FRANKLIN COUNT! BUILD
ING N EARING COMPLETION
The Franklin County Building, con
struction of which was begun May 20,
is rapidly nearing completion. It will
be remembered that the contract was
let for tlY; building to be enclosed;
that is, all brick and concrete work
done, roof on and windows in, with
the sub-floors laid. Contract was let
for the building to be completed to this
extent, as money was on hand to pro.
ceed only this far. The contractor,
S. S. Toler, of Rocky Mount, has work
ed faithfully and well and will com
plete his contralct within the next
week or ten days. We understand the
College Trustees and the Trustees ot
the Franklin County Building Fund
will make a special effort to raise suf
ficient funds during the months of
October and November to complete
the building in its entirety. To do this
will require the raising of at least
$50,000.00.
Cordracts are yet to be let for the
wlrtng, plumbing, heating, lathing,
plastering, flooring and finishing. It
will take from two to three months
to complete this work and we un
derstand the college management is
very anxious to have this work com.
pletcd by the opening of the second
semester January 20. The class
rooms are badly overrun and addi
tional classroom space must be provid
ed. We hope that the efforts of th<
Trustees to complete this building at
an -ally date will be successful audj
we feel sure that with the present
prosperity of the people of the coun
ty, there will be no great difficulty in
raising the necessary funds. Let every
Franklin crunty person rally to the
call anil s-e that ibe portion of which
he^s responsible will be constructed.
Each persons portion is just the
amount that he agreed to pay for.
