Sub jects, by CountY' Agent, J. R. Sams. Tryon, N. C., November 51920. WOWAN SUFFRAGE Lachesis spins' a zone of destiny To gird the loins of our great progeny; ; Strong stalwart sons, who, in the prime of youth Shall slay injustice with the sword of truth. Then shall the daughters of mankind arise , And bind upon their brcws-the laurel prize; And, hymning clear in paeans sweet of praise Sing the ripe promise of the coming days t When Liberty's fair sun shall dawn in grace On women standing in the voting place! Ye gods! Can sons their mothers still deride Who plead for justice and are yet denied? Shall Alien Lepers, forced through to roam. Be worthier deemed than they who rule the home? Men,' redolent of crime, with low bred leer Who prate to us forsooth of "woman's sphere"? O halting Justice, blind indeed and lame! Well mayst thou Mde thine eyes for very shame, . To know that worthy women lack the right To voice their yrongs or cry a sorry plight! The Sphere of woman! Who dares to draw the line wheat, not so much for the money and freeze my toe nails off while Or set a limit tp the immortal mmd Proclaims himself a foe of truth indeed; The friend of error and the tool of greed. Who draws ho virtue from-his mother's breast May scarce rise higher than the brute, at best; Since they who bear us still remain the slaves . Of ignorant despots moldering in their graves. Not so! But free as the mountain air that blows In tonic breezes from the Sierra snows, Shall we declare them! Equals then . indeed! Grant them in fullest trust their every meed! Then shall sweet Liberty in templed groves Sing all the measure of our perfect loves, In strains that rise throughout the happy years To reach in grateful anthems God's own ears.
