In North Carolina the leadeis of away from the worship of cotton, a;
the woman suffrage movement ask
lhe legislature to grant them the
right of municipal suffrage. This can
be done under the constitution which
forbids women voters in State elec

to grant suffrage in town elections.
The demand of the women is now
based upon this sole request so far

A bill allowing the women to vote
in town and city elections is now be
fore the legislature. It was diseuss
td publicly before the committee
Tuesday night. Seveial women spoke
in advocacy of the measure and one
men for it ami one against. It is
said that the women beat the men in
argument though they did not speak
FO loud. Mr. H. S. Ward, a lawyer
of Washington, this state, was the
wan who spoke against the measure
and lie made a snoner. He declared
that no good ami only evil could conw
cf letting women vote. He said that
the theory of
!ie, and that those who were asking
lor this small measure were just us

erty.
We believe that what Mr. Edmunds
sas here is the veritable truth and
demands the consideration of every
southern farmer. A sure and safe'
road to permanent prosperity is being
made for every southern farmer that
chooses to walk therein a diver
sified agriculture that includes live
stock, such as cattie, sheep and hogs.
Hundreds and thousands of southern
fanners elected to that road, in fact;
are already travelling it. and find J
that it leads to prosperity. i
One brood sow to each farm and ,
an average of a half dozen sheep to
