The Constitutional convention is now on the knotty- problem - the suffrage-and how long they are going to solve it we do not know. The plan reported by the commit tee is not satisfactory to some, and yet the dissitisfled ones do not offer a better plan. Senator Irby took the report of the committee on suffrage as an ex cuse to marshal his forces for his re election in 1896, and his speech may have the desired effect. But to have that effect he will have to submit a better plan and bring convineing proof that Tillman and his commit tee are in league with our enemies to break up white supremacy. We do not see how our representa tives can make a Constitutional con stitution whereby they will disfran chise negroes and not disfranchise white men without calling in the aid of our property-owningand educated women. Heretofore we have been opposed to woman suffrage because we be lieved the time had not arrived for them to take a hand in the affairs of government, but under the exist ing conditions we are convinced if the women are allowed to vote, either by casting the vote in person or by a proxy of their own selection, the problem that has given us so much annoyance will be solved. There is no use of any longer brush ing aside the thought. Woman suf frageis comingand why not? Do they not own property? Have they not the intelligence of the average cit izen? Are they not more entitled to have a voice in the affairs of this government than an unlettered foreigner, who has no other ambi tion here beyond making a fortune and returning to the land of .his birth ? We take the woman of to-day, who is educated, and by hard work with she needle,- pen, in the school room, -the counting room, hospital, asylum, farm, store and hundreds of other avocations, she has accumulated *property. She is in the race of progress with her male competitors, anid in her fields ,of labor she has employees who are dependent upon her success for their support. Is it right for such superior intel lectuality to be forced through and by the forms of law to quietly submit * to have her rulers selected for her by those _who are not as competent to make the selection as herself ? She Is taxed, and yet a ragged negro, who has no more intelligence than a .raceoon, and with nothing but the clothes on his back, can have more rights under our laws than she. If we wanted to build a cotton factory or any other commercial in dustry, where thousands of dollars are involved, there would be no >hesitancy in allowing a woman to subscribe her money to the stock, nor would there be any question in allowing her to hold a position to-hazndle the finances of the in stitution when it is established. Yet we do when it comes to a vote to select men to make the laws where by our property. is to be taxed to support the government raise our hands in holy horror and say the women must keep out. South Carolina is now in a position to set the pace for the United States In the way of doing justice to one class of her citizens that have been held back through nothing less than pure narrow-mindedness. Throw down the barriers and give our educated and property-owning women the right to vote, and the problem of white supremacy is solved forever and ever. Rumor has it that J. E. Ellerbe of Marion isitchingfor Jno. L. Me Laurin to commit political suicide, so that he can get into his congressional shoes, and one of the nice little schemes on foot, we are told, is to induce Mc Lauinto unfor vernor and leave . ' -acfield open for other cattle to graze upon. We have no idea what McLaurin expects to do in a political way, but the people of the sixth district will not willingly give him up even to take a seat in the United States Senate ; they feel that the district is very scarce of such timber as is found in Mc Laurin's make-up, and they need him to battle for them where fighting is most needed. As far as the gover norship is concerned, we can safely say without authority,that McLaurin would not consent to run even if the balance of the State should demand it, because as long as the people in his district claim his services his duty is first to them. When we speak of the people we do not mean a few fly-blowing politicians, who would destroy McLaurin if the peo ple can be fooled. It is said that since Saluda has been cut off from Edgefield the Re formers have lost Edgefield county, and that ex-(Governor Shepperd will be+th next Senator from that county. Do not let the manipulations of the speculators in cotton frighten you into sacrificing what you have on hand. The recent slumps in our judgment are only the tricks of the trade. Cotton is short, and it must be had. and as soon as the article is out of the hands of the growers the speculators will raise the priee, and the consumers will pay dearly for the manufactured goods. Already cotton goods have advanced at a fearful rate, and the claim for the raise with the manufacturers is the scarcity of the raw material. The spec ulators are simply playing a game of hide-and-seek, but they cannot keep the price down nuch longer. Watch the prediction-ten cents for cotton befora Christmas. The proposition to make smaller counties is now fully before the con vention, and if the members are not careful they will make the constitu tional area so small that our coun ties will not be more than respect able-sized townships. We do not hear the tax-payers clamoring for new counties. This claer comes from a few little towns and politi cians. Every town away from a county seat wants a court house, and if they get it the result will be an in creased tax to both the people living in the new county and the people living in the old county where the new portion was cut off. It takes money to pay the running expenses of a county, and the more taxable property there is in a county the smaller each tax-payer's share of that expense, but when a portion of the taxable property is cut off, of course it increases the taxation to meet the necessary expenses. THE BIG SHOW Of the World and Its Many New Fea tures Coming to Sumter, Wednesday, Nov. 6. The fame of Sells Bothers precedes them everywhere, and they never fail to receive an ovation, and their forthcoming visit to this city will be a glorious holiday, and their grand unity of big shows will be pre sented here in all its entirety, introducing a triple-ring circus, among which will ap pear a host of European celebrities. There is not a cheap or mediocre act among them. What ts particularly noticeable in the per formances given by Sells Brothers masto donic circus, is the universal care given to the costuming. Many worn by the artists are worth hundreds of dollars, and the shining silks, glistening satins and wealth of ornamentation contribute to make a pic ture absolutely bewildering in its brilliancy. Patrons of the greatest show on earth are assured of seeing a complete performance, night or day, without abridgement. They will also see the largest and finest collec tion of rare wild animals in the world, the best three-ring circus, the handsomest horses, and the most exciting hippodrome races ever witnessed in this city.
