FOUR TO ONE VOTE ON SUFFRAGE ISSUE Parliamentarians Differ as to Force of Resolution Adopted by Ninetyihree io i wenty-one. The State. 24ih. T'n,. !*iV.'fi of the cer.cral as senibiv yesterday ul'terncon adopted by a vote of VI to 21 ihj concurrent ~esolui;on by Representatives Bradford and Hart of York to reject the Susan B. Anthony equal suffrage -amendment. The resolution now iroes to the senate for consideration. The resolution caused something of noriiomiMit'irv inm oarlv in the de hate, effort being made to refer the resolution to a committee that a joint resolution of the same import might be brought out. This agitation growout of the different views held by parliamentarians in the house. One group contends that a concurrent resolution has no force at law, and that a joint resolution which leqaires the signature of the governor, when approved by both houses, would. This difference of opinion has rais'id I,-* wllpt'hpT* OV Dot t'U li*V l|UwOb?Vfii v v/ .. be su 17 rage amendment will come up ! again this session. It is contended by j those arguing for a joint resolution that yesterday's action can be interreied on!v as an exoressicn of senti-! ment and that if the amendment were zo be presented a direct vote would have to be taken. The amendment; has not been submitted on the direct J question of "ratification*' and further; consideration is likely, if not this ses- j si on, at least next year. j Some of those voting against the j resolution yesterday are not in favor j of equal suffrage. Several of these opponents contended that the issue was not faced squarely and by this indirect method would put ihe legis-! iature in a somewhat unfavorable; iight outside South Carolina.

"jeit he was doing the state a public I service in trying to prevent the injec?.ion of the negroes into politics. / For Suffrage Long Ago. "The most ardent speech against the resolution and for rsqwal suffrage was made by M. R. *Gooper of Beaufort, who voted at the state constitutional convention in | in favor of woman suffrage. J "Mr. Cooper said all the talk about; injecting the negro again in state j Tpolitics was "pure rot." He had pass-' * through t"he reconstruction period 1 .succeeding the War Between the? Sections and had voted at precincts j .where three negroes voted to one ( white man, and all voted the Demo- j eratic ticket.

Wanted Effective Action. Mr. Hanahan of Fairfield was bitcerly opposed to suffrage, but wanted ^he resolution referred to a committee which would substitute a joint resolution instead. "Let us have a joint resolution which will kill the infernal thing now and forever," he, said. Mr. Belser of Sumter argued for <:a ! decent hearing" on the amendment.

LAW ENFORCEMENT FIRST $9,000,000 To Be Spent In Fighting Bolshevism By Americanizing Foreigners. W. McDonald Lee, National Direc lor OL lae grtMl taiu^aigu muuvu^a i by the Anti-Saloon League of America, ! has made the following statement j showing the objects of the campaign, j why it is necessary, and to what pur-! poses the funds raised will be de- : voted. "We have three great aims In this j campaign." declared Mr. Lee, "all of 1 which will appeal to every patriotic j American who has the welfare of his j own country at heart and any regard | for the moral and spiritual welfare [ and progress of our neighboring na- j tions. These aims are as follows: {1) To aid home Law Enforcement | (requiring about nine million;. (2) To Americanize the Foreigner (requiring about nine million). (3) A Dry World by 1SC0 (including Mexico and West Indies). "A fourth of the money raised in the campaign is to be left in the State for object one, "Law Enforcement." which means creating public senti ment for observance of law. and de- j mand for officers who win cniorce tne law. Internal Revenue Commissioner Daniel Roper and Federal and State officers nearly everywhere invite such co-operation by our organization and similar ones. Liquor interests have j organized?it is said with $400,000,000 fund?twenty-four States, in effort to elect a Congress that will increase alcoholic contents from one-fourth of one per cent, to ten, or even forty per cent., and thus defeat the aims of Prohibition and nullify the Eighteenth amendment. )assage by both houses of the nation- '? il congress deserved more considera- j 5 :ion from the legislators. j J Mr. Gray of Spartanburg did not; ive through the reconstruction ' period, but at his father's kr.ee he ' lad been told of the horrors of those? '< rears and he did not wish for himself ?r nostoritv such another calamity. He had told some of the women lob- i syists for the amendment that "more J lell and the devil would be raised' Dver this thing than anything else." j Mr. Dreher of Lexington knew j that states' rights were defeated at ] Appomattox, but the principles of t democracy were still living and that was what he was fighting for in opposing the national amendment.

While harangued by anarchists and booze-advocates they remain a menace to our institutions. These scattered colonies within our borders can be reached only through the systematic and sttidied propaganda of the National League. "Such of the remainder of the funds as may be determined by the Stat? and National Leagues is to be devoted to object three. All the world is now our neighbor. Five critical years have demonstrated that we are vitally affected by conditions elsewhere on the giobe. One dollars worth of liquor will counteract a hundred dollars of the money so generously given to missions by Bapitsts. Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians and others. Let's help make effective these mis sionary gifts. The missionary pleads for our help against the emigrating liquor dealer and his wares that are hurrying to other shores. "Under objects one and two the Anti-Saloon League seeks to remove ; the cause that Y. M. C. A., Red Cross. Salvation Army and other ncbie bodies are earnestly striving to remedy. With ! I?w enforcement, proper education and removal of temptation there will be less poverty, fewer dens of vice, a redemption from misery to women and children, and the work of those great organizations will be made easier and the quicker accomplished. "Under object three it will be possible to "clean up" Cuba and the Bahamas from the liquor and vice contagion that is already affecting our shores. Mexico also, because of which probably a hundred million doliars a j year is spent by our American Govern- j ment to keep the peace, would be less | a disturbing element if dnnk were! abolished and this can be accomplished.
