The reception of her uffrage last
night or rathei mm r r\a. '!.. woman':,
rights peerh, at thr college indicated
the truth of the iiulielment of the.in
*t»tutions of higher learning for
women in the state a» hot brds of ad
vanced thought along thr lines of sex- '
ual equality in citizenship.
Dr. Dixon-Carroll talked as if she
recogni/.rd that there is no need for
conver on in the college to thr princi
ple of equal suffrage. J->hr poke to
the students as one suffragists to an
other, arid merely advised about how (
the college woman rould further t> *•
cause. She stated that woma-i fir^r
began to think of the achievement of
equality at the polls with man when
«he first learned to read and write,
and wifh e! n ation there advance :i .
belief in suffrage. Women want to
vote just, exactly for th* same reason
that met want to vote, to tnVe l>
Dixon -f'arroll's word for it. Yhey
war t to vote because the> brlieve in
democracy and the e> ential of that
state of being i.-i no go\r an.m with
out the consent of the go .»«-•!.
Pursuing further thai idea of woman
haying found her place in the irulus

"If a %voi ian marries n« w foj- a living,

weaji. n wl'i h a.--a"it the -c „f
hum r is beinj; used for the women (
lire very apt to laugh the antagonist*
out of face. 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."

A Word to Father* and
Mother*.
Ily Rrv. I). S. ffuhbell.
•'Woe to him who ni-vpr smiles over
i cradle and weep* not ovei a tomb." 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. Certain it i*
that they who never start will ever
