VOL. XLYI RALEIGH LETTER Special Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C., Oct. s.—Ral eigh's first experience with women V at the polls, which occurred last Saturday* in the special school tax proposition, when 700 women participated as registrants or voters, is looked 'upon as having "broken the ice" for the women and tfill act to remove the dis taste which many, are exhibiting to going to the,polls to cast their ballot^. Another incentive that ought to figure largely in a big registration of the white women of the State is the discovery of the faot that the Republicans are%ounting on voting large numbers of negro women, as Witnessed in the circu lation of the circular letter being mailed .out'over the State from Greensboro signed "Colored Wo men's Rights Association," in > which the. negro women are urged to apply to the registrars and IT denied registration to report the * fact to local "Republican law yers." etc., with the view of tak ing the matter into the courts. The "grandfather clause" lb un constitutional a&y way, the circu lar asserts. Other passages in the circular include the x following: "Hdld your meetings at night; when we get thousands of voters on the registration books the white Re publicans of North Carolina and the South will be glad to do as their white brothers ol the North —recognise us as their equals. We are being backed by them now, but you know it is best lor thetn to keep under cover for a while yet." > " - • Paper Urge* Women to Vote. In additon to the above, and much more that could be quoted, the negro weekly newspaper at Raleigh, which is edited by the secretary of the Negro State Re publican Committee, prints con spicuously an editorial, under the caption "Negroes Should Qualify To Vote," appealing to both negro men -and women to get busy and demand that the names of negro women be placed, on tne books, and advising much like the circu lar letter of the "Colored Wo men's Rights Association" refer red to,'namely, to report registrars who refuse to register them to the "local member of the 'commit tee.'" "Let men and women of color in North Coralina register," shouts the Raleigh organ of the Republican negro State commit tee. These particulars should be disseminated so that the white women may become aware of the sitnation. - Registration Period Now On. The registration books for the State and Rational elections open ed last Thursday and will con tinue through Saturday, October 23d. There is notflme like the present to do a thing you know ought to be done. Tomorrow never comes. Therefore, register today. Don't put it off. There will be no doubt qf the result if the full Democratic strength polled. It can not be polled if it is not registered. Every woman voter must regis ter between now and Oct. 23, and there are many men who for va rious reasons must register anew in order to vote this year, such as change of voting precinct, etc. The latter will be less use than a bump on a log election day unless they attend to this matter. Wo men do not have to givo their age, beyond stating they are 2). or over, They are not required to pay poll tax or to exhibit any receipt therefor. In short, the way is wide open to you, ladies, and the perpetuation of good government and white .supremacy in our State in which yon are most vitally concerned, largely depends upon you. , Republican* Attempt to Bay Mill Operatives. There has been a good deal thought and much of it said about t Mtttelw Part of Wl»b«b OHf, v " 't . • / THE ALAMANCE GLEANER John jytorehead's "vice-chairman." et cetera, since he responded to the oall of the campaign boodle investigation committee at Wash ington a few days ago. . Pugb danifid beford jhe commits tee haying made use of langnage in * speech before the Pasquotank Republican County convention Im puted to him and printed in the papers several months ago. It was necessary that he should do so. But Col. L M. Meekins, one of the leading Republicans of Elizabeth City for a generation, and a man with reputation fbr Veracity, does not believe Pdgh told the committee the truth. Col. Meekins, who passed through Ral eigh recently, and who is now in West Virginia, speaking for Hard ing, says that he and seven other men have signed an affidavit that Pugh said> that he had arranged with Chairman Hays of the Re publican national committee for a fifty thousahd dollar slush fund to be used in "organizing*? the white cotton mill operatives and other factory workers, "and the negroes," to vote the Republican ticket on November second. Mr. Meekins is said to have deposited a goodly bum of money in a bank and to have told Pu'gh to go ahead and institute suit against him and the seven other men who declare they heard Pug*h make the state ment—"tmd get the money" wait ing for him in bank, if he can win it in a suit. But Pugh has not yet made any attempt to go into court where Meokins would have the chance to "prove" his charges. ButcSomething else is happen ing. The white cotton .mill opera tives and other factory workmen are learning of thd alleged at tempt of the "vice-chairman" and other Republicans to "buy them," alongside with "the negro' vote" whether the $50,000 fnnd for that purpose has been raised or not, and they will show the men who assumed that they could be voted throngh a corruption fund "along with purchasable negroes" that they know how to resent snch an aspersion on their character and honor.

Here in parallel columns are Senator Hardipg's translation of the clause in the official French text of the peace treaty referring to the Monroe Doctrine and the official English text: Harding Version Official English International Text engagements, Nothing In this such as treaties of covenant shall be arbitration and deemed to affspt regional under- the validity of la standings, like the ternatlonal en - Monroe Doctrine, •gagements, mifch which assure the as treaties of ar maintcnancu of titration, *or re peace, are not glottal under considered as in- standings, like the compstlblo with Monroe Doctrine, any of the provls- -for securing the ions of the pres- maintenance .of eat pact. peace. There is bo conflict here. The Monroe Doctrine is decli red not incompatible with tbe tre'aty, and any schoolboy knows that the existence and force of the Monroe Doctrine is thus recognized and strengthened by the treaty. If t his is not enough to convince the wayfarer, or even a presidential candidate, that Senator Harding's point is the veriest folly, reference to the uoiiclnding paragraph but one of Ihe peace treaty wilt con vince him. The first sentence of this conclnded paragraph is, "The present treaty, of which the French and English texts are both authentic, shall be ratified." Moreover, the English text aa well as the French was signed by all parties. > 7 l " ■ ■■' When ft Had to Stop. The Philadelphia Record.

When he via down on all his knees, flat on Ms breast, to" receive his load, be looks something like a goose swimming; and when he Is upright he looks like an old ostrich with an extra set of legs. Camels are not beautiful, and their long under lip gives them an exceed ingly "gallus" expression. They have Immense flat, forked cushions of feet that make a track In the dust like a pie wfth a slice cut out of IL They are- not particular about* their diet They would eat a tombstone If they could bite It. A thistle grows about here which has needles on It that would pierce - through leather. I think; If one touches you yop can find relief In noth ing but profanity. The camels eat these. They show by their actions that they enjoy them. I suppose It would be a "reel treat to ft camel to have a keg of nails for supper.—Mark Twain in "The Innocents Abroad," from Palne's "Moments With Mark Twain." Terrapin en H. C. L. List Teat* .ago wild terrapin Inhabited the salt and brackish marshes along tbe Atlantic seaboard In large num bers and were Jflghly relished and prised by epicures. These palatable turtles have so grown in popularity that they now have come to be regard ed .as one of the greatest delicacies known to connoisseurs and the de mand for them has led to such per sistent overfishing that a marked di minution In the availably supply has resulted. The result Is' that Chesa peake terrapin which measure six Inches In length on tbe lower shell now sell for S6O to SOO a dosen on the city market while larger terrapin are correspondingly more valuable.

A girl looks into hsr mirror doss ly and regrets that bar nose isn't quite straight She might be more contented could die realize that perfection is not greatly admired on this side of the world in 1920. Greek statues represent an ap proach to perfection. But admira tion for them is very moderate. They are not humanly interesting. Japanese prints express a similar ideal. In each face is the same calm, meaningless expression, de void of individuality. That is one reason why Japanese prints' appeal to only a few persons in the United States. Little individual imperfections of feature distinguish and make popu lar many works of art. The girl whose nose isn't quite straight may find it is for that flaw, rather than for a perfection, that die is loved. Americans havs grown away from their old admft-ation of perfect cop per-plate handwriting. This same modern tendency is shown in many other things. But there is one thing in which a flaw is absolutely without merit That's a diamond 1 —Knoxvi lie Sentinel.

The inventor of the system is a butcher's son, who employs his birds regularly to carry orders from outlying districts presumably where there are no telephones—to his father's shop. The plsn works excellently. When the boy foes to collect or ders he takes six of his fastest birds in a trap with him. After he has gone a mile.or two sad collected a dozen orders he liberates a pigeon with the slips indosed in a little metal case attached to the bird's foot "Before five minutes have elapsed these orders are in the shop. At- the various stages of his round, which usually takes three hours, the other birtls with more or ders are set free, snd by the time the shop is reached all the orders received by this pigeon post havs been' dispatched.
