*T*HE fact that Congressman J.
I Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, re-
■ fused to meet Mrs. Oscar Hund-
|c\. president of the Birmingham Wom
an's Suffrage Association, was a tribute
to that lady's talents as a speaker and
logician The 1wo met. however, not In
joint debate, as was hoped for by Mrs.
Hundley, but before the House Commit
tee on Rules., and, although Mr. Heflin
couched his language In the most chiv
alrous words, be made it quite clear
that he. still objected to woman us a
voter.
Jt has been said of the Southern
women, by the women of the North,
that if they would speak in public, they
would be the greatest force for suf
frage yet applied. In Atlanta there are
a number of line speakers among the
club women. Mrs. Charles J. 1 laden fs
tactful, has a pleasant voice and has
always a good point to present. Mrs.
A. McD. Wilson has a smooth, easy de
livery and knows how to appeal sue
cessfull.v in behalf <;f any cause she
may have at heart. Mrs J. K. Ottley
is a fluent speaker. Mrs. Burton Smith
is a polished speaker and lias the gift
of her ancestors In making clear her
Ideas. Mrs. Francis Whiteside is not
only a convincing speaker, but has that
tone of voice that pleases. Mrs. Nellie
Peters Black knows exactly what to
say when she speaks and injects into
her talks a charm that Is undeniable.
Mrs. Williams McCarthy Is a graceful
talker and carries with her theme the
quality of sincerity, and Mrs. Hamilton
Douglas and Mrs. A. H. Spain are
strong and convincing in their speak
ing.
There are other women speakers in
the city Who have great gifts, and when
the time is ripe for them to meet any
of Georgia’s great men in joint debate
on any subject they hope to carry off
the laurels.

civic improvement. The most sub

building of a stone wall around the
cemetery, at a cost of nearly a thousand
dollars. Other Improvements have been
made by the league, including the en
larging of the schol library and other
local enterprises. Mrs. Nellie Peters
