joined the avOcatiOnS of law and cotton
planting she had some amusing expe-
riences with the negro servants Of the
delta, and her rendition of cooking les
sons and lessons in serving given to as
pring colored bellies are iniMtable. Dur
ing the years after marriage until Mr..
Williams became politically prominent at
the democratic convention of 1892, which
nominated Mr.. Cleveland, Mrs. Williams
lived quietly on the fine plantation near
Benton which is still their home. Far
removed from the active world. she read,

besides being a guide and mentor to the
blacks on the big plantation and an in

Yazoo county was emerging from the
dark cloud of the civil war and the
miseries of the reconstruction. and in it
the first glimmerings Of literary progress
were manifest. Mrs. Williams affiliated
with all the movements which meant
progress and enlightenment and gave her
time and energy as well as her monetary
contributions. She is q member of the
Historical Society of Mississippi and has
placed valuable family records at the
disposal of the society. Like all of her
state, she believes that the future of the
commonwealth called in honor of the
of waters will surpass that of
any of the southern states. The particu-
lar strip of land where John Sharp Will

direct the field workers and settle terms
with the commission men.
According to Mrs. Williams. no state
in the Union has kept intact its fine old
homes more faithfully than Mississippi
The old plantation life has disappeared
as the result of changing economic con-
ditions except in isolated cases, but in
the old cities of the state. like Jackson
and Natchez, may be found the hospita-
BILE homes of the south famous century
ago. There are always the groves of
Towering trees, of nuts and of fruits
about the mansion, with gay borders of
flowers making splaSheS of color against
the lawns. In some cases the homes
have passed from the original owners to
late corners who are more opulent, but
the prevailing tone is not changed with
the ownership. The same hospitality is
maintained and the air of old world
leisure and aristocratic origin hangs about
the old towns, and. says Mrs. Williams,
is a subject worthy of profound study
and perhaps to serve as model.
x*
The farm at Cedar Grove, the Williams
home, is we'll known throughout the
state. Nearly all the progressive south
erners have discarded the old world
plantation for the shorter and more
modern rendition, the farm. There is
a model dairy, truck garden which
is celebrated. besides the broad acres
given to the raising of cotton which
has long ranked in the blue ribbon
and gilt horns class at all the agrl-
cultural competitions. Mrs. Williams is
deeply attached to her home. though
she enjoys Washington life and takes
keen interest in the national progress.

history has been the subject of much lit
erature, the family records coming down
in an unbroken line from the first settler
from England in the first half of the
seventeenth century to the revolutionary
soldier, Robert Webb, who fought under
Gen. Marion. From her mother, who
was born Julia Fulton, Mrs. Williams in
herited her love of music, as she had got
ten her love of books from her father.
After studying in the nearby schools in
Alabama Mrs. Williams was sent to Il
seminary III Staunton, Va, where she re-
manned for many years. She specialized
in music, and graduating received the
star medal, quite honor i'll those
days and the subject of the keenest n
valry. Her marriage followed closely on
the termination of her school career, the
result of a friendship formed during the
visit of young John Sharp Williams to
some relatives in Virginia when she was
at the Staunton seminary With faml'y
cares n large circle of little ones and the
crushing question of servants in the south
just after the conclusion of the recon-
struction act Mrs. Williams had weary
time to keep apace with her literary ana
musical inclinations, but she conquered
in the struggle.
Shortly after the marriage, in 1877, Mr.
Williams removed from Shelby, Tenn, TO
HaZoo City, where he united the pre-
carious professions of the law and cotton
planting. Mrs. Williams was his able
coadjutor in every way. not the least be-
ing that she undertook the primary in
structiOn of the little flock, prepared all
for the academy and taught them music
until they advanced sufficiently to place
in the hands of mature teachers. Her

cause of its adoption of so many new iSmS

In addition to the woman suffragists
themselves, two interesting factions are
at work in their campaign of this
autumn. One is new, naton-Wlde ana
friendly organization of men, known as
the National Mems League for Woman
Suffrage which has not yet chosen a
president, but whose secretary is Omar
F.. Garwood, assistant district attorney
of Denver, who is now helping the sur
fragettes of Kansas. This league is af-
tilated with an international organiZa-
ton of the same name, whose president
is Sir John Cotton of England. The other
faction in question is the likewise new
National Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage, whose president is Mrs. Arthur
NJ Dodge of New York and under whose
motheriy wing are seven or more state
organizations, officered by such women
as Mrs E,lihu Root. wife of the New
York senator, and Mrs. Richard Watson
Glider widow of the editor of the Ceh-
tury Magazine.
