GOOD PROSPECTS FOR FUNDS.
Rev. Walter I, Herbert Outlines, Plan
4 for Collecting MIninfuIn.

Columbia. March 20.--The Rev, Wal
ter /. Herbert of Sumter will begin a
systematic canvass ofitlIe Sumter dis

Of the Southern Methodist church

mum .0ss $380;000 with which the in.

will be cleared ,IIlta 1ltiOh to meet

poets to create an ettiowment fund.
At the last meeting OF the confer

the South Carolina conference in or
der to unity, the agencies, of the three
colleges, which up to that time had
been working separately. since that
time Mr.. Herbert has been considering
a plan whereby money, could be rails
cd to cover the Indebtedness and Gre
ate an endowment Tor the three col
leges of the conference. This plan
provides that Drs. Snyder, Wilson and
Daniel. presidents OF the colleges, will
with the aid Of q lcommitte appointed
in each pastorate, present TO the
churches the question of raising this
sum. With the matter clearly before
the congregations Mr.. Herbert will
then make q trip in person.
ALREADY we have received a great
deal OF encouragement" said Mr.. Her
bert yesterday, rand am glad to say
that several thousand dollars have
been subscribed. The need OF taking
an educational institution from under
q burdensome Indebtedness is very
great, and the value OF creating an en-
dowment. both OF chairs and scholar
ships is almost unlimited. believe
that with time and faithful service
this sum. which i set, as the minimum,
poets and encouragement that have
received from many quarters think
the time will he a short one.
"The plan we have drawn is satis-
factory and practical, Mr.. Herbert con-
tinued. "and ! hope each pastor will
appoint committee Of not less than
three persons, either men or women or
both, who will Immediately set to
work on the duty to which they have
been assigned have conferred with
a number Of prominent Methodists in
South Carolina and all Of them have
assured me of their cooperation in
