Tho closing addrcsH was marte hy Fletch er Brockman, one time missionary to China and ti very forceful speaker.

The funds necessary for the purchase and equipment of the grounds and build ings were raised by Dr. \V D.

Besides this building there i. ri dining hall with a capacity of over ?00 and an auditorium capable of seating OOO people. Around these buildings on the mountain side are ten two-story cottages bulli by dif ferent colleges in the South. Win throp and Clemson Colleges own one of these cottages and the delegates from these colleges stay at this cot tage while there. A number of male and female colleges own cottages to gether, for the Y. W. C. A. confer ence ls always held earlier than the Y. M. C. A. conference, and in ibis way the same cottage may ho used by several delegations. Tho cottages and all the other buMdinvt, have all modem Improve ments inside, IK?? the forest and veg etation on the outside ls preserved in the natural state. The climate is de lightful, and the scenery is as grand as is Lund anywhere this side of the Rockies. Here every summer usually live conferencse are held: First, the stu dent Y. W. C. A.. then the student Y. M. C. A., (lum the student secre taries, then a conference for minis ters and laymen, ami a conference for missionaries and those desiring to become missionaries. Not only the ample and suitable equipment, hut the very atmosphere ol' the place, makes it a most desirable location for these conferences, und great re sults are always obtained. At the Y. M. C. A. Conference which just closed there were -1:15 delegates present, representing near ly all the colleges in the Southern States. There were 100 delegates from the State of Tennessee, SS from South Carolina, anti smaller delega tions from other States, including 2i? from the State ol' Texas.

Fach day tho morning was given to Bible study classes, methods ol' lead ing Bible study classes, social and mission study classes, and platform add rosses. The afternoons were allowed for recreation, which consisted of vari ous forms ol' athletics, mountain climbing and swimming in the pool. Life-work addresses were made at hill-side meetings after supper, and the most Important things of the day were discussed al the d?l?gation meetings held later. A series of wonderful addresses were made hy Sherwood lOddy. a returned mission ary, challenging the students not only to become missionaries, hut to spend useful lives wherever tiley lived. Similar addresses were made by a number of other noted speakers, and this feature alone was worth tho cost of the trip. Ono night was given over for each college to give a stunt characteristic of the life at that col lege. Coed fellowship abounded all the while and no jealousy or ill feel ing was detected. Clemson College bad the distinction of having the largest delegation from any one col Rige at the conference, there bein? 26 from the Clemson Y. M. C. A.

In all probability, be ordered out for duty in the Mexican crisis. I am first lieutenant of the Green wood company, Coast Artillery, and If tho Coast Artillery is ordered to mobilize, I would most assuredly re spond to thc call; but I know of nothing in the rules of the Democrat ic party which disqualifies a National Guardsman from running in the Democratic primary.

Honor tibe Great Gen. Itieh Ingratltude is about thc meanest and mos?, contemptible of all human sins. Yet even the best of us are sometimes, it is hoped unwittingly, guilty of such. Certainly the people of South Carolina have been so, in allowing the glorious record of the distinguished soldier. Gen. Richard H. Anderson, to pass Into forgetful ness. He offered his life and gave his talents and energies for the safety of our State and thc Confederacy, and how few now know what he did for us. His splendid services won the confidence of the Immortal Lee, who frequently commended him for what he achievved with his brigade first, then with his division, and last ly with the army corps he com manded. The Veterans and Daughters have started a most worthy movement to redeem this ingratitude of our peo ple, by the publication of bis life. The "Dick" Anderson Camp, U. C. V., and Chapter U. D. C., of Sumter, have started it; the South Carolina Division, tl. C. V., at its recent Rock Hill reunion, endorsed lt. Now Mrs. J. L. McWhirter, president of the South Carolina Division, U. D. C., is sues the following glowing endorse ment, and as the Daughters have taken hold success must speedily crown the effort, as they always suc ceed In till patriotic work they un dertake. Dear Daughters: 1 most heartily endorse the plans formed for secur ing the means to publish a book of the "Life of Gen. Richard H. Ander son," one of South Carolina's own brave sons, who has been so long neglected. 1 hope every chapter and individual member in the South Car olina Division, U. D, C., will aid In this most splendid work to rescue from oblivion the name of one of South Carolina's greatest bet oes. All of our people should help. Help by either subscribing for copies of the book, making contributions or loaning sums (to bc repaid) to finance the work. Address Cen. C. Irvine Walker, P. O. Rox 2:::., Sum merville, S.

Tile follow lng loiter has been sent out tvi all County Superintendents of iodination in South Carolina: Columbia, S. C., June l.'i, 1016. The Democratic enrollment now In progress in every county affords school officers and teachers a practi cal test of our educational efficiency. Every white man above 21 years of age is entitled to enroll on his local club, and should be urged to do so. As far as practical every voter should write his own signature, although lt will be necessary for untrained and unlettered men to sign with a cross. On tho Democratic club rolls of 1914 nearly 22 per cent of the re ported enrollment was marked with this cross, ls it too much to hope that a general and universal enroll ment in 1916 will show a material reduction in tills percentage of illit erates? 1 hope local club officers everywhere will join hands with school workers in an effort to reduce this number. After tho enrollment for each county has boen finished, 1 shall ask the county Democratic chairman for tho data so kindly furnished from a majority of the counties in 1911. The co-operation of the county chair man and the County Superintendent of Education in securing needed facts will be of material service to the schools, and will be highly ap preciated by tile State Superintend ent of Education.
