Campaign For Louisburg
College Is Approaching Victory
$120,000 Reported To Date. Workers Gath
er for Pinal Push To Send It Over The Top
CO-OPERATION OF EVERYBODY NEEDED TO BRING
SUCCESS
The $150,000 Campaign in Franklin County For Louisburg College Has
Passed the $120,000 Mark And Only $30,000 Remains To Be
Subscribed.
? '
At the meeting of tlie workers Thursday July 10, they voted
enthusiastically to continue the Campaign for several days uu
la .1.^ whole $150,000.00 shall be subscribed. The frequent rains
of U-u past two weeks have interfered "seriously with their ac
tivity in visiting the people throughou the county.
Several hundred prosperous and public spirited, men and
women have not jTet been called upon for their Subscriptions
and the workers feel confident of raising the full amount as soon
as they can complete their visits.
The $30,000 00 still needed must come from three sources.
First Those who have not yet been seen. When the workers
call upon you, receive them cordially and subscribe generously.
Second. Those \vho have been solicited, but who have not
contributed. Ave you sure you did right in refusing to give to
this cause? Ion years from now will you be proud you had no
part, at this crucial hour, in building up a Chrstian College in
our county.
Third. Some of those who have already contributed and
who would rather subscribe more than to see the Campaign fail.
Louisburg College and Franklin County is at a time of crisis,
when the generosity and vision of all our people will lead as to
greater prosperity and a richer life. In the time and eternir,- to
come let us all be able to point back to this time and say "J did
my full share."

SPECIAL EDITION OF THE TIMES
This special edition of the TIMES is the first extra
edition of he paper in some time. There have been
r.tirrintr events of world consequence during the past
few yenrs which might have been worthy of an extra edi
tion, but we did not publish an extra.
We consider the present situation in Franklin Coun
ty another to warrant an extra.
On July^lst a Campaign was launched in Franklin
Count'' for $150,000.00 for Louisburg College. This
amount is required in order to keep this historic insti
tution open.
The time set for the close of the campaign was July
10th. That time has passed and the Campaign is $30,
000.00 short of its goal. The reason for this lies in the
constant rains which have prevented the workers from
seeing everybody.
These workers have determined to spend enough
more time on the job to enable them to visit everybody
and to complete the job.
VICTORY MUST BE SECURED! The cooperation
and g :nerosity of all good citizens will secure it.
The purpose of this e*tra is to inform every man and
woman in thecounty of the situation, so that everyone
will know his or her duty in the matter.

Oavl? the Wao.
"Mr. Davis is pre-eloently the
man to lead the fight this year
against the wholesale corruption and
public immorality existing at Wash
ington during the Hardlng-Coolidge
administrations, and to speedily ef
fect a thorough house-cleaning in our
governmental affairs. It wiuld be
idle and futile to consider any other
questions or principles without first
establishing the government upon
the bed-rock of sound public morals
and official honesty.
"This righteous undertaking would
be impossible under a continuation
of tfie~ present administration, be
cause the same reactionary leadership
which is responsible for the shame
ful conditions of official gjnif: and
corruption dominated the recent Re
publican convention and would still
be in control of another Republican
administration and further, because
the present administration has don<*
nothing and shown no inclination to
remedy the conditions complained of
Tutr^fore. there is no ground for
belief that it would do any diffn**ent
if continued in power.

"I have known John W Davis
intimately for many years. His views
aa4 his character are as broaJ as
the continent, and no person more
accurately typifies all the jouud,
i.oeral and progressive ideaj and
c!oc?rines ber/ calculated to pcmiote
every phase of our business, ocr.nom'c

"Govenuor C'hrales W. Bryan is a
thoroughly aggressive and practical
Governor of a Western State who
has given his people an exceptionally
progressive administration. No more

been selected.

will strongly appeal to the intel

Republican administration in the

sanguine in the belief of and over

clean government in November. "

Many a man. confronted with the
choice of "Build or Bhst" which con
fronted olr Louisburg College two
years ago would have wrung his hands
helplessly and said "She'll have to
bust."
Not so with President Mohn. He de
clared that 122 years of service to the
girls of Franklin County constitutes
o 'trust too sacred and valuable to
give, up without a struggle to the
death.
So he outlined^ the program of
growth and development. First he
convinced his trustees, then the Board
of Education of the Conference.
Then he started to organize the
Campaign in Franklin County. Foj;
months he could find no one who be
lieved that Franklin County cbuld be
J persuaded to give the College $150.
000.00. 'Gradually he persuaded tlie
leaders of the county to organize and
try it. One by one he Inspired them,
until now most of the biggest men and
women in the county are giving their
time and energy day and night to
making the campaign succeed.
The 75 workers In the campaign
have been so tired with the tremen

lege that there is not one of tliem who
does not believe that the ? fttll $150,
000.00 will be subscribed this week.
This comes irom having the right
leader at tile right time. Under such
a leader, the money and efforts of the
PRESIDENT A. W. MOHX~
rest of us will produce results beyond
our dreams of a year ago.
North Carolina's marvelous advance
since 1900 can be traced to a leader
with a vision of education. Oov. Chas.
B. Aycock aroused us to the need of
education, he was elected Governor on
an educational platform and from that
day to this North Carolina has march
ed onward and upward at a pace that'
has astonished the world.
For twelve years and more after Ay
cock's Inauguration there was a school
house a day built In this State. North
Carolina took hold of the wings of the
morning and soared Into new heights
of prosperity, riches, enlightmant and
civilization. We had a leader and he
led us aright.
Franklin County now has an op
portunity to press forward. By helping
to build up Loulsburg College we wilt
build a new prosperity and happlnesa
(or ourselves and our children. Tha
kind of education which Loilsbiirg
College gives to our daughters la ii>i
Tlncibie. It la bound to produce a
richer and lur comnanlty.
