Tho third annual convention of the Federation of Women's Clubs of South Carolina was hold in Charleston last week A largo delegation was in attend ?meo from tho thirty-one chilis in the Mate. WO UK ol 'NIK I'KDKItATIOX. Comparatively low people realizo the scope and importance of tho work tho Federation undortakes to do. As an illustration of ignorance along this line, the following conversation is given. Tho conversation took placo between Mrs. M. W. Coleman and a gentleman on a .south bound train Monday afternoon: "What will bo tho outcome of this thing'.'" Mis. Coleman was asked. She re)died that she was not an oracle ami could not answer. "Well, don't you think it will ho-ob it will bc -ch - " "Suffrage'.' 1 know just what you mean," interrupted Mrs. Coleman. She said thc F?d?ration had no luton (ion of the kind, but it would help tho women in caso tho sn tirage was thrust upon thom. M Its. < OI.KM A X's SKUVIC I'.s. In speaking of tho organization of the Federation the News and Courier says: "Mrs. Coleman is a reniai kable woman ami possesses a winning and sweet per sonality. She has executive ability, tho power of slating facts in a business way, Iud withal is as gentle, as kind and con siderate, as any woman could wish lotto, she has been tho life ol' tho Fcdoiatioil, and thc ?dub women ol' ibo State will ingly admit it. To her capable hands fell Ibo dlllicull initial leadership of the federal ion. lier conduct ol' thc oftico during thc li rsl trying year justified her' selection, and at, Chester, last .lune, she ? was re-olectetl hy a large majority. The j terms of thc constitution prevent her j serving another year, 'and on Friday next a successor will ho chosen. Mrs. Coleman retires with the regret ami lovo ni her constituency and with their jul miriug recognition of'her splendid record of woi k accomplished. "li was iu .lune of ISOS, nt tho moment when, at Denver, a Southern woman was receiving the highest ?dub honor within the gifl ol' her sister club women, that1 in thc bl tlc town of Seneca, in the moun tains of South Carolina, tho F?deration of ibo I'al motto Slate was springing up into life. Thc call came from the "OllCO a Week" club, of Seneca, and was re sponded to by lift OOH other (dubs in the Male. From this initial sixteen the ros ier has grown to thirty-one.

The establishment of free kindergartens in factory districts and neglected locali ties is another co-operative work under process of organization by tho Federa tion. Tlie (irst ami only report of the morn ing was that on library extension. The need for traveling library work was Hitit recognized, and that committee of the Federation has already established seve ral of these freo libraries, receiving val uable aili from one of tho largest rail road corporations of tho State. Tilia corporation is the Southern and the Federation yesterday voted thanks for the donation of twelve portable book cases and freo transportation over any of its lines. Th080 travelling libraries are to be sent to a point where they are de sired and it can be seen what a help this free transportation will mean. Dr. D. F. Wilson, President of Con verse College, delivered an address be fore the F?deration on Thursday even ing. On Friday Miss Christie Poppcnlioilll, of Audubon Society, spoke a word for thc birds: lt seemed to me most titting that at this Convention, where the representa tive women of the Stale aro assembled together, a word in behalf of tho birds should be spoken. Peni'" vi vania was the originator of the Ami .bon ocioty and New Jersey, Now Yo k, Wisconsin, Con necticut, District of Columbia ai. 1 Illi nois followed her lead. The complaint has been made thal the Sont bern States ?lo not co-operate with these States, in consequence of which the hirds in their migrations South aro de stroyed. This, as can bo semi, docs away with thc good effects of the work done in the Northern States. Feeling tho need of co-operation in this matter tho South Carolina Audubon So ciety was organized in January, 1000, with a membership of thirty-live, which lins increased loone lt tl nd rod. Its pur pose is tho suppression of tho use of birds is ornaments. F.spcoially do wo oppose the use of tlu aigrette, which represents so nundi dc sli net ion of life. I think if we all re?d ized that to supply thc demand for ai grettes, Ihi* plumes arc plucked from tin lead and dying birds, ami the carcasses >ast aside, while tho young birds arc left, bo starve to death in the nest, Hiere would bo no furthci demand for them. The South Carolina Audubon Society lias no dues and only one meeting ; ?car. Tho only way lo pi J vont this ruthless daughter ol' our birds is to discourage Hie fashion now in vogue. There is m .xciise for shooting tho second class o ?irds, as their value as millinery orna neills is far less than their value as in iee! destroyers. Tho birds protect tlu armer, they work for him more faith idly and continuously than any otb Ci iclpor he <'an get. Let t he farmer rccog li/.e this and in turn Iel him protect tin lillis. We would have joined Hie federal io! mig ago, but as wo have men and womoi II our Society WO arc debarred from mein lorsllip.

At a recent session of tho Alabama Compress Association tho comparativo advantages and disadvantages of tho square and round cotton halo woro dis cussed. It was demonstrated by statis tics that tlioro has boon n marked im provement in the square halo mothod. It was shown that tho advantago de rived from obtaining moro uniform bales and for Improving tho quality of the compressing has not only incroased the loading of ears, but has also increased the carrying capacity of steamships, re sulting in a very marked decrease in Ibo ocean freight rates, thereby enabling (lie buyers of cotton to pay a correspond ingly high price to tho farmers. The agitation of tho comparative ad vantages of tho square halo over the round bale assumed such widespread im portance as to have induced tho com press i li to rcs ts of tho South to have a representative in the person of M. H. Hamilton visit the. loading spinners of America and Kurope for tho purpose of observing tho manner in w h toll tho two packages have heirn received and woiked by the. .spinners. Mr. Hamilton recently returned from his trip, and was present at tho session. He addressed tho con vention regarding his observations as fol lows: "Mr. President and QoiltloniOU: i as sume you havo seen copies of my reports from New Kngland and Europe sent you by Mr. Hanson in circular form. There fore, I shall not go into detail, hut touch only l?i*"Hy on tho subject and main facts willi ' hoar upon tho work now be fore you. i nn my experience and ob servation I conclude: "1. That a well covered and tied uni form si/o square! halo will bo at all timos preferred by the consumer to any cylin drical paokago yet known. Why? Be cause it stores bolter in a ship; salvago is greater in a lire ; it does not mat and cake; is open lo competition, and, in thc end, the most economical package. "\t. Cotton coniprcssod direct from tho gin Hue in au ordinary ?lamp year, when thi! vegetable moisture is retained in tho libro, oannot give satisfact ion at tho milli bocnuse of matting and caking, causing' trouble in optming, clogging in tho balo breaker, licking ami resulting in loss to tim spinner. ":!. Tho claims made by Ibo round bale companies that their package would bring higher price than the square halo in Kuropoan markets, afford a bolter lire risk, ot?!., havo proven utterly fallaceous. "Prices-I make the assertion that in most instances round bales havo sohl in Kurope at ligures under current prices for square bales. "Actual Pires-At a tiro in Liverpool, in w hich there woro American rotindlnp and square bales, results proved that, the salvage on tho square bali! was greatly in excess of that, on the round package. "The trado has generally como to tho conclusion that there is no reel merit in the cylindrical bale. Many spinners have given both tho Lowry and American Col ton Company's bales au impartial trial, showing by tho purchase of Ibo halo no pref lld ico in tho matter, and th?! great majority woro not satisfied, and say they will not, USO round bales; however, this makes no diffcroiico, provided you do not improve tho condition of your square hales, and the round bale companies aro allowed to monopolize Hu- ginning busi ness in certain sections, and give to the trade enough round bales t?> olVoot con sumption, then spinnors will b?! forced 10 buy their colton whether they profor 11 or not.*' In aim ?st o vor y neighborhood Iber?! is som?! on?! whose lifo has boon saveil by Chamberlain's Collo, Cholera and Diar rhoen Itomody. or who has boon 0111*0(1 of chronic diarrluoa by tho uso of that medicine. .Such persons make a point of (?'liing of it whonovor opportunity oilers, hoping that it may bi! tho moans of saving other lives.
