When the convention meets again in .November at Asheville a deci sion will be reached regarding what to do with the present college buildings.

"There have been other plans in which a few .solicitors had op portunities to win prizes for taking the largest number of subscrip tions, and so on." McNeil continued, "but we think this is the first time every subscriber, without one pen ny of added cost, has had the op portunity to share in not one group of awards but in Bonus plan awards which we aim to continue through the years. If our copy righted plan has the success we hope for it." lie concluded, "we will turn back perhaps as much as $!(, 000 a year in bonus awards to read ers in Western North Carolina." South Literary Service, in ad dition to handling subscriptions to all popular magazines, will handle manuscripts and news and features of all types in which Southern writers and subjects are concerned.
