VIRGINIA CLUB WOMEN HOLD
SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
Emily H. Williams.

The sixth annual convention of
virginia State Federation of Colored
Womens Clubs, held in the Zion Bap-
list Church, at Portsmouth, June %
~, was one of the most interesting
and profitable series of meetings of
colored women ever conducted in Vir-
GINA.
Earnest, thoughtful women from
all sections of Virginia constituted
harmonious convention. Prominent
women representing all phases of
social uplift work in over seventy-five
federated clubs having more than two
thousand members were present.
The entire program, as arranged by
Mrs. Ida Nugent Paey, chairman Of
the program committee, was carried
out The meetigs were ably conducted
by the president, Mrs. Harris Bar
rett, OF Hampton, who has so sue
cessfully conducted the Federation
from the time of its organization at
Hampton Institute and Mrs. Ora B.
oStkes, of Richmond the charming
vice president at large, who is one
Of the leading church workers of her
city and state.
All OF the papers were interesting
and were we'll discussed by the ladies'.
Mrs. M. b. France, Of Portsmouth,
read beautiful welcome address to
which Miss Lucy Addison, Of Roam
oke, responded A symposium on
community club work and its posi-
bilities included Morality in the
Home" Mrs. Stokes, of Richmond;
Religion in the Home" Mrs. A. V.
Clark, of Newport News; Sanitation
an the Home by Mrs. Lawrence, Of
Norfolk. The papers were highly
constructive, pointing out evils and
suggesting remedies. Mrs. Clark S
paper emphasized the Importance of
proper supervision Of public amuse-
ments 1t provoked much discussion.
The distinction between public and
home amusements was not clearly
drawn. Many of the social workers
spoke in defense of folk games and
folk dances; but some prominent
church workers condemned dancing
in every form. A committee was no
pointed to report on Proper Amuse-
ments for Our Children" Bible sto-
ries, campfire games were endorsed
and careful chaperonage was earnest.
ly recommended
Mrs. X. Telfair Boland, of Roanoke,
the recording secretary of the, Fed
GRAFTON, read a splendid paper on
Race Mortality" Mrs. Boland
brougt before the women in the most
telling way the discouraging condi
tons regarding the Negro death rate,
especially in the cities.
Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of Rich
mond, president Of the st. Luke's
Bank, gave an account of the housing
conditions of the colored people OF
Richmond. Mrs. Walker is the only
colOred woman president Of a bank

washer women, earning from fifty
cents to a dollar a day, have to pay
eighteen dollars a month rent for
three rooms on a dump pile, while

SYMPTOMS or. CONSUMPTION
Yield to Vino1.

The medical profession do not be-
lieve that consumption is inherited,
but a person may inherit a weakness
or tendency to that disease.
A prominent citizen OF Evansville,
Ind, writes: Il was Ill for five
months with pulmonary trouble, and
had the best Of doctors: I had hemorr-
hayes and was in a very bad way.
Through the advice of a friend I tried
Vinol, and I feel that 1t saved my
life. 1t is all you recommend it to
be. l believe 1t is the greatest medi-
cine on earth. I have advised others
to try vinol, and they have had the
same results" (Name furnished on
request.)
Vinol soothes and heals the inflamed
surfaces and allays the cough. Vinol
creates an appetite, strengthens the
digestive organs and gives the patient
strength to throw off incipient pulmo-
nary diseases.
Try a bottle Of Vinol with the un-
Outstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.
P. S. Stop scratching, our Sake
Salve stops itching, We guarantee it.

A Hot TaWa tor the Negro Craps Shooters

Last Thursday night the sheriff
and his deputies became thirsty
for Negro blood and proceeded 10
pick ont a house where they had
occasion to believe shat a big
''haul'' could be made and they
proceeded at midnight to the home
Of Carrie Blackwell, colored, in
one of the cottages opposite the
Southern express Office and near
the passenger station. As a result
of their raid nine people, eigh.
men and one woman, Carrie,
we're taken.
When the place was entered
there was q mighty scrambling of
feet, but the officers saw senough
to convince them that the crowd
were sitting in a circle on the floor
gambling, playing cards. When
the place was searched 20 packs
OF G. caiue were found hid among
the bed CLOTHES and in a real room
26 half pints of whiskey were
found. All of them we're arrest
ed and locked up for the night
They we're tried in the Rowan
county court Friday morning.
All nine of the defendants vera
convicted and the men we're SEN
fenced to 80 days each on the
gang while the woman was given
go days. Later 1t was agreed t,
let even of the men pay a fine OF
$40 each and costs. This FIVE of
them did Immediately. The other
man, who mad a pistol on hi.
person, and the woman will pro.
baby serve their tins.
From the above it would appear
that Rowan's sheriff evidently be
]ieves that he can make the Negroes
believe that he is Que of those 90.

such is the case when he il after
