without the sympathetic interest and the generous cooperation of the people of Montgomery, and I wish to thank all who helped, and that means all who came." Mir. Murphy was asked as to the new Young Mems Christian Association build ing.
 T hope" said he, that the canvass for the new building will begin akd pro- ceed as effectively as possible. Mr, Pea body authorized me to say that he would contribute $5,OOO toward the new build ing, but he has not given and will not give the Baldwin property to the Young Mems Christian Association. That can not be stated too plainly or emphatical- ly. The Young Mems Christian Associa- ton has been accorded the privilege of occupying its present quarters for three years. but more than one year has al- ready gone, and at the expiration of the time fixed the Association will certainly have to find quarters elsewhere.
 Where are they to go? MT. Peabodys subscription of 5000 toward a perma- nent building for the Association is a standing guarantee of his deep interest in Montgomery and its young men; but surely he has right to expect that Montgomery will now do its part. would not ask him to do more. l have never OcCh WlIlIlB tO SOhHcCL SeiL WilA any philanthropy here or elsewhere that does not represent the sacred principle of self-help. We have no right to ask an outsider wholly to assume our own obligation toward such an organization as the Young Mems Christian Associa. ton. Montgomery made a glorious rec ord in response to the proposition for public library. The city has made a good response to other generous proposals of a like nature l believe that this move ment for some permanent provision for this noble work in behalf of our boys and our young men will be crowned here with success.
 T have been asked many questions as to the ultimate disposition of the Bald win property, the temporary quarters of the Young Mems Christian Association. That is a question for Mir. Peabody to decide. The property is his. Two things, however, may just as well be understood, I think. The first Is. that Mir. Peabody has bought the property for no personal benefit of his own. He hopes that 1t may some day be occupied by another organ ization quite as near to the hearts of our people as the Young Mems Christian As sociation. The second is that he has not yet announced the exact terms or condi- tions upon which this intention can be carried out. We expect to talk this over in New York within a few days. For the present, however, the one thing to do Is to leave future questions to the fu- ture. and to unite for a movement along the whole line in the interest of an at- tractive\ and permanent Young Mems Christian Association building for Mont- gomery. It will be a permanent improve ment of the first value.
 '"We have MT. Peabodys 5000 to count upon. If Montgomery will do It's part. will then see what I can do toward add ing to that amount. But I think I may fairly ask that Montgomery now see what can be done at home. The work will cost sacrifices, but believe they will be made"

MIR. CARNEGIE COMING
WILL BE PRESENT WHEN
 CORNER STONE IS PLACED.
MT. Edgar Gardner Murphy Will Go East in Few Days-Talks of Y. M. c. A. and Child
 Labor Bill.

As announced in The Advertiser on Christmas Day, Montgomery is to have visit, late in this month or early in March, from Andrew Carnegie. MT. Car negie will reach this city, probably by way of the Plant System, on his return to the East from Florida.
 The occasion of his visit will be the placing of the corner stone of "the Car negie Library of Montgomery" the hand some structure now in process of erec- tion on the corner of Perry and Adams dered and will be put in place with ap- propriate ceremonies at the time of MT. Carnegie's visit.
 MT. Edgar Gardner Murphy of this city, Executive Secretary of the Southern Edu- cation Board, conveyed to MT. Carnegie the invitation of the library trustees and received his acceptance of Montgomery's' S invitation on December "A. MT. Murphy will leave for the East again in a few days in order to meet one or two impor- tant engagements, and while there he ex- poets to arrange the details of MT. Car negie's visit.
 MT. Murphy will probably soon return to Montgomery. When seen at his office yesterday; he was asked as to the child labor legislation now pending in the Leg islature. He said that he was gratified to learn that the bill agreed upon by the representatives of the manufacturers, the Child Labor Committee and the Fedora ton of Women's Clubs, had been report ed favorably in both houses.
 "A child labor law" said he, twas passed in South Carolina on Saturday. An even stronger law will soon be passed in North Carolina and Virginia, where 1t has the approval of the Governors and the Democratic Party in both States. l am glad that Alabama is to take similar action, for 1 believe the agreement that has been reached will have the honest and united support of all the parties in in- terest. Many of us, and many of the friends of legislation who are not on the committee, desired a more rigorous law, but I think they will considerably and generously waive their special de- sires in the matter in order to secure the practical result now obtainable
 while I was prepared. if necessary, to continue the agitation with all the energy at my command for four years more, I am glad a conclusion has been reached have never had the slightest ill-will toward the representatives of the manufacturing interests of my State Many of them are my friends desire the broadest and best success of every fac tory of Alabama, and hope to close our discussion of this question with charity and goodwill toward all"
 But" said Mir Murphy. 'let me re- turn to Montgomery. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who so kindly co-operated with us to make our recent meeting in behalf of Southern edu- cation such a marked success. I know that those who heard the addresses of
 Dr. Alderman and Governor Montague felt well repaid But two such nohle ai1- diences could not have been gathered
