Walter Allen yester day afternoon, lt was decided to call a general meeting of the federation for 4:30 Friday afternoon In th?? cham ber or commerce rooms, che naur hav ing been changed from 5, as was first stated. At this meeting several impor. tant matters will be taken up, among them the plans for a movement to wear cotton goods manufactured In tho United Slates. At this meeting all members of the Kennedy Library As sociation, The Teacups, Kate Barry and Cowpens chapters of thc Daugh ters of the Revolution, Woman's Music Club, Florence Crlttendon Circle, Health League and Y. M. C. A. aux iliary are expected to be present. Mrs. Allon urged especially that club wo men remember that they are members of the federation as well as their own special c?ubB. Several interesting ideas were brought out in discussion with va rious club members. One woman re. called the remark of a former mill president of 3partanburg, who said that a great deal of the cotton goods manufactured in Spartanburg county was sold in China, and that whenevr the Chinese took a notion to lengthen their shirt-tails even one inch, it meant millions to Spartanburg coun ty, "and what," she went on to add, "would it mean, if the women would decide to wear two petticoats, or even one substantial cotton affair?" Another pertinent remark was to j the effort that the notional health j league was looking after the pure food interest!, of tho country, and why ihnuld not there he a movement for ?anitary clothing, which would mean the wearing of wash white clothes to a much greater extent than is done now. Several women showed their enthu siasm by wearing drosses of Spartan burg mado material. The movement IR. however, not so much to boost Spartanburg mills, as to encouruge the waring of American-made goods in preference to foreign-made goods. -Spartanburg Journal. Prultt-Wofford.
