Aull Columbia, Aug On ???i Friday August 2<i, the woman suffrage amendment to the constitution of the United States had been in ef, v,|fht >ears It is interesting to note how it has affected South t arolina. The women of the Suu, hMVV ?ot Ukon adv?nl??,. t.qua| >yf tr?*e amendment to pl.ee any woman "i a Slate offiee eleotive by the iwople or to elect a wom.S l, either branch of the general ombly. In ? few th,re have been women eandidatea for Mate offices in the primaries and for, legislative aeata. None of then, ha, yet been successful. The position of Mat* librarian, elective by the general assembly, has been held by women long before the equal suffrage' amendment, and a few years ago the position of librarian of the supreme court was given by the court to Miss Dozier, who had for years served as stenographer for the court Both Mrs. Moody, the State librarian, and Miss Dozier, the supreme court librarian, have fitted well in their positions, and are deservedly popular in official circles, to Mrs. Moody, Mrs. U R Brooks, Jr., of Columbia, who' was then Miss LaBorde, was State libranan for several years, and preced. tng her in <the office was Miss Barron, who resigned upon her marriage to the late Mr. N. G. Gonzales. Two memberships on the board of trustees of Winthrop college, elected by the legislature, are held by Mrs. W. L. Daniel, of Greenwood, and Mrs. George W. ?tuekey, of Bishopville. Mrs. A. F. McKissick, of Greenville, is a member of the board of trustees J of the John de la Howe Industrial School, in Abbeville eounty, which was established by the State under the Act Of 1918, Of which the late Senator J. Howard Moore, of Abbeville, was the author. On the State botrd of education, composed of the governor and super-1 intendent of education, and one mJm-1 ber from each of the seven congressional districts, appointed by the governor, Miss Washington Pringle, of Charleston, represents the first district and Mrs. J, L. Mims, of Edgeield, represents the second district. Of the nine members of the board of commissioners of the Confederate Home, located at Columbia, four are women: Mrs. Sophie Swindell and Miss Alice Earle, of Clumbia, Mrs T. J. Mauldin, of Pickens, and Mrs. K. M. Bratton, of York. On the Memorial Commissions established by the Act of 1919 to provide two memorial buildings for men and women of South Carolina who served in the World War, are Mrs. John G. Rfrgby, of the first congressional district, Mrs. Walter E. Duncan, of the second district, Mrs. Richard Williams, of the third district, Mis. W. S.

Gray, supervisor of adult schools, Columbia, field worker, and Mrs. J. L. Colcer, ?arta. Of course in all the various offices and departments and institutions of the State government there are many women holding positions of responsibility, but a woman has not yet been elected to any of these offices or at the head of the departments or Institutions. Tbert are dhjy nine women in the te holding county offices. These are in Berkley, where Sarah E. Wfl? Hams is auditor; in Chesterfield where Mrs. Millie D. Sanders is sup. erintendent of education; in Claren don, where Miss Janle M. Wilson it treasurer; in Darlington, where Mrs Elizabeth D. Hutto is superintendent of education; in Greenville, when Fannie C. Scott is probate judge; i? Jasper, where Mrs. Marv G. Ellis h superintendent of educa'ion; li Laurens, where Kate V. Wofford t superintendent .of educatiota; ji Marion, where Eliza J. Meggs i treasurer, and in Marlboro, where Bessie R. I>avis' is treasurer. (The list is compiled from Gibbea' Legislative Manual, and the "Miss" or ("Mrs," as the case may be, is used where it is .used there, and omitted where omitted there.) -A majority of ttfe women of the State, judging,by the way they have not voted, seem content with having secured the right of suffrage, and do not seem to care very much about the exercise of it. Maybe if they did exercise it generally they would continue the men in office. Maybe they wouldn't. They have the power to overthrow things if they ever take a notion to do so. Some day they may. The graduate^pf VVinthrop college?and the students, K there are ever arty students up there who have >attained voting age?'may glance down towards a legislative session some time and see how many representatives there are from other institutions, including some students at another institution, and decide to take some of the seats in the general assembly. There have already been some rumblings along that line. Then, again, they may just decide that .it is best to continue to wield their influence from without rather than from within. The break, however, * Is not going to be very long in coming." Already since the privilege and- ? the right were theirs, there have ... been several legislative candidates among the women. The women t could have elected them, but didnt. , Aa a matter of fact, if the women should unite they could bring afcout * , anything in politics they might want to bring about?in South Carolina or i anywhere else.' They have not Want( ed to?that is, a majority of them? , up to this time.
