Government and the Governed.
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

Id the polls- making the _

the 45 enfranchised white women vote
making the total white vote 90? Of
course they would. 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.

sbSSe wsa at
Clemson College. 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

It is a bobl man who would say nowa

privilege of voting. 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.

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-
