THE ". VI, G.. A.

The meeting, last week, Of few
representative men and women to
discuss plans to elevate the moral
tone Of the community, followed so
close as to seem to, have been In
spired by our appeal for united &C
ton along similar lines. In truth,
the talk OF, the meeting suggested
the editorial and The Advocate is
pleased to announce to IT'S readers
that the outlook is very bright for
the establishment Of a Young Mems
Christian Association.
The most hopeful sign for it's sue
cess Is the unanimity with which the
movement Is being furthered by the
pastors Of the three local churches.
Charleston boasted Of Y. M. G. A.
few years ago. 1t began it's ca
reer with a goodly number as mem
bers, but, for reasons not yet stated,
1T received little encouragement
from the churches. The ministers,
with one exception, treated the orga-
niZation as If it were anything but
one Of the surest means to reach the
unreached. and, after a precarious
existence, prolonged. by the efforts
Of Attorney T. C. Nutter and Mr.. w.
O. Lee, the organization went down
In this effort to revive it, the
Charleston Woman's Improvement
League is taking the initiative. They
have associated with them a number
of gentlemen who have pledged
their time aid money to the cause.
There is no apparent reason why
their efforts should not be crowned
With success. With Negro popu-
lation near 5000 Charleston can cas-
lily support a first class organization
of this kind, and, by a little self-de-
NAL, could provide it with a building
of its own. If the. churches, would
contribute g quarter or a smaller
fraction of their collections, the 9th
er agencies should find no difficulty
in raising enough funds to, at least,
rent suitable quarters till other pro-
visions can be made. The Advo
cate pledges $25 500 to the fund, il
any three organizations, churches,
lodges or clubs, will each contribute
like amount.

THE PASSING OF A HERO.

commemorate in enduring bronze or
marble the late Sergeant w. H.
carney, whose passing removed
from the stage of action one whose
herlsm links him inseparably with
the hundreds whose notable deeds in
peace and war have brought honor
and glory to the Old Bay State.
What black boy has not read with
martial pride the description Of the
memorable charge on Fort Wagner!
IN that desperate assault, it was
carney who. grasping the tattered
coiorS rs they fell from the hands of
stricken comrade, himself mortal
~ wounded, dragged himself back
INTO his own lines and, holding the
standard aloft, cried, Boys. the
old Tag never touched the ground. ,,

safest and most practical on the mar

Earl S. Sloan is the son Of veterinary
surgeon, and from his earliest infancy
he was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practised as a
veterinary for twenty years, and has
battled successfully with every dis
ease to which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result OF
experiments made to save life or re
lieve suffering while he was practising
his profession.
