COL WRITES OF C Ladies el' the Civic Club: ? The program part of the regular meetings of the Civic Club as publish ed in the Year Book, has lagged some what for the past severul dates, and for that reason, I ask your indulgence for introducing this afternoon a sub ject of my own, instead of the more excellent paper you doubtless expect ed. This paper is not intended for an official report, but is an effort to di vide with you, the pleasures you have made possible, for in the special hon ors that have fallen upon me recently, I feel that full and unreserved credit fflvan tr\ fho Piv\G Plllh_ RR auuuiu UQ 511VU tw VM? v. .. _ without the unfailing loyalty of its members, I would have blUBhed un seen and in total obscurity. In presenting to you this afternoon, an account of my trip West as a dele gate to the General Federation, I am but giving you what is rightfully your own, and I trust you will accept it as a small tribute to your love and devo tion. The Convention at San Francisco, was the meeting of the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs, which is held biennielly. It is composed of women's clubs from all over the world and represents the highest ideals of club movement. Its methods ure con servative, but carries inspiration for unselfish devotion to the purposes of advancing civilization. The member ship amounts to more than eight hun dred thousand women, and when you realize that you, and you, and I, are counted in that great census, we are Ihrilled with the scope of our oppor tunities. The departments of the General Fed eration are, Art, Civics, Civil Service Reform, Conservation, Education, j Household Economies, Industrial and Social Conditions, Literature and Li brary Extension, Legislation, and Mu sic. This is practically the organiza tion of our State Federation, and In a lesser degree the basis of our Civic Club culture program, making an un interrupted avenue from the fountain head to the individual club woman in Abbeville, which is an ideal condition. Under the heads of the various de partments, the development of the subject Includes many Questions you and I have scarcely heard of, and shows the long, long road we will have to travel to attain the high standard of our leaders. Most of the subjects were discussed by experts, and are supposed to be the last word in that particular line. Among the speakers were Mrs. John Theodore Tabor, Mrs. William Cum mino fitr?rv nhjirles PreBser. Laura Drake Gill, William Hard, Hector Al liot, and Baroness Bertha Von Sut tner. Some of the subjects discussed were, "The Merit System, and Muni cipal Government. Our Problems in Civilization, Vocational Guidance and its Application to Women, The Lar ger Significance of the School Hygiene Movement, Color Music and Eugenics. The Baroness Von Suttner is an Austrian, and when speaking from the platform, appeared in her full court regalia, diamond tiara, ermine, and veil. The meetings were*held daily in the Sutter Street Pavilion, a large hall, in a not particularly accessible part of the city, but which accomodated easi ly ten thousand people. The accredit ed delegation, numbered fifteen hun dred, and the large number of visiting club women, and the people of San Francisco, the ball was often full to Its capacity. The Pavilion was at one time a skating rink, but auditorium accom modations had been installed, and ev ery one was very comfortable. The roof was dome shaped, and decorated with festoons of more than a thousand Chinese lanterns, which shed a mel low light over an animated scene. The stage was large and beautifully decorated. For each evening exercise, the decorations were changed to suit the musical program. The musical programs were the most enjoyable feature of the Conven tion, and was an exhibition of the dif ferent styles of music. The Hawaiian music was sweetest, while the Indian music as presented by Mrs. Birming ham and Allan Dunn, en costume, was most dramatic. South Carolina delegates who atten ded the state convention at Abbeville in May, assured me, the singing of the Cnlifornia Choral Club could not com pare with our Music Club in its ren dition of the Pilgrims Chorus. It is very difficult to sing in a rarified at mosphere, and that may account for the comparison. In fact everything from bow-legs to a sneeze is attribut ed to the altitude out West. It would be Impossible for me to tell you all the Incidents of so large a convention, nor could I rehearse the various things that interested us, but I must not fail to tell you of the cli max to the whole occasion?the ejec tion of officers of the Federation. Even so long as months before the Bienniel, we had received letters tell ing us of the ability of certain candi dates; on board the special car from Atlanta, the Blogan was, "Who Is your candidate for President," one of the youngest ladies in the South Caro lina delegation, not understanding the question, replied, "It made no differ EY it Farm Paper .LIST 3 years, started im iree years. When we bill is just like you paid cash. ANK SOUTHERN RURAL i April 1st, 1913,1 will pay he understanding that I am tie subscription to that date. .D , State. ,eman California trip ence to her, but she supposed Wilsou" Even in the niidBt of our entranced admiration of the Arizona Grand Can yon, an active Texan, spoke enthusias tically for her candidate. We were de termined to get all the fun out of it possible, so would not commit our selves. In the Convention, the election was the one subject under constant dis cussion, and on the day when both candidates, Mrs. Percy Pennybacker, of Texas, and Mrs. Philip Carpenter, of New York, spoke from the platform upon the *arae subject, the hall could uaraij uoiu iu?i cruwu. If our State and National candidates could have seen the dignity and har mony, with which these two women appeared before this tremendous crowd, and spoke with absolutely no reference to anything but the subject they would surely blush with shame for their own unstateumanlike behav ior. Mrs. Pennybacker the successful candidate, won many votes at this time, and carried the crowd with her by her grace, enthusiasm, and good sound argument. She is a lovely wom an, magnetic and a natural born po litician. The day oi! the election, the dele gates were lined up for two blocks, for hours, but the best of humor pre vailed, and no ones dress was more than ruffled. The Australian system of voting was used, and is so easy and simple, I feel sure I could get accus tomed to it, IP, I had the chance. The women of California have Just received the right to vote, and the sub ject was much discussed in the Con vention. An attempt was made to in troduce a resolution recommending a National endorsement. I was very much interested in the subject, and asked many questions. The men who talked about It, express ed themselves as highly pleased. A lady from Colorado, where suffrage has been equal for a number of years, told me of the method used to edu cate their voters. In every school Civil Government is taught, in a practical way, each school being a municipality and the offices are held by both girls and bovs. Officers are elected, police appointed, and punishment dealt to offenders. This is all done by the chil dren, under the supervision* of the teachers, and besides improving the conduct in the schools, the children are being trained to citizenship. San Francisco, the city entertaining (' the Federation ia noted for its hospi- , ' tality, and wa9 not lacking in cour I tesy to the women. A number of de | lightful excursions were arranged for [ us. The most extensive being through the Santa Clara Valley, San Jose, (pronounced, Zan-o-zay,) San Mateo , ' Palo Alto, over to Oakland and Berk- ( ley where we were given a coffcert in. , I the Greek Theatre, and around San , Francisco in sight-seeing cars. At { every stop club women showered us with fruits and flowers, while military | bands played sweet music. The effects of the Are in 1908 is - still in evidence. Great Banks, stores , and business houses have been re- j built, and commerce prevails, but j block after block Is still in ruins. Ev ery other building is a hotel or an apartment house, and because of the competition, the rates are the most reasonable in the United States. Our home was the Van Dorn Hotel, a delightful place on the corner of Turk and Jones streetB. It is a solid steel and cement structure, and beau tifully furnished. Our two weeks stay there was madevery pleasant by the courtesy of the 'management, and the splendid service. San Francisco is equal to a scenic railway with its hills, and the trolley system, is absolutely without system. Even the motor conductors do not know how to make out a transfer. I | " >'>?* mrtrninc Irvine to eet O^CUt UUt " iiviv Uiw ? ,, o ? w_ out of Chinatown, where I had been Inadvertently dumped. The city has many attractions, but the one thing I could never tire of. Is that beautiful Golden Gate that traces a sun-glade of molten Are ever west ward. Mrs. McMillan and I, spent one enchanting afternoon waiting for sun set, and as long as memory fails not, we will treasure the recollection of ! the sun melting away through a pur ple haze, into the green waves of the I Pacific Ocean. j In taking this trans-continental trip our route gave us the opportunity of seeing a little of the principle cities West, and the novelty of eating break fast at Nashville, lunch in Evansville, dinner in St. Louis, getting lost in Kansas City, and sleeping through a part of the Ariiona desert was by no means a minor part of our pleasures. Los Angelea waB without question the most beautiful city we saw and to tell only of the flowers, would require greater descriptive powers than 1 possess. ?* ? Ti.U ine lovejy nomes, nauau vmao, parks and driveways were magnifi cent. The Buach Park, established by Adolphus Busch, is a paradise of Sow ers. Made in five years on a built up waste land, is typical of what money can do. The land-scape gardener was a native Californian, and at that time unknown. So ideal is this city, I have resolved positively, my second hus band must live in Los Angeles. From Lob Angeles we visited the Catalina Islands. This trip took us forty-seven miles on the real ocean, and the eftecta on the majority of the excursionists, was a great unsettling of purpose, literally "everybody was doin' it." The sub-marine gardens, a curious and unusual growth of sea weed which can be seen even at a depth of sixty feet through glass bottomed boats, is the chief attraction at Catalina. At Los Angeles we saw the famous painting by Millet, "The Angelus," bought in Paris recently by the Loom is Bros, for seventy-five thousand dol lars. This picture hangs in the Hotel Angelus, and many people visit me gallery daily. At the close of the Convention, we made the return trip by the northern route, to visit the Yellowstone Park. Xo word3 of mine can begin to des cribe the granduer of this wonderful place, and I shall not attempt it, for my audience might tell me as Mr. Mc Millan did, when we said we were afraid by some trick of memory we would forget to tell about some of the things we had seen, he replied "He was more concerned about the truth of what we had already told." When I tell you of the marvelous coloring of the Canyon, with its pink, brown, red, and purple strata; of the Yellowstone River, with Its green cas cades falling three hundred feet, cast ing foam and spray to catch a perfect rainbow in its mist; tell you that the Geyser Basiu is an inferno with its boiling springs, Fire-hole river, and hellish "formation;" that the Roaring Mountain, the Hoo-doos, and pair.t pots, makt; you dream of the "bad place;" that the wild bears prowl openly in the woods, deer lie tranquil .... iy by thn roadside, buffaloes graz? in J the valleys; and that we wore our winter clothes while our faces were being blistered by the sun, I am aware you doubt it, a* a possibility. Wo wont through the Park, "Wylie Way," which is the only way to 3ee everything. The camps are permanent, and arranged so that ample time is given to see the points of interest, and yet so systematized that no time is lost. The trip is made by stage-coaeh, and is comfortable and pleasant. The drivers, as well as all other help, are composed of college boys and girls. This adds very much to the enjoyment The young man driving our coach, is a senior in the Idaho State Univer sity, and is a splendid looking fellow. In our party were two young girls, sixteen and seventeen years old, a widow and an old-maid. The young man evidently tried to follow official instructions, to make his party have a good time, and use his own methods, but on the last day he told me conii dontially he would rather drive a hack full of men through the Park, as there wasn't so much "durned jealousy." Mr. Watts was a careful driver, which can only be appreciated when you are hanging on by your eye-lido over a precipice a thousand feet deep and four horses running to keep from being run over by the coach. The expense of making the tour through Yellowstone Park, consider ing the time, object and service, is most reasonable. The ticket, Wylie Way, from Yellowstone station, is forty dollars for a six days trip. After entering the Park, you are "et and slept," earned from station to station, with nothing to do but look, and the sight of "Old Faithful" the most per fect and interesting geyser in the it-- ?1-~1~ rrVi;? world, 16 worm me wuuie tuy. xmo gigantic geyser plays with the regu larity of a Waltham watch, and in vites more speculation as to its age, character, and meaning, than any ot her natural curiosity of the Park. We saw this magnificent solfatara to the best advantage, both in the sun light, and at night by a tremendous searchlight, which brought out the un earthly beauty of Its vapor effect. The party visiting the geyser was one of the largest ever present at one time. Around the camp-fire thirty-six States answered to the roll-call, be sides representatives from several foreign countries, South Carolina an a " n?hl1a. tn crivp In swereu wuu umo, 0..? cal color to the response of one lone man from Utah, three of the largest, beut looking ladies followed him. The Park ia patroled by United States soldiers, and the rules and reg ulations are rigidly enforced. The pen alty for misdemeanor is to be "walked out:," which means, guarded by sol diers on horseback, you are made to walk to the boundary line. A man was walked-out the day before we went in, for trotting his horses across a bridge Leaving the Park, we visited Salt Lake City, and took a bath in the Great Salt Lake. This is the usual it enerary, and is very refreshing after the dust of Yellowstone. The Govern ment did not appropriate any money this year for sprinkling the roads, UAtiAllnaf rlioorrraadltlo WHICH III it ll e a uaiciiug uioue-vv.?.., because of the alkali dust. Salt Lake City Is the only place West, where we saw the slightest ob servance of the Sabbath. Building, farming, buying and selling, goes on lust the same, except in this Mormon :ity. I I cannot close this account of the West, without mention of my visit to 3t. Louis, where I not only met the ; men at the head of the celebrated Hamilton, Brown, Shoe, Company, but < visited the factories where excellance Df workmanship in all departments, is i response to the motto, "Keep the Quality Up." I have always worn shoes with little thought of their con struction, and many complaints at iheir cost, but after seeing the machin >rv used, and the skilled labor neces- 1 sary for every stage of development, from uncut leather to eyelets, I feel aow that I am wearing time, life, i brains and money on my feet. Mr. tfaile, the Mexico salesman, was in sur opinion the best looking man we saw abroad. We also visited the shirt factory of Ferguson, McKinney and Company, where is made the ready-to-wear gowns, petticoats, etc., which we buy every day. So clean, cool and comfort able is this place and so refined and happy the girls, we can wear these ar ticles now with absolute denial of the 3weat-shop theory of their making. In all this long journey, after we passed the Mississippi river we saw only one person we knew, and that was Frank Sign, at San Francisco. We were the first South Carolinians he had seen since he left Abbeville eight years ago, that the pleasure was mu tual, can be imagined. Frunk has re cently married, and is prosperous and UlUJpjr'. Coming home I paid a short visit to my brother, R. G. Hemphill, of Monte Vista, Colorado. He also has taken un to himself a wife and looks well and bappy. Monte Vista is a small town, but a splendid place for observation of ir rigation methods, which is Bob's work. Irrigation takes the place of chick ens in neighborhood quarrels in that country, and it is not an unasual thing for a neighbor to turn 011 the water to water the yard and garden, and forget to turn it off, thereby fil ling your premises with the overflow. This makes you positively murderous. While in Monta Vista, I went to Robinson's Yankee circus, which show ed in a tent pitched air-dome style, in the Rio Grande Valley and surround ed by the beautiful Sangre de Christo mountains. These mountains are call ed The Blood of Christ, because of the crimson hue assumed at sunset. The entire west is an uriists dream of color, but the best of all i.i the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Of the Can yon, Charles Lummis sr.ys: "Ii. trying to fix a standard of con.p&rison for the Grand Canyon I fancy no standard is adjustable to the human mind. You may compare all you vviil, eloquently and from wide expcrienit and at last all similes fail. The Grand Ca;.you is just the Grand Canyon, anl :hai is all you can say. I have never on anyone who was prepared for it. 1 have seen people rave over It; better people struck dumb with it; even strong men cry over it; but I have never yet seen the man or woman that expected it." The Canyon is two hundred and seventeen miles in length, and is caused by water erosion. The strata, composed of black gneiss, slate, quart zite, sandstone and sometimes marble,' has made it a geological wonder, as well as the most stupendous scenic phenomena in the world. My own impression, offered with apologies, is; In the beginning the Canyon was the Creators work-shop, and the chips, shavings and debris from the making of all the glories of the Universe are there, from the pas tel shades of twilight and the splen dor of the rising sun, to the discarded models of celestial cities. A great desire to express the awe you feel struggles in every breast, so you can imagine our horror and dis - tt:*' 1 > -v w"." guar nn seeing ono good old slater, sitting on the cement balustrade pro tecting the rim, at El Tovar Hotel, calmly doing?tatting! ! The day we spent at the Canyon, a prospector with his assistants had just returned rrom an exploration, bringing with them nine little burros. 1 he burros grow wild there and it was tantalizing, to have one offered me so far from home. I thought of Jim and Fred and Bill Greene, and knew how pleased they would be with such a gift and how enhanced would be my triumphal return. An incident occurred while at the Canyon, having the elements of trage dy in it, and some of its features pro duced a profound impression on me. Two ladies of the Georgia delegation, strolled off in the direction of Yavapia Point about dusk, and not ' returning Dy nine o ciock, causea consiuerauie excitement among their friends. These fp;irs were not without foundation, for people are frequently lost and a guard of Hopl Indian runners are constantly on duty. The Georgia ladles were ad vised to report the matter to the of fice at once, and their doing so, is what has caused a new crop of grey iiairs on my youthful head. Mrs. McMillan, Mary Perrin, Mrs. Graman and I, were sitting on the rim of the Canyon, speechless with awe, trying by time exposure, to photo graph on our memory forever, the scene before us, when simultaneously with the notification of the absence of these people, the "lost person," alarm was given, and to the call of a sobbing shrieking siren whistle, moccasined footed Indians, seem to spring like magic out of the ground, and disap pear like ghosts into the numberless chasms of the Canyon. Seeing this by the wierd light of the moon, our nerves had no chance at all, and I all but succumbed to hysterics. +Viaho-Vi + loto Honort-pH win, aa w c uiuiifciii- ?uiv u.,,m..wv., friends, were within a stones thrqw, in a small curio shop and came out to see who was lost. The alarm would have been continued incessantly, un til the ladies were found, and the In dians would have searched for days, or as long as that awful cry went ringing over the mountains. This concludes my narative, and I hope I have not bored you with its length, nor yet failed to give you in some small degree an idea of the at tractions of that part of our country called, "The Golden West." Hannah Hemphill Coleman. In a letter published In the Key stone, Mrs. W. B. Burney, ex-president South Carolina Federation had the fol lowing to say of Mrs. Coleman: "Mrs. Coleman has represented South Carolina with dignity and abili ty. On presidents' evening she was beautifully eowned and made her lit tie speech in a clear, strong voice and with perfect ease and grace. All of our Southern delegates applauded her." Mill News.

Live well within your income. - Save a little f^.' the rainy day. Eat moderately, chiefly on fruits and vegetables. Eschew meats as far as pos sible and drink plenty of water. Use wine only for your stomach's sake. Smoke a little if you feel you must. Be an optimist. Love your neighbor as yourself. Vf?n.r find. This is all very good advice for others to follow, but the real secret of Gen. Graves' longevity may be described in three words ?John Temple Graves. Yes, the sweet singer is the son of the general, the apple of his eye, and the inspiration for perpet ual youth. Gen. Graves graduated from the Univer sity of Georgia 71 years ago?and that's a whole life time. Ho was colonel of the 51st Georgia regiment and served throughout the War of Secession. It was while living in Abbeville county, S. C., that his son, the sweet harpist of the Hearst newspapers, was born. And like Jesse, the father of that sweet singer who soothed the pas sionate heart of Saul, Gen. Graves has lived to see his illustrious son close to the throne of Hearst, for as Saul and David mofo />Amn nf nna frlhn an hftVfl TTaArflt. and Graves come through ancestry, near or remote, from the historic county of Abbeville.

To my friends in Abbeville County who supported me so loyally I desire to return my sincere thanks. I made my fight from principle, and although defeated, I am not cast down. I expect to continue my work in the future, as I have in the past, for what I consider is fofr the best interests of all our people.
