WOMAN SUFFRAGE AGAIN. Mr. Murphy Makes His Second 1 and,hast Reply. But it is s > Forceful One. Mr. Editor:?Plewe allow me space 1 to reply to Miss Garner, this my second and last timet Our genial advocate of woman's 1 suffrage gets enthusiastic and soars op > into tne "seventh hearenaa she point* ? to the glorious careers of the Chinese \ Empress end the Queen of England. * it is an acknowledged fact that China * is in the baokgronnd to the other na1 tions of the world, and its inflaenoe is * not felt near so strong as the sympa1 thetio feeling other nations hare for 1 that low, debased, ignorant, savage - olass of people,who now inhabit China. In the 17th oentnry Qhengis Khan, 1 an Asiatic conqueror, invaded China ' and paved the way for the first Mon r gol dynasty, whioh was in effect for * nearly one hand red years, and it was * daring this reign that Maieo Polo visited Chlaa and vm so favorably inapu?ud with the advancement of the MiUra monarch*, if we are to jjd?ef,o? big glowing description. But the 17th century witnessed an ion of Tartar*, who bended the dfiaitr which now gorlrnt the era pirf. Under the present ruler everything is at a stand still, sod will be so as losg as the present Ewpreei rules eith absolute power, far no one dares to introduce any improvement or ehanga. And those, who go from civilised nations to carry light and troth _ si ?.ne n . ?U HHH Mipuo people, meet with el most oasarmown table obitacles from the hands of thie "intelligent old n:H v rhat is the Qoeea of Bhglhnd d<* ing to-day?

It is with her own hands that s)w awards tier soldiers for "gall and serrice"reodered in expelling those Boers from the homes they aire settled and lore as ardently as Queen Victoria lores her mansions in London. On the other hand the empire oi Germany is ruled by a man and what is ther result?- Germany stands in the foreground with the other Dnwrricim nation* of the world. It wis a man's influence that reclaimed Germany when It was a scene of disorder, and H* patriotism had ebbed to the lowest degree. Nearer still our own loved United 8tates figures conspicuously in the world's history beoaute men planned its form df government and fixe! its laws. Men it is who aooomplish the brave and daring achievements and walk dangerous paths with hearts as light as when they tread the easy roads of safety. In suoh plaoes women would be oat of their proper plaoes because of their inability to rightly oontrol themselves and those who wonld noceesarily be under their power to exe* O?" Van WQfB* are more than that, they are enlightened and are respectful towards women. Bat the voters of our land, intelligent as they are, I do not believe would have as great respect for a woman who goes to the ballot box to cast her vote as they would for the gentle, modest lady, who stays away and does not aspire to public offioe. Her priceless jewel, modesty, would be effaced if not entirely destroyed. Paul tells us in 1st Timothy, 2nd chapter, 12-14 veraee: "But I suffer not a woman to teaoh, nor to usurp authority orer the men but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed then Ere. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was iu the transgression." What an argument against woman's suffrage! The poet beautiful said: "The hand that rooks the cradle rules the world." Woman is supremf in her sphere, which is in helping the needy and caring for the sick and many other ways where gentleness end kindness are essential. also assistln such, j but women are out of their plaoe at the ballot box. The sun, moon and planets hare their orbits in which to move. Think of the effect produced if a member of this grand machinery should go contrary to the way destined by the omnipotent hand, so with women. They are as much ont of their orbit at the ballot box, as the sun would be in the moon's orbit. It was through the indefatiguable efforts of Pericles that Greece was brought to that high standard of culture and refinement The Augustian age Is pointed to as the central point in Um world's history. The most isfluential factors in the world's history hare bees men, and they are the proper and oapable sex to rale. I do not pray for an untimely end to this generation of meo, bat God forbid that they qhoqld see woman's su&raae granted. "It wonld be better ror them if a millstone was tied to their seeks and they were cast into the sea." I am done. W. Juneow Murphy. Bedalia, 8. C., October 6,1900.

' 1 FARM LANDS ADVANCING, I 1 The World Is Beginning to Realize i That Coition Lands are Valuable. > c Speaking of the efe^t of the ootton ' market an farm lands, Mr. Charles J. Rfidoatjr - nftkwb "V^taVof. Dolitical 4 Gvjrgia land, said: ' The rite in ootton land means more than the grower's profit on the one-crop. The experience for the past 12 months hat dispelled a nightmare. Cotton growers had come to believe in a perrenial over-production of cotton. The impression has been, universal throughout the South that the spinners oT New England and Europe were steeped in raw cotton, and tnat the merchants of the w6rld were groaning beneath a load of ootton goods. Hence, tha cotton grower planted in ashes and gatherad in sack oloth and worked out what he believed to be his remediless fate. The season of 1896 was a campaign of education. W? now know that the world 1 pint all that it grows and wears nil 1 that it weaves. The skid's market widens, while the qrea of production 1 dqes not. Qqring the Bryan-McKinley campaign of 1896, Mr. Patterson, president ot a large insurance oompany and a leading financier of New England, said to me he thought the out* look was nearly hopeless for the cotton growers of the South. He said that while a young man, 40 years before, he made a tour of the upper Nile, the territory that Sir Herbert Kitcho ener was then preparing to take for the British government, and he found the region so rich and vast and labor so cheap, that onoe in the hands of England it would be the end of the American cotton monopoly. The English have been in possession of this territory now for three years, and the Nile has not yet been heard of as an element in theootton market The supply of labor and available land* in the South are hardly tnffioient to meet the world's increasing demands for cotton. The next thing we will hear (indeed, it is alrea4y being felt in a measure) will he an advance in ootton lands, lately I have talked with a , number of ieadtnit buaness men in , oountry town* ana I have been ?urprieed to find how many of them are putting their spare money in iarm had:. They tell me that iheee land* have been bringing a net return of from 10 to 20 per cent What haa been termed the "land poor" class will 1 soon eeaae to exist. The oottou grower haa oeme to be respected in 1 the eyee of the eonaumer and his landa will aoon be reapeoted by the inveetor and the capitalist."?Ghaa. J.
