The U. D. C'S HOLD
MONTHLY MEETING
WAS FEATURED BY SPLENDID
PROGRAM. WAREHOUSMEN
DONATE SIP TO CHAPTER.

The well attended meeting of
Mary Brantley Chapter, U. D. c., at
the Log Cabin club house Friday af-
ternoon, Mrs. T. B. Raines presiding,
was a busy session with plans for
war relief work to meet emergencies.
The Children of the Confederacy
opened the meeting with a catchy
little song, Three Little Sisters, Red,
White and Blue" The other num-
oers on the program were papers by
Mrs. j. II. Whitchard and Mrs. ]. D..
weaver, a study of secession with
special reference to the South's posi-
tlon IN the war between the states.
The papers showed careful prepare
ton and held the deep interest of
the audience.
A matter of special interest was
the report of Mrs F. M. McNulty,
chairman of finance committee, who
stated that the warehOusemen of the
county had contributed S112.1O to
the chapter as a free will offering,
thus relieving the committee of any
efforts towards raising funds. The
thanks of the body were extended
the generous donors as we'll as the en-
terprising chairman.
The president announced that knit
ted comforts had been donated to
individual soldiers. She urged that
the members cooperate with the
workers at the Red Cross room in
the making of garments to supply
the urgent needs. By special permits
sion from headquarters all of these
supplies will for the present be sent
to Camp Wheeler Mrs. ]. NJ. Griggs
made a strong plea for donations of
material for pajama suits for the hos
pltal at Camp Wheeler and a gener
Gus response was made, the material
and the workers being ready in short
order for making up box which
was forwarded yesterday. Instead of
the usual Christmas sale the chapter
will in December have a hospital
shower of linen for hospital needs.
The delegates reports, to which
all had looked forward with pleasure.
was postponed until December meet
ing, as Mrs. w. H. Gurr was unavoid-
ably absent.

The DAWSON WOMAN'S CLUB
IS ACTIVE IN GOOD WORK
Has Made Payment on Liberty Bond,
and Is Now Engaged in Pro.
noting Conservation.

The Dawson Woman's Club, under
the direction of the president, Mrs.
Guy Chappell, and the chairman, Mrs.
W. II. Gurr, has the past year done
some very practical and worth while
work along the line of home econom-
les and conservation which has been
of far-reaching good, not only to the
members of the club, but out of these
weekly meetings has gone an infu-
ence of benefit to the entire county.
as well as being helpful to other
clubs of the district and state.
The members could render no more
patriotic service to their government
just at this time than the gaining of
information by which they may put
into practice the best methods for
conservation, for which there comes
such urgent appeals. AS one of the
members expressed it, eve are put
ting into practice what we have
learned. We are not only doing our
bit, but we are doing our best that
our own soldiers and our allies NAV
be properly fed" The members have
been very active in getting the food
conservation pledge cards signed, and
1T is the hope of the club that every
housewife shall not only talk meat
less days and wheatless days, but
make them a reality. Payment on a
liberty bond has already been made.
The Dawson Woman's Club stands
for all that is uplifting and ennobling
and is strong factor in making the
city and county better place in
which to live. The organization is
composed of large number of our
brainiest and most representative
women.

Judge Mathews Renders a Decision in
Case That Involves the Most Re-
cent Prohibition Law.

cent Prohibition Law.
Judge H. A. Mathews has rendered
decision in Bibb superior court in
case similar to several at Dawson,
and perhaps in every county in the
state.
The decision enjoins the solicitor
of the city court of Macon from con-
demning for sale an automobile be-
longing to ]. H. Atwell, and Atwell
is permitted to be heard upon the
merits of his claim by a superior
court jury.
The case is one of statewide i'm
portance as it in a few particulars
questions the constitutionaiity of the
new prohibition law, which permits
officers to seize an automobile in
which whisky has been found and sell
it. Eventually the litigation will
reach the supreme court and that
tribunal will have to decide whether
it is constitutional for officers to sell
a car in which whisky was found, re-

MRS. CHAPPELL MADE
INTERESTING REPORT
PRESIDENT TOLD OF ACHIEVE
MENTS OF WOMAN'S CLUBS
IN THE THIRD DISTRICT.

The following interesting report,
reviewing a years work, was made
by the Third district president, Mrs.
Guy Chappell, at the recent Fedora
ton meeting in Augusta. Mrs. Chap
pell is also the active and efficient
president of the Dawson Woman's
club:
Progress and achievement may
well be the watch words OF the Third
district, and we have long since real
lied that we must be up and doing
or we will be left behind in the march
OF progress, which is quickening its
step daily; and we are not content
to be in the rear ranks, but intend
TO be on the firing line of achieve
ment. 1t seems to me that there is
hardly single phase of work which
Is for the uplift and betterment of
mankind to which we have not con-
tributed, either with our time, energy
or money.
''In our district we have twenty
clubs, nearly every one reporting
great things being accomplished. Of
course, we have given Red Cross the
right of way, and can truly boast of
the work done along this line We,
as individuals and district, have
gone to the work rooms, have donat-
ed money from club treasures, have
given the use of our club houses, and
many Red Cross chapters have been
organized from and by our club men,
bers. However, we would not feel
that we had done our patriotic duty
had we not realized the Importance
of home economics and conservation;
so we are informing ourselves in
telllgently along these lines; one club
Is making a two-year study of this
subject, and wonderful results are
being accomplished. Another club
reports having put domestic science
and art in their school, equipping
the room and paying an instructor.
In our county a home economics
teacher has been secured for the
county through the efforts of the
club women.
Thousands upon thousands of
cans of fruits and vegetables have
been canned and preserved in our
district.
But in our enthusiasm for this
work we have not forgotten that our
civic, health and educational work
must not lag, and we have done great
things along these lines.
I'm summing up our activities |
would say we have bought and sold
liberty bonds; we have guaranteed
and co-operated in securing chautau-
quas; we have donated valuable books
to our libraries, sent books valued at
hundreds of dollars to be distributed
to the cantOnments; we have held
canning demonstrations, and sent a
large number of cans of fruits and
vegetables to Tallulah. One club saw
ed a mother and baby with their
tuberculosis fund.
eve have secured and given schol-
arships, made a loan from students
and for worthy girl, and have con-
tributed literally to Tallulah and
students aid fund. Agricultural raj
lies have been held, play grounds
equipped, and in fact we have lent a
hand wherever needed. Thousands of
dollars have been handled by us, and
every dollar put into a channel where
it would do good.
and now, if there is anything
else worth doing we have done that,
too, and with the enthusiastic wo-
men in our district we intend to do
even greater things next year"
