 swIMING FOOL AT
 Y. W. c. A. HOME. | It is expected that the swimming pool at the Y. w. c. A. Home will be ready by the 18th of June. Prepara-
 tion for the heating are in progress,
 and the arranging of the apparatus is a matter engaging the attention of the
 heads of the Institution snow. The
 pleasure to be derived from this feat
 ure of the Young womans Christian
 Association as well as the benefit from
 an athletic point of view is great, and
 the members are looking to its comple-
 ton with eagerness. It is hard to
 reaize the growth and importance of
 this Association so new and yet so complete. What the energetic women at the head of the movement have ac- complished since the Peabody offer Is marvellous. It Is case of the wisdom of helping those who help themselves. The Association is in splendid condl- tion. The boarding department is full and visitor there will find happy and contented household of young women as could be. Young women who find there all the comforts and all the tender protection of home. Miss Rich mond, the General Secretary. is always delighted to receive any who call ex- cepting on Tuesday. which is her rest day. It is expected that the member ship of the Association will be con siderably increased now that the ar engagements for the swimming pool are nearing completion. The society young woman and the earnest business young woman are equally interested in this prospective delight. It is to be ex- pected that the bachelor maids, the debutantes and the older society young women will all soon be adding tho swimming accomplishment to their other requirements. The membership of the Association now numbers 1,404. From this 1t will be seen that the val
 ue of the Y. W. c. A. Is recognized.

Heretofore the South, has had as
much labor as it could use, except at
short intervals during the cotton sea-
son, but this year labor will be short
all the year. There is more work in
progress throughout the South than
there ever has been, and the Western,
particularly Northwest and Southwest,
roads are sending everywhere for Ia
borers While they will not draw very
leavily on this section, they will get
some and prevent the shifting labor
ers from coming this way. Naturally,
many railroads throughout the South
east will be unable to accomplish all
they have planned to do on this ac-
count, but looking at the situation in
general way, all this is encoura ging. :"
The story Of the railroads is re-
pleated in the mining districts, in the
lumber camps, at the furnaces, in the
cotton mills, and, in fact, in almost
every field where the work Of South
ern development is waiting to be done
thoroughly. immigration offers the
only possible relief.-Manufactu
