"The referendum on woman suf frage, taken at the last primary, was not a fair test of the sentiment of the people of the county concerning the question, and anyway, we can't afford to go contrary to the national platform of our party If we are to remain true Democrats," declared Mr. R. A. Morrow yesterday afternoon, voicing his sentiments on the matter of votes for women. As proof ot his statement that the referendum was not a fair test, he pointed out that there were 2700 votes cast at the primary, while only 1700 were marked for br against woman suffrage. He wes of the opin ion that It would be safe to say that the majority ot those who did not express themselves at the polls would vote affirmatively. "In fact," he con tinued, "many of the most ardent suf frage men did not vote on the ques tion, simply because they did not think it necessary." After bringing to mind the fact that at the Democratic convention In Ral eigh In the spring the Union county delegation went unamlnously In favor of woman suffrage, he expressed re grets over the report that Mr. B. H. Griffin, of Marshville, one or the I'nlon county legislators, had recent ly switched over on the Issue. "If North Carolina ratifies the amendment and the women are al lowed to vlte, at the November elec tions, then It will mean that Cox will go In with a whoop," he said, de parting from the county to the na tional aspect of the case. "The Dem ocratic leaders realize this, and that is why they are making special ef forts to secure the ratification of the amendment by either North Carolina or Tennessee. If North Carolina goes ) on record as favoring the amend-j ment. It will mean that she will have the honor of electing a Democratic' president." was the way he summed tip his argument for ratification from a national standpoint. Turning to the Inevilableness of woman suffrage he called attention to its onward sweep during the past few years, and concluded. "If one sees an avalanche start on a mountain side. It Is the part ot discretion to rush ahead or It down the slope ' get la the way of It and disaster results."

Simpson was taken suddenly ill about two weeks ago. His condi tion-growing worse, his son. Dr. W. Brown Simpson, of Nashville, Arkan sas; and his son-in-law, Dr. Theodore Peak, an army surgeon stationed at Columbus, Georgia, were summoned to his bedside. After a consultation. it was decided to take the sick man to a noted Columbia hospital. Ex amination, however, convinced the at tending physician that his case was hopeless, and the deceased was brought hack home, the place he loved, to spend his last hours. He expired about six 'o'clock Friday af ternoon, having suffered a relapse that morning alter a severe chill. Born in 1 s G 1, shortly after the for mation of this county, the deceased had been intimately associated with I'nloh comity official and social life.

His value lo the community was Immense. Nearly every man who became Involved In any sort of a controversy Instinctively sought him out. knowing that he was so well veraM In the affairs ot the people of the county that he could find a sat isfactory solution of their troubles. Those who counseled him placed Im plicit confidence In his wisdom and fairness. In settling countlesiKniat terx of controversy between two par ties, he was equity Itself, and so far as the folks of this county were con cerned, he knew their genesis and their mental characteristics as per haps no other man knew them. He possessed a superb, but very unique luielleet that la to say. such as rare ly ever found among men. He had the greatest memory for detail In every conceivable ramification. But Ibis order of Intellect possesses a vocabulary stripped entirely of the ornate and was a stranger to what is known as the aesthetic. His vora bulary was the vocabulary purely of i lie logician. The deceased was a charitable man. In i hose whom he had great confid ence, he was as open as the heavens, and as a friend he was loyalty It sell He was not a man of any great deal of self assertion. He did not es pecially seek the limelight, but was a man or quiet, friendly, unostenta tious demeanor. The county has never before had his like, and will doi.luless never have his like again. Esq. Simpson was a loyal member of the Luthern church, and was a lib et.il contributor to its causes. He v;is a man who seemed to al "..'. I'e.

In some respects, the deceased lived in the past. Court records held a peculiar fascination to him, and he ap pealed to lake great Interest In ex amining old documents which told stones sometimes gay. sometime whimsical, and sometime sad. He v.-a familiar with every community, and every family for miles and miles around Monroe, lie was also fond of history, and was an Indefatigable render of Revolutionary and Civil War records and traditions. He took a friendly Interest in people, and al .is counseled homsty, sobriety, and uprightness. i:q.

FIXW BELIEVES WEEVILS HAVE I WADED THE COIXTY Fanners From Several Communities Report Falling anil rum-lured Squares. The boll weevil has struck I'nlon county, believes Mr. Geo. E.

From all parts or the county he Is being informed of insect damage, much ot which has been laid to the weevil by farmers of several or the affected communi ties. In some parts, squares are be ing found punctured, while others are seen laying on the ground, faded and shriveled up. "Rev. K. W.

Sam McManus, ot B ii ford township, believes the weevil is prevalent In his cotton fields, as his cotton squares are punctured, and are tailing off. Bob Nesbit, or Jack son township, tells me that the wee vils have Invaded his fields, punctur ing the squares. A man from the Rogers place In Burord town ship, and a man rrom Goose Creek township have also told me the same story. Unless my Informants are badly mistaken, the weevil Is cer tainly with us. "I have been told that where the square is punctured it makes a small hole, and seems to turn Idack around the puncture. Then It fades and falls olf.

Frederick Manning, son or the attorney general. who died or Influenza in France in the rail or 1918. were held in Raleigh Sunday. The body was sent troin Brest. France, several weeks ago. Former Adjutant General Beverly S. Itoyster. ot Oxford; Col. A. H. Boyden, of Salisbury; and Judge W. H. Whedbee, or Greensville: have been named by Governor Bickett as members or the commission appointed by him to conduct an investigation of the Graham shooting affair. In which Jim Ray was killed by soldier! guarding the jail against lynching. Express men, on opening a trunk which had been in the unclaimed department for several weeks, found the nude body of a dead woman In New York the other day. The body had been shipped rrom Detroit, Mich., to an address, believed to have been flctious. in New York. Mystery as to the manner or the woman's death surrounds the case, but it is thought she was murdered. Several suspects have been arrested. Everett Frady was killed and Lt. Theodore Whitt had both legs and one arm broken when the aeroplane in which they were riding crashed to the earth near Asheville Sunday morning. From a statement made by Whitt when he was picked up, Frady had b-rome rrightened when the plane left the landing field and seized the control stick. He froze to this and efforts of the pilot to loos en his hold met with no success and the machine plunged headlong to the ground from a height of 250 feet. killing Frady instantly. The machine was a two-seated Turtiss. Control slicks are in both seats. Frady was occupying the front one, while Whitt was in the rear seat. This type of plane was used In training aviators during the war. The pilot always carried a black-jack, with which he knocked the student lmconscious In case he became frightened, and acted like the Asheville man. Two thousand negroes were at the Chicago station Sunday to meet Jack Johnson, the negro prize-fighter, who gave himself up to Federal authorities after wandering In foreign countries ror rour or five years to escape a jail sentence tor violation or the white slave act. Officers, however, when they learned of the crowd waiting to meet their prisoner, detoured carry ing the burly prisoner to Jollet, 111. When the train reached Chicago the waiting negroes stormed the gates in an effort to see the ex-champlon heavyweight of the world. Police re serves from two precincts were forced to beat the crowd back with clubs to clear a passage for Lucille Camer on Johnson, white wife or the tormer pugilist, who appeared wearing a bright red hat. a blue serge suit and clasping a Mexican hairless dog to her bosom. Policemen loaded the woman and her eight suitcases into a brace or taxlcabs and assisted her out of the crowd. MAURICE TOURXEUR EXPERT IX FILMIXd SEA PICTURES Mineral Spring Xew. Mineral Springs.
