J 9 Against the Sooth's Interest. J For reasons that are not hard & to find, the South does not want I woman suffrage, and so far as r South Carolina is concerned we r anticipate ^hat if the Anthony a ' amendment to the Federal con- c a ti tut ion is submitted to the ^ session of the General Assembly i to convene a few days hence it r will he rejected by a decisive v majority. Nor is there any | ||^ likelihood of a change in senti- v ment on this question in South 1 Carolina, so it matters little J whether the Anthony amend- c ment is offered at the 1920 session J of the General Assembly or at a g subsequent session; this State t will be found in the list of States c refusinc tn crrn r?t Parloml I. w Q a MX v V1IV A VVIVt Ol | government the right the consti- & tution now guarantees them to J bestow the franchise wisely. j Friends of the Anthony amend- t . ment are apt u> learn that the | statement that^resident Wilson l . favors the amendment is no! e sufficient iniSouth Carolina?and. J what is true of South Carolina as ^ to this Question is equally true of i other Southern States. By and a large the people of this State are t friendly to the president and in t nearly all public matters are t pleased to follow his lead, but on J the woman suffrage amendment they have come to a parting of the ways with the president, n When Mr. Wilson aBks South Carolina to ratify the Anthony J] amendment, South Carolina may t *y&i very reasonably reply by asking ? ihe president whence came the J] light to convince him that he was h ^ wrong when he favored leaving I J this question solejy to the States. ^ We were then told by the presi- p dent that it was not a matter of fl concern to the Federal government, but a question to be c settled by the States. Was the j| - president right then and wrong now, or right now and wrong c 0 . then? And the president having " once changed his attitude toward K - the question, who is there to say v. that he will not see another light . pT. and again view the question as ' he formerly did? V School Teachers' Pay. v "Something is going to have to be done, and done soon, to find ^ more pay for the pytblic school teachers of the State, otherv ise the usefulness of the public school system will he seriously endangered. Already many ?l # the town schools are running short of teachers and for similar reasons numerous one and two ? . teacher country schools have been closed altogether, notwithstanding the compulsory school " attendance law, which should be ^ quite as obligatory upon the com- | munuy to-aurmab educational fa-11 cilities for the children as it is to j I require that the children attend j1 school. It is a waste of time to argue that most school teachers are entitled to more salary. The fact ia obvious. The living cost which baa been soaring for the last two or three yfcars has embarrassed the public schooi^each ers' more perhaps than it has any other class of people.
