"Well, well," say my good friends. "3ack fromn Columbia?" "llow's the convention?" "Fine as a fiddle," say 1. "Whats up?" "Yeah, I know. But the women-" "Farm bloc was up too" "Oh sure! 'But tell me. .How (lid the women behave?" The women! So that 'xas it! Peonle wanted to know just about our new citizens, whether they overran the convention, whether they kept silent as admonished by the good Saint Paul, whether they had bobbed hair and sur reptitiously indulged in chewing gum or sat peering behind scholarly spec tacles and talked of the unknown quantity in politics. The soldiers' holius and the farm 'blot were Inter esting, but could nyait-the women now! Whereupon my13' en1(luirer and I usually sat ourselves down then and there and talked about this new fem inine element which has come silently but surely in the .,olitical life of our state and nation. But lot mc start at the beginning. WVhen the annoulncenent came from the county convention that I had been selected a delegate for the state con vention. my mind flew back to the ex pressed wish of my mother that she might some (lay participate in the politics of her state. "Aunt Kate," hlow she -would have arisen to days like these! She was the first suffra Oist I ever knew and the finest. -er home and personal life 'was a direct contradiction to all the pitfalls pre lcted by those not in sympathy with the liartlclpationl of women in public life and had she been living today she would have had my place at the con rention and filled it better than I outld ever hoje to do. It, therefore, seemd to mie, as 1we set oulr faces to ward Columbia on Tuesday'morning, that unseen delegates-my mother and All the other women who dared to baick women suffrage lin its unpopular ity, sat beside us5, delegates represen Lative of the honesty, of the earnest tiess and purity of purpose that women Dverywhere are bringing twith them into theIr new duties of suffrage. Two ther..onn, rgpresenting the flue type of womanhood of Iaurens county, Mrs. R. L. Gray and .Mrs. Alvin Curry, of Gray Court, and our genial repre sentative Mr. Carol Nance, of Cross Hill, our automobile host, and a fine one, made up the party. It was the complaint of the women of one delegation, that their men had done all in their Ipower to make them uncomfortable, and It was with great compmlacncy that I colifortedI her and Invited her to move up to Laurens county 'where tihe men gave us sqiuar'e dteals! Mr. Nance did everything iln his powver, as did our1 other' delegates, Dr. Douglas, Dr. Aliller and Gov. Coo 1)01, to make our dlebult inito politics easy, eveni going the second( mile to see that thle two commllittee pllaces of this county we're given to women, tile pilaces 0on the rules conmmittee going to Miss Kate V. Wofford, and the one on latformn to MIss WiI Lou' Gray. Tile openling 'hour of the conv'ention, tO the surprise of everyone, includling the weather man, broke blight and clear, a happy omen of tile good demo cratic fellowshi~p to follow. Arriving at the capitol and the convention hall, I found it already comfortably full, andl the air buzzing with the pleasant hum of' political bees in the different boninets scattered over the hall. Pla card(s with the names of tihe different countIes studded thle hall and under' neath these placards sat the delegates -the men and the women! Thirty five of the latter, and not a bobbed head of hai' among them! Intelligent looking, intelligent thinking, and in telligent talking, they 'were marked, though candor makes me confess that complaratively little talking was done by tihe womnen, which may 01' may not give you, dear reader, food for thought! The attitude of the women of the con vention was one .of frankly wanting to learn, of our open announcement of ignorance of things political, but an overwhelming eagerness to .be in formed and tried and deolared 'worthy. A woman from Marion, Miss Nellie Pallerbe, was elected one of the secre taries, and sat on the platform during the meeting, Following the good, sug lestionls of the Greenville Piedmon't tnd thle -suggestions of her many Lau rolns frJnds, Miss WVil Lou Gray was iominated by the Laurens, delegation ~or. .temporary Thalrman, andi would i(ve 'boon elected had she not with 1rawnf her. name. on the ground that ewas tomuch aniovice at p~resId ng 'and, prefefred for that reasotn not oaccept the shonor. Two women, fIiss Katherimne Mulligan of Bipartant 2nrg and Mrs. M.T, Colemnan of-Abbe ,,lie, ore elected vite-preeldents, and fifteen other women served on commit tees. All the woilk done by ,women was done gracefully and well. But be it understood that the real 1constructive work of the convention yas done by the men composing Its body. They were the ones who direct (d Its thinking, who guided the pyin ciples of our great party and who very 'patiently set themselves to the task of tenaching the women the ins and outs of a political convention. They (were ever courteous, tactful and eager to helip. Women will not soon forget the welcome the mei of the state gave 'them In the Democratic convention of May, 1922. Also be It understood that. whilo we held our place we learned a great deal like: "A wise old owl sat in an oak, The more lie heard the less lie spoke, The less he spoke the more he heard, Why ar+' we not all like this bird?" The women in thev Convention played the 'wise old owl, said little and con seultently heard tneh, but it was the generali olpinion that they behaved wisely and that the next convention will 'find them better able to carry their part of Democratic troubles ani joys. "The questions most (iscussed," I continued, "Were the soldler bonus, education, te( farim bloc, and-'" "Oh yes, sire! But' 3ou know, I think that's pretty good about the lady getting l) and announcing after a long discussion that they had churned a long time not to get any 'butter. What (10 you think-'' Here I usually left my good friend hurriedly with tle injunction to read the daily pape rs. It seems from the reports in these dailies that reporters were very much interested in us too! (Miss) KATE V. 'WOFFORD. RUSSIA FACING WORK OF YEARS Vast Amount, of IReconstruction Neces Sary. . Odessa, April 10.--The vast amount of reconstruction necessary before Russia can resume her place as a pro ducing nation is typilled in Odessa, where more tha 60 big factories are r'ounding out their second year of Idle ness. While the communists apIpear to be "coming to their senses," as one ob server expiessed it, the bitter eco nomic lesson of the past, foui' years has left its imprint on the Industrial Russia of old. There are to be seen many powerful examples of how easy it is to destroy and how difflult it will be to build up. Odessa on1ce boasted tiwo huge sugar refineries. Together they' employed nearly 10,000 persons, but today they are idle and almost in ruins. Another 2,000 men were employed in the big rope mainufactui'ng plant on the out skirts of the city. The factory will have to he 1actically rebuilt before It can openl again. The brick making industry had 20 factorIes In and near here in ,,re-war days, but all of tlem at'e falling to pieces. There were once three shipbuilding plants, the largest em ploy'ing 8,000 men andi tuirning out vessels of 3,000 tons a(1nd orec. The Soviet govern ment now operates it as one-eighth cap~acity. Three chemical factories have not been oper'ated since 1917, and a Fr'ench factory for making soil phos 1)hates shares (lhe same fate. It oncec riuliredl eight big plaints to can the fish cough in (lhe Black sea. The fish ar'e still there 'but .lie factor'ies long ago ceased to function. Twvo jewvelry factories have been clo.sed for several years, 'as hav'e thr'ee ilants foi' makIng vegetable oils, andi two other's where matches were made in mor'e prosuper'ous (lays. The making of sugar' and grain bags 'vas a lig industry here, employing thouisands of per'sons. Odessa also had factories for' (lie making of cloth pr'odnets, nails, cement, machinery, glass, shoes, paints anid varnish, cork, lInoleum andl carpets, but gaunt, decaying buildings arec all that is left to recall that time.
