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.

POPULAR MINISTER
MAKING VIOLINS
Dr. S. T. Hallman Becomes Skilled
Workman.
The following story from the Spartanburg
Herald relative to the mak-1
ing of violins by the Rev. S. T. 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

! from "flamed maple," a very fine j
piece of this rare old wood having
i been given him by the firm of 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!

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.
