Columbia, Aug., 9.?"The first State Conference for the Common Good lias greatly exceeded our expectations, lu attendance and enthusiasm." said the president, W. K. T?te of Columbia, yesterday. "Several hundred men and women, representing all sections of the State have been in attendance. Subjects of vital importance in the life of South Carolina have been dis cussed, and all the addresses have at tained a high standard of excellence. As the meetings progressed the en thusiasm gained in momentum. In spite of all that had been said at the preliminary meeting and it: the print ed matter distributed by the executive committee, there were a few people who at the beginning of the confer ence still suspected that it was ani mated by some hidden or ulterior mo tive. As the conference and every one who attended Its sessions went home feeling that it was truly 'a Con ference for the Common Good." " "The Conference did not attempt in any way to cover all the needs of the State," said the president. "A few topics had been selected which the committee deemed most pressing and attention was concentrated u; them. The dominant note was ru ral, though the industrial life of the Slate came in for a share of atten tion unusual in the history of South Carolina conventions. The keynote sounded by Clarence Poe in his pro gramme for the development if ru ral community life in the South, witli many variations, was well sustained throughout the conference. Commu nity corporation, marketing, the work of the country church, the effects of home ownership, the country school, and systems of rural credit were sim ply subtopics of this general theme "On the Indstrin) side the confer ence considered seriously the effects of home ownership in mill villiages and methods of bringing this gradu ally to pass. The address by Mr. Hol lie, giving an individuality and a community spirit in typical cotton mill villages, was a revelation to many of the hearers. Substantial Results. "The subsidary conferences amply justified their existence. Perhaps the largest of these were the farmer's conference and the woman's confer ence. The conference of high school and college representatives showed a discussion of t> ? topic '.Mutual Ad justments He,ween High School Courses and College Kntrance Re quirements' is destined to produce substantial results.

"it was the judgment of nil In at tendnnce that another conference should be held next year. In accord ance with the plans of organization agreed upon at the preliminary meet ing in June, the executive committee then selected will remain in authority until the aeyt conference, thus en abling them to cooperate in the plans for the county conferences. Count; Conferences. "The committee feels tlie great work of the movement will be done in the county conferences which will carry the idea to all the people of the State. It is not the purpose of the executive committee to supervise or even sug gest the methods of organization and the topics of discussion In the coun ties. The conference is not an organi zation : It has no constitution and by-' laws. It is rather a movement and; depends for its force upon tlie spirit1 which animates it. It bases its ex pectation of results on the theory that when a clear, definite idea becomes the possession of till the people. .' will finally bring itself to realization, it invites patriotic men and women in the various counties to proceed nlong similinr lines in the organization of a forum for the discussion of thing:;' which are to them worth while. The executive committee offers to county organizations looking to this end. It suggests that representatives of the county press, tlie church, the school. ! the farmers, the physicians, the law yers, the industrial workers, and the business men come together in a pre liminary organization, to he held later in the summer or in connection with the county fairs in the fall. "The subjects for discussion at tho county meetings will naturally vary with the special Interest of the conn ty. The kinship with the State con ference will he determined by two questions only: First, is the move ment entirely non-polltlcnl? Second, doe^ it exist for the common good? Several of the counties have already taken steps looking toward an organ ization. It is to lie hoped that he fore the year closes the movement will gain headway in a majority of the counties of Roiltll Carolina. The president and secretary of tho gen eral conference invite correspondence with men and women in the counties who are willing to assist in the pro mulgation of the movement." \V, Is.
