An Important meeting of the board of managers of the Y. M. C. A. was held In Council Chamber Thursday waning, at which general reports from various committees were pre? sented. The building committee re? ported very I'avorably upon the progress of the work on the building. It Is expected that the roof will be put on In the next thro weeks snd the Interior completed as rapidly as possible. The romml' ee on collection of money on pledges to the building was not so gratifying, because of the fact that a fairly large number o* 'he subscribers are careless about ?teotlnf this obligation. The ? m Vilttee has paid all bllle to date and this has used all the money now col? lated, and to meet the heavy bills tor labor and material which now a:cru-. It Is imperative that sub scrlbers meet their payments promptly. The same spirit and pride that made these pledges should n >w aeavall In the matter of paying them In order that the fund** may be 11 hand to push the building to a rapid completion. A statement of the amount due was sent each sub? scriber s short time ago snd It is urged thst this amount be deposited st sny bank or given to General Secretary Blrchard at once.

NEW CANDIDATE FOR GOVERN* OK UIVE8 OUT INTERVIEW. Thfl State l* Facing a Crisis in Which Hir Duty is t<> Respond to Cedit for His Bervtoeoi Th? Sparta nhurg Herald of Sun? day contains a two column ar.lclo. by a repreeentative of that paper, who was tent over to Lancaster to Interview Judge Irs B. Jones. Most of the article is given to a review Of Judge Jone'S career and, to feXll about his family. What there is of the Interview proper will be found in the following: "My candidacy for the go\ erorship, Id the chief justice, "came I'roia the Bnartanburg Herald, and I ap? preciate tiie fact very much. spar tanburg is a great country and great Oily. 1 know a number of your peo? ple very well) but I shall btcdmej Vary much better acquainted with many of them I hope"?with a *:ig nlfloant smile?"within the next I year." "1 am not one of thOes who be? lieve that the newspaper* have lost their Influence?don't pu' n.e down as any such fool as that?but 1 guess you had" better not use that word. The newspapers have a tremendous influence consciously or unconscious? ly. I'll tell you what I think the newspapers should do." And here the chief justice raised an admon? itory finger, much after the style of the late Dr. James H. Carlisle, and said: "He moderate in praise of their friends and in criticism of their enemies; publish the bald fact, with just enough comment to elucidate the situation; and leave to the read? ers the drawing of their own con? clusions and the formation of their own opinions. This trait the news? papers should recognize, and even if they do attempt, as they might legit? imately do, to mould public opinion, the best way for them to do li is by suggestion, and not by the knoek down-and-drag-out method. Let the reader believe that hz voluntarily forms his opinion* The people of South Carolina as well as those of other states, have a cordial dislike to being driven to do anything. They feel that they are free, and they like to exercise their freedom. And you can't blame them for that, you know." Asked for his reason for select? ing the flr3t day of the session of the general assembly next January as the date of the effect of his resig? nation Judge Jones explained that he could not conceive himself as seeking the governorship, or any other office, while wearing the judi? cial robe. It was up to him, there? fore, to resign. If he resigned be? fore the meeting of the Legislature, the supreme court would not have Its full quota of justices from the time of bis resignation until the elec? tion of his successor and an addit? ional associate Justice to the vacancy now existing. I'nder these circum? stances, attorneys practicing before the court would have the right to demand the additional justices, and U would he the duty of the governor, upon certification from the justices that the vacancies existed, to appoint a special justice In each case where this demand was made. If 100 such cas.^s should come before the court between the date of his resignation and the election of his successor. Judge Jones explained, it would he necessary for the governor to make 100 separate and distinct appoint? ments, either of tho same acting jus? tice, or of different ones in differ? ent cases. The power of the gover? nor to appoint a justice to fill out1 an unexplred term pertains only to portions of terms less than one year. Judge Jones' term has more than :w< tars to run after his reslgna beCOmSI effective, if Judge Jone? had resigned) therefore, before the meeting of the 'fglslaturoi which has power to choose his successor, the court would . i\-. been handicapped by having to secure appointments of special judges by the governor in oases where they were demanded by the attorneys or litigants Interested, if he held on to his present position un? til nearer the time of the primary, he might ha\e been accused of hav? ing held on to the salary aa long as possible, The only practicable time, therefore, was f..r him to resign at the earliest possible time at which hi- successor could be chosen. Hia resignation becomes sftcctive on the first day of the session of the legisla? ture, and if that body seel fit. It can eleel hie aucceasor on the same day. Tint is a matter Which Is Up to the leglslS tllt e. if one may Judge from the spirit In which Judge Jones talked, he will not ?..? a "statesman oul of a Job" af >< r hia resignation, hut s statesman 1itv much "on the Job." getting hti plans in shape for the race f..r gov? ernor, lor seven months he will d. cot?, his attention to that task.

I have thought the situation over. "The State of South Carolina has honored me far more than I de? served, or could have expected it to do, and I consider that the State now faces a crisis. From every part of the state the call has come to me to offer my services. There seems to have been a uniting in the opinion that it is my duty to make the race for Governor and while it Is a sacri? fice on my part, It is a sacrifice which I shall willingly and gladly make in return for the honor that the people, through their legislature, have conferred upon me. "I am in this thing with my whole heart and energy, and while I have nothing to give out now as to my plans or my platform, there will he plenty to say after the duties of my present office have been laid aside.

Several Members of Cabinet Defeat o?l for Reelection to ffowse?Laur ler Retains His Seat?Great Di-> sppolntntont to ConAdcnt liberals. Montreal, Sept. 21.?The Laurier governrnent and reciprocity suffered an overwhelming defeat in the Ca? nadian elections today. By a v rltable political landslide, the Liberal majority of 4 3 was swept away and the Conservative party secured one of the heaviest majori? ties?upward of 50?that any Ca? nadian party has ever had. Seven cabinet ministers who have serv-d with Pr.-mier Laurier were among the defeated candidates, j The Liberals lost ground in prac? tically every province of the Domin? ion. Where they won, their majori? ties were small. Where the Conser? vatives won, their majorities were tremendous. Ontario. the leading province of Canada, declared almost unanimously against the administra? tion and reciprocity. Robert L. Borden, leader of the Conservative party, will shortly be come premier of Canada. He will be supported in parliament by a work? ing majority of far more than ample for his purpose. The government defeat means that the Fielding-Knox reciprocity agreement, ratified by the American congress in extra session, will not be introduced when the 12th parlia? ment assembles next month, and that a revised basis of trade with the United States, looking to a closer commercial relationship, will not be possible in the immediate future. The Conservatives are committed to a policy of trade expansion within the empire and a closed door against the United States. Although reelected in two con? stituencies, the defeat of the Liberals also means the retirement from pub? lic life of Wilfred Laurier, who for nearly two decades has directed the destinies of the Dominion. Several times during the bitter campaign which preceded today's election the venerable premier said that defeat of his party at the polls means the end of his career. A Liberal membership of 53 from Quebec was cut down to the supre? macy of the party, but it was in Ontario that the Conservatives won their victory". Spurred on by ap? peals to patriotism and the cry that reciprocity was the entering wedgi for annexation, the Conservatives swept nearly everything before them. That province, which in the last par? liament WSS represented by 35 Liberals and 31 Conservatives, will send a delegation to the next com? posed of 13 Liberals and 75 Con? servatives. A notable feature of the dsfeat was the opposition's capture Of two hitherto Liberal seats in Saskatchewan. The results at 10 o'clock tonight, with a few of the disant constitu? encies estimated were: Conserva Provinces. Liberals, tives.

"I gladly lay down the premiership, e burden which ! have carried for 15 years. We believed that In making the reciprocity arrangement we bad done something which would be greatly to the benefit Of the people of Canada. The electors have decl ired other? wise, and I bow to their decision. 1 regret that we have been unable to carry reciprocity, which i still b? - lit \e would have promoted the ma? terial advancement of Canada and wa n!,i h i\e promoted the growing friendship between the United States and Oreat Brltlan. However, the country has spoken. We must bow to the Inevitable and l cheerfully do so." The landslide was not expected by eitle r side. The Liberals were con? fident that they would be returned with an Increased majority for they believed reciprocity would be ac? ceptable to the Canadian electors. While the Conservatives claimed they would have B majority, they did not expect it be BO large. They feared reciprocity would prove popular with til.- farmers of Ontario ai??i the farm? ers ami fishermen of the maritime provinces, However, In Ontario, especially, the agricultural vote went almost soiuiiy against recipro? city and In the maritime provinces it did not prove to be the popular issue expected TO CIRCl'LATE PETITION.
