C., June 24 liHKi. ?Tonight the Southern Students Conference of the Young Men's Christian Association, which has been in session for the past ten davs has closed. Annual Y. M C. A. conferences are held in different sections of the country, and for several years the Southern Students Conference has been held in the vicinity of Ashville, where under the influence of the invigorating mountain atmosphere, as much work as possible can be accomplished. The objoct of these conferences is to bring the students together, and to prepare thorn for association work among the colleges during the com ing year, and also to help them to decide their life work. The best | speakers from various sections of the country are brought together and the students are given every opportunity possible to get tlio best out of the conference. The forenoons and two hours after supper are given over to different meetings, such as missionary institutes, discussion of association or bible study problems, or evangelical meetings. The afternoons are taken up in dilTerent kinds of recreation. Mountain climbing, swimming and other athletics are among the pastimes which we love the privilege of enjoying. It must be noted that we are in the very heart of the mountains of North Carolina, and have some of the best scenery east of the Kockics. That great good has been accomplished during the convention, there can be no doubt. Nineteen students have volunteered for the foreign fields, besides this, we do not yet know how many have been led to decide for the ministry or Association work. TIio rare oppor tunity of holding personal Interviews with the leaders of the; convention, as well as the acquaintances formed anions two hundred and fifty choice men of the South, must bene (it everyone. It will deepen the spiritual life and extend its influence throughout the south. Out of the 250 young men, South Carolina has 28 delegates from seven different institutions. CLEM SON COM,HUE: RavH.

Kditor Herald?A good many voters weie surprised to say the least, when it was announced that the county campaign would open August 13th and yet the limit for filing pledges was July 10th, one month and three days before the opening of the County campaign. This is unusual to say the least and I believe will not be conducive to that harmony which we wish to see in the ranks of the Horry County Democracy. Why was this done? We are informed that there was effort to lix the time for fiiing pledges the day the executive committee met June 20th, 1000. Was it an efTort to practically forestall the action of the primary and prevent deserving men from entering the race for ollico^ Did members of tho committee nave friends already in the race. I lint, f \onvi/Min 1. ? ? . .1 ...?v von < m, I V uiiAiuui) lU HUCJI HOW 11 opposition to? Heretofore the time for filing iled^es has been lixecl only a few lays before the opening of the iounty campaign. The State campaign patty will bo n Conway ?n July 20th. and will ;alk on the issues of the day. and ifter hearing them, our people may iot be satisfied with the platform of announced candidates for the le?jslature and decide they want men ,o run who will represent their ricwsand solicit gentlemen to run >vho can and do represent them, yet inder the action of the executive i lommitteo of the county they will uive no redress and must enter into ? lie selection of candidates where j lone rejiresent their views of pubic (piestions. To illustrate: After hearing Mr. s Irunson. the prohibitionist may vant men for whom they can conicientiously vote and who if elected , vill f/o to Columbia pledged tv) vote | ind work prohibitory legislation. Phose who hear Messrs. Manning. dcMahan, Sloan, and lllease may vant men to run who favor the 1 itato Dispensary and they will be leprived of that ri^tit and privilege I >r after hearing Mr. Ansel there nay be others who favor whiskey jelling other than through the State dispensary. and they will want men n the field to represent them and inder the dates as fixed they may uive no candidate for whom they mii vote. All of us will a^ree that _. r ? ,vc wiinl ii(;^isuv;ors who have tlie ibilitv ami integrity to properly oprosent the county. Still .f 1 lorry rounty is it favor of prohibition the icople of Horry should bo represented bv prohibitionist. If Horry eounty favors a State Dispensary here should be advocates of State Dispensary under Ruysor Manning [lilI restrictions. If on the other land Horry county favors whiskey selling other than through a State Dispensary, let them send men to represent their views. Now as to ocal option as between a State dispensary and prohibition or no liquor. We know that the county that wants i dispensary can have one; the ounty that does not want a dNponsary will not have one. So local iption we already have, and he who promises that promises very little. Hut to oct at the main question [f the executive committee made a mistake, let them come together i^ain and say August lOtli instead if July 10th and <^ive all a show. .J. I). Derham.
