Unknown Benefactor Will Give to

The Institution Will Raise
$20,000. Money to be Used
to Erect New Dormitory.
An interesting story comes by way
of Raleigh to t'ae effect that Dr. Henry
Louis Smith, president of Davidson
College, has received a conditional gift
of ?11,000 to that institution, the con
dition being that the college raise
$20,000.
This beneficent gift, it is said, will
be expended in the construction of a
new dormitory, and the conditional
3520,000 will be used to erect a building
to be such as the president may ad
vise. Dr. Smith, it is learned, declined to
state the name of the benefactor and it
is said the name will not be given out
until the $20,000 is raised by the insti
tution. Another interesting fact in connec
tion with Davidson College is that a
plan, originated by Dr. Smith, will net
the college about $17,000. He has
formed a club which has a large mem
bership. Each of the members contrib
utes to the college fund yearly $10.
Of the leading denominational col-
leges ot North Carolina, uaviason,
while very prosperous, is by far the

ried October 2, 1900, to Princess Eliza

They have two children, Prince Leo

He claims to have shown by com

in 1903, it has sold 35,000 gal

in the indictments now being tried. He
said on June 25, 1903, in Williams'
parlor, he was speaking of trying to
get promotion, when Williams replied
that he already had a splendid chance
to make ? 6,000 extra per year safe and
easy. Being asked how, he said Wil
liams said he would give me five cents
a gallon for every 25 barrel lot of whis
key we worked the government out of.
By his having clips, furnishing me
blanks for reports we could average
two such lots per week without excit

my part alone ?125 a week; that at

AMONG
AWYERS
DR. LAW'S LECTURE.
To Be Delivered in First Baptist
Church Monday Night.
A real treat is in store for the Bap
tists of Charlotte next Monday night.
Dr. Curtis Lee Laws, of Baltimore, will
at this time deliver his now famous
lecture on "Paris Its History, Its
Art, Its Architecture." Wherever this
lecture has been delivered the press
and public have been very generous
in their praise of both the speaker
and his theme.
Rev. George Scholl, D. D.. secretary
of the Foreign Mission Board of the
Lutheran Church, says:
"I certainly count it a very great
privilege to have heard the lecture of
Dr. Curtis Lee Laws on European
travel. The splendid pictures and
graphic descriptions carried me back
to the summer of '96, when I spent de
lightful weeks traveling over the same
territory. The next best thing to tak
ing a European trip one's self is to
hear these lectures, while to one who
has been fortunate enough to have
gone over the ground, these lectures
were equivalent to revisiting the cen
ters of historic interest. To most of
us the making of frequent trips abroad
is denied, but the opportunity to at
tend such a series of beautifully illus
trated lectures will go far toward rec
onciling one to the deprivation. For
my part I vould greatly enjoy taking
such a foreign tour at least once a
year if personally conducted by Dr.
Laws trom the lecture platform. If
these lectures are to be repeated in
our city this winter, I will certainly
take the tour again."

THE GONZALES MONUMENT
Shaft to Slain Editor to Be Unveiled
Next Week
The Columbia State says: The Gon
zales monument is now being erected
and the committee have the promise
that it will be completed by the 20th.
If this promise is fulfilled the commit
tee hope that they will be prepared to
have the unveiling ceremonies on.
Thursday the 23rd, at which time the
monument will be turned over to the
Mayor as the property of the city.
The monument is located in the cen
ter of East Senate street, near the in
tersection with Sumpter street, and
therefore fronting on the capitol
grounds. It is constructed of a gran
ite shaft twenty-five feet high, resting
upon a die four feet by four feet,
with a cap and plinth adding about
three feet to the height.
The die rests upon four separate
bases, which rise about six feet above
the sub-base, so that the entire height
of the monument is over forty feet, all
of Fairfield granite.
Upon the four faces of the die will
appear appropriate inscriptions. The
workmanship is in every respect ex
cellent and the monument will prove
an ornament to the city.
In a conversation a few days ago
with Mr Clark the president of the
Gonzales Monument Association, he
said that this monument was indeed
built by popular suubscription, since
subscriptions to the fund came from
every county in the State: that as a
tribute to the memory and .worth of
the deceased editor but as a silent
protest against the lawlessness now so
general in the State and a plea for
the return of the day when law will
oncce again be respected and .obeyed.
At a recent meeting of the executive
committee of the association Rev.
Samuel M. Smith, D. D. ,a close friend
of Mr Gonzales was selected to de
liver the address on the occasion of
the unveiling Bishop Capers will offer
the prayer, and Mayor Gibbes will ac
cept the monument on behalf af the
city. Mj. Clark, the president of the
association, will preside and introduce
the speakers. The date of unveiling
and the program will be hereafter
announced.
The regular monthly meeting of
the United Commercial Travelers will
be held in their hall on East Trade
