Enthusiastic Meeting at Academy of Music Tuesday Night. Friends of the Move Are Jubilant. The friends of the move for a Y. M. C. A. building for Durham are now rejoicing. Their efforts to raise funds for the erection of a building were successful beyond their mark. At the last moment a ten thousand dollar donation to the fund came in, making the total amount pledged for this purpose $46,180. mi i . m ine cnmax or tne campaign came with the mass meeting last Tuesday night when a goodly number of people ladies as well as gentlemen gathered in the Academy of Music to hear the final reports of the committees. There was a great deal of interest and enthusiasm and as the meet ing continued this enthusiasm increased. During the prelim inaries and talks it was announ ced from the audience that some gentlemen who had been out of the city wished to contribute $300. This was received with applause. Then the committees began to hand in their final re portand as each item was announ ced there was additional applause until the total for the last two days campaign amounted to $2,- 487, not including the $3000. In the meantime there was an incident that caused the wildest enthusiasm and applause. While Capt. E. J. Parrish was talking. and after he, as chairman of the central committee, had called for the-final reports, he pulled from his pocket a telegram that was addressed to Mr. George L. Lyon and came from New York. This telegram was from B. N. Duke and he said that he would subscribe $5,000 for himself and that his brother, J. B. Duke, had subscribed a like amount. This made a grand total of $46,180 for the campaign. It was then suggested, and will no doubt be done before the building is completed, that final total be made $50,000. It was happy scene and one that carried pride to every person. Not only were those so enthus iastic over the Y. M. C. A. propo sition proud that they had met with such success but all were proud of Durham, proud for the young men who will be benifitted by the move. THE BUILDING COMEITTEE.

Patton, Janes II. Southgate, J. E. Stagg and George W. Watts. This committee will now have charge of the matter of carrying to a successful end the erection of this building, which when com pleted will be a credit to the town. THE MASS MEETING. The meeting was called to or der by Capt. E. J. Parrish, chair mrn of the central committee, who, after the audience had join ed in singing "All Hail the Pow- m ft it er oi Jesus xame, cauea on Rev. E. R. Leyburn to lead in prayer. Then Capt. Parrish in troduced Mr. J. H. Southgate who made a talk in which he told of the great good such an institution would be here and then gave a history of the cam paign, from the time two years ago when Mr. G. W. Watts said that he would give $7,500 of $30, 000 for this purpose, or in other words one fourth. He followed it step3 until the time was ripe for work, at which time Gen. J. S. Crrr and Capt. E. J. Parrish, each very generously gave $3, 000 to the fund. He was followed by Capt. E. J. Parrish who made a talk in ... ... wnicn ne saw in his minds eye not only the $35,000 building asked for but a $50,000 building. He said that there had been more than six hundred contributors to this fund now in hand in the way of electees. Then he brought about the final climax by calling for the reports and reading the ten thousand dollar telegram. After the announcement of the audience joined in singing the doxology and Rev. C. J. Thompson, pastor of the First Baptist church, dismissed the audience. Benjamin Halliburton is here visiting relatives and friends for the first time in 24 years.

Walter Riddick, a negro, who is serving a term on the county road force, had his arm caught in the rock crusher one day this week, and was hurt so bad that his arm was amputated. He was sent to the roads for larceny and ! his time w juld have soon been out. Justice of the Peace J. E.

The amounts were small, and all the cases tried went against the rail road, and were appealed to the superior court. S. B. Burch, buyer for the W. A. Slater Company, is now on the northern markets, where he has gone to purchase a spring stock of goods, and it is needless to say that he will keep up the standard of high quality goods that has been the custom of the Slater company.

A committee was appointed to adjust matters relative to the keeping up of the road bed of the track, and will present at a later meeting an ordinance to that effect. .
