Silk Culture
THE SOUTHERN SILK INDUSTRIAL AssO-
CITATION FINALLY ORGANIZED.
IN. O. Times Democrat. !

IN. o. Times Democrat
About fifty ladies and two or three
gentlemen, interested in silk culture,
met yesterday at Werlien Hall to per-
feet an Organization begnR Saturday
week. Mrs. DR.. W. S. Chandler pre-
sided and opened the proceedings by
reading the constitution and bylaws
prepared by the committee appointed
for that purpose. The preamble to the
constitution stated
Whereas, the South being peculiar
ly fitted by climate, soil and the habits
of its people for silk culture, we the
undersigned have determined to estab-
lish that industry upon solid business
basis, and to foster it with assiduity
and care. Our immediate aim is to aid
struggling women in their efforts for IN
honorable maintenance, and to circnm-
vent the greed of those who weuld
change bleed and muscle into gold
The back bowed and hollow chested
needle woman whose pitiful remune-
ration of 81 per dozen for pantaloons
derskirts, may now change slavery for
freedom, starvation for plenty. Our
stock is placed low, that all may in
vest and become eligible to the highest
Offices in the association. Here capital
will not domineer, nor labor grew in
solvent, but fitness alone be the test of
promotion"
This was followed by paragraph
stating the objects and purposes OF the
association, which are these !:
"The object and purposes of this
corporation are the care aud cnltiva-
tion of silk worms and the production
of raw silk and the manufacture and
sale of fabrics of silk OF cnmbined with
other materials for textile purposes,
aud the establishment of farms and
plantations for the purposes of raising
silk worms and for tilature of the pro
ducts merely and tn establish manutac
lures of silk in this State, and to these
ends to purchase, have Or hold Que or
more plantations or tracts of land, and
to canse the same to be properly culti-
waited and to raise and gather there
from such agricultural, products as may
Nc HlUSh buuiClUuS
The constitution provided that the
name of the body should be " The
Southern Silk Industrial Association ;"
that its domiciie should be in New Or
leans, and that it should have corpo-
rate existence of 80 years. The capl,
tai stock il placed at $50.00D. to be in
creased, if necessary to 5000, 700, each
share being 81. ts~5..
After the constitution and bylaws
had been adopted permanent organi-
zaticn was effected by the election of
officers. Mr.. Theophile Harang was
elected president and Mrs. DR.. Chand
ler vice president. Mr.. Harang stated
that although he was proud Of the
honor bestowed upon him and although
he wonld do his best to assist the as
sociation in every way, still, he felt
that as it was body composed of wo-
men with an object to assist women,
the women should be branght forward
rs much as possible, 40 he would give
the craftsmanship of the meetings to
the vice president.
Miss C. Hubbard was elected secre-
tary, and Mrs. J. Egan treasurer.
A vote of thanks was given the press
for it's uniform courtesy, and the meet
ing adjourned.
