who is also a well-known business
man and a former municipal official.:
has recently taken unto himself as a
conjugal partner? a charming young
*"*t ? 1_ r

the correctness of the rumor in this
case, but we have it from the lips
of another very energetic business
man, well-known throughout the
county, that before another Thanksgiving
Day rolls 'round he will have
something to be more thankful for
than he has today?a wife. There
is still another, and another--really
h good pair of successful bachelors
still here, and prominent in the
' * community's business affairs, of
whom we hear no word of hymeneal
connection or matrimynial intrigue,
but it is an undeniable fact that.
either one of the pair would be a
splendid catch for any dame who
wants to live at ease and be able to
enjoy the intellectual and social
qualities of these middle-aged bachelors.
Ladies, neither of them is a;
bit bashful! Try your luck. Names

SANTEE BRIDGE PROPOSITION
Considered at Meeting in Florence Last
Friday by Representative Body.
A meeting of representative citi-;
zens of several of the Pee Dee counties
was held at the Pine Wood
Club in Florence last Friday to dis- j
cuss the proposed crossing of the;
Santee river. The opinion was
unanimous that the Santee be bridg-,
pd if possible, but in the event that
a bridge cannot now be constructed,
economically then it was the opinion
of the meeting that a ferry
should be provided at the most convenient
point.
A very free and exhaustive discussion
as to the feasibility of cross- i
ing the Santee. both by bridge and
ferry, at each of the proposed points
from Rimini to Georgetown, together
with the relation of each point of
crossing with respect to general
travel from the Pee Dee section to
the southern and southwestern portions
of the State, was entered into
* * zv* i
into and a resolution was onerea;
that it was the sense of the meeting,
that a committee be sent to Columyesterday
to appear before the high- j
way commission and urge the erec-:
tion of a bridge across the Santee ati
some point east of Ferguson, with |
the alternative of a ferry.
The members of the committee
are Dr Olin Sawyer of Georgetown,
Capt Walter H Andrews of Andrews,
P G Gourdin of Kingstree, T W i
Boyle of Greelyville, Dr A H Wil-j
liams of Lake City, W H Keith of;
Timmon9ville, E B Berry of Latta
and E L Moore of Dillon, together
with Congressman J Willard Rag9- i
dale and the members of the State
delegations, county supervisors and
county commissioners of all of the
Pee Dee counties.
"Birth ot a Nation** Coming Here
D W Griffith's master production.
"The Birth of a Nation,"will be the
attraction at the school auditorium
here commencing an engagement of
two night9 and two matinees Friday,
December 7.
It will be brought here in exact
reproduction of the greatest attrac-i
tion which is now in New York,
where it has broken every record of
the American stage. These achievements
alone have aroused more comment
upon the subject of this great
story than was ever devoted to a
theatrical enterprise before.
The merest statement regarding!
"The Birth of a Nation" leaps to I
superlative because there is no other
form in which it can be written.
Simple facts in relationship to its
developments sound extravagant until
you have seen the production and
realized a tithe of its sweep and
power.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor for i
35 years, was reelected at Buffalo,;
last week virtually without opposi-1
tion and with him were returnd to!
office every officer of the federa- j
tion, except Treasurer Lennon who !
was defeated by A L Tobin.

IMPORTANT MOTICE!
This is to advise all merchants
carrying fireworks in
9tock through the Christmas
Holidays that it is necessary
form them to secure a permit
from the insurance companies
ca.rying insurance on their
stocks. Unless this is done
their policies are declared null
and void. The insurance companies
are very strict about
thim matter, and we suggest
that the merchant; take advantage
of this warning. This
also applies to policies covering
buildings containg such
stocks.
Sincerely yours.

The Woman Suffrage Movement.
j Editor County Record:
Now that there is established and
1 actively at work a South Carolina
branch of the National Woman's
? Party, may I,through your columns,
I make clear the sole object of this orII
ganization? "To secure an amendJl
ment to the United Slates Constitu
i tion enfranchising women." We are
f asking for a federal suffrage amend1
ment, because it is the only direct
- road to national enfranchisement.
J The amendment provides that "the
i right of citizens of the United States
to vote shall not be denied or abridg1
ed by the United States.or any State,
- on account of sex. It does not say
* that all women.must vote, nor does it
fj decide what women shall vote. It
i! merely lays down the broad princia'
pie that a citizen shall not be discri1
j minated against politically,simply on
n the grounds of being a woman.
Russia, England and Canada, in
s war, have given their women a voice
i in omnommpnt. Our administration
I1" ftVTV..?
is needing millions of women to car";
ry on the work of this nation in the
s 1 field, the shop, and the ractory; it is
.! high time that the disadvantages une
. der which women now labor be re_
moved, and that they be placed on a
": political basis equal to that of the
t1 men whose places they are now fill1
ing.
! Congress, in its war session,found
aj time to consider two important do'
mestic matters, one of which was
- Woftian Suffrage. The Senate re1
ported the Susan B Anthony resolu- j
y tion for equal suffrage out of com-1
k mittee; he House created a commit- J
s tee on Waman Suffrage.
5 Congress should pass the Suffrage j
Amendment at this December ses- j
