Interstate Convention of Two Caro. lin Held At Anderson.-Fine Progress in a Great Work. Editor of The Herald and News -As a delegate from the associatioi from Newberry, it was my privilege as well as my great pleasure, to at tend the meeting of the Interstat( Convention of the Young Men' Christian Association of South Caro lina and North Carolina at Ander son, S. C., on Friday and Saturda3 last. The convention met on the even ing of the 17th, and continuei through Sunday, the 20th., butJ oul not reaeh there until F:riday and came home Saturday night. regret that I could not have arrangei to be present at every session of thi convention, because I enjoyed ever3 hour I spent the.re. Anderson showe% in every way that she 'appreciatei the honor of entertaining this greal gathering of representative Chris tian men who were doing'so much fo. the welfare of the boys and young men of the Carolinas and while wel. come was heartily extended on ever: side, at the ,banquet, when the large hal was filled and a bountiful feas1 spread, they had a very unique wel come displayed by electricity ii beautiful coloring, "Glad you came.' Thre were a number of very inter esting conferences and talks on dif ferent phases of the work. Some times as many as four or five differ ent conferences were going on at th< same time. While all were good two of thre best talks that were madi dring the convention were, oni made by Mr. Lewis W. Parker at th< Industrial Conference, Friday after noon, and one by Dr. S. C. Mitchel] president of the South ICarolina uni versity, at the 'banquet Friday even img. Every man who has a son and wh< lives in South Carolina should appre ciate in the highrest degree the com ing of Dr. Mitchell to our State. At I sat and listened to him talk, I was carried back to the days when Dr Ja. H. Carilisle, of Wofford college Dr. Grier of Erskine college and Dr Holland of Newberry college, wouli stand in our conventions and pleai for the young men of South Carolina The work is growing rapidly in tha Carolinas. North Carolina is leadini us and we will have to do hard worn to catch up.. Thirty-one years ago, in 1879, Mr R. Y. Leavell and, I think, Mr. J. E Chapman, and myself represented the Newberry association in the statt convention at Anderson. We had fine gathering of young men, espec ially from the colleges of the State but at that convention we were no: able to employ a State secretary fo: all of his time. The best we coul< do was to arrange with the Charles ton City association to get them t< allow Mr. E. W. Watkins, who wa: their secretary, to give about tw< months of his time to the State work~ and we had less than five hundret dollars for the use of the State con ventiLon. . At the meeting of the Interstati Executive committee held last Sat urday afternoon, the report of tha - linas showed that we had spent ten 3 thousand Uollars during the past year, that we had a general secretary, A Mr. G. C. Huntington, employed all e of his time to look after the work in . the Carolinas, and to assist him he e had Mr. Smith, the financial seere tary, Mr. Johnson, who gave all of his time to the students and Mr. - Klutz, who remained in the office at ElCharlotte, N. C., to look after the correspondence and to forward to each of these secretaries the corres pondence relating to their respective - branches of the work; and arrange ments were about completed to em - ploy a boys' secretary to devote all of his time to the boys' work. The International committee was : Tresen.Al .at this convention by Mr. H. 0. Williams, who is pleasant ly remembered by many in Newberry. > de was here in 1887, and is one of - the greatest men in the work. AL-o by Mr. Towson, industrial secretary, and by Mr. Robinson and Dr. Fisher, and another from the student de partment. So you will see the wonderful progress that has 'been made, and it is yet in its infancy in the South. This gives our friends in Newberry some idea of what a grand organi t zation we hope to form a part of, as soon as we can secure the court house property, and fix it up proper ly for the work here. We already hare a strong organization among the students of Newberry college, and when we get our county organi zation, they will' cooperate with us in pressing forward this great cause which has done so much for the boys and young men of America, and will do so much for our boys. A friend of the Yun- Men's Christian association who heard me speak of the convention at Anderson said, after expressing his pleasure in hearing such a favorable report from the convention, that he had a thous and dollar contribution for our L building here as soon as we were ready to begin the canvas to raise fifteen or twenty thousand dollars to improve the property. Nineteen thousand dollars more will make the improvements needed to give us one - of the best ,buildings in a city of this size in the South. Who will give this the next thous and dollars? We want every man, woman and boy to 'have a part in it. A. C. Jones. Newberry, S.

It is likely that the lives of the three negroes who were burned to death in the fire which destroyed Harbinson college at Abbeville las: week would have been saved and the five other negro students seriously hijured would have escaped unharm ed, had President Young followe the suggestions of Insurance C:in missioner McMaster, given him in letter three months ago, warning him of a probable result of a fire ;f this kind. Mr. M1cMaster's letter was pcompt ed by a report of Deputy Commis sioner Wharton, who was maimng ao inspection of all the ,olleges and hotels at the time. Mr. MeMaster in his let;er to President Young said: "Foliowing an inspection of your three-story brick dormitory building by the dep uty of this department, I am led to recommend that you install fire es capes from your third story roomus and that you have placed in your hallways several chamical -fire ex tinguishars, -put in such prominent position as to be readily founa in .ease of fire. I would recommend also that you have the fire drills of the oc cupants of these buildings, at least once a month. My deputy was im pressed with the fact that the stn do;ts in this building would be in great danger in ease :f fire. There foie, I would urge upon you to con s,(Ier the installation of proper means of fire escapes from your upper sto iles. "If you are unable to equip the building with iron ladders for fire eseapes then certainly a number of rope escapes such as rope ladders should be placed in a number of the rooms in the upper stories and the students instructed how to use them. "I trust that you will give this matter your earnest consideration, for it will be a great calamity and responsibility on both of us in ease of a fire and loss of life." The .caution Mr. McMaster dis played with regard to the Abbeville situation was prompted by the 'dis Iastrous fire that had just occurred at th*e Orangeburg negro college. -He had never received a reply to his letter to the -principal of Haa1binson.
