The sentiments so far expressed by the women in regard to the suffrage question would Indicate a general ten dency to vote and vote for a man's principles regardless of his politics. "Them's our seutiments," exactly, on ly we would go a bit further and In sure, by the appointment of a special committee for that purpose, that tht) elected candidate lived up to his prin ciples, and did not use them for cam paign thunder only. This Is what the women of Columbus,' Ohio, d4d when they cleaned up their city and put in a new mayor. The man they elected is doing Just what he promised to do, too. or else they investigate, and you know when women begin Investigat ing 1! The mayor may find It a little irksome, but he doubtless Is aware that the women gave and the women can easily take away his Job Blessed be the women! We hope the women of North Carolina will adopt his method of voting, and It seems nther likely now that they will. It v M clean up politics because only the candidate with clean principles neeil apply. This would be an in rentive to the state's best men to try a hand In the game, and also to in duce only the best already In the fight lo remain. But let's hope the women themselves will stay out of office! There are times of course whn some woman would make I splendid oflcial. but the most deslr able thing we can think of Is for wo men to be the power behind th throne. They can be that and still "stay at home and mind their own business" to a great extent. Mrs. J S.

The auditor pointed out that one block in Lancaster worth $40,000.00 was on the tax books at $2,500.00. Farmers with (300 mules get by at 40. This Is some of the inequalities that the poor and honest huve to suffer for. On an average a poor man will give in his small hold ings at full face value and he ts com pelled to pay his poll tax at a rate that is unbearable. Every poor man in Union county will do well to sup port Gov. Blckett and the tax reform candidates. You cannot be fair to yourself If you don't. It to up to you. it you wish to go ahead and pay an unequal part of the taxes, why go to it. You always have and it will not go hard with you. Speaking of taxes, I heard two prominent young men of Monroe miking. "Say," said one, "why in the world. John, don't you buy you a home, you've got the money, and you and your wife could make Improve ments and be far better satisfied." Well, Bill," said the other, you bought before the prices went to the sky; your water, lights, fuel and tax were low and it was a good move. You say you gave eight hundred, now Its worth five thousand. Well, I get ten per cent on my money"; save thir ty five dollars general tax, street tax, paving tax; pay for no improvements. pay no Insurance. I pay $25 rent per month, rent three roms for $15, and consider that I save five hundred dol lars a year." Bill was ready to argue that It was best to own.hls own home, Imt John slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Sell out, old boy, and save some kale." "I hadn't thought of It." said Bill aa he went on his way. Messrs. Burl and Joe Hinson are farming with their father, Mr. S. L. Hinson this year.
