fore Local Y. M. C. A.

The management OF the Y. NJ. e.. A.
has brought some splendid speakers
to Anderson this winter, and tic ad-
dress OF FAINT and the others have
left an abiding impression. 1t is
worthy of note in this connection that
the remainder of the list OF the men
VINO ha"c accepted is an inviting pro-
gram aS ever aIIy city had Among
the men TO come are DR.. II. M. Poteat,
who thrilled Anderson a few nights
ago; Judge Jeter e. Pritchard and
President j. Henry Harms OF New
berry College. AS to the style OF
man that Judge Pritchard is, and as
to the kind OF add-css that may be
expected, the following special from
Durham, n. c., will give some idea:
Durhams Feb. 1.-Judge Jeter C..
Prftchard today registered his pro-
test against the tango and the turkey
trot md the slit skirt in the fifth OF
the series Of meetings for men being
Held mt the First Baptist church.
Judge Pr!tchard was heard by over
l.000 men and many amens and mods
OF the head greeted what lie had to
say about the present-day fashion of
tho feminine part OF the North Caro-
lima population.
The Conservation Of Manhood,
was the subject on Which Judge
Pritcliard spoke. and he outlined q
number OF ways In which the fathers
and mothers OF the State could con-
serve the manhood OF the rising gen
Grafton. The distinguished jurist
spoke with a seriousness characterize
TIC OF all OF his discussions OF moral
issues. He talked in conversational
Lehe, but none OF the addresses that
nave been delivered in Durham have
been listened to more attentatively.
HlS speech was filled with illus
fralons OF the results of the failures
OF parents TO give their children the
proper home training. All Of these
illustrations came from the observa-
ttons OF the speaker while he was on
the bench, In the senate and in his
present position.
Tho proper home training WIS tho
airst means advocated for the conser-
Hatton, OF the boys aud girls OF the
State, and the sccond was prohibitiya
and repreasive laws.
IN the first case Judge Pritcnard
said that he knew of many instnnnns.
"a which which ttiifi ttiific fathers left the Wn,,ie
training OF the children to the motb-
ers. That this was bad was shown
from the fact TINT there are always
times in the life OF boys and Girls
when the strong nrm of the fatherE
authority is needed. He colli, :nnt

That'thc prohibition law was NOT an
interference or the personal liberty
or my man. but an EFFORT to take tho
temptations away from tho people.
Ihe Young .Deenle OF the State, was tho
position taken by Judge Pritebarf, an
the whislsey question. He reeaI,ed
s', svnte or the scenes from the early
" ntIseoEy OF Madison county, and said
.neI t, While he was practicing law in
INA. $cStlon of the county he de-,
ishueu 81 murders. The dockets of
the county were crowded with mur-
der cases. He told OF the fight made
against whiskcy in that county, and
lnaliy wound up with the present.

forcement OF these laws was stresseI,
