LOUISBURG GROUP RAISES
M FIRST DAY'S CANVAS
Attainment $10,000 Goal Is Indicated
Local Crews Begun Canvassing Monday Morning With |
Total Gifts and Subscriptions, Including Some Ad- i
v^nce Gifts Totaling $1,935.00
At the close of the first day of
actual canvassing in the field by
the Louisburg division of the'
Franklin County> organization in
the Louisburg College Forward
Movement Program, the total col
lections, including some advance
items of tlte past week, amounted
to $1,985.00 or approximately
$2,000.00.
This total, which includes both
subscriptions and cash items, be
speaks well for the success of the
Franklin County part of the Pro
gram. With some half a dozen'
, or more teams in the field in this
area and in and around Frank
linton and Youngs viile there is
every indication that 'Franklin
County's quota of $10,000 will be
attained.
While some advanced gifts (
work was done before this week,!
intensive work began Monday]
morning at nine o'clock when un-j
der the direction of E. H. Maloue
and W. R. Mills, member of the
Board of Trustees and Franklin,1
County general chairman respec
tively, several crews of tWo ''or
three persons were sent into the
field within the vicinity of Louis
burg. Although the day was
cloudy, as all days have beeh so
far this week, much good w6rk
was done and the crews met at
the College to eat aiul to hold a
joint discussion at seven o'clock.
The response reported by the
groups at work has been very
good on the whole and indicates
that as ?always the people of
Louisburg and Franklin County
are behind Louisburg College and
are determined so far as they are
* concerned that it shall not die.
In" next week's issue a complete
report up to that time will be
made and it is indicated that the
. , , full quota will' be attained or ap
? proximately so by that time.
Colored l't-ople Behind Program
Under the leadership of Rev.
George C. Pollard, local minister
of the Louisburg Episcopal
church, the colored people of
Louisburg and surrounding terri
tory are setting up their own or
ganization to raise & quota they
will set up.,as their contribution
to Franklin County's efforts to
help Louisburg College raise
$100,000 and thus keep its door3
open.
Tha movement on the part of
the local colored citizens is en
tirely spontaneous and was in
spired in large measure by the
leadership of Rev. Pollard. They
indicated that they did not want
to be left out of this great civic
enterprise and expressed willing
ness and eagerness to do their
part.
Under Rev. Pollard's guidance
local units of workers are being
set up and they plan to canvass
all the colored citizens of the
town, and possibly, extend their
efforts into surrounding Franklin
County territory.

Senator Bailey
And The Mails
Washington. July 28. ? Senator
Bailey,. Democrat. North Carolina
said today -iii a minority report on
the recent Senate Postoffice Com- }
mittee inquiry into mail handling
during the st'eel strike that the
"army itself should have been call
ed -out" to protect mail deliveries.
The North parollna Senator
said that when the Postoffice De- j
partment decided it was unsafe to I
deliver ma.il to strike-bound Ohio
steel plafits, its "clear duty" was j
to "call upon the Department of j
Justice for means of preserving j
the law. ?nd thereafter upon the 1
President" to exercise the full' j
power of tihe government.
"The Army itself should have !
been called out in order that the
mail might be carried," he assert
ed. "It it be said that such a
course might have caused blood
shed. the answer is that any other
course is likely to cause more
bloodshed." >
Second to Dis9ent.
Senator Bailey became the sec
ond member of the Senate Post
office Cohimittee to dissent from
the report of that committee in
exonerating t'he Postoffice Depart
ment from improper conduct in
connection with its refusal to de
liver what was classified an ab
normal mail in the recent steel
strikes.
The committee filed a brief re
port on July 8 and Senator H.

$2,000 GIFT RECEIVED !
As we go to press news is re
reived of a $2,000 Rift to the
l.ouisburg College Forward
Movement Program by a proin
inent layman in the X. C,
.Methodist Church Conference.
With actual canvassing in the
field beginnings throughout the
length and breadth of the N. C.
Methodist Conference Monday
morning in the Louisburg College
Forward Movement Program and "
with only a comparatively few
scattering reports in at' the time
this is written it is not. possible
?to indicate the $100,000 goal of
the Program has been attained.
However, on the basis of the
returns now in local church
groups in every part of the N. C.
Conference are at work in dead
earnest and a fine response is be
ing had. Up to this time reports
have come In from places at the
four extremes of the Conference
and while these reports are by
trecessity partial at present, all of
them are very encouraging and
indicate that when the full re
ports are in the goal will have
been reached or substantially so,
or possibly even exceeded.
A few large gift3 of several
hundred dollars and a few in the
thousands have been ' reported
and seVeral of the churches send
ing in partial reports have set
their goals a* $1,000. $1,500,
$2,000 and $2,500 and say that
they are out to reach them.
Very encouraging reports have
come in from Zebu Ion-Wendell

Stantonsburg, -Aberdeen- Vass, -Au- ,
lander, Mt. Gilead. Raeford, Lum
berton, Grace Stre'et Wilmington,
Hay Street in Fayetteville, Eliza
beth City, Henderson. Hertford,
and other centers.
An encouraging aspect of the
Movement is the additional re
quests for material and informa
tion now coming in in such vol
ume just after the actual canvass
ing was launched a few days ago
in the Conference.
A very fine letter from Mrs. A.
M. Gates, of Durham, and Mrs.
