FORT CAPTURED - "By this
time the federals were inside the
Fort, and they fought for four
hours hand to hand, when they
overpowered the confederates,"
Robbins continued in his account.
Only one company held out. That
was Captain Mund's who took Col.
Lamb on a litter and %retreated a
mile and a half to the river where
they planned 10 ross However,
the barges we're missing and they
were forced to surrender also.
Col. Lamb shouted to Mayo. his
courier, who was following the re-
treat across the river, to take his
wife and children Iamb's) who
we're staying with Mrs. Enoch
ROBBINS, to Fort Anderson. From
there they were to go to Whining
ton.
DEATH OF FEDERALS- 1.-THE
Federals were thirsty, and in hunt
ing for whisky, they entered a
dark magazine and struck a match
to look around and exploded the
magazine, blowing 100 of them to
atolns,' Robbins wrote.
While some Of the Union troops
were killing themselves about Is
vessles anchored opposite the plan
tation of Mrs. Robbins and Mrs.
Sallie Reaves. Some of the soldiers
came ashore and hunted sheep.
OCCUPATION HARDSHIPS -
From the time Fort Fisher was
captured life on the plantation be-
came hard. Robbins wrote that he
and Mrs. Robbins and the others
lived on oysters. After about three
weeks Mrs. Robbins crossed the
river to the Fort and took the oath
Of allegiance to the United States
government. For punishment Tor
holding out SO long the rations al
lotted to them were picked pork,
bean coffee and hard tack.
On one occasion when Robbins
and three other boys went after
fireWood they yer shel.ed by a
federal gunboat.
Robbins occount OF the battle
ended with a plea to "perpetuate
this battle to our children's chill
dren as the greatest battle in the
worlds history"

meeting of the ITALIAN group last
night by Jimmy Mccoy, who
spoke in behalf of Thomas Wright,
the instigator of the survey.
Wright took a personal interest
in tn. restoration of the building

HISTORY OF WOMEKS
CLUBS IS RECOUNTEO

An interesting paper, "The Story
of Women's Clubs" was given Mon
day afternoon by Mrs. Marion
Crawford at a meeting of the Lau-
rel Women's club at the home of
Mrs. S. S. Bliss.
The story recounted that early IN
1868 the Press club of New York
gave a dinner honoring Charles
Dickens. Mrs. j. C.. (Jennie June)
Croly, Alice and Phoebe Carey and
other newspaper women sought ad-
mittance and were told that women
were not wanted. Thereupon Mrs.
Croly in March 1868 organized a
club of her own, composed entirely
of Thus Sorosis was born.
Sorosis survived, despite predic-
tions to the contrary, and at its
twenty-first birthday, March 1920,
1889, had guests from 10 states,
representing 81 clubs. Mrs. Clymer,
president, in the closing words of
her welcoming address gave the
general federation it's motto: "We
look for unity, unity in diversity"
Today's headquarters in Washing
ton, D. c., has served more than
20 years as a nucleus of worldwide
club activity. The historic gray
stone mansion was built in 1875 by
Admiral Radford and was later pur-
chased and presented by admirers to
Gen. Nelson A. Miles of Indian and
Spanish war fame. miles City,
Mont, is named for General Miles,
who campaigned in Montana Terri
tory in the 1870's.)
Prior to 1922 the federation was
inadequately housed in two rooms of
a downtown office building with
two girls in charge. Mrs. Thomas
G. Winter, soon after her election
in 1920, started a campaign for
suitable headquarters; contributions
poured in, and at the Chatauqua
biennial more than 100000 was
pledged in As minutes. The prop
erty, now paid for and fully equip
ped, cost $4,000 and is valued at
more than $125,OOO. The 25-room
house is five stories in height.
The library consists of approx
mately 5000 volumes donated by
state declarations, individual clubs,
interested persons, authors and pub
fishers. The Julia Ward Howe
drawing room was furnished by the
Massachusetts federation. The din
ing room was furnished in honor of
Mrs. Winter by contribution from
all parts of the country.
Membership consists Of about 49,
500 clubs in three-fourths of the
counties of the United States, 81
in 80 foreign countries and U. s..
territories, so state declarations al
aska and the District of Columbia
included), and 20 affiliated organ
izations and national clubs. The
total membership is more than p
500, 1000 women, including $4,000
junior club women.
