We believe that it would be a popular thing for! any proprietor ot a show bouse to refuse a seat ' to any lady who would not remove her HaU One-pays the pri?e of admission to seQ the show and not to ace a pret ty hat.

CHILDREN'S PLAY GROUND. , 'Mr. Furmnn -Smith's offer to furnish the garden seed free with which to plant gardens in the vacant lota all over the city ia one that should gain the attention bf tho Behool official a. and Mlaa Carlington, wno baa the Girls' Canning Clubs under her charge. President Patterson, of the National Cash Register Company, Ot Dayton, Ohio, when confronted'with the prob lem of keeping the boys and glrla Who?? fathers worked In the Nation al Cash Register plant, out of mis chief, conceived the plan of "vacant lot gardening," and offered free gar den seeds; together with prises for the best yields and best specimens of dif ferent vegetables; Vie also agreed to purchase all their} produce,, provided they first supplied their home table. This plan not oaly solved hts unem ployed problem but .-taught these youngsters how - to garden, supplied the homes of his employees with fresh and wholesome vegetables, ?nd helped to beautify, these vacant lot?, which had formerly been eyesores to the public. With Mr. Smith's proposition, the etty? '".hoc! officials could cosily set the permission of the. owners , of enough vacant lota near thG different school buitditaga^ - probably get the city to have their teams break up tho ground and prepare it for planting with very little expense, then have the lota) Alf out irtte attractive and pracUcal'garden*, under the supervis ion of our county farm expert, who would no doubt be glad of the oppor tunity uf teaching these children Ute rudiments of gardening.

It Would do your heart good to see the youngsters playing oat In the dif ferent school yarda on these ground apparatus. The money earned from all these vegetables could be pooled and enough money la one sea son caa be earned to boy play things to equip all the Behool grounds ot the city. Thia method or plan gives aa added Incentive to the children, be sides they will be taught "how to make two blades of grass grow where one frew before," aa Wizard Burbank would sa*.

WOMANS SUFFRAGE The Intelligencer la'In favor ot wo men, bavine th? rtgnt to .vote ta Roath Carolina, and we trust that the pres ent session of the Legislature will great them thia right, according to the kill introduced hy Representative Mc Cullough Of Greenville: There ta ab solutely no goo* reason why women should not have the right to vote, the aa How much better citizens would they be If the women who teach them had the right of suffrage, and, therefore, increased interest in matters "Of gov ernment, v . . The history ot those States where women vete nhows that every one ot them has certain rights and lawn for Hi,, good of the State not in posses sion of those States where women ar? denied the privilege of voting. Thia ls especially true in reference to school laws and child labor, to say nothing of laws on subjects of pecu liar interest to women. The chief argument is that women do not want to vote. This is on a par with that other threadbare and false argument that prohibition does not prohibit. Of course all women will not vote, any more than all men do not vote, but why should those who with to vote be deprived of tue right be cause all of them do not wish to ex. erclse the right? We trust the legis lature will grant them the right, and if this is done, we shall predict the enactment of some much needed legis lation in the near future. 81TP0HT YOUR LOCAL PAPER Very few people realize how hard the presa of the South baa been hit since the war began. A local paper receives its revenues j from "foreign" advertising, \occ\ advertising and subscriptions. Foreign advertising is advertising received from mail order houses, I j patent medicine firms, etc., from ont- , side the Immediate territory covered by the publication and such advertis ing la to a largo extent cancelled 1 because of thP Impression that there j 1 ls little buying power In the South at 11 this time. Local advertising has been serious ly curtailed because many of the local merchants have been in tight places 11 because of their Inability to collect 11 accounts due by farmers. The papers must therefore, depend at thia time largely upon subscrip tions and we appeal to the mill peo ple of every town or village to aid their local papers to weather this storm by paying what they owe their j meal paper on subscription or send ing them a new subscription. A local paper ls an asset to every i town and village and knowing the serious ilnanclnl condition of most of them at present we make this appeal In their behalf. Every dollar counts with a local paper now and the amount of the sub scription nf the mill population would tide over many of them -Southern Textile Bulletin. THE WAREHOUSE BILL Representative George Warren, one , of the youngest members ot the House 5 of Representatives, has gotten Into ( the public eye by the bill he baa In- 4 traduced Into the House to repeal the 1 act passed last year to create a state * cotton warehouse system. Mr. Warren 1 thinks the powers granted the ware- ' bouse commissioner are being used 1 to build up a political machine In the 1 State, and as such he ls opposed to ' further appropriations for carrying on ' this policy. Hts view is held by a great ' number of representative men from 1 all sections of tho State, and the out- 1 come of the matter will bs watched 1 with interest. The News and Courier has the fol lowing to say about thia bill: lt Is puzzling that thor? ahouIdVbave been an unfavorable committee report on Representative Warren's bill to re peal the act passed as the extraordi- . nary session bot fall for tho crea tion ot a State cotton warehouse oyo?, tem. ;> The Btatb warehouse commissioner bas reported to the Gonoral Assem bly that an appropriation" of U37,7 337.681 Ia necessary for the continua tion and development of the system. We do not believe that the publie fa vors for a moment such an extraord inary expenditure under existing con ditions. What the people expect of the General Assembly la that lt shall do everything tn its power to reduce pub. lie expenses so that if possible the tax levy may be decreased. The State cotton warehouse system will not be worth anything unless it is liberally financed. The State io not tn position to do this. Besides, lt has not been established that private capi tal ls not smply able to meet the situ ation. The Legislature has already spent f 15,000 on this experiment The net results BO far are odorous of politics. STREET PA?!!??

I*bavo been Impressed by your ab]? dilo'rlalS on many, aubjecta and ?s teclally on prohibition. I have been overeating in contradicting your opin ons wtth tht results of my own ob ervatlons in Kansan, i?y native State, vblch Justly claims to be the repr?s entative of prohibition. For many ears Kansas did not strictly enforce ter prohibitory lawa; for the past de sde and more under Hoch, Stubbs md other leaders of both parties, (ansas baa deserved to be called pro motion territory; and In 1908 the leg slature passed the most drastic pro ilbitory law In the lend. When we are old, therefore, that prohibition in (ansas is a failure, let us Inquire con ernlng the year when it failed. Pro ilbltlon will not of Itself prohibit anv iling, even in Kansas. Passing by the- more Important iiiestion concerning the value of statewide prohibition, a question on vhich the experience of Kansan hrowa a pleasing tight, let us : asa vhetber lt prohibits, for no matter tow good the policy may appear, it ts melesa, harmful, If lt can. not be car led out among men who thirst for trink. The people among " whom 1 er ved for three years afl a Home mts lonary. beginning in 1908, were by no neena .angelic; tn <fact]l prefer the ?pople among whom I now live; but be better the people, tho easier lt ibould prove to enforce prohibition. Let me show ho;, .prohibition pro ilbited in two, rural, immunities. For wo years I worked In Walton, Kan.', vhere practically every person ,tn the rlllsge and surrounding country be loved In prohibition, and during that Ime I never heard ,a; criticism of the nar.her in which the-liquor lawa w,ere mforced.

He pub lished every reply, and with few ex ceptions, these representative men of the State agreed with him that the prohibitory law was as easily enforced in Kansas, and as well enforced as any other important law. It is signifi cant that the governor, with his eyes I then fixed upon a seat in the United State? senate, should tlx the gase ot the electors upon the way In which, he had enforced the distinctive law of i the State. Iti to significant, too, that no min lukewarm OD the enforcement of this law has in the past decade re ceived ( more than a moiety of ' tho votes cast in any State-wide election. . ' During tho three years of my active j] ministry In Kansas I never heard a Kansan discuss tte question whether prohibition prohibits br. not. If per chance-euch a follow should arise, his townsmen would begin to talk about ?grinding him to the hospital for the feeble-minded. But as I traveled Up and down the State on the raicead, 1 heard tourists and others from the Bast cursing th? laws which would pot , permit thom to satisfy their thirst.
