Mrs. Dixon-Carroll made use of this weapon in discussing some of the men not by name who fought | the municipal suffrage bill which | would have permitted a woman to vote in the citie and towns of the state to, accord women partial suffrage. Some of the men at Raleigh hope to go to Congress in tour < r six years. | Dr. Dixon-Carroll stated, and many of i these favor suffrage almost militantly , because they see the probability of having to cater to a woman vote, willy nilly and the willy is well stimulated, if it be indeed forced. The bill lacked 11 votes of indorsement, however, but Dr. Dixon-Carroll said it could have been passed with ease had the "right aort of person" got amoi./ some of , those who \oted against it. Some of the "constructive lflfi alatiora" from certain North Carolina counties would ( fret up arid declare: "Well, I have read something or other about this suffrage] business, but I don't think there is any of them suffragettes in my county."

I ()!" all the people who Mmile ami weep fathers and motherM are at the .'■oni Tins means they excel in pro- \ per sympathieii and affections. It rn -an that parents are the natural guardian* of children anil have th«• , keenest appreciat ion of their wants. < hildren are the gift. of fjod and the farm!, w.th children growing up is a garden of the f.ord, and father and mother are a kind of super imposed ' |nov itience to safeguard the rearing and training of the hoys ami girls. No one has greater interest in the children than th«*ir parents and none so influen tial in -moulding and tempering them for life. I have two things to say in thin article and I Would put great stress upon hoth! Parent*, provide at leant a few good hook* for the family. Then secondly, do your utmost to have your ; children as well educated an possible. (Jood hooka in the home and all the children in the school. "No man has a righ to bring up children without providing good book* in the home." The very sight of hootcs .stirs up in the mind a desire for knowledge and this a warrant against the inferior excit ment of passions and vice#. The in fluence of good reading is powerful and lasts through life. They impart or beget taste, culture, the love of virtue and the love of home. These are great assets in making: character. Send the children to school after the Tree school then to the high school and then to the college. Rut some say we are too poor to do this. No body who cares for an edu cation is too poor to start his children »n the way and once started unexpect • I v>ays may appear.
