Double the Nvimber of Paid Subscribers in Raleigh of .ny Other Newspaper, MEREDITH COLLEGE ENDOWMENT f UNO OF 150.000 IS Raleigh Institution For Women Has Complied With the Terms of General Education Board, Which Appro priated $50,000 For Worthy Purpose I RAISED BY FRIENDS On July 1 College Hurt Succeeded id, Securing Subscriptions to Kimble It to Claim Donation ami Make Endowment Fund $1."0,00( IManned to Enlarge Plant Hew O. J. Thompson in Charge of Campaign Which Was Pressed Aggressively for Year Endow ment Means More Than Simply Securing Funds to Run College. The endowment fund of $150,000 for Meredith College lias been raised. This announcement will be re ceived by Baptist and other friends of education with gladness through out the state, for It means that the splendid college for women will not only maintain its high standard, but that It will greatly increase its use fulness; that the plant will be en larged and new teachers added and that more girls will be educated. In December, 1910, the campaign for the endowment was launched at the Baptist state convention, at Hendersonvllle. The general educa tion board had appropriated $50,000 conditional on the friends- of the in stitution freelug It from debt and at the same time contributing $100, 000. This was done and on July 1, last, every cent was raised. The in debtedness amounted to $14,000, and this was cleared, making the total raised by friends of the insti tution amount to $114,000. Rev. C, J. Thompson, formerly of Atlanta, but a native of North Caro lina, and Mr. O. E. Lineberry, were in charge of the campaign, which was aggressively pressed for a year. More people were seen than in any other educational campaign in this state, and more contributions were secured than ever before. Dr. Vann, the president, was very successful in raising a large sum and co-operated with the financial agents. This means that the notes, which arefor one, two and three- years, will be more easily collected and that the college will have more friends. In terest in the college will be increased proportionately to the numbers of persons who have helped make it greater, and In years to come the institution will draw students from these friends. Object of Endowment. The chief object In trying to raise If ' Si 7! ' ' . t - - ,mmm Lady Marjorie Manners, eldest daughter of tlio Ihike and Duchess of Rutland, who 1 at lat really and truly engaged. Her betrothal luui hern officially announced, in London to the Marquis of Anglesey. Many reports have had the fair lady en gaged to humr eligible and some un attainable . "parti res," but if noth ing unforeseen come ' up she will really marry the- Marquis, the endowment was to meet current expenses without increasing the cost of tuition and board to the students. The college has an expensive facul ty. Specialists are at the head 'of every department, and the income from the students was not sufficient to meet the needs and to make pos sible a necessary enlargement. To Erect Other Ituililings, It is proposed to erect other buildings as soon as possible. The endowment fund cannot be used for this purpose, but it is hoped that the money will be forthcoming from other sources. Mr. Thompson, after rendering most efficient service for Meredith College, becomes district secretary of the foreign mission board, and it is hoped by his many friends that his headquarters will be In Raleigh. Mr. Lineberry, who is secretary of the Baptist state convention, will have in hand the collection of the contributions. $r00,000 Endowment. Wake Forest College, the institu tion maintained by the Baptists for men, has an endowment of $500,000, which was raised a few years ago. Dr. W. l-i. Poteat is president of Wake Forest College, and Dr. R. T. Vann is president of Meredith Col lege. , ALVAREZ IS M WANTED Cuban Serving Term In In diana Reformatory Wanted In This State (Special to The Times.) Statesville, July 9. There is now no doubt that the Alvarez serving a term in the reformatory at Jeffer sonville, lhd., for forgery is Fran cisco Alvarez, the Cuban wanted in Statesville and Charlotte for passing worthless checks to the amount of about $300, a few months ago. Mr. C. V. Henkell, of Statesville, who has been spending two weeks at West Borden, Ind., went over to Jeffersonville, visited the reforma tory and immediately Identified the Cuban, wiring Cashier Pegram, of the First National Bank, to that ef fect. This means that when Al varez finishes his term at the re formatory he will be brought here for trial. The Statesvillo Ministerial Asso ciation held an important meeting yesterday, at which various public matters, especially general evils, were discussed and remedies consid ered, but no definite action was iaken in any public matter. The wrestling match; which has become a favorite and frequent amusement in Statesville, was de nounced as brutal and demoralizing, and it was pointed out that States ville, Charlotte and Asheville are the only towns In the state which allow such events. The last match here was very brutal and rough and this aroused considerable sentiment against the sport. It is understood that a puglistlc contest is on the program for the near future. The 2-year-old baby of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Link, who live east of town, died yesterday. . Dr. C. F. Reid, secretary of the Laymen's Missionary Movement of the Southern Methodist Church, was a special speaker at Broad Street church, of Statesville, Sunday, and a great congregation heard him. His Bubject was the touch of Christ as It affects the individual and the na tion, and the effect of Christianity on China, where Mr. Reid was for seventeen years engaged in mission work, was told to illustrate the point. Dr. Reid is a pulpit oratr of unusual ability, and being a deep thinker his addresses are eloquent and Inspiring. His visit to States ville was a special treat to the Meth odists and all who heard him. Rev. Dr. Charles Anderson has arrived from Russellvllle, Ky., and preached his first sermon as pastor of the First Baptist cnurcn, or Statesville. Sunday morning. In his Introductory remarks Mr. Anderson said that he had come to Statesville church not to advance new customs and Ideas, but to adopt himself to existing customs, that he will "be a member of the church as well as pastor, and a citizen of the town as much interested in its weirare com mercially, morally and In every oth er way as any other citizen." Both sermons Sunday were excellent ones, and Dr. Anderson has already won the church membership, which is universally, pleased with blm.
