Saying that the General Assembly by ratifying the Susan B. Anthony amendment would attempt to “govern without the consent of the governed,” the reply that half of the pepple (the women) are now governed without their consent might have been, and was anticipated. Many more than half of the people are governed without their consent. The number of males of voting age in South Carolina is now around 380,000 (both races) but the number voting in an election is usually under 60,000. In a statewide nominatiing primary, 140, 000 is a heavy vote. Besides the wo men, some thousands of educated young persons of both sexes are gov- emed without their ,conm nt, because they are not quite 21. The present General Assembly de rives its authority from the aftrn who were qualified to vetr in 19IH and 1916 (one-half of the senators were chosen in the latter year), it it a representative body and. on a ques tion of supreme import, it ran not pass without reference to the men wbos« commission they bear, without betrayal nf trust For l<0 men de riving p>.wrr to legislate from thane trtm no ethers to try t* multiply two the number of elec toes foe all the j years of the fwture would ho pro and eetfctnbafei* IVehnps a m» re ae urate la sa$ that It avail be to govern ta rvWIbeoi aga>ae< the gasrsfuat • total V.

White women are not shirkera; there ia nothing that they will not dare to aave the purity of their homes and families. They would have to vote. If the white wo- men stayed at home and cooked at all the Clopton precincts on election day, South Caroling would go “hell bent” as the negro votes carried it. Yes, these white won\en would vote. They would set their teeth and grijnly go to the polls, staying there so long as need was, their husbands and brothers standing by them prepared, too. At Clopton is no policeman—though, may be, a constable.' There is no such as surance of quiet and order as in Ward One, Columbia, or the West End ward of Greenville. A squad of trained of ficers is not always in two minutes run by motorcar from police head quarters. tuflgeationa From tho Entomologist About Combating Roll Wsovlla, tealea.

Dec. 29.—The farm ers of South Carolina have come face to face with the boll weevil problem and never before has R been necessary for them to do as careful planning dur ing the winter as it it now. The boll weevil Injury is directly dependent up on the weather conditions. If the sea son Is moist and favorable for weevH development, very serious damage is expected in the southern part of the itate approximately below a line ex tending from Augusta to Charleston, but severe damage may -also be expect ed In the Coastal counties between Charleston and the North Carolina line If the season is wet. One of the most Important^ habits that we must form in general farm management is to practice farm clean ing during the fall and winter because most of our insect pests. Including the boll weevil, find winter shelter in the dead leaves and gruss, and along ditch banks, fegee rows, wood lots, old orch- trds and roadsides. Several—-of our most serious pests find w infer-quarters In and around the cotton and com •talks during the winter. Tf for any reason these stalks have not been prop erly cleaned up by plowing under, burn ing. or otherwise by December first. It should be done Immediately; and tf any rema^ by January first, they BOt\e allowed to «tav one dav In tfe dead grass, along wood N el ice W DMstlou af Charter.

In the same way, Thad Stevens, old Ben Wade and the rest were impregnably fortified in right when they said that the ballot should not be denied to men on ac count of color. Both sex and color tests for voting, and age for that mat ter, are, from the point of view of science, ridiculous, but the practice of governing can never get away from practical facts without sending gov ernment to the devil. ar* crwwtftg ut*t r» *• A It.— rrrnrfT 1 —W sasf A» m <W swsrkaS a# m tpw# W urnda at h isss |Ws4»mA#f h* <wau(Aa «f a aaawm Am Wv F r *u aim made ha W uaw wf • *#•#» uvw h» * fW gswrsliad tW •wsfmrl hmusufth la uaad wwd dtswrsums fiflawag f*«aat» Tm0 taAasmaiAm a* As a%#Ua fbw saw •wrfwl cww hw sMf.wmad Uriw iSw RA '•u*-wa Rwsaww '^baaw i -ag Iw aswl* fhw sawtafxa* al hwsws o* aw* I rn—hud WC tW rn'hm* ruu «c* fwT m hssmwrlaw h* wvftiug far t*V« wtwr If fUufh tVfthui Kupartasiwt tostm* Tww mi •kwmwaf §cus rsIH wfuklam sralms tufawi •« fbw »tXa4» tr^ua mi mm •fat# arc ih* ghwn. s* ala aa4 tha cm . *• «v ■ tv #Wt’ la tha sipsrlmawtal wwrh at this fal tag# Itmv sulphur wash has not h#*a Fight The Boll Weevil Bamberg, S. C. Near Clopton precinct, somewhere in South Carolina, dwell 200 men, of whom 00 are white and 150 are ne groes. Of the whites, from five to ten are disfranchised because they are illiterate and propertyless. Of the negroes, 75 are disfranchised for the same reason, but the other 75 are, under the law,qualified to register, so if they do register, there is a qualified negro * majority of nearly two to one at Clopton precinct. If the women be enfrai.«*hiaed, the racial proportions of the voters will not be materially changed. Imagine a political division of the whites and that the qualified negroes, under white encouragement and pro tection, obtain registration certifi- ratrs -may it no! be imagined?
