UNION, s. c., APRIL :, 1905.
FEDERATION OF WOMENS
CLUBS.

Doubtless there are not Il great
many persons not members OF the
clubs, and some who are, have Il
correct idea or knowledge OF the
scope of the work undertaken and
now being pushed with enthusiastic
zeal by the federation of womcns
clubs. Each year of the existence
of this worthy order gives evidence
of the broadening of the field OF
usefulness, and the accomplishment
of much good. 1t is probable that
the original organization of womans
club was for social pleasure, and
today the skcptic regards the class
as Il mere gathering for gossip.
With the northern and northwest
crn women the club was doubtless
the entering wedge for the advocates
of woman's rights, the right of
suffrage, since by persistent effort
through this medium, the state of
Colorado has by legislative enact
mcnt granted to the women the
right to vote and hold office.
We now make feeble attempt
to show to what extent the organi-
zation has grown. First from local
clubs to state fcdcrations then what
is now known as general federation
Z =sas -. .s4.1,.oi.cI, 'cnhDraclng and in
f5 states, the president of
which is Mrs. Sarah S. Platt Decker :
of Denver, Colorado, and Miss
Louise b. Poppenhcim, of Charles
ton, :. c., corresponding secretary.
Each state has Il state federation,
of the clubs throughout
tn entire state; this State
federation is composed of 64
clubs and 2,4OO members. This
state federation was organized in
1898, adopted constitution and
bylaws and was admitted into the
general federation in 1899. The
officers arc, president, Mrs. Wilbur
Is. Sigh, Ncwbcrry; lst vice -presi-
dent, Mrs. \. f. McKissick, Green
wood; 2nd. vicc-prcsidcnt, Mrs.
l.. +. Nichols, Chester; recording
secretary, Mrs. Julius Nj. Nisanska,
Charleston; corresponding secretary,
Mrs. Andrsw G. Moore, Columbia;
treasurer, Miss Narina ID. Brown,
Anderson; auditor, Mrs. r. Fraser
James, Darlington. The work of
the federation is divided into de-
partments with a committee for
each, the departments are education,
kindergarten, library, art, music,
forestry and civics, domestic science,
arts and crafts, reciprocity. The
federation has also undertaken to
induce the legislature to enact a law
establishing an Industrial Rcforma-
tory school and appointed one from
each as committee to aid i'm ac-
complishing this most laudablc pro-
ject, and they deserve to succeed
The South Carolina federation of
womcns clubs will meet i'm this CITY
May 1918 and will be the guests of
the city. The mayor will deliver
the address of welcome i'm behalf of
the city. Every citizen who can
should contribute to the success of
the entertainment and do all posi-
bic and feel an individual re-
sponsibility and pride in making
the stay of the delegates both
pl 'asant and profitable, as we
clo not think it would be right and
proper to let the whole burden rest
upon the members of the CITY |
Union" The City Union as is
known, is composed of the Every

FREETHINKBRS' DEMONSTRATIONS,

The International Congress of Freethinkers IS
drawing to a close without reaching any prac-
teal conclusions. A sensational feature Of the
proceedings was the installation Of temporary
plaster statue Of ChevaIier de Ia Barre, who
was tortured TO death for showing disrespect to
a religious procession in 1866. The statue,
placed on the summit of MOntmartre, exactly
opposite the entrance of the Sacre Ceur Cathe-
draI as an aggressive protest against religious
persecution, has aroused the Indignation of large
numbers of Roman Catholics, and the Free
thinkers are accused Of want Of tact in thus OPP
posing one monument TO another Great excite
ment ensued when NJ. lie Grandais, Municipal
Councillor of Montmartre, made stirring
speech on the spot to the members of the con-
gress, predicting the day would soon come when
the basilica OF Sacre Cueur would be trans
formed into a theatre for the people, where the
tragedy of "Torquemada" would be given by
the best actors and actresses OF Paris The
Frreethinkers also passed resolutions thanking
NJ LIE Grandais for his useful suggestion"
