Mississippi today declined to become the 36th state to ratify the federal woman suffrage amendment. The lower house of the legislature by the overwhelming vote of 94 to 23 adopted a resolution disagreeing with the senate resolution of yesterday by which the latter body favored ratification. Speakers favoring suffrage were interrupted by hoots, cat calls, jeers and whistling. Cheers greeted those who spoke against equal balloting and R. H. Watts of Pisgah, Ranking j county arose ajul shouted: "I would i rather die and go to hades than vote j for woman suffrage," A thunder of j objections greeted M. S. Cooner,; speaker of the house, when he announced he would instruct the clerk j to read telegrams received from na-1 tional leaders of the Democratic par- i i J? ? ~ fnvnvino" i t\ c<nct iroiu xu?v?i suffrage throughout the country. The --".t,., was almost unanimous against ine ieading of the telegrams. Gov. Lee M. Russell, who today announced that he would make a "little talk" urging ratification, failed to appear. Dover, Del., MarcJj 31.?The Delaware house of representatives today failed io take a vote on the woman j suffrage federal constitutional amend-' ment. Plans had been made for a vote today but when the house met, the sponsor of the house resolution Representative Hart, Democrat, said things had happened since it was first decided to take a vote and he was not . eady to call it up. There was great confusion on the floor and among the spectators when it was realized that o rftto wnnlH not. hp taken, and the anti-suffragist members demanded that the resolution be called up at once. Hart however, refused to do so, and left the chamber. Hartford, Conn., March 31.?Governor Holcomb will not call a special session of the general assembly to take action on the woman suffrage amendment to the federal constitution, Major John Buckley, the executive secretary, announced today. Death of Mr. Thos. E. Epting. Mr. Thomas Edward Epting died suddenly of aortic regurgitation on Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at his home in this city.

Flu was gentle in his demeanor and his conversation was always eiev:;tin?. No harshness fell from his lips. He spoke kindly and truthfully. While His sudden death was a sarprsc to fcis many friends, casting a gloom over the entire community, they kn??w that he had been far frjm a well man for ten or eleven ye its, ever since he was run over and ser oasly injured in an acc-dent in, the city ui C lumbia.

He had] i:.._ j xr 1 I n> t;u in netvuci'i'jf suite ??o.yuuuu, auu was well known and highly esteemed. For the past several years he had been with the Southern Bell Telephone company, holding an important position, his special work being the securing of rights of way for the company, at which he was successful. He took pride in his work. Mr. Epting was the son of the late Henry and Harriett Epting. He is survived by his widow, who was formerly Miss Luia Goggans.

Superintendent C. M. Wil- e son has an announcement which win be of much interest to some of the ij teachers which announcement is that p the new salary schedule can be paid JE this year to all schools having an C eight-mill tax. This salary schedule I is that principals shall receive $100.-i ( 00 per month for one and two teacher I schools, $110.00 for 3-teacher schools, ) $120.00 for 4-teacher schools and ( S 130.00 for 5-teacher schools. All i ?nn npv i clSSlSlciliCS Ml<tH ivisnt yuu.uv ^ ? month. This schedule applies to j | teachers holding first grade certifi- j r cates enrolling 25 pupils. There is j s an increase of $5.00 per month for a j second year and $10 for a third term, j ? This is the salvation of rural districts 1 ( where the assessment is small arid the I ( enrollment is large. j i - The library aid has been discon-! ] tinued this year but the county board jr has decided to continue to give as! ( much up to $25 as the patrons raise) to purchase books. | j Building aid has been increased so j as to allow $400.00 State aid for one | classroom, $600.00 for two, $800.00 j j for three, $1,000.00 for 4 or more. 1 This amount to be duplicated by the I T>, a ictvipt vvi<sVl- f -I.UI1110. ill xttvi, t? ...mvwv. j ing to build a modern approved twoteacher school may rr.ise $1,200.00 ( and secure $600.00 from the county . and $600.00 from the state putting up ] a $2,400.00 building.

"j Mr. John 8. Mayes the book store man devotes his spare moments to raising fancy chickens. Inl fact he is a pretty fair agriculturist. He has s fancy chickens and sells eggs for J hatching. We believe he has one a roster for which he paid something c like $25.00w But the point of this I storv is to sav that during: the month J p of March he gathered 725 eggs from 3 40 hens and that he sold for hatch- I ing $33.00 worth of eggs and has had f plenty to eat and to set for his own J hatching. r We mention this mainly to say'that t there is no reason why every one in o this country should not have all the eggs he needs for his own use without 5 buying, that is every one who has even a small range for tne cmcicens i and is willing to give a little attention to his barnyard. n We believe that Mr. Mayes has the Imperial Barred Rock or something a like that, but most any strain with proper attention and plenty of the n right sort will produce the ejigs. And then the fellows who did not have the v yard maybe could be able to have eggs occasionally without ben? barred j a by the pric e.

Coach Sullivan spoke of the past football season and other athletics, laying special strees on the present baseball season. He is confident that Newberry has a championship nine and promises to give title contenders a merry round before the final curtain in May. Following the address by Coach Sullivan the club announced ' * - -J- 1 1. ?OAA that it would contriDuie at least ^vu towards relieving the deficit of the athletic program and probably more. Of this amount $140 was pledged last night and from the interest shown this will be materially increased. John D. Lane of Lamar, senior at the college, was another speaker of the evening. He told of the inside college life and reported that much good work is being done by the students and faculty. Mr. Lane's ^alk on the college life of today was very much enjoyed. The students are looking forward to April 8 when all will : join in a clean up campaign to beautify the buildings and grounds, he said. ^Amman/iamant #?YPrr?ises in June are already beginning to attract the attention of the young men, Mr. Lane said. ^ In Persia the marriage of first cousins is the favorite union.
