troll In America cannot help but
realize that II Is not 80 much a

declared at her home here today
that she is succeeding the late

Mrs. FELTON, reminds one of
the old fashioned mother por.
trayed on the American stage OF
today. Her hair is as white as
snow and her face wrinkled, but
despite her age she Is very &C.

known throughout the South,
talks as fluently as she writes
and does not hesitate to express
her views on important issues
OF the day.
Senator FELTON, declared that
the legislation that this country
most needs today is that gained
