I assure you I appreciate the letter received from you some days ago, ask ing me to write an article tor your paper, since woman aunt-age had be 1 come an actual fact. You asked me j to discuss several questions: First, i What party should the women of this state affiliate with? The detno i cralie party. There are many good ' reasons, but I think one la sufficient for me to answer. The most of my life had been lived when the republl i can party was in power, and a great j deal of that time I bate to think of, esnecially the days of panics, hard j times, negro rule, etc.; especially do ; I remember conditions In the eastern part of our own state. The past eight A years has been lived under the deni i ocratic party control to a great ex j tent. And I am sure a wayfaring man ' though feeble minded need not err in J telling the difference. A recent cor- i resooiident In the New York World I expresses my sentiments in these i words: 'Eight years has been enough ') to place upon the statute books of this country more constructive legls- lation than the republican party plac- ed there in fifty. Eight years has 5 been enough to prove that the dem- ocratic party Is capable of meeting i anv er.iereencv. Second: Should a t wnmin vi. i a fur In a man or tne uuriv . I would sav the party, if the princl pies of that party stand for right and righteousness.

Hawfleld. principal of the high school since Sept.. 1919. was elivted superintend.'!!! of the city schools to succeed Prof. It. V. Allen, resigned, at a meeting of the school board hold last night. Mr. Foster Starnes. who has been an instructor In the high school, was promoted to principal. The resignation of Mr. Allen was accepted reluctantly by the board. He was recently elected superintend ent of public instruction of Anson county at a salary which Is consider ably more than he is getting here; and the fact that Anson is his native county was also a great factor in se curing his acceptance of the offer. His new position also offers a wider field of activity. I'nder the guidance of Mr. Allen, who came here nearly six years ago, the city schools have enjoyed an un precedented era of growth and prog ress. The faculty has been consider ably strengthened; relations between teacher and parents have never been so cordial; and as a result of his un tiring efforts, the city schools rank among the best in the state. The new superintendent is a son of Mr. and Mrs. w. D. Hawfleld. and is well-equipped for the place. Mr Starnes, who succeeds Mr. Hawfleld as principal, has1 been an Instructor In Rutherford college for several years. Mr. Allen's resignation Is ef fective Nov. 1.

The North Carolina Divisiou of the American Cotton Association ratified the action of the Montgomery conven lion o.i yesterday. In that no cotton should be sold fur less than Tony cents per pound and cotton seed for not less than ninety cents per bushel. The whole matter Is now up to the Individual fanner. If we stand as one man for this price we can get It in less than sixty days. If we don't, we mav be selling cotton for twenty cents before. Christmas. Which will we choose to do? If you want a profit on this year's crop, come to the meet ing Monday. If you stay away and have to sell below the cost of por- duciloii. blame no one but yourself. Senator J. A.

He is not the nominee of the democratic party. But Mr. Mor rison is the one chos"ii by a majority of our people. I have seen this ques S tlon asked. Will the women vole for Mr. Morrison? You know he was ou- posed to woman suffrage. I accede f that right to him, and admire him i for the courage to stand by his con- vlctlon. and thin kevery true demo- crat should vote for him as governor . -.of our great sla'.e and the nominee jof a great party.

I cannot reinem-1 cation, I would say that whether ber the time when 1 was opposed to I women should be given the right of it or even indifferent toward it. 1 ballot did not interest me sufficiently had even expicted to have a small to become a member of the Union part In moulding public sentiment in County Suffrage League. I should favor of giving women the ballot, not have gone on the platform and Now that the ballot is actually In our advocated lis adoption. I have rather hands. I stand daaed so sreat Is the. been In sympathy with the element stupendous undertaking we have be- on sentiment that woman's sphere Is fore us of preparing ourselves for our the home. I admire the quiet, mod- new duties. As I stand on the th res- est. refined womanly woman who hold 1 ask over and over: What shall the outcome be? While I have always believed that women should have the right to vote. I have never thought that her ballot would revolutionize the country. (1 have even admitted that there might be some attendant evils), but I have held that the good results would over balance the bad. In general, women will accept the political party of their ancestors just as the men have done. There will be some, however, who will vote independently. It is in this last group that our hope depends. Shall we vole for a man just because he la a Republican or a Democrat? Usually a comparison uf the two plat forms reveals very few essential dif ferences. I say vote for the man of most ability and integrity regardless of party affiliation. Local ol fleers shrinks from making herself con splcuous In the public eye but since women have been given the ballot I think she should regard it as a sacred obligation. The Christian womenhood of America may use the ballot to further guard our homes from the many evils that confront them. If the enfranchising of women does not make this a better town, a better county, a better State, and a better Nation, then the town, the State, and the Nalon have a right to be disap pointed In us. We thall here been weighed In the balance and found wanting. And as I believe It was ordered and decreed by the God of all Nations that Wood row Wilson should come to the kingdom in a world crisis for a specific purpose and . as Murderal said to Queen Esther, "Thous k no west but that thou should, generally speaking, be chosen , n8.t come to the kingdom for such from the predominating party in thea tl)ne M this." and as she took her particular section of the election be- 0WB 1Jfe j ner naila aml went i cause the chances of a good officer j before the king and thereby saved are greater when there is a larger ner p0ple. 8i,v unt0 the women, number to draw from.

Now it so happens this year that in tiie national election there ts a great Issue at stake, namely, the League of Nations. 1 believe it is the duty or the women of the country to vote the another conflagration such as we had only two years ago. We can do this by voting for the ratification of the League of Nations for when a moth er sends her son forth to war, she lays her very heart upon her conn try's altar.

I neuee the woman's vote will purify and up lift politics. I have had little faith In the arguments that women had no time to vote, that their place was in the home, etc. There are thousands of women who are bread winners, lax payers, and everything else. Sure ly they should have a part and know something about the government un der which they live; and too tney have time for social, domestic and religious life, and I am aure they can take time to make our country a bet ter place In w hich to live. In a re cent editorial In which the. editor was opposed to suffrage he consoles him self something like this: "We have a great object lesson la the achievement of the women In our denominational life In the matter or mission work the women have shown more Intelli gence a well as seal than the men. Until the women took hold of the work of missions and ahowed the men how to do It there u nothing done worthy of the name christian." I think since women are enfranchised. It should be their duty to Inform them selves as to the principle of our gov ernment. They should also realise that this means great responsibility and there is not the slightest doubt In my mind but that we will measure up to all these things. shel. The farmers, claiming that thev were worth more for fertilizer, were hauling them bark with their cotton, said Mr. Wilson. At Jerferson. according to Mr. M. C. Baker or Buford township, the gins are humming merrily each day, but most of the farmers were hauling the cotton and seed back home. In that section, said Air. Baker, they seem de termined to get better prices for their cotton which cost. It is conservatively estimated. 30 cents a pound to produce. Boll Weevil Approaching Nearer To the Editor of The Journal: Perhaps you will be Interested In knowing that the boll weevil Is well established this high up. They have been reported around Camden all the summer, however, no material damage has been done this year. Recently we have discovered them within about one mile of Beth une, and they are in sufficient num bers to destroy all the late cotton in the fields where they are established. The greatest damage is being done with the late long staple cotton. I am a Union county man. and I know the Union county folks are very much Interested In knowing the prog ress of the boll weevil.

She fought a good fight, and her followers carried on so faithfully that now, some years after she has been laid to rest, her dream is real ized. The Susan B. Anthony amend ment is a fact, aud in November the women of America will assume full citizenship or their country. And I believe there U not one among them, even the erst-while autl, who does not proudly come into the possession or equal rights with men. Not one who is not now carefully making up her mind how she will sast her vote. In order to make their influence felt as it should be it will be neces sary for the women of the South to be organized. This has been fully explained and demonstrated by the press and actual experience. Inde pendently they cannot be the Influ ence they ho:e to be, but If some feminine Moses should be raised up in the fair Southland to shape them into a perfectly working machine, politics would shortly be sitting up rubbing its eyes and asking "where am I." So great would be the ef fect of the women's vote. And they will organize just as the northern and western women have done. Separate Party Would Be Alwurd. A separate party for women would, of course, be absurd. They should organize to work with ihe men of their party, to raise the standard of politics and bring about such reforms as a careful study of the situation reveals to them as necessary. Not many women want to hold office. Personally a political office could not be wished on to me, and I daresay this Is the sentiment of the majority of Southern women, though of course, there are some who are already ting ling to get into the scrap, and will make good when they do. Should Vote to Uphold Ideals. The majority of the Southern white women will. I think, arttliate with the Democratic party. Not to vote lor the League of Nations would be, as some one has said, but to break faith with the boys who sleep in France. There will be those who will vote the Democratic or Republican ticket because they have Inherited their political and religious views as they have the color of their eyes. But it is unquestionably ihe duty of the women to vote for the ratifica tion of the League of Nations. The question has been raised as to whether the women should vole for their party even if it does put out a weak-need candidate, or vole for the man regardless of the party. How can women hope to raise the stan dard of politics, purify ii and make it attractive to the best element in Ihe country If they don't vote for the i.i.in who will uphold their ideals? However Ihe obvious thing for the women to do is to i.et busy in the primary elections and see that the Democratic party always nominates only a candidate who can in every way lie termed ihe best man. Or ganization is necessary to do this but it can and inuM be done. The Dem ocratic party has the material and by organizing and sticking to their guns the women can bring it to the front and voie it Into office. There is need In this reconstruction period of the best brain power at our command at the IipIiii of our govern ment, and the responsibility is equally divided now between the men and ivoiiii'ii lo put it there. We need men whose lives are clean, and have been clean, whose methods are up right and men who are not so over stocked with personal ambition that ihey forget to serve for betterment of humanity instead of personal gain. To put a man in office whose life has a hideously dark blol on It is noi upholding the principles of dem ocracy in its true sense. We want men who will help us to keep liquor out. rigidly enforce our laws, raise the e.i.nernl moral standard of our iiiiliou. and 1 repeat, make the League of Nations a realitv. ir their and brought a total or J2ti3.'.U. party will not put up a candidate who Last year long staple cotton sold i' ; embodies these things, then vote for prices ranging from rents to u.t.ie ime that does.

These are two qualities that are especially needed just now." Of course it is all very new yet, and many are a bit bewildered by the complexity of things political, but the war has taught women many things, and their efforts and sacrifices during that period have prepared Miem for this new responsibility.
