RSDAY, JULY 15, 1920.
SESSION OF I cr.lfil ATI IDC I
MAY BECOMTNECESSARY
The possibility of South Carolina
having a system of election laws In
contltct with the constitution of the
United States Is touched upon it a
letter Governor Cooper has received
from T. P. Cothran. State chairman
of the Democratic evecutlve committee.
during the course of which Mr.
Cothran comments upon the political
situation which would arise upon the
ratification of the 19th amendment to
the constitution of the United States,
which umendment lias to do with
woman suffrage.
Mr. Cothran suggests that his letter
be given to the press so that the
people of the State may consider the
matter and so that "we may have
the benefit of opinions of best informed
men."
The letter to Governor Cooper follows:
"Dear Governor:
"Permit me to suggest for your
consideration the political situation
which would arise upon the ratification
of the 19th amendment of the
constitution of the United States relating
to woman suffrage, in order
that you may lie prepared to act
should It arise.
"It seems highly probable thht Vermont.
North Carolina or Tennessee
may ratify the amendment before tbe
general election in November is held
If tbis should occur, the proclamation
of Its ratification will be immediately
made and the amendment will
ta.ke effect. We will then have a system
of election laws in conflict with
the constitution of the lTnited States
and neither our constitution nor our
statute can stand in such contlict.
"The proposed amendment reads
thus:
" 'The right of citizens of the
United States to vote Hhall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any State on account of
sex.'
"Tbe conflict between our laws and
the federal constitution. of course,
may exist ad readily where our laws
are passed in conflict with existing
provisions of the federal constitution,
as where our laws are valid when enacted
but become in conflict with :?
federal amendment subsequently rati,
tied.
"Tbe question arose in my mind
whether or not. under these circumstances.
we could hold a valid election
under laws in conflict with the i
federal nnfondntent. If this could not '
be done the nnllticnl ?

you rendily perceive, would he disastrous.
The election for United
States senator, for congressman and i
for presidential electors would he 1
annulled and it is possible that we i
would have a Republican president, i
The only remedy therefore would he |
the calling of an extra session of the
General Assembly to conform our '
election laws to the new order of i
t hings.
"My fears have been very much I
compoHcd by the case of Neall vs. Delaware
10:t lT. S.. 1570. where It Is '
held that the adoption of the 15th '
amendment (which is in the exact '
verbiage of the proposed 19th) ren- '
dcred inoperative the proposition in '
the then existing constitution of Delaware
which limited the right of suf- 1
finite to white men. Following this !
principle, everything in our eonstitu- I
tion and registry and election laws. '
limiting the right of suffrage to '
males, would Instantly become inop- 1
erative. Hut tinder our laws no one
can vote without registration. This
will apply to women, under the new (
order of things. as well as to men.
The time for registration is limited',
the tirst 15 days in August and the
fith. 7th and Hth days of September. ,

(tolled Buzzard Head. t
The famous "helled buzzard."
known all over the country, and snld 1
to have lived more than 100 years, s
Is believed to be dead. A few days d
hko this buzzard Was seen on the e
farm of W. II. beach, near the mouth H
of Second creek. West Virginia. It
looked to be greatly emaciated and *
ready to give up its career. When c
I he bird was seen, other buzzards '!
were flying overhead, as If keeping v
Ihoir suffering mate company.
This buzzard has a small sleigh beU
attached to its neck. The bird had
not its beak fastened behind the bell ii
attachment which bowed Its neck in r
1 curve, and seemed unable to release f
Itself from this uncomfortable posi- r
lion. I
Members of the beach family went f
t.? the buzzard's aid. but when they r
ipproacheri it Hew away with the rest n
of the flock. It is felt certain that c
Ihe bird bus since died.
The sleigh bell was tied around the
buzzard's neck in the War of '812. <
The bird has been seen as far south e
us Peru, though its summers were J
tlways spent in the mountain* of t
*outhern West Virginia. During the ?
Mexican trouble several years ago the h
bird wns on the border for two con- h
ocutlve summers.

KILLED IN ATLANTA.
William C. While, Formerly of Hock
Hill. Mwls TrajtU' 1 >?>:?tli.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
death in Atlanta Monday of William
L". White, 35 years old. formerly of
Hock Hill who was a brother of
James S. White and a son of the late
Rev. J. S. White. The body of Mr.
White was brought from Atlanta to
Rook Hill and interred in the family
plot in the city cemetery yesterday
afternoon.
The Atlanta Journal of Monday
prints the following account of the
deuth of Mr. White:
"Tho .l?"0. ..' 111

The Prado at Orady hospital early
Monday afternoon left unsolved the
mystery as to a pistol wound from
which he died.
"Mr. White walked into the puhlh
lavatory of the Kimhall house bar
her shop shortly before noon Monday
and a few minutes later a pistol shot
was heard. J. W. Spieer. manager ol
the barber shop, and Julian Kctor. a
negro, found him with a wound in
the head. lie died at Orady hospital
a short time later.
"The tirst theory* of the police wathat
he had shot himself. Investigation.
however, developed no motive
for suicide and physicians at the
hospital expressed their opinion that
the wound was not self-intlicted.
"The wound was through Mr
White's head. If self-intlicted. physieians
asserted, powder burns would
have been visible. No powder marks
were found on the head. whereas
there were powder marks on the
clothes, strengthening the theory tha'
the weapon, a small caliber revolver,
was dropped and accidentally discharged.
"Mr. White had been with the Hartford
Kire Insurance company for ten
years and was executive special agent
lor th?' Southern department. Ac
c( rding to II. J. Hopkins, assistant
munager. he had a splendid record
and there was no reason for suicide
Mr. Hopkins declared his belief that
investigations would show that Mr
White <1 i<1 not kill himself."

issue of his paper:
"There were many atrocious things
written and said afoul the nominee,
