CAROLINA WOMEN
MAY VOTE IN PRIMARY
Columbia, March 22.?Suffrage leader*
of South Carolina are already looking
to election day* this year, with an
eye on the ballot, and they are this
week taking steps to prepare themselves
for voting.
Mrs. J. B. Salley, of Aiken, has written
to Attorney General vVolfe, asking
for an opinion as to how the women
shall proceed to actually get the ballot,
following ratification of the national
suffrage amendment. Thirty-four of the
necessary thirty-six states have ratified
the amendment, and Washington and
Deleware legislatures are expected to
ratify this freek. "We then automatically
become voting citizens," writes
Mrs. Salley.
"As attorney creneral of this state."
writes Mrs. 8alley, "I should like very
much te have your opinion in regard to
the steps that should be taken to enforce
the law. We hope and expect to
vote in the presidential election and also
in the Democratic primaries this summer
but we realize that some legal action
must be taken in this matter and that
you are the proper one to prescribe
these methods."
Attorney General Wolfe will this
week reader an opinion for the suffrage
leaders. He will probably tell them
that they automatically become voting
citizens with ratification of the amendment,
and that the next steps in the
process of attaining the vote will be to
register the women for the general election,
and to have the Democratic party
change its rules so as to allow women
to vote in the primaries.
Examine Teachers May 1.
Columbia, March 22.?Two announcements
of interest to teachers of the
state were made by the stute board of
education here today.
Tho state-wide teachers examination
will be held on Saturday. May 1. Ques
tiona for the examination were arranged
at a meeting of the atute hoard of education
which adjourned Saturday. The
question will be distributed to the county
auperintcndenta. Thin is to be the
last examination under the old law,
which haa been on the statute books
for nearly four decodes. The newly
created state board will probably examine
teacher* hereafter.
The other announcement is that the
new state board of examination and
certification of teachers will probably
be appointed in dune. The board was
created by the recent legislature, but no
appropriation was made to finance it.
Qovernor Cooper was requested to make
an effort to borrow from the state ton
tingent fund, handled by the budget
I commission, enough money to finance
the board for the rest of this year. If
I this is done the new board will be appointed
so as to take office June 1.

Little Known People.
In the extreme north of the Russian
province of Archangel dwells one of
the queerest and least known races of
mankind. These are the Samoyedes,
the wandering tribes of the vast frozen
marshes* which -exten'd ftrthese regions
from the forest belt to the shores of
the Arctic ocean. They worship idols
and their sole wealth consists in reindeer.
Living, the reindeer draws the
sledge which transports the Samoyede
slid his belongings from spot to spot in
search of the game and hah, which constitute
his principal sustenance. Dead,
it provides him with meat in times of
scarcity, and with skin for his family
tent. With its sharpened bones he tips
his wooden fishing harpoons and hunt
ing spears. Its smews he uses to sew
together the shirt, breeches and boots
of sealskin, which are the attire alike
of the Samoyede men, women and
children.
