LIFTING AS WE OLIMB."
The National Association Of CoIored
Women-A Word About its Work
and Scope-Second Convention
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 14-I7.

The second convention of the Nat
ional Association of Oolored Women
will be held in the great city OF Chica-
60, August IA to 18th. This con gem
tion promises to cali together the larg
est and most representative BODY OF
colored women ever assembled. Thav
will go ss delegates from more than
two hundred clubs Of women, scattered
over the country from the Gulf to the
Great Lakes and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
The motto Of the National Associa-
tion, Lifting as we climb" is the
watchword OF each and every one of
these clubs; and it is impossible to
form any just estimate or have
any proper appreciation OF the
wonderful werk that is being accom-
pllshed by the earnest women who
have identified themselves with rhis
club movement. Prison treform work.
homes for the aged, sick, aud fallen
women orphan Asylums, hospitals.
klndergartens, mothers circles, self
Improvement circles, schools of do
mestlc economy, and manY other
worthy enterprises are engaging the
attention OF our thoughtful and ener-
getic club women in the various sec
tlons OF our co1ntry. This work of
the National Association of CoIored
Women rs playing no small part in the
nerce Dattle that is being fought with
the enemies OF our progress both with
ln ana without our race, and it is prov-
ing itself power for good that cannot
be over estimated.
1t IS desired that the women OF Vir-
ginia shall CO. operate with those of
other states in Strengthening the Ma
tIonal ASSOCIATION and adding to their
our lnnaenca and power by afi.iating
themselves with this movement. Az
ready the most influential rnInisters
OF the State have promised to arouse
the women OF their churches to the inn
portance OF uniting their organizations
with this great National Association of
CoIored WomeH.
Every club in the state that has for
its object the moral, mental and ma
terial development OF our people should
join this Association. There are many
communities where.no clubs have been
formed. and it is hoped that the lead
ing women in these places will omen
their eyes to the opportunities before
them for the elevation OF home, moral
and civil life.
If you have a club, unite it with the
National Association and send a dele.
gate to the National Convention. II
you have no club, then organize one
now, you will Ind it good time TO do
so.
Any information or constitution.
etc., will be cheerfully furnished by

Oa Friday, iI was decided to have
the BODY meet by states aud this ar
rangement was quite satisfactory as in
most OF the states north, there was no
objection TO their colored associates.
But Friday night, the rigid restric-

became the centre of attraction, In
vain he essayed to go to his state. The
1sners were obdurate and the elder
was equally SO. He sat where he him

he would not.

AwHITR MOB.
This man was brought to DunnelIon
Friday. June e'h, a white mob took the
man down the river, lynched him and
tnen threw him in the river.
Included In the mob were two color
ca men, whom the whites took along
10 DO the mean act. The colored men
nave since told what had been done.

ne was drowned. Hearing this some
OF the coiored men proceeded 10 search
ior the lost man, and signs being fav.
cradle some OF the men returned to
CoWn with arms and arrested the two
coiO1eo men who were with the white
mob. This created great excitemant
among the people.
TO STOP THE TROUBLE.
The train left here going north and
south Tor armed white men To come
ana help stop the tr Juble. By O'clock
sunday night there were more than
900 armed men. besides the eitizena
whiSh mad about 900 in ali. with or
ders to kill the guards, who had been
appointed by the mayor of the towp to
guard the Jail
The men held their post till they saw
that the opponents were too many for
tnem 90 resist. This crowd asked the
SuSrGs 30 take part with them and
zLli 'ne tWo colored men whom they
had in Jail. The guards wouId not
agree to their proposition. 40 thew (the
guards( had to surrender.
THE ootoRED MEN WHIPPED.
The mob took the two meu and Uhin-
ped them for telling the truth on them.
and gave them money to leave to pre-
vent further proof of the outrageous
crime. They thought the men were
gone. and SO they published the arti- |
Gle to suit their own fancy and laid it
to the Negroes.
Before the article could reach the
press, these men were seen Cn the
streets the next day. You can lust
imagine how surprised the opponents
were. The county sheriff came from
OcAla and investigated matters and
gave the eolored men credit for pro-
tecting the law. Not one gun had been
nred fer signal of riot nor has there
been, since the finding OF the lost man.
Ihere has been no riot between the
two races here.
