Election November 2na.
 With the coming of the winter months the Young Mems Christian As- sociation is preparing for its winter campaign among the young men. The chairmen of the various sub-commit- tees have been exceedinRlv busy during the past two weeks organising and perfecting their plans for the most successful year the local association has ever known.
 Probably the most important change to be noted in this years worls will be the mems meetings on Sunday af- ternoon, Formerly this iuiportant part of the Y. NJ. c. A work was held In the auditorium of the association's building on the corner of Washington avenue and South McDonough street. This year the meetings will all be held in the orpheum Theatre on Court Square.
 In an annual report of the condition of the various associations in the Southern cities. Montgomery was nlaced at the head of the list. Although smaller in population by forty-six per cent. than many other cities compris- ing the Southern territory. the local as- soclation showed a larger n1ernbership. not in per cent. but in actual mem bers. Following this big lead. the as- sociation showed a larger -"- cent. In every branch of its work. with a small CT running expense for each member. These percentages ranged from fifteen to I6o better than did Atlanta. Mem- phis. Nashville. Mobile and BirminE- | nam.
 There could be but one fault found In the percentage column. and that was in the attendance upon religious meat irgs The chairman of this committed Clarence N. Jones, determined that this matter should be corrected at once. hence the change in the place Of meet ing.
 During the winter prouiinsnt speak CTS over the State will sneak to the young men of the city. whether mem bers of the association or not. upon live topics, the frst speaker being Hon. IL S. D. Mallory. candidate for Cow ernor, who will take as his toDic this afternoon at the Orpheum Mans Civic Responsibilities"
 In the Boys Department a secretary to succeed MT. Hanna has not been se- lected. but che work will be tn the competent hands of Physical Director Kuckert and Assistant Secretary F. T. Banks. As was the case last year. there will be three Bible classes in addition | to the regular Sunday afternoon meet" | ings of tho whole department. These BIhle classes will take gradad courses | in The Life of Christ ana in the char acters to be found in the Old TestaT ' ment. A special educational feature | will be provided for them from time '" 1 time. ...
 election to De held on November Snd' Realizing that many young men 20 [" | the polls totally ignorant ot how tc vote, 1t has been decided that reg ular election modelled unop actual con | ditions will be held at thO '. M c. A. i he | wul be as near the regular national one | to be voted upon on November 5rd as | the law will allow. | The boys will be made managers Of

 Various educational features along along | this practical line VIII ne H'"e" | throughout the year.

 the Mohtie Y. M. c. A. and MontEomerv. In addition to a regular schedule with 1 these associations games will DO ar.
 ranged through the season with all or inc visiting college teams from many
 sections of the country. All of the old | team will probably be back to report | for uractice, and in addition theie will | be some excellent material with which | to make the old men nEht for their placos. . =, l which pr. B. J. Baldwin Is chairman last years plan of giving to the em-
 nloyed men and boys of the city the | opportunity for advancement at very
 small cost and without interference

 During last year this work was lit- tie appreciated by Montgomery bows, | Classes In bookkeeping. stenograph y, designing and free hand drawing me- | chanical drawing. teleRraphV. electrici- ty, grammar. spelling and arithmetic l will be given for members of the as- | sociation for almost a nominal sum. The
 classes will be taught hv exnerts m

 is hoped that this educational feature of the association will find greater fa-
 vor in the eyes of the young men oi
 the city than was the case last wear.
