WOMEN INVITED.
Mr. C. R. Love, Chairman of
the County Democratic Executive
Committee, iri view of the fact
that Tennessee, the necessary 33th
State, has passed the suffrage
amendment, conferring on women
the elective franchise, invites the
women of Alamance to attend the
County Democratic Convention to
be held in Graham on Saturday,
2lst inst.
RATIFIES WITH STRING TO IT.
OA yesterday, 18th, Tennessee
ratified the woman suffrage amend
ment, but sent it out with a string
tied to it—Speaker Walker hav
ing changed his vote from "no" to
"aye" and lodging motion for re
consideration, which he must exer
cise in 84 hours or the passage
will become effective. Friday,
therefore, is the last day lor re
consideration.
NO STATE TAX.
Wednesday ni(,ht chairman R.
A. Doughton of the finance com
mittee stated, in reporting the
revenue bill, that no State tax on
property would be levied this
year, as the State's revenue from
other souroes would be sufficient
to meet expenses; and that prob
ably never again would the State
levy a property tax for its own
use.
This would be a happy condi
tion, provided the revenue shall
prove sufficient to do all those
things the State should do for the
betterment of all its institutions.
SENATE DODGES.
The State Senate on Tuesday
voted on a resolution to defer ac
tion on the suffrage amendment
till the regular term of the Gen
eral Assembly next January and
the resolution was carried by a
vote of 25 to 23.
Of the 25 voting "aye" 22 are
Democrats and 3 Republicans,
and of those voting "no" 18 are
Democrats and 5 Republicans.
One Republican failed to vote and
a Democrat was absent.
It is a clear case of dodging the
issue by both Democrats and Re
publicans. The platforms of both
parties—both State and national
—the party law, favor woman
suffrage.
If the thing they have done
rises up and smites them in the
face, who will say they are not
getting their deserts ?
Every Democrat should attend
the County Convention Saturday.
Aside from the nomination of a
county ticket, Hon. Cameron Mor
rison, Democrntic candidate for
Governor, will speak.
The Poles have halted the
"Reds" in the European war now
raging.

Federal Rtssrve Bank Put* Into Prac
tice Unique Schema to Circunv
vont Train Robber*.
A unique machine has been in
atalled in the basement of the Mem
phis branch of the federal reserve
bank. It destroys money and makes
it impossible for train robbers to
benefit if they should hold up a train
carrying parts of this money to
Washington. f
The currency selected/for destruc
tion is worthless for fur
ther uwin banks and by persons. It
is pickeJTlrat of the daily deposits
from banks made with the federaj
reserve branch, carefully tied in
packages of SIO,OOO each, then sent
to the basement, where each pack
age is placed in the jaws of the big
machine. A touch of a lever and
the jaws are brought together by
electric power. The SIO,OOO pack
age is cut in two.
Half of the money thus cut is
shipped to the United States treas
ury department at Washington. On
its receipt the officials telegraph its
arrival, then the other half is
started.
Simijar ones aro being installed in
all federal reserve banks and their
branches, and federal reserve bank
ing officials believe this will effec
tively circumvent train robbers or
others who might steal the money

TELLING If TO THE WORLD
Man Evidently Thought Prohibition
Officer Had a High Regard for
His Position.
Charles J, Orbison, federal prohi
bition director for the state of In
diana, is one of the active promoters
of the new Indianapolis Grotto o?
the Mystic Order of the Veiled
Prophets of the Enchanted Realm.
This order, it may be said, is the
third-degree Mason's playground,
and the official headgear is a fez.
Mr. Orbison, fez on his head, was
on his way the other day to the char
ter ceremonial session and oriental
love feast of the Qrotto when he
noted two men paying particular at
tention to the ffiz with the name of
the Grotto, "Sahara," emblazoned
across the front.
"Sahara." said one of the men,
"what in the deuce does that stand
for?"
"Say don't you know what that
fellow ia?" answered the other.
"He's the prohibition officer."
"You don't say," replied the first;
"Well I didn't think he was So proud
of his job that he tagged himself."

HISTORIC INACCURACY.
During the preparations for cele
brating the tercentenary of the sail-'
ing of the Mayflower, it has been dis
covered that in the fresco in one of
the corridors of the houses of par
liament in London, depicting the de
parture of the Pilgrim fathers, their
ship is flying the modern union
jack. Now, the union jack, as we
know it, did not come into existence
until 1801, at the time of the union
of Ireland with Gretft Britain, when,
the cross of St Patrick was added
to the British flag. The new stand
ard of the so-called United King
dom combined the crosses of St,
George, St Andrew and St. Patrick.

WENT OUT TO MEET BRIDES
k
New York Greeks Eager to Greet
Fiancee*, Most of Whom They
Had Never Scon.
It's a wise fiance who knors jas
bride-to-be, and vice veisa.
More than one hundred prospec
tive brides arrived at Xew Tork re
cently aboard the' steamer Magali
Hellas'of the Greek line, of whom
approximately seventy-five had nev
er seen tljeir husbands-to-be. The
matches had been planned according
to'the Greek custom whereby the
.parents of the young couple make
all arrangements for the marriage,
occasionally neglecting to introduce
the two parties chiefly concerned un
til the day of the wedding.
Pour boatloads of Greeks, come
to welcome their newly arrived life
mates, ny>st of whom they had not
yet met,-approached the/ liner in
midstream, lustily shouting the
names of their fiancees to the rows
of faces expectantly peering over the
(hip's rail.
AH would have gone well if some
of the young women hadn't "repeat
ed" and answered to several names.
Matters were finally adjusted by
means of photographs, which had
been mailed from Greece before
hand. The more patient bride
grooms-to-be, who had waited on>the
pier, didn't fare so well, however.
Of the 200 assembled on thp dock
more than 75 per cent were obliged
to return home brideless, as their
fiancees wore not aboard.

.WON LONGFELLOW'S PRAIS^.
"Longfellow's Indian" still stands
above the old flbw-disused cigar
store at 38 Cambridge street, Bos
ton, where since 1876 it has weath
ered the elements. The poet, in
passing from Cambridge to Boston
in the old days Mien Cambridge
street was the main thoroughfare
between the two cities, always paused
to express his admiration for the fine
workmanship of the Indihn figure.
Bow in one hand-, arrow in the oth
er, quiver slung over the shoulder,
blanket drqped gracefully, the neck
hung with wampum beads, the In
dian appears lifelike.
GIRL EXPERT COBBLER.
Mips Mary Pry» of Seattle, be
lieves a.girl should learn & trade.
She believes it so strongly that she
gave up a position in a department
store and started at the bottom of
her trade. She's still on the job and
is considered one of the most expert
cobblers in that city. She's also
learning to make shoes to start in
for herself some day .soon. "We've
got tp get back to first principles
and learn to use our hands again,"
she says. "I doubt if many womeft
•re as happy in their work as I am.
It's because I'm making something."
Q4GANTICTABK.
The house committee on revision
of the laws is now engaged in col
lecting all the feleral statutes into
one book. At present they are scat
tered through 36 books which musf
be examined to make sure of any
law. This is the first time that such
a work has baen undertaken in 46
years. Representative Edward C.

Monroe Journal.
While Mr. Parker is claiming
that he will be elected govetfrior
in November, Mr. Frank Linney
and Mr. John M. Morehead, who
control the Republican organisa
tion in this State, are content to
claim only 28 of the hundred
counties for their ticket. Mr.
Parker is either badly deceiving
himself, or Messrs. Linney and
Morebtad, veteran politicians, and
much older at the g£me, had bet
ter go to Cleveland county and
begin anew the stndy of politics
under some of those youngßters
who know more about this science
before they are in the third read
er than does the average Mecklen
burg county lawyer. Mr. Parker
really believes he is going to be
elected. Possibly his optimism is
attributable to*his youthful en
thusiasm, which was stirred to
the exultant stage by the cordial
reception he received on his last
speaking tour.
Delivering the goods is as impor
tant as getting the order.
