WoMEN's ORGANIZATIONS.

Too little attention Is given TO or
ganlsations Of women. More and
more every woman ID being drawn
into some sort VI club or association.
and as result women are growing
less morally and mentally near
sighted.
Tho daily papers which lend us to
believe taat women foregather simply
to wage a word war and display their
millinery are misleading. for those
who know can testify that such Is
not the case--the war and the mil
linory being only feminine character
istIcs Of the most superficial sort and
slgnlfying no more than mons to-
baeeo smoke.
The women's organizations have
done much In moral and civic way.
and their work is marching on. For
instance. the American people possess
Mount Vernon as Mecca for patriot
lc pilgrims because OF devoted
group OF women. and they have to
thank the Daughters OF the Amerl-
can Revolution for most OF our other
historical landmarks. Tho buying in
OF Washington's headquarters at VAL
10y Forge. which otherwise would
have gone under the hammer. is In
stanced a, only one OF their good
works. They carry on practical
charity az we'll.
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union 10 one OF the quietest but
most efficient OF womcn's organlza-
tIors. What they do for erring girls
and to prevent young girls from
trcading the dark ways-is a beauti-
ful story In itself, aside from their
warfare against intemperance. their
work IN the lails. etc.
The United Daughters OF the Con-
fedoracy have largely been the cause
OF the union, now so strongly CO.
between the North and tho
South. II the women OF the South
made the war;" as they have been ac-
cused OF doing. then have they bound
up the wounds they caused.

The Galveston horror that has
filed the papers for the past few
days, is the most terrible that has
ever happened. The wind blew at
the rate of 80 miles or more, while
the water covered the entire city
from five to ten feet. Just to think,
over five thousand human beings be-
ing drowned and crushed to death
by falling buildings. Millions and
millions of dollars worth of property
was destroyed. 1t has always been
predicted that Galveston would
sooner or later be destroyed, with
wind and water. This city will never
recover from the terrible catastro-
ply.

THE HEN PARTY.

A thoroughly enjoyable "hen party"
was given at the home of Mrs. E. b.
Moore on Tuesday evening last.
Just as the shades of night were
gathering the girls congregated on
the porch and played games and con-
versed on such subjects as logic, phil
osophy and psychology until $50
O'Clock, when supper was announced.
The table was beautifully decorated
with ferns and flowers with cut glass
and silver. The suppec was elegant
and abundant, and never was repast
more enjoyed; wit and iced tea flowed
in continual stream. At each place
was tiny yellow hen with yellow rib
bon around its neck, which the girls
wore as souyeniers of the occasion.
The supper hour was marred by only
only disturbance, the appearance of
two very queer looking ladies, becom-
ingly attired in shirt waists. skirts and
white sunbonnets. AS neither of the
ladies spoke word, the girls were left
in doubt as to theil nationality and
uuSiuOoo, Uub vi COuISC bucy utu uOI
curiosity enough to make inquiries.
After supper. the girls again sought
the porch and spent the time pleasant
ly in singing to the accompaniment of
the guitar.
Messrs. r. P. Kennedy. Willie Moore,
Vail Pittman and John Montgomery by
chance came around later in the even
ing and very kindly offered to escort
the girls to their homes.
The ''hen party" consisted of Mrs.
Z. B. Moore, Misses Stella Saint, Car
rie White. Beulah Goodrich, Eva
Davis, Katie Kennedy, Narcisse Ken
nedy. May Burney, Pearl Burney.
Adah Rous ond Benella Brown.
Mrs. Moore and Miss Saint and Miss
Katie Kennedy made very charming
hostesses, while Mr.. Moore perfoim med
mis- part in the evenings program to
perfection. BIB.

BRYAN AND STEVENSON CLUB.

Last Wednesday evening the citi-
zens met and adopted constitution
and bylaws. for the Bryan and
Stevenson Club, which was formed
last Monday night. The object of
the club is to have discussions once
a week on the leading questions OF
the presidential campaign, especially
trusts and Imperialism, which have
placed almost all other issues in the
background. These meetings will
be very interesting, and we hope the
citizens will attend in large numbers
to hear the different speakers. A
small campaign fund will be- raised
to send to national headquarters, and
we trust that every one will give
something to the good cause.
Democracy is the party of the peo-
pie. 1t has always been such. Its
platforms and its doctrines, from. its
formation, have been framed with a
view of helping the toiling masses.
VIM. j. Bryan is the exponent of
these doctrines and the great repre-
sentative of working classes. He
has bright future ahead of him,
and his chances for election are
growing brighter every day.
1t is of the deepest Importance to
this country that he should be elect
ed, for the Republican party has
launched out on a land grabbing
scheme that may some day prove
very disastrous to our free institu-
tons.
We hope our little Bryan and
Stevenson club will do we'll, and that
the people will be benefited by the
addresses that will be made by some
of our leading citizens.

The following from the Farmerville
Gazette shows that Judge Dawkins,
Of Union, is on the right tract aud is
exactly Johnny-on-the-spot with our
Judge, who went in from the start
to put stop to crime, and any one
coming up before him expecting to
get off easy, will get fooled. The
Gazette says: "Judge Dawkins has
adopted, according to our way of
thinking, the proper policy to sup
press crime, by putting on heavy
penalties. Offenders who plead
guilty or are convicted before him
can rely upon getting sentences that
will be felt, and this is the only way
to check the chrome violator of the
law in his hayward course"

''Six weeks ago. says the Albany
Argus, ''the Republican campaign
managers were claiming New York
State for Mckinley. To-day they
are panic-stricken, and Mark Hanna
has announced that he will remain
in New York throughout the cam
paign. Six weeks ago Hanna ex-
pected to remain in the East only
until Sept. /. But the situation has
changed in the eyes of the Trust
campaign managers and they realize
that the great commonwealth of New
York is likely to repudiate the Party
of trusts, imperialism and Platt-
ism on Nov. g."

TheAtlanta Journal in commenting
on the three prominent negro Repub-
licans, Bishops Turner, Grant and
Derrick, of the African Methodist
Church, who have come out for
Bryan and Stevenson and who will
take the stump in the doubtful States,
says: "The light in which the Re-
publican party regards the negro is
shown by the expressions of the Re-
publican press on the bolt of the
negro bishops. This action is treat
ed as if it were almost crime. 1t is
attributed to personal spite and 9TH
er low motives. The possibihtytthat
it was dictated by worthy motive
or an honest conviction is never once
admitted by the incensed Republic
cans. Their anger is all the greater
because of the announcement that
the seeding bishops will take part in
the campaign in some. of the doubt
full States. The negro vote in New
York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois has
hitherto been going almost solidly
for the Republican party. Any con-
siderable division of that vote in
these States this year might play
havoc with the Republican party.
The negro bishops who have re-
their former political affiIia-
tions and come over 70 the Demo
Gratis, are likely to play q consider
able part in this campaign.
