There was a mass meeting of citizens at the Manufacturers' Club Saturday, for the purpose of taking some action on the M. P. College, which had not been located. Our business men were very mnch en thused over the matter, seeing the mutual benefit the town ond col lege could be to each other, and on Short "notice offered $12,000 cash for the' college. Of course this would be a small item as to what the city would do for such an in stitution each year. , A' resolution was adopted at the mass-meeting. and at this morning's session of the Conference Prof. Tomlinson President Manufacturers' Club read the resolution and made speech setting forth the advantages of High Point for the college and the enthusiastic interest our people have in the undertaking. If our friends of the Conference will see it, and we believe that they will, the moment they decide to come to High Point the success of the school is assured. There are scores of reasons, all obvious, why this would be so. The matter was put in the hands of the Committee on Education, which deliberated until almost the noon hour when they submitted their report. The substance of it was that the committee be increased to 14 with power to locate the col lege. The report also included povrlsion for a Field Secretary The matter was pending when the Conference adjourned for dinner, Thb Enterprise would say to the Conference that no proposition has ever been presented here that has received the united endorse' ment of our people as this one has, which is saying a great deal, be cause the history of the town has proven that with our business men behind a project it goes off success fully. Would it not be'mudi better or the denomination to have this spirit go along with the college, put it wherever such an interest cannot be created on account of existing conditions. The oppor tunity here is great tor such an institution. THE BRIDGE While Mr. Coapman was in the city yesterday, the Enterprise brought np the subject of a bridge at the crossing at Hamilton street, the only way now for the relief of the public from the ' incessant shifting. He did not take to the idea very much as far as the rail road is concerned. This plan may or may not be practicable, but the fact stands out that something will have to be done soon. HOLIDAY GOODS Our merchants have bought largely of holiday, goods which will be displayed in, a few days. The class of goods for this, trade is of larger .variety and more useful than the ordinary Christmas goods so termed. MR. SILVER HURT. Dr, J.

Ryder, of Charlotte, died at Battle Creek, Mich., last night at 7:30 o'clock Captain Ryder had been under treatment at a sanitarium at Battle Creek for some time, but bis con anion was not considered serious. In fact, his death did not result from the disease he went to the sanitarium to have treated, but from pneumonia, w.t The telegram was from Mr. E.

WRECK SUNDAY Four or five box cars on a through freight were wrecked here Sunday afternoon about 5 o'clock. The freight was going north at a good rate of speed and those at the crossing noticed a broken brake rod dangling under one of the cars. The train had not gone, 100 feet beyond the crossing when there was a shock and the cars rocked and twisted from the main, line to the Ashe boro train. The broken rod caught atjthe switch which threw some of the trucks off the track while some remained on the main line. The trail was stopped before consider able damage was done. STANDARD INCREASING The Standard Mirror Co. , under the management of Mr. Frank Wineskie, has given contract for an addition ot 100 feet to their plant. This will necessitate doubling the force oi hands which is already large. The Standard is among tne best plants in the country, well managed and is en joying a large custom. Mrs.4iarrington Dead.

W. Amick, of Liberty After reading the minutes of the pre vious meeting the college question was taken up. Prof. C, F. Tomlinson president Manufacturers Club, on be half of the citizens.offered $12,000 for the collie provided it was located at High Point. Liberty increased its donation to $6,000 and 30 acres land. All propositions were referred to the- committee which retired for deliberation. Next came reports of various com mittees which were adopted. At noon the Board of education brought in a report on the college matter recom mending an increase in the committee 8 to 14 and that this committee be empowered to locate the college. This report was adopted this after noon. THE COLLEGE MATTER In a short time after it was known that the proposition was open High Point signified its willingness to do nate $12,000 for the location here of the M. P. College. Our people are of one mind on this question ana we are satisfied that we will do more for the college than any other town in the State. The condi tions are peculiarly favorable for it and or people stand ready to con tribute. We want the college not only as a business investment, but as a town institution in which all of us regardless of church obligations will take an interest. As to the money consideration it will be forthcoming, whether it is $12,000 or twice that aiwunt. An outlook aa presents itself here for the permanent support of such an institution as well as its growth each year should not be lost sight of by our M. P. friends. It does not come once in a life time. We will not only give you money but life with it. Since 10 o'clock this morning we have met with six men who have offered a site. Mr. Corbett, W. C. Jones, Messrs, Barbee, Geo. Penny, J. H. Tate and others. 1 hen other citizens who were not at the meeting have signified their willingness to donate substantial amounts. Messrs. M. J. Wrenn, E. M. Armfield, J. J. Welch, R. F. Dal ton and a dozen more whose names we cannot recall. 85 Answer to their Names on First Roll Call.
