The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Strickland and Mr. S A.
Newell, attorney to the Board was
asked to state the object of the meet
ing which he did In a very clear and
Intelligent manner.
Mr. Benton, one of the architects
who had furnished plans, was asked
to explain to those present the con
dition of the jail and the estimated
costs of construction. He stated the
jail could not be put in shape in Its
condition and that a new Jail would
cost around $25, 000.00. He stated that
a court house with Jail on top could
be constructed and equipped for $150,
000.00 and that the building could be
constructed so as to eliminate the out
side noise. He stated the present court
house should be condemned on account
of the exits. He stated that Jail and
court house built together would re
duce the maintenance costs at least
fifty per cent.
Mr. M. S. Davis responded and ex
plained plans he had drawn for re
modeling the court house and stated
It would cost from $30,000.00 to $40,
000.00 to put them into effect.
Mr. D. F. McKinne was opposed to
building newj court house and Jail
combined. He was In favor of using
the present court house and building
as small and cheap Jail as is possible
to comply with the state law.
Dr. J. E. Malone wanted a place
provided for the Insane.
Dr. W. B. Morton raised the ques
tion from information that the pre
sent site of the court houBe was deeded
for the court house use only. This
was denied by attorneys who had
looked into the question. Dr. Morton
also suggested that an advisory com
mittee of one good business man
from eacji township be appointed to
consult with the board and determine
what is best to be done and report
back to another mass meeting to be
hfeld at an early date.
Mr. D. F. McKinne moved an amend
ment to Dr. Mortons motion that noth
ing be done without submitting the
question to a vote of the people.
Mr. W. M. Person was opposed to
making any change in the court house.
Mr. P. N. Egerton was opposed to
making any change that would put
any cost on the public.
Dr. Fleming suggested building the
jail near the fire house and allow the
town to join them and provide a lock
up.
Mr. George Poster, answering some
criticisms, reminded the meeting of
the fact that good people sometimes
were placed in Jail, that Jeff Davis,
the President of the Confederacy was
once Jailed, that the old Jail was rotten
and unfit for the confinement of hu
man beings.
Mr. W. H. Ruffin citos the law re
quiring the Commissioners to build
a Jail In answer to the suggestions
not to have a Jail.
Messrs. C. P. Harris and 8. A. New
ell presented their views after which
Mr. W. H .Ruffin moved that this meet
ing go on record as not favoring any
change or expenditure on the present
court house.
* In the Interest of time Dr. Morton
and Mr. McKinne withdrew their mo
tion and amendment and the motion
of Mr. Ruffin was carried unanimous
ly.
Mr. T. W. Ruffin spoke In the in
terest of an inexpensive Jail and mov
ed that the meeting approved the
construction of the most Inexpensive
Jail possible to comply with the Btate
law.

ty Commissioners appoint an advisory
committee as suggested by Dr. Mor
ton and that the committee and the
Boa I'd take up the question of a Joint

vide buildings at once which would
greatly Increase the attendance at the
collage otherwise It would be neces
sary within two years to close the
door*. President Mohn des<ylbed the
college which could be built on the
present foundation by the expenditure
of 1500.000. He showed how with this
start the college could soon build up
its resources to a million dollars or
more and provide accomodations tor
five hundred girls. This vision tor
Greater Loulsburg College proved an
Inspiring one tor those present.
The next speaker was Wm. H. Yar
borough, of Louisburg. who spoke
most eloquently on the subject of the
value of the college to Louisburg and
FranUln County. Mr. Yarborough paid
an Inspiring tribute to the women of
the past generation who were trained
In mind, and culture and character
at Ixwlsburg College. He called at
tention also to the new place which
I h } women of the futnre are to till
a* 4 the abaolute necessity ot provid
ing high class education ot ? Christian
t stare lor the girls ot thU generation.
Mr.. YatMrough's address was a per*
feci pies* ot eloquence and greatly
Interested and Inspired his hearers.
Chairman Ruffln called upon 'Rev.
A. D, Wilcox, of Wilmington, a mem
ber of the Board of Trustees, and
former pastor of the Methodist Church
of Louisburg. In behalf of the Trus
tees, Dr. Wilcox spoke of the_ plans
for bull'! in;.' a great college at
Louisburg. He told of the increasing
interest which the Methodists had
taken in the college during the past
two years and assured the people of
Frunkllr. County that If they should
raise their quota of $150,000 that the
interest of the Methodists would be
greatly Increased and that such action
on the part of Franklin County would
Inspire the Methodists to generosity
toward the college. First, the 20,000
Methodists of the North Carolina Con
ference. Second, President A. W. Mohn
whom he described as the man of the
hour who was furnishing the energy
and human leadership required In the
big undertaking of building a great
college. Third, the people of Louis
burg and Franklin County. These three
assets combined, he said, could make
Louisburg College Into the great
Junior College of North Carolina.
Following Dr. Wilcox's address the
workers were given Instructions re
garding the methods of the campaign.
Each worker secured the names of
the people whom she or he will solicit.
Early Tuesday morning they started
their solicitation with instructions to
meet for supper each night until July
10, making a report at the dally sup
per of the subscriptions which they

Madison Square Garden, ?w York,
jjuly &? William Glbbs McAdoo ran to
la new hiirh mark In tonight's balloting
I In the Democratic National Conven
tion. He passed the much sought goal
jof 500 Totes by dint of much frantic
work and persuasion and maneuvering
on the part of his floor manairers, who
declare*! they hadn't finished their
Stork yet.
SEAB RECORD
Running close to the IB and 41 ballot
record of the Baltimore and San Fran
cisco conventions, respectlrely, the
? Madison Square harden exhibition gave
promise of setting_u_ new murk. Mc
Adoo hit his high mark so far in the
I fortieth ballot, when he polled 1-2
votes. Smith at that time had dropped
a little below his high level, 323 1-2,
made on previous ballots. At the close
of the) thirtieth ballot last night Me
Adoo had stod at 115 1-2 votes. Thas
be gained nearly a hundred in today's
balloting and the votes he got were
taken principally from John W. Davis,
I who fell to <0 on the last ballot t?
! night.
RIOTOUS SCEXE
| The McAdoo people went Into to
night's session attempting to esti
mate what damage had been done to
I their cause by the riotous perform
! ance of the late afternoon session,
! when William Jennings Bryan preci
| pitated a tumult, with the approval
; of McAdoo. from the platform and
aroused criea o^"Oil."
At first there^wer-^ various predic
tions of what the effect might be at
the night session, but when the leaders
got outside and thought it over, it be
came apparent that the principal ef
fect of the Bry*j incident had been to
? solidify the Smith forces and to spur
.the McAdoo people on toa new effort.
journ while it was held there was their
first goal. They made it. To attain a
majority was their next goal. Whether
they can do that will be decided to
morrow.
THREAT OF ATTACK
Then in the offing lies a new threat
of an attack on the two-thirds rule
after the majority has been attained.
That issue remains to be clarified.
Ther^Js no authentic information con
cerning the McAdoo plans available
tonight.
The day's proceeding were full of
Incident and color. Twelve ballots
were the accomi^ishment of the two
sessions of the day. The desertion of
two rotes In the New York delegation
from Smith to McAdoo gave the Wc
Ado people all they wanted for a dem
onstration at the day $?ssion and the
sliding of Missouri and Oklahoma to
the McAdoo standards at the night
session famished the occasion tor the
demonstrations tonight.
BRYAN THE FEATURE
But the real feature of the day was
Bryan, as of old, getting the platform
to make a speech on pretense of ex
plaining his vote; launching an attaok
on big business and organised wealth,
and presenting a list of candidates
whom he considered available ? headed
