Natea. The meeting at the Young Men's Christian Association last Sunday afternoon was among the pleasantest that has been held for a long time. From the very beginning the spirit showed it self in a manner which told that the hour was to he a highly profitable one. About 150 were present. After the de votional exercises the program handed over to Dr.

York Russell, who introduced the speaker, Cotincellor Walter V. Delsarte. of the law firm of Dclsarte. Smith Company, who spoke on "Lost Opportunities." After telling of the manner in which many young people waste their time and dissipate their powers, and of the. consequent loss to society, Mr.

Dclsarte expressed the view that we should always he forging ahead. "It will be a sad day for humanity when every one is pleased when a general universal satisfaction sweeps over the face of the earth. It will mean that ambition is dead, that effort has ceased, and that the human race has lost its purposes and ideals. If you will tell me what the young men of to-day are doing, what they are reading, and what they are thinking about, what their aims and ideals, arc, I can pretty nearly tell you what will be the future of this republic. Speaking of the work of the associa tion and its help to the manhood of the race, Mr.

Dclsarte said "Institutions like this bespeak the future of the yoing men of my race. As President Roosevelt has said, one of the great things a man can do is to be a good citizen in the community- in which he lives. If our young men will do their duty, and if our whole race will live up to the opportunities before it, a change in the sentiment of this country toward us must come. It may be in the dark and misty future, but it will come -that time will surely come when we shall occupy a position along with those of the most favored races of the world." Repeated applause erected Mr. Dcl- sartc's oration as he took his seat Dr.

York Russell commented favorably upon it, anil complimented the speaker upon his ettort. Hon. Beverly R. Robinson, Assembly man of the 27th Assembly District, was present and also spoke. Not tor a long time, said Mr.

Robinson, have I ong tunc, said Mr. Robinson, have I the greatest problem of all. Gain in this life is made only by slow, processes, and the man who devotes himself to the public welfare is rendering the best possible service to humanity." The Literaryy Society, under its new set of officers, is progressing rapidly. The theatre question was discussed on luesday evening, each side showing great ability in handling the question. Mr.

W. H. Thomas is planning great things for the dramatic club in the near future. Miss Edith A. Leonard, presi dent of the Women's Auxiliary, and her assistants, have planned a performance for the branch, to take place some time November.

The property it is now using is valued at $30,000. There are four buildings on the ground, one a unique two-story dormitory for girls, a two-story dormitory for boys, the administration building and the trades building. Fully a hundred students have been enrolled in the second week of the session, and as soon as the fanning season shall have closed the facilities will be more than taxed to accommodate all who come.

Little Rock, October 5. Williams Industrial College opened here last week in its fifth annual school with a record-breaking attendance, and indications pointing to a most successful year's work.

This institution was established five years ago by the Rev. Rufus S. Stout, D. secretary of church extension in the C. M.

E. church, with the intention of making it a school. The institution has encountered the usual difficulties that any other young enterprise of its character has to meet, but has successfully met them all and is now in fairly good condition. The property is now located in the heart of the city, and for its purposes, as indicated in the name of the college, is hardly adequate for its present needs.
