CLUBDOM
DELEGATES RETURN FROM
U. D, C. STATE CONVENTION


The delegates from the local chapters,
United Daughters of the ConfederaCy,
to the state convention held in jackson,
Tenn, have returned and are enthusi-
astic in their praise of the manner in
which they were entertained. Their
way was strewn with flowers, a perfect
bower OF spring blossoms surrounding
them on all occasions and the lavish
hospitality of the Jackson Daughters
will long remain pleasant memory.
Two Memphians who were not pres
ent were honored by the convention,
Mrs. John i. Kline being elected reg
istrar, requiring greater efficiency than
any other state officer, and Mrs. Nir-
ginia Frazer Boyle, poet laureate, both
by most complimentary vote.
One of the most popular delegates
was Mrs. Percy Patton, who won the
hearts of everyone at the convention,
and brought back a most substantial
testimonial of her popularity in the
sum raised by her for the Admiral Ra
phael Semmes memorial scholarship. her
request for contributions from those in
terested being followed by regular
shower of money. This scholarship is
one of the three hero memorials in the
form of scholarships to the University
of Tennessee, for which funds are being
raised by the Tennessee u. D. c., the
other two memorials being the Gen.
William B. Bates and the Gen. Felix
Zollikoffer scholarships.
An accident in which several of the
delegates from the Mary Latham chap
ter including the president, Mrs. Kelly,
were fortunate in escaping without in
jury, occurred at a tea given at the
Jackson Country club. An automobile
in which delegates were seated rolled
down a steep embanliment it's progress
being stopped by large tree, thus in
all probability saving the lives of those
in the car. In the subsequent excite
ment another delegate, from another
point in the state, had her fingers
crushed in door and tainted, and still
another slipped upon the waxed floor
and dislocated her hip, all three acct
dents occurring within 20 minutes.
Among the delegates who have re-
turned after attending the convention
are Mines w. G. Schwalmeyer, F. f.
Shores, S. S. Deem, II. B. Shanks, NJ.
