It seemins a little, ipresunptious for
Ie to head my article with such a
sweeping title as the above, but since
I have returned from Columbia, the
woien and the 'part they played In
the convention has been the question
most frequently asked of me.
"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

Lative of the honesty, of the earnest

Dverywhere are bringing twith them

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!

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.
