 TO ALABAMA CLUB WOMEN.
 The State Federation of Women's Clubs that meets at Mobile in the lat ter part of November, is of great in- terest to all club women. The vari- ous departments of work undertaken by these magnificent representative women mark the progress of civilization and accentuate the value to the State of higher education for women. Never before in the history of the world have so many women caught step along the path of great and noble deeds. Club life to women has not signified self-indulgence, but ready sacrifice. and the promptness with which each meas ure Is forwarded that leads to some good end, speaks of courage to do and dare as we'll as of wisdom and love of country.
 Mrs. s. D. weakley, Corresponding Secretary of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, desires the various wo- mems clubs of the State to send to her the names of the delegates. selected by the respective clubs to the next meet Her address Is 2200 Ridge Park Avenue, Birmingham, Ala.
 There are about 1,20o club women in Alabama, and this fact makes this meet ing a matter around which much i'm terest is centered.
 That it has been stated that Mrs Orr, the valued President of the Federation, has resigned her position on account of i'll health, is a matter of deep re- gret to her faithful constituency.
 This most excellent officer has been so active in forwarding the interest of the organization. so intelligent in her admiration. so impartial and wise in all her decisions. and so gracious in her intercourse with the members, that her withdrawal from her place leaves a vacancy in the hearts of the women as well.
 This organization has been In exist ence since April IT, 1895, when in the parlors of the South Highland Presby- terian Church at Birmingham, it was organized by Miss Mary Lafayette Rob- ins of Selma, Mrs. Sterling Wood of Montgomery, presiding. There are over l fifty Federated Clubs.

THE CLUB is GOING
TO BUILD A TRACK,
Trade For Land Now About
Closed.
NUCLEUS FOR a COUNTY FAIR.
Americus Driving Clus to Secure
Splendid Grounds Out Lee Street
for Driving Park County Fair May
Grow Out of Enterprise.

With the deal for twenty acres level
red land practically consummated, the
Americas Driving Club is now an as
sured success. Among the promoters
of the organization are a half hundred
of Americas best known business
men, Who wall make it success.
Merchants s, lawyers, doctors and
those in nearly every line of business
make up the membership
The purpose and intent of the club
is to construct a splendid half mile
trotting track whereupon they can
speed their horsee, there being no such
place available here now.
And it may form the NUCLEUS of q
county fair later on.
The club has practically closed the
trade for tract OF twenty acres level
red land out Lee street, just a mile
from the courthouse. 1t Is now pro.
posed to formally organize, pay in the
subscriptions already pledged and gel
to hard work in real earnest,
The county fair and stock exhibit
feature is one of future interest.
And if The driving club undertake eli
such an enterprise will it mean q
great deal for the raising of fine stock,
cattle, mules and horses, amorg the
farmers of this section.
In years agone Sumter's annual
county fairs were as successful as any
held in the State, the splendid exhib-
it's in all departments attracting thous-
ands of visitors. And what the county
has done u con that line can and should
be done again.
The driving club will do much to
this desired end, and ere long Sumter
will again il lte the multitude to her
county fairs.

LADIES GIVEN SEVERE FRIGHT
Greatest Outrage Yet Perpetrated in
Americus.

Americus.
Il has finally reached the pass when
ladies, unattended ~ armed escort Is, or
armed themselves, cannot in safety
walk the streets Of 4 mericue after dark,
even to church, as they have ever done
heretofore.
Two who attempted this Friday night
made narrow escape.
They had just left the First Metho-
dist church, and had proceeded but a
few yards on Church street when two
boisterous men, whether whites or ne
groes it is not known, approached
them.
To avoid meeting the hoo llums the
ladies decided to cross the street and
started for the opposite side, near the
Tullis residence.
'Let's catch those ladies, said one
of the brutes to his companion.
And, suiting action to his word they
made a dash for the frightened and
unprotected ladies, Their piercing cries
quickly alarmed the neighborhood and
brought muscular assis lance, the rae.

Burglaries, day and night, are baG
