I dont want to haf to wait like pa has & then end up by being a poor man who must work for a liveing. Of course I will help pa & ma 2 show my hart is in the rite posishun. Saturday ma put me 2 work nocking bu?s off of potatoes & I got tired & set down 2 rest & ma cum out & ketch ed me & she sed What are you about & I sed L am about done she sed No yur'e not & you go rite aahead now so aahead I went. Sunday at Sunday skool the teecher ast Jake who was Rebekka & Jake sed she was a lady which lived on a farm which they called Sunnybrook.

But I- diddent let her know I thot she was ignorant for I know blame well it is some kind of a book which we must study like Rithmctick only worse. Mebbe. Thursday got stung on Getting Rich. The Co. rote 2 me & sed To get Rich work like the devil & dont spend a cent. thinking1 seriously I see that we are only to help by voting down and out things that men have not had the courage to do. Our time for prepa ratio nis short this fall, so we will have t ga- slow and -consider Jtbettfe. er we farmers want to take less for our produce. Do we working people want lower wages or smaller sala ries? Do we want our children to go to school three months or six months? Do our teachers care wheth er their salary is $10 or $25 per month instead of $50 to $100? Would any of you like to sell your milk cow for $14 to get money to pay your tuition at school? Of course we use lots more money than in days gone by, but we reap the reward, and our children will con tinue to reap as much as we sow for them until they are old enough to sow and reap for themselves. So don't let a matter of high taxes throw you otf your balance before you take time to think what this money pays for. I suggest that whatever plans we cannot better we leave standing, but propped without support. We never could have found a more successful year to begin, for work and money are plentiful. Farmers, lumbermen, mill hands and washer women all have money and most of them have bank accounts. Really, there is so much money fro the farmer that I wonder if the Demo crats haven't stolen part of the Re publican platform, for my father use to say that Republican principles were the hope of the farmer. You see, I was born and reared a Republican, but I feel to do our part, to take our place as an improvement over man we should study the present prosperity with an eye toward future development. To do this we will have to study platforms instead of Republicans or Democrats. This equal suffrage came so sud denly to the South that we must in form ourselves as best we can, using all our common sense, and strive for decent government, risteous and hon est living. We do not need a party of our own. We d onot have the experi ence. If we must succumb to party prejudice we lower our present height with no hope for the future. So let' sset our hearts on a higher plane and all strive together to reach its level. MARY ESTES TRIPLETT. T REJ01 STILL FIGHTING SUFFRAGE IN TENNESSEE Last week the Tennessee houe of representatives expunged from its journal all record of ratigeation of the woman suffrage amendment and voted 47 to 24, with 20 not voting, to non-concur in tlie action of the senate in ratifying. Shortly after the house convened it became evident that the nnti-rati-ricationists, a majority of whom have been in Alabama on a filibuster for more than a week, were in the major ity through failure of several of the suffrage members to arrive in time. With clock-time program, the antis I proceeded to put through their plan of attempting to undow hat was done on Aug. 21, when ratification wis ac complished. The first step was the motion to expunge from the journal of that day all reference to proceedings upon the suffrage ratification resolution. Af ter this was carried 47 to .'i7, with six not voting, motion was made and carried that a certified copy of the resolution, the original of which is in the hands of the senate, be spread upon the journal. Representative Riddick, floor lead er of the ratificationists, made the point of order that the resolution was out of the hands of the house and now a part of the Federal constitu tion through proclamation of Secre tary of State Colby. He was over ruled by Speaker Walker. The house by a viva voce vote then adopted a motion to reconsider its previous action upon the resolution. Motion was then made and carried to non-concur in the action of the sen ate in ratifying the ratification reso lution. In the course of the discus sion on the legality of the action of the house in reconsidering Represent ative Riddick read a letter from State's Attorney General Thompson in which the latter expressed the opinio nthat reconsideration of the resolution was impossible, since the house had already ratified it and Gov. Roberts had certified to Secretary Colby this action by both house and senate. The Tennessee senatethe next day returned to the house the suffrage ratification resolution by which the latter concurred after expunging its action of Aug. 21 in ratifying, with an explanation that the resolution had been taken out of its hands and that therefore it had no further ju risdiction over it. The vote upon re turning the message to the house was 17 to 8, with three senators present but not voting. The message pro voked almost as heated discussion as when the senate ratified the suffrage amendment 25 to 4. A dispatch from Chicago says Mrs. llarriet Taylor Upton, vice-chairman of the Republican national commit tee, told a conference of Republican leaders from Mississippi valley states that she had been assured by Secre tary of State Colby and Assistant. At torney General Frierson that there was no way in which the Tennessee legislature could nullify its ratifica tion of the suffrage amendment. WOMAN SUFFRAGE, BY YOUR NEIGHBOR I have always been opposed to woman- suffrage, but since we have had this liberty thrust upon us by the adoption of the nineteenth amendment to thn Federal constitu tion I have decided to register and vote in the coming election. When I think of the "picketers" or women of hte lobby I am disguse td, but now that's over and we are enfranchised women at the beginning of a new era. I thought before I studied "equal suffrage that women were trying to rule thp world by taking men's places, when the Bible, plainly teaches tha twe are only helpers. But after 75,000 WOMEN TO VOTE IN NORTH CAROLINA There will be at least 73,000 women voters in North Carolina in the November elections, in the opin ion of Attorney General J. S. Man ning, who believes the county boards of elections should begin immediate ly working on plans for the registra tion of this large number of women who will cast their ballots for the first time. The attorney general be lieves the precincts should be divided in the larger communities, the cities and towns and suburban district? where the present precincts carry a pretty large number of voters on the books now. The county boards of election have the right to do this without any au thor ty from the state board of elec tions or any other election authority, for the matter of precincts and '.heir distribution is left entirely in the hands of the county boards. An in vestigation of the situation that will probably result from the increase in the number of voters by approxi mately TiO per cent should be made in the near future and the machinery set up for the registration of the women. Judge Manning believes that no precinct should have more than 150 votes because of the handicap which the larger number presen's to the judges of election when tehy be gin to count up. The passage of the election ma chinery bill, while not absolutely nec essary, says the attorney genera', will save the judges and registrars a great deal of trouble in that it makes clear the intention of the law regarding the registration of women. Judge Manning does not think the women would have had to pay a captation tax under the present law, for they would have been in the same po-'Uion as the young voter just, reaching his majority, who has not been required to pay poll tax before the election. The women would not have had to pay the tax, but the Scales bill makes this proposition of the law clear and !e:ies no room for interpretation and saves the election boards the neces sity of sending out numerous letters of instructions.
