The Y. M. G. A. State con-
yention met here last evening
with probably 200 delegates in
attendance. The meeting was
full of interest. The delegates
are as fine and noble a ioChing
body of yonng men as can be
found in the United States. Rev.
DIR. Tuttle, of Raleigh, delivered
the address of welcome last ev-
ening and G.. G. Stevens, presi-
dent of the University associa-
ton, responded. Rev. DR.. Smith,
the president of Randolph Ma
con and three other colleges, de-
livered the address of the even
ing on Men for the work. % He
is a remarkably attractive man
in appearance and address and is
very forcible speaker. His
address delighted all who heard
him, DR.. Pritchard, of Char
lotte, also spoke. He is a ready
speaker and is always heard with
pleasure. The convention is in
session again to-day completing
it's organization. Those who
spoke this morning were j. q.
Brown, Of Davidson college, and
t. L. Meares, of Wilmington,

Last evening at $50 o'clock
the Arlington committee assem-
bled again in the room of Chief
Campbell in the Park hotel. It is
''said'' that all hands were sober,
for the first time since they have
entered upon their duties as a
court. The clerk, Hauser, was
probably ''jagged'' however for
be did not show up. The very
first business the court did was
to impeach their Chairman, that
is Phillips and Bryan voted to
elect Bryan Chairman. Then on
motion of Phillips the contract
signed by Campbell, employing
Alex. Stronach advising counsel
and Wiley Clifton marshal was
repealed, Bryan broke the tic
vote between Phillips and Camp
bell. Then the committee passed
the following resolutions, drawn
up for them by Clerk of the oc
casion, Tom Bailey;
1st. ''That this committee re
quire of Mrs. Arlington that she
put her complaint in writing, duly
verified on oath, wherein she
shall state what she wants in

idea, the names of the persons
against whom she makes charges
and the charges themselves
specifically stated, and that she
submit this writing to the act
ing chairman and it is so ordered
by the committe."

call of the acting chairman.
3rd. THAT this committee d
now adjourn subject to the Cal

Rev. Phillips has repented an
left to-day for his home in Green
vile, probably to sober up. It
doubtful when the court" Wi

of seeking the charms of Hang
ing Dog township tomorrow.
Mrs. Pattie D. B. Arlington
the woman for whom the commi

gusted with them. ''When I 81
