TO REMOVE THE BUILDING.
Congressman Unney Trying to Take
the Public Building to Winston.
r
A letter received here today from
Congressman Kitchin conveys the in
formation that a dead set is being
made to have the public building" re
moved from here to Winston.
Congressman Linney left notice on
Congressman Kitchin desk an hour
before the hearing was to be had be
fore the committee on public buildings
and when Mr. K?itchin returned the
hearing was already over. However,
he has secured from the committee
promise of a rehearing with five days
notice and unless Greensboro wishes
to loose the building citizens here
should bestir themselves in the matter.
Messrs. Buxton, Holton and others of
Winston have gone on to Washington
where they appeared before the com
mittee and made argument in favor of
Winston.
Citizens here are requested by Con
gressman Kitchin to collect data at
once and forward to him or send on
a committee armed with facts and ar
guments if they wish to retain the pub
lic building. This matter should be
attended to at once.
There is absolutely no reason why
the public building should be tajren
from here to Winstoi, but the move
may be made for all that if only one
side is presented.
From every point of view Greens
boro is the more favorable location
for the building and it should be easy
to so convince the committee. Let
steps be taken once in the matter.
A delegation should be senttb Wash
ington to represent Greensboro before
the committee.

contest with Mr. Shaw the endorse

men to choose from Guilford should
be sure of the nomination to which she
