THE CASTONIA DAILYGAZETTE V TULiDAY, JULY 6, 132 J. i IIY IfOSTH CAROLINA, ; t , SHOULD RATIFY FEDERAL ; SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT - v V: y 5V (Contributed.) . Why Bhould the nineteenth amendment he' ratified by Federal instead of tate authority There are many clear-cut, good feaaona for this. -; In the first place, we want to keep pare with the intelligent world thought in this matter, and we are not doing it " li"'g aa we lag behind the leailins n:ition ol the world. Practically all civilized na tioaa, not excepting (iermany h, thwii- . fag- inconsistence hav- given their women the right to vote I'.v parii.-tn.enT.-uj art, an.lnot hy ret'.-ren.i.nn.

Again, relief from nnj.iM io,titu tional olistiiiction .lemai. K it. In many States the .-oust it .it ions make amcmltiient SO difficult that in some of them ...nsli tutions have never heen amen.le.l, ;iinl in Others they have not been amen.le.l when the Hubjeet is in the least controversial. Women of these states can only I n j franchise.! through Federal action. More over, even in states where amendment can be brought about by a referendum, it is done only at the cost of time, money, and human energy, and should fall under the ban as a huge economic waste, Along this same line of reasoning, the election laws of all states make inade quate provision for safeguarding the vote on constitutional amendment-. There are vague, uncertain laws for contesting fraudulent elections in most Nates, and DO laws at all for redress in twenty four states. This makes a fine loophole for injustice in the case of a state constitu tional amendment. Another reason, the eipial status of men and women voters demands it. Men's right to vote is protected by the Federal constitution while the state bv state en- ' i franchisement of women would not give this protection to women, since a woman who changes her residence from an equal suffrage state to a male suffrage state thereby becomes disenfranchised. And finally, it is undemocratic, in a na tional election for instance, for some women voters to help elect a President of the nation ami choose a national ail ministration, while women of other states are denied this voting privilege. These inequalities render our government unre publican, undemocratic and unfair. Getting down now to rock bottom and the home enclosure why should the North Carolina legislature pass the Fed eai Suffrage Amendiimet at the coming Secial session in July? This can be an swered briefly: It is because North Caro lina in so doing would be the crucial thirty-sixth state. Analyzing this state ment a little further we see its signifi cance, since, although thirty five states have ratified, they count for absolutely ' Birthing until the thirty-sixth puts the i seal of its approval upon the nineteenth amendment. This is undeniable. It is also undeniable that North Carolina is largely a "one party" state; and that the IVmocratie is the majority party. Of the thirty-five states that have ratified thus far twenty-nine have been of the Republican persuasion. Therefore, in view of the benefit to the 'Democratic party, ami the majority benefit to North Carolina, is it, not entirely permissible to sajr that the coming special legislature should ratify' Here is the situation in a nutshell: Of the twenty six million women of voting age in the I'nited States, sixteen million are already voters. The enfranchisement of ten million women hangs in the balance, then, wait ing for the thirty sixth state. It must be admitted, too, that a large majority of women are not pleased with either the Republican platform or the Republican candidate for recently shown first interv iew Therefore, in ' tion. theie w i' pen. leu: and not. to be d.-.i.

Yorkville Kmiuiror. ''Here are some nails, made by hand, that may be luO years old ill fact I don't know how old they are,-' said Mr. W. (i. Turner, well known citizen of Niaron No. L', as he exhibited the nails to several gentlemen who chanced to be in the office of Nieriff Fred Qiiinn the other morning. ''These nails,'' Mr. Tur ner went on to explain, ''were taken from what is known as the 'old Kirkpatriek house' 4in the old Chester road. Just how old that house is I .Ion 't kuiow and I have not been able to find out. A man in the community told me of an old woman who died years ago at the age of 7-i who was born there and she didn't know when the house was built. I visited the house recently. The roof has caved in. The house has a basement, two rooms on the ElOU,i fl0()r aM,l two on the second story. A garret tops the second floor. One does not see a house of similar construction in this day and time. The walls ar double sealed and plastered and made stronger than anv present day housn. I The chimney of solid masonry is 40 feet high and seven feet wide at the base. The fireplace is four feet wide and much of the timber in the house which is solid oak is still in a good state of preserva tion. 1 hree great oak trees grow in the yard. 1 measured each of them as best I could. A sixteen foot buggy line lacked about two feet of reaching around each. The diameter of each I reckoned is more than six feet. The house and the land surrounding I understand is the property of W. H. Wilson of Hock Hill. The nails fashioned by hand by a noted blacksmith of that day are as you see still m a fine state of preservation. I was warned j when I went, to inspect tl Id home thaf I the house was haunted. Whether it is or I not, I can't say for certain. 1 went there I hi broad day light and I went by myself. If there was any running to be done I j.lidn ! want anybody to see me.'' I THE CHATHAM RECORD MISSES AN ISSUE. I.'ahegii Times.

June LM. Kno t selling of grain by Illinois farmers instead of through the Chicago Hoard of Trade is now befng investigated by the Illinois Agricultural Association and it is sound nig sentiment in farming coniinunit les of the state. In the nine congressional dis tints where it has broached the pro posal, W. (!. Kckhart, director of the Association's grain marketing depart meat, repoits the meetings were uiiani mously for it. The Illinois Agricultural Association, a state farm buiireau federation, reports a membership of sii.liou and is operating this year on a budget of :',Mi,lllMl. 1. O. Thompson, secretary of the asso ciation, said in explanation of the propos al that the association is now holding a series of meetings through its grain mar keting department in every congressional district in the state. Their object is to consider plans for impriviiig the maikct of grain, which in Illinois is chiefly corn and oats. '' There are now Too farmei owned ele valors m the state.'' continued the Agri cultural association executive. ''We feel that there is decided room for more and areeiicouraging their establishment. Their advantage for the farmer, among other things, is that they save him the profits "Oi handling grain that private ow I ele vators turn to private individuals. "Farmer elevators also make a com petitive market at the sihpping point, where a private owned elevator having a monopoly may set its own price.
