The clause which lived twenty-four hours in the Alabama Constitution, granting to taxpaying women owning $500 worth of property th...e suffrage on questions of bonded indebtedness, was killed by a disease peculiar to the genus homo known as chivalry.

Yet, under the vagaries of this disease, this same convention conferred on husbands the right to vote on their wives' property.
