C Huntington, Inter-Stata T. M. C. A, secretary tor the Carolina, returned to the city Monday night, af ter bavin attended . tile great Student Volunteer Convention, which met In ttsebvUM. ' Trait., last week. He was w v eeen by an Observer reporter early i yeeterday morning and aaked about - hi trip. Mr. Huntington was very - enthusiastic and had the following to ear about the meeting: ;j, Tb convention was a decided suc-eaa,- In every respect. Not only t iha attendance unusually large, and -.'r the 'accommodations first class, but ':'-very department of the work showed ;! Vp handsomely and all the delegates s--.;jv expressed themselves as highly v. toleaaed with the meeting. f, rwben It was proposed to hold the ' f HHt Vent ton In Nashville, it was object-';-'-d to on the ground that the atten- Ixlance would show a decrease as com-fjV-wijred with Toronto. Oana .3ia; that Nashville could C" ,, not entertain so large a gather int. and last but by no means least, f" that the money for carrying on the ' ' work during the next four years could - not be secured. The results of the ' , convention proved these objections groundless. The total attendance of '; , profeasors, representatives of mlssion ary boards, the press and other or sanitations, was 4,010 or 1,123 more than were at Toronto four years ago. ' The City of Nashville responded splen " . dldlv to the call for entertainment and nearly $100,000 was subscribed for the , 1 support of the movement. These re . ult are very creditable to the South land and revealed an Interest In mls " -i. sion effort wh'ch !s commendable. "The convention was held In the ft-vV tabernacle originally built for Hev. - Sam Jones' meetings and now known .:: as the Rvman Auditorium. It seals 8,000 people but did not begin to nc J- . commodate r-AT;KJflcnGETIO,- TIGEIl; trails by Ills: Own Plscretlon -Sent to the ' Road ' for . SO .Day a ', tor V.

Tv Kornup, a young white man who, it appeared from the evidence, had been a most energetic blind tiger. The prisoner had been ' arrested the previ ous afternoon by Sergeant Pitts and Patrolman Chriatenbury, . who found two Jugs And three bottles In his pos session, this being his new supply of more than two gallons. Kornup had operated extensively among the mill people around the city. . He Is a shrewd young man and would probably have eluded the offi cers much longer If he had not fallen by the wayside himself. It was while he was enjoying: a large dose of the cook's medicine that he was arrested. The recorder sent Kornup to Jail for 30 days for being drunk and bound him over In three cases for selling whiskey. Will Connor, a running mate of Kornup. was charged with drunken ness. Connor Is still quite a youth, but he in old in police circles. His sentence yesterday morning was 20 days on the roads. Cleve Donaldson, another favorite of the police, who had been arrested with the above named defendants, was ar raigned, but the case against him was continued until this morning. I MR.

When asked a few years ago by an Observer man if he had ever taken strong drink he eaid: "Yes, I most say that I have taken a leetle snip before breakfast, every morning for 00 odd years."
