Anthony constitutional amendment to the States would be > renewed when the sixty-sixth cong- i ress convened. ' On the final roll call today fifty- 1 fivc senators?one less than the re- i ?juiri'u iwo-minis?vou-n lor adoption of the resolution and 20 ? senators cast their ballots against it. 1 Senator Pollock voted and spoke in favor of the amendment. In his ad- < dress Mr. I'ollock denied the conten- , tion that the amendment would af- ' feet the white rule in the South and < declared that women had earned the right of suffrage hy their work in the ' war. ! "They earned this consideration," ' Senator Pollock said, "at the hands -4 of manhood of America before this ' awful war, and who will say that 5 the women of this land have not 1 doubly earned all they ask, all they* desire; all that could be bestowed ( upon them, by their magnificent spir '' it of patriotism since we have been > engaged in this war for world freedom? America has done and is do- 1 ing with women's help what she nev- s er could have done without it. N "The argument that this is a matter for action by the States and that 1 to pass this resolution is a violation 1 of states' rights is not a reason but an excuse on the part of many for J opposing this resolution and a very 1 poor excuse at that.

' HUSTLE?SELL EVERY THING? he people: Again the woman suffrage amendment resolution has been defeated in the Senate by a narrow margin, and the majority party in the senate has; issumed a fearful responsibility in lenying to the States the right to >ass on the proposed amendment. * Eighteen democrats killed the intendment and one of them would lave saved it. Woman suffrage, the recoirnition of vomen's equality with men, has come llmost everywhere except in the United States, even Germany in the irocess of its reorganization giving fs women full rights of citizenship. Of all the countries in which womm sutTrag,. was thought impossible rive years ago, Great Britain, perhaps, r.-u; and yet in the present elections not only did British women , .v.,..ne on an equality with Britsh men, but one of their number i*as elected to parliament. The righteousness and justice of die principle of woman suffrage seems to have sunk deeply into the heart and conscience of the whole .vorld; but a few mossbucks in the United States senate still stand out igainst it, and for their stubbornicss their party must pay! The women of this country are *oing to be given the rights of citizenship, just as they have been given t in other enlightened countries. They are no longer going to peril it themselves to be placed in the lecondary and subservient attitude in vhich the Turkc place their women. Yet that is the position to which he senate mossbacks would relegate hem. The democrats in the senate had yesterday an opportunity to annex lie extension of equal rights to voman as a party asset. They let it MISS. Their failure constitutes a serious >arty liability, of which the republican majority in the next congress nay be relied upon to make the most! LEAGUE OF NATIONS PLAN At the meeting in Chicago of the Congress of the League to Enforce 'eace Ex-president Taft was the irincipa! speaker. He urged the supiort of President Wilson in his fight or a league of nations. He said the efeat of Germany would not bring lermanent peace without a treaty by league of nations. iMr. Taft suggested the following lan for such a league: "First, tve will have the internaional court; second, the council of onciliation; third, the agreement for rgani/.ing economic powers and miliary forces if need be, and, fourth nd final, the congress of powers. "All that this league proposes is hat every nation shall enjoy comlete sovereignty withiiw the limitaions of international law," Some of the Republican brethren 'ho are criticising President Wilson, or advocating a League of Peace had etter consult their ex-president be ore going too f?r. j I ' T, " rk.vr . rZL ' > i 'RICE v P Ef P a 31 S w s tl RDISON i 14th I ht, the 22d i L i liss.

The epidemic prevails throughout almost the entire world and already the victims accrctl- 'n ited to it exceed the combined killed the on all sides during the recent world l'n war,despite the face that the war con- -hi tinucd four years and the influenza in epidemic has been gencrbl only for i little more than six months. Quarantine precautions, inocula- Sti tion, and all the plans that have been launched, have not served to entirely *s :heck the onward march of the dis- inl ease. The government experts have -el studied the situation in every intri- of cate detail and an investigation which wc has just been concluded only adds to ov the dilemma of treating the disease. Ac A hundred young naval volunteers were subjects on whom experiments ly were tried. po Prior to the experiment influenza ev musKs were widely used and genera'- ro ly advocated, the belief being that go the influenza was strictly a mouth and lo' troat disease. Every detail tending to develop infection this way, was er curried out, but it was shown to the en satisfaction of the. investigating phy- th sicians that this method was not the up sole source or even general method ra of infection, but it is urged, however, T1 that particular attention be given to iti coughing, sneezing and expectorat- da ing. co Two other investigations, similiar- a ly conducted, proved conclusively pi that further medical research must ft be made before there is any solution th found of the influenza mystery, which go remains as baffling as it ever has been ar in the past. as The present world-wide epidemic is is the most general and most destruct- at ive that has ever been experienced, di The first recorded trouble with influ- ha enza comes from Italy, the attack er being in thc seventeenth century, fo The next century it appeared in fe France and was styled lagrippe and since that time it has been recorded sp in different parts of the world'from gc time to time. Its general spread at ar this time would ordinarily be attrib- th uted to transportation conditions, ar but whatever research has been made ti< indicates that this has but little to m do with it. pt In 1782 the disease first became ih known in England and shortly after pi its outbreak a British squadron, far 1 1 A I ?2 ALJ- r uut at Duaf tuat uuu nut Ufl'll wunin lb a hundred miles of land since the 111 outbreak of the epidemic, was so st disabled by illness of the sailors, that fa it had to put back to port. Again ih n 1848 there was a recurrence of the It disease and 7,963 people are report- to ed as having died from th? disease on h< the British islands. ,.0 The first general attack in the b? United States came in 1890-91, but o\ it was confined mostly to large cities, cc so far as the record goes, and even tli then it was not a very malignant n< type, the death rate being very low, th comparatively spoaking. At the same fr period, however, the epidemic was prevalent in Italy, the West Indies, or " Egypt and China, the general estim- br ate being that the mortality doubled th .he 'death rate of the sections af- te fected. f fa Theoretical deductions made b> sa the medical world at that time were w to the effect that the disease appar- ai ently made its greatest ravages af- w tor severe winters lint nn uihal., r?. it did not confine itself to any pari lo of the world, wind, climate or weath- bt er not in any way playing a part in pt the spread of the disease. at: The disease is difficult to handle because of the short-lived character tii of the germs. Its sudden attack th makes it impossible to protect others w: from the disease and a diagnosis is ta frequently impossible before the in- ur fluenza has made great inroads on in the system of the patient. ar There are four types of the disease wl catalogued by the medical fraternity, mi being that of febrile, which usually ar upplies to children, respiratory, gas- gi tro-intenstinal and nervous, the of second named and the latter being tii the worst forms. It is pointed out, dr There is a Dancl1 D Luce i. A-.. I.M UIII ipi mm* < t ?.TJ ' P " ! ??????^ Wv?t, that colds and coughs are ; necessarily related to the disease, ugh the condition of the health tilting from this .cause may confute to the progress of the influ:a germs. raking the situation all in all it wears' as if really but very little >grcss has been made in coping h influenza so far as a preventive concerned, x. >CK HILL MAN URGES SETTER ROADS AND SCHOOLS R. A. Wilson, of Rock Hill, argues a recent issue of The State, that ;re are two things that South Caroa needs more than anything else at s time. They are better roads d better education. "In education," says Mr. Wilson, e stand at the bottom of the list of ates, and I am not so sure but that r standing in roads is just about bad. If we ever expect to develop a great State and palce our!ves in a position to take advantage the wonderful opportunities that : are blessed with, we will have to ercome these two outstanding dif..n: uivies. "The two questions are so intimteconnected that it is well nigh imssible to separate them. If we er have better education the good ads will follow and if we have the od roads better education will folw. "If you will pardon a personal refence I would like to cite an experiice of my own that will illustrate e value of good roads. I own a farm >on which I have been trying to ise produce to supply my hotel, le road is so bad that it iB not profible to bring the produce in e cry iy as we need it. On account of this ndition I have been trying to buy place on a better road and sell the ace I now have. I have been ofred $60 per acre for my place and e best price that I can find on a iod road they ask $100 per acre for id the land is nothing like so good the on my place. Now there a difference of $40,per acre due isolutely to a better road. Now d it ever occur to you that wc could ive the best roads that money and igineering ability could construct r a very small fraction of this difrence? "It is useless to waste time and iace trying to stress the value of >od roads, for I believe that they e valuable beyond measure. The ing that concerns us most is how e we going to get them. This quesjn has been answered in a masterful anner by the State highway camlign committee in co-operation with ie State highway commission. Their an is absolutely practical and fair. "The question arises as to the lirness of taxing the automobile for ie proposed highway system. To art with the roads were fairly satisictory for horse-drawn traffic before ie automobile came into existence, is a well recognized fact that aumobiles tear up roads worse than >rse-drawn vehicles. Anothe.r thing be considered is, who is asking for itter roads, the farmer or the auto vner. If there has ever been any mcerted movement on the part of ie farmers for better roa^s I have ;ver neara 01 it. un me oiner nana, le auto owners are raising a howl om the mountains to the sea for ;tter roads, and they are asking no le to pay for them either. They say lild the roads and let us pay for iem. Now, of course, such a sysm of roads is bound to benefit a irmer beyond measure, but .1* he is .tisfied with what he has a:. 1 is unilling to pay for any improvement, id the auto owner is not satisfied ith what he hus and is willing to ly for something better, I am at a ss to understand why he should not ; allowed to pay the bill. Most es;cia 11 y when he is going to make >out 500 per cent, on his investment. "Another question that is somemcs asked is, what assurance will e property holder have that there ill be any automobiles to pay the xes in ten years from now? I am iwilling to believe that there is an telligent man in the State who has ty idea that the time will come hen there will not be some kind of a otor-driven vehicle to use the roads id pay the tax. The gasoline enne may be superseded by some form power unknown at the present ne, but there will still be motoriven vehicles on the roads subject |0R I Touring Wait is Auto ' "V '.a ? . :,> V * * *-. " ' 1 to license. "About the last stand that the. opponents of this plan take is to ques- ^ tion the constitutionality of a license tax on automobiles. He will try to make you believe that it is class legislation. If it is constitutional to tax automobiles 25 cents per horse-power for the pleasure of plowing through our mud roads, why is it not constitutional to tax them $1 per horsepower to travel nicely paved roads, especially when he is the man that is proposing the tax. "This is a busy age that we are living in and a man's time is worth money, very often big money, and I am convinced that such a system of highways will save millions of dollars in the time of busy men as well as other millions in the weartnd tear on autos and the saving of gasoline and oil. "In conclusion permit me to say that I hope our legislature will put their shoulder to the wheel and help pull South Carolina out of the mud by passing the legislation asked of them." MRS. J. A. TREADAWAY Mrs. Rena Tucker Treadaway. wife of Mr. J. A. Treadaway, aged 29 years, died at her home in North of Wadesboro Thursday morning, January 16th, 1919, of pneumonia, following an attack of influenza. She was sick only a short time. Everything was done for her that could be done by friends, neighbors ind medical skill, but God in His wisdom knoweth best, so He took her to be with Him. She died trusting in Jesus. She .jaid a short while before she died that she was trusting in the blessed Savior. Whatever He did would be Bright with her, and she was ready o go. She was a member of the Baptist church. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother and a good neighbor and will be missed by all who knew her. She leaves a husband \nd peven children to mourn her leath. The oldest child is 13 years if age and the youngest is two years. Her father and mother and six sis.ers and two brothers survive her. The burial took place at the Seago rraveyard Thursday evening, and was conducted by the Rev. W. H. Reddish. I.L.T. THE BRITISH EMBARGO Some sensation has been caused by 'he promulgation of orders by the British government for certain restrictions of the import trade which some assumed would exclude American goods from the British markets. It was explained on Feb. 1 that only measurable restriction and not exclusion was intended. The goods in question are of two classes. Importations of food and raw material will be restricted, or subjected to license, because of world-wide scarcity of them; an arrangement which is to go into effect July 1st. The other class, comprising a great variety of manufactured goods, will also bc sujected to a license system as a ijiuch needed measure of protection' to British manufactured goods, corresponding somewhat with the American protec.ive tariff. It was indicated on February 5 that similar action was to be .aken by the French government for similar reasons. Americas Troops to Be Withdraws From Archangel The withdrawal of American troops from Northern Russia at thp oossible moment was officially announced by Secretary of War Baker in a letter to Senator Chamberlain, who is chairman of the Military Affairs Committee. No definite word as to when the troops would be withdrawn except that it would he early in the spring, was given in Mr. Baker's letter. y-., THE BEST OfEverything TO EAT At Lowest Prices A. F.
