MISS NEAL MAKES FINE DELEGATE S REPORT. Meeting of Daughters of Con federacy At Athens A Nota ble Gathering. Report of Miss Ellene Neal, del egate to the 18th annual Conven of the Georgia division U. D. C. which m e t in Athens Tuesduy evening Oct. 29th, 1912. It gives me pleasure to bring you an account of my visit to Athens and the U. D. C. Conven tion, for it was as your represen tative, I was allowed this oppor tunity of meeting and knowing some of Georgia’s brightest and brainest women. My only regret is that all of you could not share this great pleasure with me. Athens is a grand, old city and far surpasses in hospitality your expectations, and certainly is all in beauty and historical interests its name implies. We have been welcomed and received with kindest hospitality, but 1 am sure none ever received a warmer or more cordial welcome than the U. D. C’s were extend ed in Athens. Almost all of the del egates reached Athens over the Seaboard Tuesday afternoon and were met at the train by the re ception committee and auto own ers. We were carried from there to the hotel and then to our homes. All of Athens was decorated in our colors. We have always been told to “save the best for last” and per haps our State Officers did, but 1 can assure you that, from the opening session until the last, was best. On Tuesday evening, the opening session, we were honor ed with music by the Lucy Cobb faculty, and with invocation by Rev. Troy Beatty. We were then welcomed by Mayor Rowe, by Mrs. M. W. Welch, of the Laura Rutherford Chapter U. D. C. and, other organizations, by Major Tal madge, from Confederate Vete rans, Brigadier General Hazelton, Sons of Veterans, and Chancellor Barrow for Educational Institu tions, and by Mrs. H. C. White, President Ga. Federation of Clubs. Our responce was given by Miss Ida Holt, of Macon, a competent mouth piece (as she expressed it) for the convention. We were then introduced to distinguished visitors by our President, Mrs. W. I). Lamar, after which we were tendered a lovely, informal recep tion in Lucy Cobb parlors by Miss es Brumby|and Gerdine. On Wednesday morning we met for business. The report of ih<e Credential committee, which is very important and greatly stressed, was read fir«t with in structions that we ask our Chap ters to|please send credentials at once to general convention even if our delegate does not go. The reports of other State offi cers were then read. Mrs. How ard McCall of,Atlanta, Registrar, urged that Call deaths, demits, and new members be reported to her from beginning of Chapters until now. This is important, these reports must be sent in before books close, which is 10 days before meeting of Convention. Our State Presi dent of Macon, who you all know is a very able woman, submitted her report and recommended that all chapters elect officers in May, which recommendation was put as a motion and passed on by the house, and send promptly to state registrar. A motion was put before the house by Miss Rutherford that time for delivery of crosses of Everybody Is. Way down deep in their hearts, Everybody’s lonesonje, Far within their secret parts, Everybody’s lonesome. Makes no difference how they smile, How they live or what they style; * Once in every little while, Everybody’s lonesome. People first in big affairs — Even they are lonesome, Maybe like to put on airs; Just the same they’re lonesome. Men for whom existence blends Every good; who gain all ends, Still reach out their hands for friends; Everybody’s lonesome. Women, silk-clad, jeweled fine, Yes, they, too, are lonesome. When their gems the brightest shine, They are just as loneseme. Some must serve and some command ; All still seek, with groping hand, Love, and friends who understand, Everybody lonesome. Though your gift of friendship’s small, It may answer someone’s call; Someone who is lonesome. Everybody’s lonesome, Give and give with might and main; Give your hands, and join the chain; And your gift will be your gain— Sometime, when you’re lonesome. —Bv Miriam Telchner in Detroit News. • Honor be extended and that Mrs. Irwin, originator, request more time at general Convention, seve ral spoke very effectively on the subject. It was also suggested that the president inaugurate a State organizer. Resolutions were adopted on the death of Mrs. Du- Pont. It is of interest to know that there are 120 chapters with a membership of 7,000 in Georgia and out of 233 names sent in as delegates, 180 were in Athens. Miss Alicejßaxter’s report as reg istrar of chiluern of Confederacy was very interesting and pleasing ly interspread with songs. Per haps this will be news for you as it was for me: The U. D. C. was the first organization on earth to give free scholarships. This was suggested by Mrs Helen C. Plane, Honorary Life President or moth er of U. D. C. This completed our first busi ness session and we adjourned for luncheon. lam glad that we were ignorant of what was in store for us at this hour, for I am sure, had we known, we would not have e.ijoyed the business so much. After luncheon the remaining reports were finished. Mrs. A. McD. Wilson of Atlanta made an ernest appeal for the Georgia Window in Old Blanford church, Petersburg, Va. Georgia is the only state who has not paid for her window. Virginia has done so for her, ‘ leaving a stain on Georgia’s name until this debt has been paid, which was all pledged and will be paid November, 1913. Mrs. R. L. Nesbit, of Marietta, made a plea for Georgia room at Richmond and suggested that each chapter give an entertainment for its benefit. The Convention adjourned at 5 P. M. for an automobile ride to the State Normal, where we were tendered a reception at the gor geous home of Mrs. Welch, Pres ident, Laura Rutherford chapter. Thursday, meeting called b y order by President. Invocation by Baptist minister, music by Miss Minnie Thomas and Mrs. Morton. Mrs. Wolf, chairman Credential committee, reported 181 delegates present. Report on Shiloh monu ment read by Mrs. McCall. $230.- 00 was pledged by chapters. Mrs. Rounsaville made an ernest plea for Arlington, said that more than one fourth Confederate dead of Georgia are buried there. Sev eral pleas were added to Mrs. Rounsaville’sand sufficient amount pledged. Reports from Children of Confederacy were read and it was moved and car ried that they hold annual conven tion during each summer. Mrs. Crawford moved that the name C. C. be changed to Grand Child ren of Confederacy but this was lost. The State Editor then sub mitted her report and resignation; both were accepted and Mrs. Franklin was appointed to take her place. Motion was passed that chap ters be divided into groups and each group be responsible for matter for editor for one month. Report of Emily H. Park Memo rial committee was then read and it was decided to observe Mrs. Park’s birth-day, March 31st as “Book Shower Day” for the Li brary. Each chapter is urgently requested to observe this day. The next report, from Medal Committee, was very encourag ing. Chapter reports read and ap proved, after which we adjourned for luncheon, given by D. A. Rs. During afternoon reports were made on Wirtz monument fund and Frances Bartow Memorial. One of the most interesting fea tures of the convention was Miss Rutherford’s report on History. This finished the reports and the meeting adjourned. All who missed Thursday night’s address missed a rare Miss Benning, of Columbus, Vice Presi dent, presided in her attractive w r ay. Dixie was sung by the Lucy Cobb girls dressed in red and white carrying Confederate flags. Mrs. Lamar’s address then follow ed. Mr. Morgan sang, “The Boys in Gray,” and the Mell Brothers quartette sang “Annie Laurie” and “My Old Kentucky Home.” Mrs. Stevens’ address then followed. Interesting slides of Rabun Gap Industnal School were shown with explanatory remarks by Prof. Hart, of University of Ga. $650.00 was then pledged. Friday morning at 9.30 A. M. the last business session was held. All pledges having been met; the U. D.

Brown& Brown “Cured” Mrs. Jay McGee, of Steph enville, Texas, writes: "For nine (9) years, I suffered with womanly trouble. 1 had ter rible headaches, and pains in my back, etc. It seemed as if 1 would die, I suffered so. At last, I decided to try Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and it helped me right away. The full treatment not only helped me, but it cured me.” TAKE Cardui TEiS Woman’s Tonic Cardui helps women in time of greatest need, because it contains ingredients which act specifically, yet gently, on the weakened womanly organs. So, if you feel discouraged, blue, out-of-sorts unable to do your household work, on account of your conditiop, stop worrying and give Cardui a trial. It has helped thousands of women,—why not you ? Try Cardui. E-71 WHEN IN ATLANTA EAT AT Eliot’s OUICK LUNCH, 105 Pryor Street Quick, clean service Moderate prices GOOD COFFEE E. W. Roberts, Mgr. Fiat Rock Well, Christmas is over.
