' Washington, D. C., March 22.? The women are going to keep up s leir fight for the ballot. There is ) be no let up while congress lasts, orth Carolina is becoming interned. "Why, vou should make a trip g irough North Carolina if you do not elieve that the suffragists are gainlg ground," said a charming Tar 'eel woman here the other, day . 1 am alarmed about the situation. , hree society girls in my *town are ' ink voters for women advocates." "Three old maids," declared the ' J -e H t.lbn. usuaiiu UJL lilt: Laixvci. J "But they are not quite that," said le wife. J This is a sample of the conversa- . ons one hears from North Caronians on female suffrage. The suffragists leaders here have ;arned how to get publicity. They ( ilk in rag time. The following statement was issued , )-day, Sunday being the busy day ^ f the suffragist: ^ "So they've called me a traitor, j ave they. And all because I said j lat the wisdom of the world did not erish with the 'fathers' who made t le constitutions," said Mrs. Antoin- r tte Funk of the congressional com- , littee of the National Suffrage as- , Dciation. "Well, it can't be helped, very person that ever departed from , beaten path has been called a j rank, crook, traitor, anarchist, or < )me other opprobious name. "But nevertheless and notwith:anding, the 'fathers' did make misikes. At least 17 have been cor- , scted by the people by amending , le constitution. Why these 'fathers' < ift out the 'bill of rights' and ^ homas Jefferson forced it to be in- . >rted by amendment. j "And here is another important ict: Jefferson had to utterly ignore ] nd violate the constitution which , le "fathers' made when he pur- 3 tiased Louisiana. j. "By common consent and usage the \ Dnstitution has been ignored in the i lost important matter it contains, , le election of the president. The ' athers' did not intend that the peo- j le should elect their president, yet lat is what now happens. j "It was because of a mistake of < .le 'fathers' who made the consti- 1 ition that caused the bloodiest war 1 1 history. If they had simply in- 1 *rted a line saying that no State 1 hall separate itself from this union, lere never would have been a civil ar. 1 "The mistakes of the 'fathers' have * een shown in many cases by 'judi- < ial interpretation' or when as Doo- 1 jy says, 'the Supreme Court fol- 1 )ws the-illickshun returns.'

"I am not saying that they did 1 ot try to do the best they could.

I Suffragettes Jubilant Over Majority of One Vote, Wliich Was & Surprise. Washington, March 19.?Women .uffrage advocates to-day lost their ight in the United States senate for i resolution proposing an amendnent to the Federal constitution givng women the ballot. The vote was 55 for the measure to 34 against it, i two-thirds affirmative vote being required for passage, and when it vas over suffragist leaders jubilant y pointed to me iiiiijuiic.v ui vug ao conclusive proof that their cause had scored a triumph in defeat, and was mmeasurably stronger than its oppolents ever had been willing to concede. To-day's action, following weeks >f debaCe on the floor of the senate, luring which many leaders in the suffrage movement pleaded for postponement of the final vote, marked ;he climax of a spirited campaign aunched here the day before the nauguration of President Wilson. Immediately after the vote Senaor Shafroth sought to introduce a lew resolution for a constitutional imendment requiring each State to rote on granting suffrage to women Dn petition from 5 per cent of its roters. The senate went into executive session before the senator could ?et the floor, however, and the resoution will be offered later. First by Chamberlain. The resolution defeated to-day svas the first introduced in the present congress.^ It was presented by Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, and the woman suffrage committee later authorized Senator Ashurst to report it favorably. Though otherwise the vote virtually was non-partisan, the Southern senators,'all democrats, lined up almost solidly against the amendment.rhey contended it would complicate the negro question in the States. Of the Southerners only Senator Ransiell, of Louisiana; Sheppard, of rexas, and Lea, oFT6nnessee, voted :or the resolution. Senator Vardaman led a movement among the friends of woman suffrage in the South to repeal the fifteenth amendment to the constitution, by which the States are prohibited from denying negroes the right :o vote. Vardaman's Position. With the negro question removed, le said, he favored the granting of suffrage to women. His.proposal was defeated, 49 to/<-19, and a proposition by Senator Williams to give the ballot to white women only was defeated, 44 to 21. The vote was preceded by a three-hours' kaleidoscopic debate on the various phases of suffrage. Senator Martine, of N'ew Jersey, was the only member who said he was opposed to woman suffrage on principle. He declared the participation of women in politics had failed to purify the ballot, ind that it would be a sad and sorry day for both women and men when they were given the ballot universally. The speeches of suffrage senators, he added, had excited in his mind the wonder if they found objection to the "Saviour for not r>Vior?ciricr <21Y r?f tVlP flOOStleS from among the women." Senator Gallinger declared it would be a crime to repeal the fifteenth amendment, even if it were a blunder to have passed it. Senator Townsend insisted it was no blunder to have passed it, and added it was not necessary to do injustice to the negro to do justice to women. White Man's Country. Senator Xewlands declared he favored making this a white man's country, so as to shut out the Japan2se, as well as the negro, but questioned the propriety of doing that on a woman suffrage proposition. Mrs. AJedill McCormick, chairman of the congressional committee of the National American Woman Suffrage association, issued a statement tonight claiming the majority vote as a victory. "For the first time in fifty years," she said, "the women of America demonstrated their impression upon the United States senate. It is a sign of the times and it portends that all womenhood in this country will be emancipated within :his generation." A statement issued by Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Congressional L'nion for Women Suffrage, regretred "that the democratic leaders in charge of the suffrage amendment n the senate allowed that measure to be wrecked for the time being by - - - - - t , . - MOURNED AT DENMARK. Death of Ira S. Garris at Savannah Grieves Community. ? M Denmark, March 24.?This town and community was grieved yesterday evening at a telegram from Savannah, Ga., telling of the tragic death of Mr. Ira S. Garris, son of ExRepresentative Calvin W. Garris, formerly of this place, but now of Savannah. The accident, which occurred at Cedar Grove Plantation, near Coffee Byuff, happened at 8 o'clock .Monday morning, at the sawmill of Mr. C. W. Garris. The gov ernor belt broke and the engine was . -'I running away at a terrific speed,' when young Garris, heedless of the danger, ran to the engine to cut off the power. It was while in the act of stopping the engine when a defective spoke In the fly wheel flew out inflicting fatal injuries to the unfor- ^ tunate-iyoung man. He was rushed to Park View Sanitarium immediately in an automobile where he died * shortly after noon. The body was brought here last night for' interment. Mr. Garris is survived by his ' ; v -i parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Garri^, of Savannah, Ga.; and one sister, Mrs. F. C. Chitty, of Norway, S. C. He was in the prime of young man, hood, being 20 years of age, and his friends here who are numbered by the score deplore his untimely end. Ale-Testing; Breeches. The antiquary waved his arm 1 proudly toward a miserable pair of old leather breeches, says The New VnrV Tribune "Look at the seat," he said. "They're ale testers' breeches? genuine sixteenth century ale testers' breeches. The seat proves it." Then the antiquary went on to ex- -t\M "To insure the wholesomeness of ale great precautions were taken in the eighteenth century; hence the 'ale testers', whose duty it was to' sample and report. His post, though no sinecure, required little intelligence, but leather breeches were indispensable. "He.would enter an inn unexpectedly, draw a glass of aie, pour it on a wooden bench and sit down in the j > little puddle he had made. Here he \ would sit for 30 minutes by the clock. He would converse, he would smoke and he would drink with all who asked him to, but he would be very careful not to change his posi- v ^^8 tion. At the end of the half hour he would make as if to rise, and this was the test of thd ale, for if the ale was impure, if the ale had sugar in it, the tester's breeches would stick to the bench." In the palm of the hand there are 2,500 pores to the square inch. If these pores were united, end to end, they would measure nearly five miles.
