The Meeting Largely Attended High Regard Expressed lor Prof. Hoiladay and Committee Named to Draft Resolutions. The announcement in The Post of -last Sunday that the election of Dr. (Joorge T. Winston as president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College was' being strongly urged by promi nent members of the board, of trustees of thedns'tiiMiltion, was re-ad .wd'th mueli interest all over the State. At a largely attended meeting of the students of the A. and M. College last evening Dr. Winston was unanimously 'declared the choice of the student body for the presidency of the institu tion, and a eomniiirtee was named. to draw up resolutions memorializing the trustees to elect him to the presidency. A member of the board stated yes terclay that from information he had received the trustees would undoubt- edlv tender Dr. Winston the presiden cy. He stated also that he believed Dr. Winston would accept. At the- mass-meetting last night the 'students of the college expressed their high regard for Professor Hoiladay, and their regret that he. is to retire. A committee was named to frame suit able resolutions expressing the senti ment of the meeting. The mass-meet ing was presided over by Mr C.s B. Wlilliams, of Elizabeth City Mr. Ed. Wood, of Edenton, acted as secretary. It was started that every boarding student was present The committee appointed to make a s, lioiiipiit of the action of the stu dents furnished The Post with the fol low-in? last evening: "Ait a m'ass nieeitingcf tlhe students of the A. & M. College held last even ing much interest was manifested in the election of a president for the col lege, which is soon to take place, siuce Colonel Hoiladay has decided to re- ' ''All of ithe student "have helid la mosft hijrli regard for President Hoiladay, and all are keenly regretful of the fact, that he is soon to leave the inatitu tiou, Which he has been connected with for the last ten years, and; Which under his direction has come from nothinir. as it were, to a . high place .humnrr rmr State institutions. In the dark da vs of its you'tih he has ably nniioM thp nnlloiffp. and since in his declining years he has seen fit to re 'sisrn, the students of the A. & M. Col lege thought it well to offer him -some slight token of their apprecialtoou. "A eonuniittee was appointed there lore to tirait resunuwuis, caiiucootu,, the' feelings ffliat the students of the cnllecre have so long borne toward him. In his connectiion ; with the col- lose he has always been zealously .ilive tn her interests, and has been the chief promoter of the students welfare. "But sad as t is for the students of the A. & M. College to part with Colonel Hoiladay, still they were alive to the future interests of the college, and all honed tihM a successor would be elecited to Oolonel Hoiladay who would bear up the present reputation of the college and do greater things for her in the future, since -s'he is out of the swaddling clothes of infancy "But fortunately one Quas arisen, from - the students' points of view, to hi this high position and raise tihe A. & M. College to a still higher plane than she has hitherto been able to attain Without any disrespect to any of the prospective candidates, yet .there was one, to the students' eye, who seemed head and shoulders above all of the others. This one is no other than Dr Winston, now president of the Univer sitv of Texasand wtho loves the land of his bintfli well enoiigli to return to it for a more meagre compensation than that which he now. receives. Dr Winston has long been connected with the educational advancement of the South. In fact, he more than any otiher man has aided the camse of pop ular education m tttms State, lie is really the one. who gave it its first great impulse. He raised the Univer sity of North Carolina to the frout rank of Sou'tiiero universities, and is now doing the same for the Univer sitv of Texas. A polished gentleman, a great scolar, an accomplished ora-J tor, he is regarded by the A. & M. students as being pre-eminently above any of our educa'tional leaders. 'They think they do 'not err :n "holding up his interests, for -tiheycan see his in terests to be thedrs "So a cammittee wlas .appolnfted to draft a memorial to the Board of Di rectors, asking . them to elect Dr Winston to the presidency of the Col lege, feeliing that under Ms guidance tlhe college would not only sustain its present reputation, but rise to even greater tilings in time to come. If past success is any criterion of future welfare, the students realize that un der his administration the North Caro lina College of Agriculture and Me chanic Arts would rise to her place among tihe land grant colleges and be The Crab tree Boys and Josh Borland -Lono D stance Telephone Features ol Com mencement Week at Trinity. Durham, May 27.-Special. The con dition of Josh Borland, the negro who -was shot near University Station yes terday by Dave and Edgar Crabtree, is some better today, and the attending pnysicxans do not -think his wounds will prove fatal. From tlie best in formation obtainable at this time it seems that the s'hooting was done with very little if any provocation. It seems that the negro had obtained permission from the Southern Railway people to plant some corn on some land of the ram way rightf-way. The Crabtree boys objected to Borland planting the corn, and yesterday they began to plough and. dig up Borland's corn and plant some themselves. The negro heard, of this, and went to the field to warn them to quit destroying his crop This made the Crabtree boys angry, and they used a hoe and then their ,mn uii nonaim wum tne results as told in this morning's Post. The Crab tree men are under arrest and are be ing held to await the results of Bor land's injures. The remains of little Charles, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E.'
