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 world than now. The Lord must hrve made a mistake when he made wo an anyway, at least we would jud^i so by the indirect protests that ;re being raised by so many of that sex. There is nothing on earth that c immands the respect and admirp.t'on of man so much as a womanly woman. Nothing can inspire him to greater and nobler deeds. Women that deport themselves under a ruly feminine nature, that talk, o..t and dress as a woman should, exert a tremendous influence in he world. But when a woman m res herself conspicuous in an ende vor to assume the role of a man in in equal measure she loses the torc<- o: her womanhood, rherc is a tee...ig ct contempt in natural men n." womon. tor freaks ol b mi .uic, Lcic ' womanish :n is cai'e i a "Sissy ' and a r. . 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 won.e .ould claim that they have no ri^h.j when they live in touch with the youth from infancy to manhood. /hat greater opportunity tn influence the world could be had than this/ Here is the point of vantage id the duties and opportunities >f womanhood lie largely within this range. It is the influence of the firm virtue gentleness and pa deuce of mother that concontribut"? largely to the manhood of the \\ ?rld. This we place second only to the Christ life. It is a striking fact that women are jo much taken up with public and social affuirs and fashions that the more i -iportant duties of woman hood are sadly neglected. Women should rejoice in their womanhood for it lies within her sphere to develop character or eternal things whereas man must spend much of his time in temporal development. ?. .i i . . i .!; NEW COUNTY We do not know in what manner the business people of Leesville and Batesburg look upon the scheme of establishing a new county with the courthouse at Summerland. There may be some reasons justifying objection in individual cases but upon the v/hole we believe that much benefit will be derived by both towns, and it will be the means of finaily , uniting the two places. It seems that there may be much to gain and at least nothing to lose by favoring the proposition. We would be glad to have the sentiment of the people on this question.
