FOR A Y. M. C. A. BUILDING.
Mr. A. C. Jones Suggests This Use
for Old Court House-Charlotte's
Magnificent Building.
ChIrlotte, N. C., Jan. 5, 1909.
Editor The Ierald and News:
Having a little time .today, and hav
ing promised Mr. Geo. C. Hiintington,
the Inter-State secretary of the
Young Men's Christian asociation of
the Caroliiias, that the first oppor
tunity I had I would visit the new
building of the Young Men's Chris
tian association of this city. I avail
ed myself of this pleasure this morn
ing. The association disposed of their
old building, which the association
had outgrown. and wiL a capital of
$49,000 made a canvas of the citizens
of Charlotte and in twelve days
raised $80.000.00, and this fall went
into their now home, which has cost
them $128,000:00, and is the best
equipped building in the South. The
secretary, Mr. David L. Probert,
showed me all through the building.
The rooms are fitted up for young
men, which costs them from three
dollars to tan dollars a month, and
are all comfortable and kept neat
and clean. The average good room,
two occupying a room, costs them
each four dollars a month, those with
private bath seven dollars and a half
a month. Those occupying rooms in
the building have the privilege of
the use of the shower baths, swim
ming pool, reading rooms and other
comforts of the building, and plae"s
them where they are out of the reaeh
of temptation and safe from evil in
fluences.
What a great credit this is to the
people of Charlotte, who have invest
ed $128,000.00 for the benefit of the
young men who may chose to make
Charlotte their home, perhaps for
your boy or my boy. . My purpose in
writing this letter is to interest you
lotte has a population of forty thou
sand. Newberry has seven thousand
and I believe if the proper
effort was made Newberry could rais7e
twenty thousand dollars for her boys.
Westfied, New York, with a popula
tion of four thousand, has recently
opened a new building which cost
twenty thousand dollars. There has
been ten million dollars paid in this
country during 1908 for 81 new
buildings and those now under con
struction and provided for will cost
nine millions more. It has been the
gr~eatest year of all in the history of
the fassoeiations, proving conslusively
that the people appreciate iL the
Jig3aest degree the value of this or
ganization. I believe it has accom
plish~ed more for the young men of
Ameneca than any other organization
in existence. Its influence in the
colleges and -the communities is far
reaching and eternity alone will re
veal what it. has accomplished and
will -accomplish for the moral and
spiritual uplift of the boys and men,
and when I consider what others are
doing ho~w much more other States
are doing, 'and our sister State North
Carolina is doing, than we are in
'South Carolina, I feel that we should,
althouigh many of us feel as I do their
~inability to do much, yet, we should
Tall inite and try to enjoy its advan
tages at .home.
Somne time a'go when suggestions
were asked, as to the best disposition
to mnake of tire old court house I sug
-gested that it be turned over to the
Inter-State committee of the Young
Mekn's Christian associations of the
kCarolinas for an associa.tion build
ng at Newberry. The general assem
-bly will convene now in a few days,
-and if our members will introduce a
bill turning it over to the Inter-State
committee Mr. Geo. C. Huntington
will tell them how it should be done
-and with the .support of the minis
ters and the business men of the
county will in a few mouths raise
enough to improve it and m'ake it
suitable for their use. Who will take
~he lead?i There are a membe who
should be glad to, as it would be a
blessing to every one who took part
in it. I believe those of us who help
ed in the reorganization of the work
in South Carolina in 1884, and who
~held to organize the association in
Columbia, South Carolina, in -1885
regard it the best work we have ever
Sdone. I know I do and you will, too,
if you give this building properly
fitted up for the young men of New
berry county.
A. C. Jones,
M'ember of the Inter-State Commit
tee of the Carolinas Young Men 's
Christian Associations.

TO .VOTE FOR BRYAN & KE~RN
Electoral College Will Meet at Co
lumbia on Monday.
SAnderson, .Ianuary 4.-Gen. M. L.
Bonhamn, as t he presidential electoi
fronm the ud congressional district,
will go to ('olumbia next Monday,
LJanuary 11, to attend the meeting of
the electoral college and cast his bal
lot for laran :nOi s ert. I 1e L rd
congre~i~ssiona~:l d istrict is inadIe upj of
the couanties of Greenwood. Abbeville.

.te r the vote is taken. it must be seal
ed and (elivered at Washington by
messenger in time to be canvassed be
fore the time set for the iia*zuration
of the president on March 4.
Each State is entitled to as many
electoral votes as there are represen
tatives in congress. therefore South
Carolina has nine. there b,ing two
senators and seven me:mbers of the
national house of represent atives
from this State. After the meeting
in Columbia. has been called to order
next Monday. organization will be
effected, and when the vote h-as been
taken a messenger will be elected
the choice of the majority of the
presidential electors-to deliver the
vote at Washington.
In a number of the States tihe presi
dential electors are elected by the
legislature, but in South Carolina. the
choice is mde by the people in the
general election, the electors being
voted for at the same time the ballots
are cast for State and county officers.
The time of meeting of the electoral
colleges is fixed by State laws. and
not all of them meet at the same time,
but the votes must be delivered at
Washington in time to be canvassed
before the inauguration.
On account of his being a member
of the electoral college and having
made speeches in the interest of Mr.
Bryan and Mr. Kern in the east dur
ing the campaign, Gen..Bonham will
take no part in the proposed visit to
Mr. Ta'ft at Augusta,. Ga., on Janu
ary 14. He says he has a high re
gard for Mr. Taft as a man and for
the f:iendliness he has shown to the
South, but does not think it would be
proper for him to be one of the party
of citizens who will visit the presi
dent-eleet.
Ready To Go.
An old Scotchman who was threat
ened with blindness consulted an
oewlist.
"Will you have a little stimulant ?"
inquired the doctor.
The old Scotchman smacked his
lips in eager anticipation.
";Ou, aye, I'll tak' -a drink o' any
thin' you have handy,'' was the
quick rejoi.nder.
"Ah, that's the trouble!'' exclaim
ed the oeul.ist. "You'll have to stop
drinking or you'll lose your eye
sight.''
The -old ehap pondered a moment.
"A' well, doetor. it doesna much
mnattes ; I hae se'on every thin' that's
wiorthi seei.n', aniyway.''-Success
