MEETING OF CLUB WOMEN.
Second day of the South Carolina Fed
GRAFTON.

Greenville, May 1.-THE second day
OF the South Carolina Federation of
Women's Clubs was crowded with
business and pleasure. At the morn.
ing session several interesting ad-
dresses were delivered. Mrs. FAINT
| of Anderson, chairman OF the DEPART
ment Of forestry and civics, read a
report of her work during the past
year, which showed wonderful growth.

OF the probability Of it's being ready

en- must not fail in their duty.

ciation, made an interesting talk and
paid a splendid tribute to the work
of Mrs. A. F. McKissick, the retiring

Parliamentary Usages for Women's
Clubs" was introduced to the fedora
ton. She gave by use of the black
board a practical demonstration re-
garding the precedence of amend
ments and motions. Her talk will
prove OF great value to the men,
bers.
After short recess for luncheon,
which was served in the music room
of the Greenville Female college,
| where the sessions are being held,
the afternoon session was called to
order.
The most important business trans
acted at this session was the election
of officers. Mrs. M. p Gridley of
Greenville received a large majority
Tor president on the first ballot and
the election was made unanimous.
Mrs. Gridley declined the Office on the
ground that her health would not per-
NIT 1t. 1t was generally regretted

Men.

Dear Sirs and Bros:
There is to be a great Commercial
Travellers Interstate Prosperity Con-
gress held in this city on the 14th and
18th of August next. Comptroller
Herman A. Metz, who Is an old-time
member of the United Commercial
Travellers and Travellers Protective As
sociation, has been made President.
This Congress has been inspired by
a desire on the part Of the members
or these two organizations, which
have branches in every State of tha
Union, to endeavor as far as in their
power to restore confidence and trade
which Is so shaken in many sections:..
The conclusion these travelling
men have come to u.s. that If they cam
only bring their members from far
and near together and demonstrate
convincingly that prosperity in its
true sense really abounds in this great
land. that the present stagnated con-
dition Of trade is due directly to lack
of confidence, they can induce their
customers to take a more optimistic
view Of business and start again tho
wheels of industry and thus en-
courage far and near to do likewise.
The idea is to make the Conn
mercial Travellers the real Advance
Agents of Prospect
They intend to have their members
entertained by speakers from the
most influential business men, so that
those who come to the Commercial
Travellers Interstate Prosperity Con-
vention will leave in a more opti-
mistic frame Of mind, and that be-
fore long their business will be re-
stored to the normal volume, il it
does not break all records.
s. c. Mead. secretary of the Mer--
chants Association of New York. has
written Mr.. Metz to say: cit gives US
much pleasure to advise you that the
Association will be delighted to place
its facilities at the disposal of the
Convention, offering for the holdine
of the Convention the use Of our
Auditorium. our largest room. Tho

ton, appealed very strongly to tho.

Vice-Consul Ernest Vollmer reports that one of the constantly growing inn ports into the Chinese province of Shantung, through the port of Tsing- tau is old horseshoes, which leads him to give the following particulars: Cpe steamer alone in November brought three hundred tons of this scrap iron from Hamburg. The market for these wornout shoes seems to be almost with out limit Chinese iron dealers buy the horseshoes and sell them to knife and tool manufacturers al over the pro- vince. It is claimed by the Chinese that the temper of this class of iron makes it the best obtanable for knives and cutlery, and also good for other tools The reason ascribed for this is that the constant beating the shoes have received under the feet of horses has given them peculiar tenl- per absolutely unobtainable in any oth- CT way, and that tools made from them are superior to all others.

BAND WAGON" FRIENDS.

A piece of advice from Chemung county, where Congressman Fassett lives, was given the other day to the band wagon friends" of Governor Hughes They were urged to initiate the pregnant silence of that statesman and to remember that New York is as useful in a presidential election as in a Republican national convention.
 Whether this somewhat enigmatic utterance does or does not mean that the activities of the band wagon friends are jeopardizing the reputation of the governor in the State it is cer- tain that the assemblage at Albany on Thursday contained many remarkable gaps. among them the gap which was not filled by Congressman Fassett, As
 semblyman Merritt. the majority leader in the assembly. who was an ardent supporter of the Hughes meas ures last year except in relation to water power. was among the absent. So, more strangely still was Frederick e. Stevens who, hostile critics say has been the governors Machiavelli. MT. Page was present. Also Senator Fully. Likewise John A. Sleicher who is al- most always present. But the accred- tied party leaders in the State were in- dwisposed. or otherwise unavoidably detained. No keen-sighted friend of the governor can see in this meeting any specially hopeful auguries. Every election must be preceded bv nomin- ation, and the nominee of each of the two great parties will be elected this year, not by the votes of those who remain outside of party lines, but rather by those who submit to the principles of the party and belong to ] its organization. New York State will be the greatest prize to he gained, and the purposes of those who favor | the choice of Mir. Hughes as New York's candidate for the presidency
 are not to be promoted by such or ganizations as that which was de-
 scribed in yesterdays papers. This is
 not because many of the men who
 took part in that organization are
