine violins and has repaired a ?reat many others which have been sent him by instrument lovers throughout the country who have heard of his skill in this line. Some of the violins which he has made wi~h his own har.ds rank with the best in The country. He lias just completed one wMch '.z pronounced by violinists here to be o^e cT ti ' ''iov havr ?vcr hi'.nd-1 le t It h-* ; a i sv?*cr>t i no. 7 :i r.

Height and company, large violin makers of Brooklyn, X. Y., as a token of appreciation of his excellent work. The young member of this firm was a member of the Twenty-seventh division and was stationed in Camp 1 Wadsworth for several months and ^ T^_. TT.. 11 was a irequent visitor m ur. nan; man's home. The top board of the violin is made from a piece of wood | known to be 125 years old. and this, j Dr. Hallman says, proves to him that ; the age of the wood rather than the age of the instrument itself is the I real secret of the tonal power and nl <-1 vinlins Ui luovvt *v* v*v* ? Some of the musicians of Spartanburg ; who have played on the violin which Dr. Hallman has completed say it is | an instrument of unusual merit and , of remarkable sweetness and power, j and they predict that it will live in | history. j In addition to his violin work Dr. : Hallman delights in any kind of skill' ed wood work. He has hundreds of 1 tools in his little shop, most of which ' he made or designed himself, and Iwhen he is not engaged in his study i or in his pastoral calls he can usually ! be found in his shop working with his ; hands. He would have been a great ! artisan if he had not entered the j ministry, his friends say. He does ! not look upon his manual labor as I work at all, but as rest and recreaJtion, and he says it keeps him young and fit for his real work. CONGRESS MAY FIND NEW ROUTE TO PEACE Gulf Between Senators Grows Wider?Treaty May Go to Voters. Washington, Jan. 20.?Possibility j of the introduction in Congress of a j joint or concurrent resolution declarj ing the war with Germany at an end ! loomed tonight, following a sharp j break in the compromise conferences j which have been trying to adjust disj agreements between Republican and ! Democratic Senators as to the word! ing of the Lodge reservations. The assertion of President Wilson that he was willing to submit the I /-.noo+irtM nf t-Vio nHnntinn nf the oeace j treaty with the league of nations covenant to a vote of the people, which has been approved by Senator Johnson, of California, and other political opponents of the administration, has led some Senators to believe that this may perhaps be the best solution of the treaty controversy, i To Renew Trade Relations. In the meantime, it is pointed out, j something should be done to stabilize trade relations while the treaty issue is still undecided and a resolution declaring the war at an end is one remedy which has been considered by both sides in the controversy. Open rupture today of the ieaders; conferences was averted temporarily! of l*?ocf Kv nacsircr nvpr thp disnute ' AVUWV, ~ , the Lodge reservation regarding ; equality of voting in the league of j nations. The bi-partisan conference will meet again lat* tomorrow, but i with leaders of botn faction-? doubrful as to the possibility of ultimate agreement. Mild Group Impatient. Prospects of failure of the leaders' conferences and of formal suspen- : ! cirm nf tVioir sessions todav moved "mild reservation" Republicans and a ! few Democrats, not members of the : leaders' committees, to discuss inde-: pendent steps toward a solution of j the treaty situation. One "mild res-: ervation" Republican spokesman said j such a move would be forthcoming if: conferences of the leaders fail within a few days to give more assurances : I of a compromise. j j Participants in today's conferences of the informal committees, of which there were two, said an impasse and j I suspension of the compromise movement was virtually reached the first j | session as a result of inability to get j together on the equal voting reserva-' tion to the league of nations cove-' nant. After more than two hours: I spirited debate the whole subject was j put over. Report Tentative Agreement. Better progress, however, was re-; ported at the second session. The pre-! | amble to the Lodge reservations re-1 {quiring formal acceptance by three of : ! the five principal powers of Ameri| can reservations was taken up, and ; it was said, a tentative agreement j was reached. The proposed compromise on the preamble was said to j provide that if the principal signatories do not file formally objections j,to the reservations before their deposit for exchange of ratifications,' j the American reservations shall be j deemed to have been accepted. In the leaders' dispute over the. odnnl votinir reservation several cor . promise draft? were brought f -tin including drafts l?v Senators , ! mons, Democrat. North Carolina, an 1; Walsh, Democrat.
