This woman's educational club has
struck race question and the trouble is
not over as yet. Membership to this So
ciety is regulated by the subscription to
;. q share Of stock. 81 and signing the con-
stitution. The objact Of this club is to
encourage social intercourse and educate
its members in typewriting, stenogra-
ply. and such things as constitute a
course in business college. Everything
moved along without friction until Miss
Florence Smith an Afro-Americau and
principal of school in this city sc cured a
share of stock and began to attend class
in typewriting. For few times she was
tolerated but at last the blood of the old
slave driver and slave holder showed
itself through the southern women who
held memberships in the club. Miss
Desha, sister-in-law to Congressman
Breckenridge of KY, is secretary of the
Wimodaughis and at the dictation of the
turbulent prejudice blinded southerners
resigned her position. Miss Desha
would no doubt have rets ined her posi-
ton had she not returned to Miss Smith
her 81 and demanded her ticket of mem
bership. When the board of directors
of the society heard this they denounced
her action and held that the society had
no right to draw the color line in view
of the objects stated in the articles of
corporation. Miss Lucy E Anthony
and Rev. Anna H. Shaw are members
of the board and also Woman Suffrag-
