The visit of Mrs. Desha Breckin
ridge of Kentucky to North Carolina
le an event worthy the attention of
the best people of the etaie, for Mra.
Breckinridge 1? a woman erf high In
tellectual attainment? and broad
sympathies. She la one at the most
prominent and Influential women of
the South, not only on aocount of
her family connections, which are
the most distinguished, but because
of her work for humanity. For
four years she stirred a? chairman
of the legislative .committee of the
Kentuckr Federation of Women's
Clubs, during which time laws were
P?ced ceating a state library com
mission, a forestry commission, on
both of which members of the fed
eration are serving; a separate
drinking cup law, and sdhool suf
frage for Kentucky women. Other
legislation obtained In Kentuoky
In which Mrs. Breklnrldge has be*n
interested, mainly through the Civic
Lsague erf Lexington and State Tu
berculosis Association, are the laws
creating a State Tuberculosis com
mission, of whloh She Is a member;
practically the first Juvenile court
and compulsory educatlonl law ob
tained .in ?ny Southern state, the
present county school board law for
second-class dtlee. She served on
the committees that drew these laws
Idbblsd for their passage and has
alnoe worked for their enforoement.
As vice-preaidont of the Kentucky
Child Labor committee, Mrs. Breck
inridge baa had some part In the
passage of the ohtld labor law, by
resison of which Kentucky now
stands with the most advanced states
and of the law limiting the wortc of
women in industry to 10 hours a
day. She served as a member of
the Stalte Educational commission,
appointed under legislative act of
1001 to prspars a revision of the
school laws.
The Olvic League of Lexington of
which Mra. Breckinridge was presi
dent for eons years, raised over
tSB.OOa from private eourees to add
to $10,000 appropriated by the
school board, with which a model
school haa been built. In Addition
to the ordinary stfbjetla taught, It
has m u alAraintng for every grade
cooking, sewing. carpentry, launder
ing, etc. It haa <aleo equipment for
aoelal activities, supported by the
Civic League, for the children and
adulta of the community, a combin
ed gymnasium and auditorium with
a stage at the end; a swlmimng pool
and shower bath and a laundry ueed
by the women In the neighborhood
An out-door school on the roof gar
den, the third out-door aohool In r
flu*hern city. Is the latest addition
It Is rfald that this school la ralslnr .
the standard for public schools. not |
only In Lexington, but throughout
the atata.
All these activities demonatrate
Mrs. Breckinridge's live interest In
the welfare of the people of her
state, and her experience han sat'
led her t bait women can accompi'
more In such efforts to Improve th?>
conditions of living and working If
thejkhave the ballot. Rh^ has been
president of the Kentucky Equal
Rights Aseoolatlon since October
lftll, dnrlng whlrh time the mem
bership ha? Increased .from about
1700 to over 10.000.
The growth of education In the
South and the part Mra. Breckin
ridge haa had In It wre brought ou'
by a report In the New York Even
ing Post of a Southern Education*1
conference In Naahvllle three year*
ago. The Poet says: "A number
of brilliant representatives of the
women of the South were present
among them Mrs. T>e*ha Breckin
ridge of Kentucky. Her touchlnr
speech on 'Public Schools and 8outh
th Development was undoubted^'
th$ moot hrflllant utterance of the
entire convention. At one time sh?
fairly brought tears to the ?yee o'
her auditors, and her plea for the
ballot for women, that the mo*her
milght follow her children In to thr
schools and Into other commune1
institutions le said to have abefcrT
the faith even of the anti-suffrage
editor of the Outlook, who wa?
In attendance. Certainly this grea?
grandmother of Henry Clay made an
Impression upon her auditors the'
wIM not readily be forgotten."
This gifted woman will apeak herr

It has beeft called to my atten

1* circulating the re port that there
haul been a meeting of certain par
tie? held in the dty. and that it was
decided, ahould the prevent Board

to be elected CITY CLERK. There
.can be but one motive for circulat
ing such a report, which !s to en
deavor to Influence voters In favor
of the present admlatstratlon thru
prejudice. On account of the fight
which I have heretofore mado on

j grown a spirit of personal antago
nism to me by this machine and Its
friends, because I have the courage
to defy them, and still do so, they
aeek to exterminate me In any and
[every way possible.
I I have not been In any meeting

any person In which the question of
CITY CLERK or any other position
with the city has been discussed
I have never for a moment, nor do

of any character under the Board of
