THE STATE CONr'E%T[ON OF THE YO)NG IENN H ('I TIAN AoAOCIATION. A Very Intercsting. Instructive, and Pleasant Meeting. The State C invention of the Young Ien's Cinistian Asociation met in the Baptist church on last Thursday night. There was a I: rge attendance. and those who know, say it was one of the largest and most profitable associatious ever held in this State. It was the tenth annual c(oiventioi. Most of the delegates came in on Thursday. and Thursday afternoon there was an informal meeting in the Baptist church, and a general hand shak ing and making known process among the delegates. It was not long before they were acquainted with each other. There were eighty-three delegates present, representing seventeen associatious. Thursday night the session was devoted to welcome addresses. by George B. Cromer, Mayor, in behalf of the citizens ; Rev. C. P. Scott, pastor of the Baptist chumch, in behalf of the churches ; S. T. Riser, president of the College Associa tion, in behalf of his association ; and Geo. S. Mower, president of the Newberry Association, in behalf of this association. These addresses were all short, to the point, and well delivered. Hon. H. G. Scudday, State secretary. in behalf of the delegates, in brief and fitting terms responded to the addresses of welcome. Mr. George S. Mower presided at this meeting, and introduced Mr. M. B. Williams, of Atlanta, State secretary of Georgia, who spoke of the origin and growth of the Young Men's Christian As sociations. He said that this work was started only about forty years ago, and now the organization was found in every land where the Christian religion was preached. There are now in this country 1,000 associations in charge of 540 paid secretaries, and more than 100 handsome buildings dedicated to this work. He said the Young Men's Christian Association was a part of the Church, devoted to one particular work - the saving of young men. He urged the delegates, and those interested in the movement, to work and adopt as their motto, "Win or die." On Friday morning the ConveLtion was formally organized. Mr. H. G.

McCollough then addressed the association on the Scriptural work of the association. He said the study of the Bible, prayer, and the man ner of life of the members were the im portant features of this work. "How can we get the most benefit out of this Con vention ?" was then discussed by the Con vention. led by Mr. B. M. Williams, of Atlanta.

A Good Investment. The business men of our town could not make a better investmtenit than thaIt to which they have been givitng so liber ally in the past few days. We mean for the erection of the building for the Young Meni's Christian A sociation. It will pay them in dlollars anid cents a good dividend on the investment, not to speak of the good influences such an inistitution will exert in the saving of yo ung mna from the n.'ays of evil and vice. The building is now a-sur'ed and we hope a sutitable lot can be secured in a public and convenient place wher e the young men will not have to go ouit of their way to reach the rooms. We sug ge st the lot .inst in fsont of the New~berry IIotel, towv occupied by the postoficee building, the barber shop and the law oflice of Goggans & IIer'bert. Build a tw..o story uilding here and have the Y. M1. C. A. rooms up stairs. The yotung men(i could reach the roonms at this place w..iout going much Out of thte way. We do not know, but supi ose this lot could be secured. T1hie w..o: k of raising mney for the building is progr es,itng rapidly. On Sunday night $!,520 were raised and on vesterday the sim hlud reached $1,;95, atnd several who will g've liberally had not yet put dowvn their subscriptions. The young men will have no trouble in raising $2,500 or $3,000 and work on the butihding will be commenced at an early day. We hope to see the good work go on to at successful termination.
