January 26th, 1911
To the Hon. Senate and House c
Representatives, Columbia, S. C. Gai
tlemen: Woman can not vote
neither does she wish to. But'whe
the thumbserew is applied to her- it
terests, I presume she has a right t
squeal-hasn't she?
If the house of representtaires an
senate proposes to ."monkey" wit
our time every day in the year, suri
.1y I can expect them to spare 1n
a-little of their time and attentiao
for once, when I come before the2
in behalf of myself and for (Ahers.
I am a weaver in Newberry Coi
ton mills, and voice the sentimenI
oLf every other woman employed her
when I say let us alone. We are we
pleased with things as they are. W
-e not willing to have our' sixt
hours per week divided by six, an
by those who know mothing at a
ioneerning our wishes, needs or r<
quirements.
PIf we are contented, why keep u
forever in a stew with some 0l
"bill" to change things? Why den
us every God given right and privi
Slee? Who 'has a right to ideprive a
of our Saturday afternoons, that ar
so eagerly looked forward to by u
all? Take Saturday afternoons froi
us, and I think you will 'have take
the very last work day right ar
privilege left us, and I suppose
will be only a question of time, whe
our Sundays will be ordered "cu
and dried" for us!
The fanner-if he has any "g
up an' git" in him-often worn
from twelve to thirteen 'hours pe
day, and every " kid" big enough t
carry a hoe puts in the full time dui
ing the long hot days in June an
July. Who would dare to interfez
with the farmers rights? s ave mni
people no rights ?-and sno voice i
any matter pertaining to their we
fare?
Let us alone! Give us rest fro:
enreasonlable "bills" proposed f<
our "welfare" through mistake
ideas of a few who are not concen~
ed. We are safe ir, the hands of et
employers who have our interest
heart, and are always ready to wor
for it. They are kind to us and ti
rules are reasonsable. With the in
proved machinery now in use by a
up-to-date cotton mills, work is i
longer 'a dr'udgery it's a pleasure.
If you take from us our Saturda
aflb*noons, when, in the nameC
common sense when, are we to i
our shopping? "Colors seen 'by car
dle light do not look the same b
day," artd there would be a lot
dissatisfied customers and cross, gnu:
and ugly dry goods merchants.
----And when are we to have a fe
moments to spend with our flower:
tending them with loving hands whi:
their fragrance and swee[ influent
speak to us eloquently of Nature
God? And when are we to have
little .spare time for the garden, ti
most loved spot around the home <
every thrifty house wife?
Let us alone, Oh, let us alone! E
are not oven worked.
We enjoy life as it is, are livin
easy, 'happy and contented. TI
thumb screw has been applied to ou
interests enough. One more twit
will be beyond the limit of enduranc<
and we won't sit and suck our thumi
while "bills" are being passedi
our hurt, and by those who evident]
wouldn't know a loom from a spin
iing frame, A lug strap from a fil
ing fork, or a picker stick from
warp beam.
Leave things as they are. We-tbi
cotton mill women .you wish i
"help'"-respectfully ask you.

Mr. Wm. Howard Taft, Presiden!
1- U. S. A., Washington, D. C.
d Dear Sir:-I se- from your me:
- sage to cougress that there is a def
t- cit in the postal department.
e You say the cause of this defici
is the carrying of second class ma
matter too cheap (one cent pe
e pound). You say the-railroad com
;- panies charge the Vnited State
e. nine cents per pound, for carryin
;o se-cond class mail matter.
n Now, Mr. Taft, I have it from th
n very best authority that the expres
h companies carry papers and mags
k zines at one cent per pound, anoid th
s express companies pay the railroa
3, companies only one half cent pe
e pound for such matter.
f Now the question arises, why thi
d discrimination against- the people i
it favor of the express companies b;
y the railroads?
11 Now, Mr. Taft, myself and abou
5. 3,000,000 others want to know wh;
L- the railroad eompanies can't carr;
h an article for the people just a
t cheap as they do for the expres
- companies?
You will fin enelosed a self-a
dressed, stamped envelope for repl

Yours for justice,

n The facts embodied in the fore
i- going letter indicate a policy 'of th
o government of which the reader ma
judge for :himself-yet not in silen
id acquiescence; it is a subject that ev
h ery one should bring to the atter
- tion of his representatives in con
.e gress with a demand - for action It
a effect a change.
n Just at the present time we ar
vitally concerned about the Presj
b- dent's reply to that letter. It co
:s sists in applying himself vigorousl
-, to infuence congress to alter th
11 postal law so as to exclude from se<
e ond class - mail matter all magazine
y and papers except the great dailie
d (which have influence in presider
11 tial nominations).
The one plea is, that the postU
service is not paying expenses. J
se great weekly Jabor journal asks:
d pertinent question: "Why shodl
y the deficit .made up? Why shoul
i- the posto ee pay? Does the nay
s pay ? Does the army pay ? DoE
e -the agricultural department pay
us Does the weather bureau pay? Doe
n any . department 'of governmer
n pay?"' Then why all -this hue ain
.d cry about the postal deficit?i
Et Ah Sir! it is not that. Th~e adc
n ministration knows well that an ix
t- -erease in postage .as proposed wou]
be of 'little material advantage to th
it fmnances; for it would put onftof hua
s in'ess so many trades-journais, an
r cheap papers, and so enhance the eos
o Iof many magazines that altogethe
..millions of 'homes would be shorn E
