SUFFRAGISTS OF ATLANTA ARE ANXIOUS TO GREET MRS. PANKHURST IN THIS CITY
ENGLISH LEMEH
MLLBEISKEDTO
#lsll THE SOUTH
Mrs. McLendon Declares That Her
Presence Would Be Inspiration
for Workers in Cause.
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, militant
suffragist leader, of England, daily
approaches the shores of the United
States. And here in Atlanta the suf
fragists have come to a great desire.
They would have the staunch British
woman come here to tell them of her
work and her hopes.
Here and there over the United
States are knots of suffragists who
are ready to scoff at Mrs. Pankhurst.
Some have said even she would not
be welcomed, according to dispatches.
Not so in Atlanta. Mrs M. L. Mc-
Lendon, president of the Georgia
Equal Suffrage Association, said yes
terday Mrs. Pankhurst would be wel
comed to Atlanta, and enthusiastical
ly. Mrs. McLendon said she has talk
ed the matter over with suffragists
In Atlanta, and now she is even cast
ing about for some means to Induce
the British leader to come to At
lanta.
Mrs, Pankhurst Rea! Leader.
Os course, she tells you, and the
other Atlanta suffragists make haste
to affirm, the militant methods of
English suffragists are not to be ac
cepted. Atlanta suffragists do not in
dorse the extremities of their Eng
lish sisters. Still
“Mrs. Pankhurst Is the leader In a
great fight,’’ said Mrs. McLendon.
“She Is our greatest champion. Sure
ly we should welcome her, and be glad
to hear her. We are seeking always
for the truth, and we should like to
hear from her lips the story of her
fight in England. Surely there must
be some factor in the English situa
tion that we know nothing of to cause
the militancy that is being held
against the cause by so many peo
ple.’’
Mrs. McLendon’s Idea is to secure
a hall, in event Mrs. Pankhurst comes,
and arrange for public lectures by the
English leader.
The thought that Mrs. Pankhurst
will tell something of the fight in
England that is not known to suffra
gists here Impels other suffrage work
ers of Atlanta to desire her coming.
Miss Katherine Koch, of No. 382 South
Moreland avenue, one of the leading
suffragists of the State, Is another
who would welcome Mrs. Pankhurst, |
and for much the same reason as Mrs.
McLendon,
“Not only Is Mrs. Pankhurst our
leader, but she can tell us facts con
cerning the fight in England that
probably do not get to us now,’’ said
Miss Koch. “We are seeking always
for the truth.
“Certainly women qf the South
would never Indorse Mrs. Pankhurst's
militant methode. For one thing, It
would not be necessary, as our men
are not like the men of England. The <
situation is different.”
Mrs E. A. Matthews, of Washlng
•' trace, another leader in suf
frage work in Atlanta and through
the State, would be glad to see Mrs. ;
Pankhurst in Atlanta.
All for Same Cause.
“She is working for the same cause, .
?nd is the bravest fighter for that '
cause.” she said. "Without indorsing
extreme methode of the British
suffragists, we should gladly welcome
the opportunity to pay tribute to the
most indefatigable and fearless work
er in a noble cause and to hear her
story.
“Her appearance, too, would help
the cans©, attracting attention to it
from all sides.”
Mrs. Matthews’ daughter. Miss Ma
mie Matthews, is one of the foremost
suffrage advocates among the young
er set In Atlanta. She is now a stu
dent In Shorter College, but last
spring, at the time the Atlanta work
ers were preparing for the great suf
frage parade in Washington, she was
in Atlanta and was one of the most
active.
“If she were here,” sail Mrs. Mat
thews, “she, too, would feel that Mrs.
Pankhurst should oe welcomed.”

Suffragists Invite
Southern Governors
President of Georgia League One of Those to
Sign Appeal to Executives.
"Southern women look to Southern
men to give them the ballot,” said
Mrs. Mary L. McLendon, president of
the Georgia Equal Suffrage Associa
tion, yesterday.
"We would rather be granted suf
frage at the hands of our own State
Legislatures than by means of an
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States. You see, being South
erners, we have our regard for the
doctrine of State’s rights.
"But, of course, we want the ballot,
and falling Its grant by the State, we
should look to the constitutional
amendment, the prospect of the pass
age of which through Congress Is
bright."
It is this sentiment that is the es
sence ot a letter which has been sign
ed by leading suffragists tn the dif
ferent Southam States, and sent to
each Southern Governor. Mrs Mc-
Lendon displayed the letter, of which
she is one of the signers.
Ask Governors to Meeting.
"We are asking the Governors of
the Southern States to meet with us
In New Orleans, where a convention
of the Suffrage Workers of the South
will be held November 10 and 11.”
The letter is:
"My Dear Governor: The under
signed women of the Southern States,
on the part of the suffragists of their
respective Stateaearnestly request the
Governors of the Southern States or
their representatives, to meet them In
conference in New Orleans, November
10-11. to discuss and adopt a uniform
plan of action for the adoption of
woman suffrage in the South.
'We are united in the belief that
suffrage is a State right and that the
power to define a State’s electorate
should remain in the executive right of
the State. However, we recognize
that woman suffrage is no longer a
theory to be debated but a condition
to be met. The inevitable 'votes for
women' is a world movement, and un
less the South squarely faces the Is
sue and takes steps to preserve the
State right the force of public opin
ion will make it mandatory through
a National Constitutional Amend
ment.
"In fact, the National Council of
Voters, consisting of enfranchised
women, has for Its object the influ
encing of national legislation to se
cure the ballot for the women who
have not yet received it. While as
Southerners we wish to see the power
of the State retained, yet as women

"We, therefore, appeal to youlgentle
men vested with the power to so large

woman suffrage through State action.
Falling to accomplish this, the onus
of responsibility will rest upon the

are forced to support a national

We W ant Mrs. Pankhurst to Come to Atlanta
And Pell of the Cause, Declares Georsia Leader
IN the interest of truth and fairness Mrs. Pankhurst should
be invited to Atlanta, if for no other reason. Suffragists of
Atlanta are eager to see Mrs. Pankhurst and to hear her
tell the people of this city the story of her work and of her
struggles, and of her ideals. They are eager to hear the truth
of the attempt in England to get the ballot. We do not hear
the truth in this country. There are always tidings unfavor
able to the cause, and never anything of justification for the
suffragists and their methods. There Is another side. The
PANIC CAUSED
81 BULL TOIL
IS SUBSIDING
Farmers Are Learning How to
Cope With Destructive Pest,
Says Demonstration Agent.
SAVANNAH. Sept 20.—That the
Georgia farmer must begin now his
preparations for combating the boil
■ weevil is the message which Profe&-
sor J, Walter Hendricks, district dem
onstration agent for the State De
partment of Agriculture, brings from
Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama,
where he has been with other agri
cultural experts studying the ravages
of the weevil.
“The first thing that impressed me
• with the cotton fields of Louisiana
I and Mississippi,” said Profesaor Hen
: dricks, “was that there were nowhere
' any blooms to be seen. At this time
i the weevils had already’ destroyed ah
the cotton squares, so that no more
| blooming was possible. It is almost
■ Impossible to have a top crop under
; weevil conditions.
“If the farmer Is alert, follows the
best cultural methods and picks the
weevil carefully, as well as the young
squares in which the eggs are laid, he
can, by planting early, always get a
bottom crop, and at least a part of the
middle crop, but none of the top crop.
If he is careless and indifferent and
will not follow the hest agricultural
methods, pick weevils and punctured
squares, he seldom gathers any cotton
at all.
“Another thing that impressed me
Is the spirit of hope and determina
! tion in the weevil territory that has
’ been Infested for several years, in
j other words, the farmers have found
, how to make a profitable yield of cot
l ton under weevil conditions, and the
| panic caused by the coming of the
weevil is over. This is true in I>oulsi
ana and Texas, but not so in Missis
sippi and Alabama. In Mississippi
the recovery from the panicky condi
tions attendant upon the weevil’s ad
vent have not disappeared, though
some of the farmers are getting on
their feet in the matter of growing, or
else have turned to other crops. In
Alabama the panic is just beginning
to be felt, since that State is not yet
more than one-half infested, perhaps.
“Someone may ask what will be the
effect of the boll weevil upon the
Georgia farmer. It will most cer
tainly force a higher and better elass
of farming, or else cause the farmer
to discontinue his occupation. It will
be impossible, in my opinion, for all
the Georgia farmers to leave off
growing cotton and depend upon oth
er crops. Therefore, it will be nec
essary for them to learn now how to
grow cotton under weevil conditions.
This I believe a many’ farmers
will do even at the beginning, and
when they have done so others will
follow their example.”

FAMILY EXTINCT,
TITLE TO BURIAL
PLOT IS IN DOUBT
Tombstones So Old Inscriptions
Are Effaced—Ownership Puz
zles Savannah Officials.
SAVANNAH, Sept. 20—On the
eastern side of the city. In the subdi
vision known tw Hawthorne Park,
i there is an abandoned cemetery
wherein the members of an old Sa
vannah family are buried. Four
tombstones, the Inscriptions on which
are barely distinct enough to be read,
are still there to Identify the plot as
a burying ground. So far as is known
the family whose members are burled
there Is extinct. The question as to
who is the rightful owner of the prop
erty has been raised.
The existence of the old cemetery
was brought to light when N. P. Nils
son. who ow ns the adjoining property,
applied at the city hall for permission
to clear away the weeds and grass—
the signs of many years of neglect
Because Nilsson could not say who
the property belonged to he did not
get the coveted permission.
Nilsson bought the property a few
months ago from the Hawthorne Im
provement Company. Hawthorne
Park was a tract belonging to Pound
er. The Hawthorne Improvement
Company was organized to take the
property over and subdivide It. Prac
tically all of the property has been
sold off In lots.
One of the three lots which Nilsson
wanted to buy was the one on which
the abandoned cemetery was located.
The agents of the company explained
that they could not sell him thia lot,
as their deed only gave them the cus
tody of It. But they agreed to deed
to him their rights In the cemetery
property on condition that he would
buy the other two lots. This propo
sition was accepted.
The tract of land now known as
Hawthorne Park was sold by John
Bilbo to Dennis Reardon In 1886. In
this sale Bilbo reserved the right for
the members of his family to use the
plot, 35 by 36 feet, sg a burying
ground. Reardon subsequently sold
the tract to Pounder with that under
standing. The Hawthorne Improve
ment Company agreed to the same
conditions. And Nilsson, the last
purchaser, is bound by the same
agreement. But the question Is, must
Nilsson allow the property to remain
as a burying ground If all the mem
bers of the Bilbo family are dead?
