Very respectfully, THE THIRTIETH OF JANUARY Date fixed for Reopening The ' Normal College DIRECTORS ARE NOW IN SESSION Their Report on Their Findings in Regard to the Epidemic Will Likely be Made Tomorrow. Theboard of directors of the State Normal and Industrial College are now in session in this city. Their first meeting was held last night la the McAdoo parlors and the deliberations lasted far into the night. As a result of last night's meeting the announcement is made today that the college will be reopened on the 3 Oth day of this month. There was a long discussion aa to whether the college should open so early, some" 6f the members tbinklng,perhaps,that the risk waa was too great. We do not know who opposed or who favored an early opening; but all thinga considered, we think the decision a wise one. We do not propose to enter into a long argu ment in support of this view, but will quote j the words of a physician in answer to a qeation from the editor of this paper as to what he 'thought of the risk to be taken In an early open ing. He said in substance: "I think it will be as healthy a place as there la in North Carolina. The buildings have been thoroughly reno vated and fumigated, the beds burned, the plastered walla reoaloimined and whitewashed, all woodwork repainted, the infected wells filled up and every thing in the knowledge of science done to destroy the germs. I am decidedly of the opinion that it will be pe-fectly safe to reopen the college now at any time." That opinion Is a reasonable one, even to a layman. We believe the risk would not be lessened in any great degree by waiting, even until next fall. At that time, it would be most remarkable if there should devel op no cases of malaria among a large number of students from all parts of the state, and after the experiences just gone through, any kind of sick ness would not naturally cause appre hension. The board of directors, it will be re membered, have not made a report on the cause of the epidemic. The report of Dr. Lewis, of the sta'-e board of health, soma time ago, was merely a report of progress, and waa not passed upon by the directors, though lit some instances newspapers and individuals have seemed to regard it as the full and final report. Such is not the case. The directors are today working on their report, which will be in detail, and it is the Intention of the board, we believe, to deal plainly with the facts as they have been ascertained This should be their determination, and we be'leve it is. Their report will likely be given to the public tomorrow. FOUR MILLION DOLLARS. The Riverside Cotton Mills to In crease Capital Stock. Special to The Telegram. Danville, Jan. 12 It is announced here that the Riverside Cotton Mill Co., at a meeting of the directors, has authorized an increase of the capital stock from 12,000,000 to $4,000,000. It Is already one of the biggest mills in the south, and this increase, if carried out, will make it still greater. The scheme proposed and contem plated is the development of an Im mense water power four miles up the river and the erection of another mill.

The mass meeting which waa called for last night In the interests of the water works was addressed by a dozen or more of our leading men, including Mayor Cox, E. A. Snow, John A, Lindsay, O. N. Riehardson, W. F. Pickett, Dr. Stanton and Rev. J. B Richardson. All of the arguments showed conclusively that it would be of great advantage for the city to own the water works. From conservative estimates it waa demonstrated that in all probability the system would be a source of revenue. Right here we want to say that all those who have it in their beads that water works will Increase taxation to stop and think, and hear what conservative men have to say In this regard. It can and will be made self-sustaining to say the least. The argument of Rev. Rich ardson, from a working man's stand point, waa convincing aa to the bene fits derived by all classes.

No Chance to Save the Crew or Pas sengers of the Vessel. Bj Cable to the Telegram St. John, Jan. 12 The unknown steamer, which ia stranded on a reef near St. Mary's bay, waa still burn ing at daybreak this morning. There s danger of her pounding to pieces, as immense waves are sweeping over her. The weather is so heavy that it is im possible to make out the name on the stem of the burning ship. The flames are slill raging fiercely despite the fact that waves are sweeping over the ves sel. It would be useless to attempt to rescue anybody. Several of the pas sengers and crew have already washed overboard and survivors are seen lashed to the rigging. Wrecking steamers have left here In the hope of saving somebody but there is little hope felt because death from exposure is inevitable should the flames not reach them. Later No steamer can leave for the wreck until this afternoon. The colon ial cruiser Fiona Bay and the steamer Kite will be sent from Placentla Bay as soon as possible. Steamers leav in? here today cannot reach St. Ma ry's Bay before tomorrow. The last report says the outlines of the wrecked vessel can be seen in driving snow storm and the forma of men in the rigging covered with ice. It is probable that they have cince died of cold. The temperature is sev eral degrees below zero. Now on Sale. Sometime ago we stated that Gris aom & Fordham would handle "The Water of Life" from Mt. Vernon Springs.

S poclal to THE TELEGRAM. Washington, Jan. 12 Representa tive Bellamy, who, as reported the other day has introduced a bill In the house of representatives, aimed at the paper trust of the country, is receiv ing considerable support. The bill, if passed by congress would be a direct blow to the trust, which has been en abled by the duty to keep up high prices on paper. The removal of the entire duty on wood pulp, and the re duction of the duty on manufactured paper 50 per cent, as the measure pro posed, would do much toward break ing up the present combination exist ing. The paper trust, it is needles to say, is fighting the removal of the duty on wood pulp and the reduction of the duty on manufactured paper, tooth and nail, but the sentiment in the house in favor of .the passage of the bill is found to be very great. The southern members of congress, includ ing, it is believed, the entire South Carolina, Worth Carolina, Vlrglna and Texas delegations are in favor of Mr. Bellamy's measure. The measure is especially in the interest of rural newspapers, and is receiving a large support from that quarter. The sen timent in favor of this, or some bill similar to that of Mr. Bellamy's meas is not found alone on the democratic side of the house. At leaat one repub lican in the houe, Mr. Tompklna, of New York state, has declared himself in favor of the removal of the duty on ood pulp. He goes further eventhan does the proposed measure of Mr. Bellamy, and says he would like to see the entire duty on manufactured paper removed, if possible. Other re publicans in the house, some of them otherwise strong protectionists, com ing from the rural districts, are being be&eiged by their constituents to sup port the bill, and many of them are declaring themselves in its favor. It begins to look as if the sentiment in the house might become strong enough to compel the reporting of the bill from the ways and means commit tee of the house, where it is now pend ing, and its passage throu; h the house of representatives. If the bill of Mr. Bellamy -should pass the house, a strong effort would be made to secure its passage through the senate. Ex-President Cleveland passed through Washington the other night. He was on his way south, and stopped over only long enough to make the proper railway connections.
