Out of a natural feeling of respect for womanhood man is slow to express himself or take an open stand against the advocates of woman suffrage. ~ If the concrete was made to match the abstract nature in every in itance, there would be lots more do'ng in the pants business of the UP world than now. The Lord must m' hrv? made a mistake when he made Pr wo an anyway, at least we would jud^o so by the indirect protests ^ that ire being raised by so many of that ^ex. There is nothing on earth v< that c Dmmands the respect and ad- T mirat'on of man so much as a wo- 0< manly woman. Nothing can inspire 31 him to greater and nobler deeds. tr Women that deport themselves un- 3C der a ruly feminine nature, that P talk, o.-.t and dress as a woman Ci should, a::ert ? tremendous influ- s1 ence in he world. But when a wo- l( man m :es herself conspicuous in c an ende vor to assume the role of a s man in an equal measure she loses ^ the force o her womanhood l-.ur is a ree. ng ot contempt in natural J mcr. women for freaks of nb- } struc na.ure, hcncf a womanish man: is cai'e I a ' Sissy" and 3 i '.> j nish woman "General," or some other masculine term. It ^ is our opinion that the more well preserve 1 the distinction between the dutie, of womanhood and manhood the greater the blessing to the human : :e. It is very strange that ei won.e .ould claim that they have b no riffh.j when they live in touch ^ with the youth from infancy tomanhood. ./hat greater opportunity tr tr? influence the world could be had ^ than this.' Here is the point of u] vantage id the duties and oppor- M tunities >i womanhood lie largely C1 SI within this range. It is the influtc ence of the firm virtue gentleness ^ and patie.ice of mother that con- tfc contributes largely to the manhood vi of the u jrld. This we place second only to the Christ life. It is a striking fact that women are so much taken up with public and social affnirs and fashions that the i3i more i -iportant duties of woman ra hood are sadly neglected. Women should rejoice in their womanhood ?r IS for it lies within her sphere to de- ^ velop character or eternal things w whereas man must spend much of ar his time in temporal development. h< 1 r th NEW COUNTY to We do not know in what manner hp the business people of Leesville and rir Batesburg iook upon the scheme of establishing a new county with the courthouse at Summerland. There W may be some reasons justifying ob- as jection in individual cases but upon th, the whole we believe that much ben- an efit will be derived by both towns, UF w? and it will be the means of finally , uniting the two places. It seems that there may be much to gain and tw at least nothing to lose by favoring to the proposition. We would be glad to have the sentiment of the people Af on this question.
