A GREAT AND GROWING ORGANIZATION.
the Second Annual Inter-State
Convention of Young: Hen's Christian
Associations..
The city of Aalicvillc will entertain
the second annual Inter-State Convention
of the Young Men's Christian
Associations of North and South Carolina.
The convention will begin on
Saturday, March 11, and close the following
Tuesday night.
"Advance Steps will be the central
theme of this most interesting meeting.
The Association movement at
large is making great strides in the
present nay. The progress during the
past live years, not only in membership
and material development, but
also in religious and educational lines,
equals that of the forty-seven years of
previous history. While the movement
is conservative there are new
and more cflicicnt methods being introduced
constantly, and "Advance
Steps" are necessary to keep up with
them, thus securing the best results.
One of tin* most valuable features of
the convention will be the "Quiet
Talks" of*Mr. S. 1). Cordon, of Cleveland.
Ohio, lie is one of the powerful
speakers in this country today on subjects
relating to the Christian life,
lie was at the Conference of Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Ministers held
at All Healing Springs last summer.
Dr. J. Knox Montgomery says of him :
"Many of our ministers had been at
Nortbfield, but they said they had not
had such a blessing from anywhere as
they got in sitting at Mr. Cordon's

Original Packages.
Is tin; <row or the car the original
package in which hecf is shipped
V from one State to another? This is >
f not a frivolous question, hut one '
f which the Supreme Court of the
I'nited States must take into scr
ious consideration in deciding the
i* case in which the government is at
tempting to prove that certain ltcef
packers have made a combination .
> in restraint of trade.
a By the decisions of the court, as
1 cited in the Attorney-General's re1
cent argument, the man who ships
1 a commodity from one State to an- '
f other, where it is sold in the "orig3
inal package," is engaged in inter
state commerce, and his transacts
tions are subject to the control of
11 ic* federal laws. The beef-packers
i' maintain that the freight-car in
which the beef cattle are shipped is
>' the original package, and that, as
1 the cattle are taken from the cars
- before they are sold, the transaction
1 docs not come within the court's
1 definition of interstate coinmerco. \
When a Boston layman was asked
what he thought of the matter, he
replied, "The hide of the beef animal
is the original package, of
course, just the same as the ease in
which beer is shipped into the prohibition
States is the original package."
But a Pennsylvania woman,
the daughter of a lawyer, said it
j was the freight-car, because that
I was what the cattle was packed in. |
And a New England woman insist"
cd that it could not be the hide, for
* that was part of the beef, and not a
package at all.
But what would these people say
~ al>out apples, for instance? Is the
' original package the Ikjx or barrel
in which they are sent to market,
^ or is it the skin in which nature has !
packed the meat of the fruit! Or
is it the freight-car in which the
Ih>xos or barrels arc shipped? The
Companion will not attempt to answer
these questions any more than
1 it will try to anticipate the decision |
j of the Supreme Court on the rela- i
I tive priority of the hide of the steer
or the walls of a car as the contain,
"r of the beef. It is such disngrce'
ments that mako business for the
courts.?Youth's Companion.

The Undi
Big Fire at Hot Springs, Arkahsas,
and New Orleans.
A lire broke out in ll*>t Springs,
Ark. last Saturday morning alxmt
2:30 o'clock ami burned 40 blocks
of the city. Most of the houses
burned were residences, hotels, court
house, jail and churches. The loss
is estimated at one and a half mil"
lion dollars. This is the largest)
Fire and heaviest loss in the history
, t il ! ~ 1
oi hub uiy.
Last Sunday night lire broke out
in the wharves on tlie river in the
city of New Orleans, which destroyed
many wharves, warehouses and
grain elevators, nud twenty thousand
hales of cotton. The loss is os'tiniated
at five million dollars: The
freight terminals of tin/ Illinois
Central railroad was completely destroyed
and the shipping wharves
and docks also burned so that it
will for a time he impossible to ship
any kind of freight by vessels or
cars from this point. It sounds
strange that a fire so near such a
river as the Mississippi, could burn
so much property liefore it could be
extinguished, not so with Hot
Springs, in this city the water supply
is not so good, and at the fire
above mentioned on account of the
pumps refusing to work or were
broken, bucket squads had to be organized
and the water to put out
the fire had to be carried in buckets.

Letter to J. E. Fowler,
Union, S. C.
Dear Bir: Let's have a little private
talk by ourselves on business;
no1>o<ly else, please, read.
You want to know how to do a
cheap job of painting, and have it
look good. Here it is: The cheapest
thing there is in the way of a
good-looking job?say nothing about
its being good?is Devoo: the regular
thing in Devoc.
The reason is: Devoc goes further
than anything else. Lead-and-oil
is good-looking; don't go so far
and costs more. The other paints
are more or less short in one way
or another; don't go so far and
costs more than Dcvoe.
Devoc costs least of all; you don't
mind its lasting longer, do you?
We can't help it; a paint that goes
further lasts longer; we can't help
It.
Yourfl truly,
F. W. Dkyok & Co.
