WALSER ON SUFFRAGE. I 1 l I L It I l ( I The following letter, written by Mr. jfcbuloa Walser, of Lexington, is such a clean cut answer to some of the stock objections of doubting- pol iticians on one of the livest issues in the world today that we reproduce it: Mr. Walscr's Letter. ' Woman's stiff -ago has lost its first battle in the States of New York, Massachusetts and 1'or.v.sylvania. This is not a defeat, but merely a postponement. The first battle has generally hecu lost by the champions of any new canfe involving the radi cal changing of the Government. Re forms do not succeed today, but are crowned with suece.-.s tomorravv. Rev olutions tlo not go backward. The rignt ot women to vole is no longer a deb: liable question. It has long since passed from the realms of doubtful questions. When we think of men deciding upon the right of women to vote wo can inly exclaim: 'Angels and ministers of ;vraee defend us,' j "Every uitempt to extend the wuf frage has been fought bitterly. Ev ery clfort to hand the Government over to all the people has been con tested inch by inch. The dire prc- tions made relative to the dangers besetting these reforms have in every nstanco failed to come true. I do not hesitate to say that the only hope of true democracy in America is the right of women to vote. It may be well at this time to re-state some of the reasons urged in th.' recent con test in behalf of the right of wimcn to vote. These reasons appear to be tina.rswerable. "Women will vote intelligently and as intelligently as men can. Their votes will not be influenced by inte rior motives, as have men's votes have been no often influenced. "The obvious benefits and justness of woman's suffrage would far out weigh any problematical harm which might ariKe from women voting. "Women are more interested in , good 'Jovcriiment and sull'er ju.-t as much from bad govcnime'.t I Women have as much intollijj MEMORIAL REUNION OF TIIE II EN LEY FAMILY. (Republished by Request.) The reunion of the Henley family of 13 brothers and sisters was held at the home of one of the sisters, Mrs. Annie Henley Couch, at Guilford Col lege, August 10. These brothers and sisters arc the ihihiren of David Ves tal and Eleanor Lnssiter Henley, who came from Randolph county Uwhar- rie river section, near Dunbar's bridge in 1SG3 to Deep River church com munity, near Jamestown, in Guilford county. Five generations ago the ancestor of these, Patrick Henley, eame from Ireland in 17(10. The Lassiters, the maternal ancestral nairre, came to Randolph county from Pasquotank county. Tii mothi r of these was a Methodist, but some time after her marriage became a Friend, and later an elder, and finally a minister of the gospel. These l:i children are all Friends still living, in age from 45 to 70. It has been said of them by their neigh bors: "There is not a black shorn in the flock." This memorial family reunion was characterized by a sumptuous coun try dinner of "ye olden time," ot great abundance and extensive varie ty, with fruits, apples .peaches, pears grapes, oranges, etc., added, served in good style at 1 o'clock on a long j table in the shade of the house on the east side porch. After all were abundantly satisfied with food it was realized that the best came last. Albert Peele read a scripture lesson and voiced in prayer the thanks to the Giver of all good. Then was read the accompanying poem by the composer, Gulie Henley Gran tham, the youngest of the band. It produced a profound and touching ef fect. Then followed after dinner re marks by F. S. Blair and appropriate remarks from each of the band pres ent. And two of their children, sis ters, sang sweetly and beautifully an appropriate hymn.

Happy days that brought reunion when the twilight hours would come. Hours of sweet familiar chatting, then the quiet hush and prayer When dear father read the chapter from the Bible always there. Then dear mother's sweet petition to our Heavenly Father good That he send to each His blessing, and He heard and understood. And her pray-rs were surely answered. for we felt them when away, And their power helped us upward in our efforts every day. Father's nature was the sterner, and he held us by his will, Hut his strong and quiet spirit helps and holds us firmly still. We have toiled and we have striven, always bearing in our mind These firm precepts of our father and our mother's sweet command, Though gone, they are not forgotten, but are living with us still, Helping us to be more useful, if we only htvd their will. We have Lme. since left our playing, Left our home work and our toys And have grown to love rew duties, which are now our daily joys. Tho' none have grown illustrious as the world is wont to say, We have learned to do our duty -with out thought of praise or pay. Tho' the dear old home is broken, sold to strangeis, no more ours, It's sweet memories. linger with us to us all bring happy hours, How we love each field, each brooklet, the hills, the springs, the (lowers, the trees, Tho old barn, the house, the garret, every inch most sacred seems, And the rooms we love most dearly haunt us, ever in our dreams. The dear room that was our mother's, where her favorite chair was found, Always by the southeast window, where she could by looking round, See tin; forms of us, her children, as e gathered at the home, And her sweetest, warmest welcome always reached us at the door, And her words of sweet communion, how we miss them mere and more A 2.500-BATTLE LINE. Since the entrance of Bulgaria into the war the battle-front is fast taking form as a gigantic loop hung rrom Riga and Nieuport across all Europe The Belgian-French line runs un broken from the channel to the Swiss border. Beginning again near the Ort ler, the Italians carry it namly on mountain tops and passes to the AdiV atic. Naval patrols keep guard to the Antivari, whence the Montenegrins. Serbs, French, and English in Slices sion swing it north about Montenegro 1 hence south through Serbia to Stm mitza. If landings are made at Kavala and Enos, this line will be practically continuous to Guliipoii; at sea it is eontinuous now. British submarines have interrupted ! traffic in the Hellespont, and Russians ships guard the Black Sea. i r -m JJou mania north to Riga runs the Russian line, much shortened since Warsaw fell but still more than MM) miles in length. The land lines of trench and mine and daily conflict and concealed artillery, with their windings, will alone extend more than 2..i00 miles if the gap north of Kavala is 'iro.-entl.v filled, as expected. Every conflict in this niiehiy dist ance is for railroad lines: In France, for the network serving Ld'e and Se dan or threatening Verdun; in the Austrian mountains, for the key points Tobach, Yillach, Goritz; in Ser bia, for the Belgrade, Constantinople line; in Russia, chiefly for the con necting Riga and Dunaburg.

Private wells, open closets, and breeding places for fliiv, tho three curses of public health, are everywhere, and what is worse, the town is so poor (mentally) fiat it cannot afford anything better. Good Ventilation Guaranteed. "Good Ventilation Guaranteed" would be a drawing card for any rhurch, school, lecture hall, theater, or moving picture house," said a fre quent church-goer recently. "Where people congregate, there is sure to congregate also all Rort nf oi infections, ranging from the common "'u germ to that of pneumonia and tuberculosis. There is no better place," said he, "for taking cold than in a church. First, because it is usually badly vent luted; and second, because there is soine one who is sure to have a lit of coughing which fills the air with the line germ-laden spray for others to breathe. "What we need," said the speaker, "is more education on the value of fresh air ami the necessity for venti lating. Win i people come to really love fresh air and want it. they will demand it both at home and in public places. We have already gotten to the place where the best ventilated moving picture show is the most popu lar, and the next stop is to demand that churches, theatres and all public places have plenty of fresh air. Over head ventilation certainly can' be objected to by the most sensitive 'draft crank.' " Capt. Thos. H. Hauphton, of Char lotte, died Monday night of last week in a hospital in Baltimrc.
