NOTICE.
; The proprietors of the Visitor are
always anxious and willing to ac
commodate their patrons as far as it
can be done without detriment to the
interests of the paper, or injustice to
our friends. Our space is limited,
and in order to make the columns at
tractive, the matter should be as va
ried as possible! T he numerous nom
inations for official preference, thus
early in the campaign, will prove too
heavy on our columns for gratuitous
insertion, and, hence, we feel under
the necessity of adopting a scale of
rates for the insertion of such cards,
or communications. Hereafter a
charge of twenty-five cents an inch
(eight lines) or less, will be made for
such insertions.
RALEIGH, JUNE 17, 1890.
TRINITY COLLEGE.
Addresses of the Committee
Composed of President Crow
ell, Rev. E. A. Yates and
J. A. Gray, Esq.
The committee has published an
address, of which the following is a
synopsis:
The Trustees are desirous of making
the institution second to none in the
South.
The endowment of the college now
in sight is $85,000, with a strong pro
bability that it will be increased to
$200,000
The Trustees have appointed a
building committee to erect a three
story main building at a cost of not
less than $50,000.
This is to contain a main front of
200 feet long and 50 feet wide, with
two end wings extending 50 feet
back. With such dimensions, the
College will have at its disposal fa
cilities as far as room for housing and
instructing its students is concerned.
This new home of the college is to
"be in the magnificient plot of 62 acres
of ground, in tbe suburbs of Durham,
formerly known as Blackwell's Park.
This park is the gift cf Mr J S Carr.
The buildings will be ready and the
grounds put in order for the occu
pancy of the College by the begin
ning of September, 1891. At that
date the new era of the College will
be formally inaugurated by the ded
ication of the buildings with appro
priate ceremonies. A number of ed-
ucators from our own and other
States have already signified their
intention to be present on that occa
sion. In the meantime, the College, at its
present location in Randolph county,
will continue its work, giving its un
tiring attention to the development
of the twb departments of instruction
the Academic and Scholastic De
partments. After removal to Durham, an im
portant and necessary feature of our
educational work will be permanent
ly carried on in the buildings in Ran
dolph 'county, now occupied by the
College. 1 In accordance with the di
rection Of the Conference, a high
grade preparatory school will be per
manently established there. In order
to start this project under the most
favorable auspices.the College under
takes, in advance' of removal, to re
open a preparatory Department in
connection with the College. This
department will be open or $e re'
eeptlon of preparatory student at
the time of tbe opening of the Col
lege, September, 1890.
No better opportunity can be offer
ed for those who wish to prepare for
admission to College in 1891. The
best care will be taken to man it with
the best instructors that the authori
ties can command. The advantages of
Literary Societies, Libraries, and of
association with the older and more
advanced students, will be granted to
to all preparatory pupils to a proper
extent.
To those three interests let the
Conference look with increasing dili
gence: (1) the more liberal endow
ment of the College; (2) The patron
age and the building of preparatory
schools throughout the State, in
which pupils may be prepared for
College, and (3) The encourage
ment of young men to seek a collegi
ate education as a means to growth
of character and preparation for the
higher duties and services of life. For
the young men the College exists
with all its talent, endowment and
equipment, but the people must send
their sous or bestow of their means
to bring its benefits within the means
of the needy, in order to enjoy the
blessing of this gift.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr.
Wilmington Messenger.
Do you ask, what is our opinion of
Rev Thoinas Dixon, Jr, as a lecturer?
We answer: The very good criticism
in the local columns of the Messenger
of yesterday is so near the mark, as
we think, that we might refer to it
as a statement of what we think.
But we will in our own way and in as
few words as possible sum up our es
timate. Mr Dixon is less than thirty years
old, we believe. He is a Tar Heel
racy of the soil a genuine produc
t'on. Tall, lean, wiry, looking like
Abe Lincoln's picture, with a keen
eye, mobile and strong features, you
would take him for a man of mark at
a glance. He has been a student,has
reading and culture. He is a man of
observation, a student of books and
a student of men. He knows his fel
low man uncommonly well. He il
lustrates his theme finely "Back
bone." He is a brave man, perpen
dicular, with the courage of convic
tion and bold of speech. He has rid
icule, fun, language, imagination,
passion. His voice is penetrating and
sometimes a bit strident, but distinct
alwa s articulation, emphasis, into
nation admirable. He is the most
rapid speaker we ever heard. He can
pack away a marvellous amount of
thought, language, description rol
licking humor in an hour, more than
one of your tortoise paced fellows,
with nasal twang and solemn tones,
could roll out in a day.
Mr Dixon has mental force, mental
resource, and great reliance upon the
responsive character of his brain. It
does not fool him. He is evidently a
new power among North Carolinians
a new voice and not an echo. He
thinks. He is not afraid. He dares,
Sam Jones like, to call a spade a
spade, or to apply the cautery and
castigation when needed.
He is a born comedian a man of
genuine dramatic instincts and gifts.
The stage has lost a fine actor in a
man of God, consecrated to the great
work of doing good and trying to up
lift men to a higher plane. He would
have worn the buskins and the toga
with success, and from what we saw
we are not sure but that in tragedy
he would not have succeeded.In com
edy and burlesque he would have
been facile princeps.
He is not an orator in the ordinary
sense. He is eloquent sometimes.
But it is in description, in drollery,
in illustration, in caustic fun that he
is most successful. His lecture was
excellent. It was positively the most
interesting lecture we ever heard. It
was as amusing and entertaining as
a good comedy company could have
made the hour. And this too by one
man he is a man all through and
less than thirty.
We feel proud of Mr Dixon as a na
tive of our State. He is a man of
rare and singular promise. If he
lives he will attain to a name that
Will ring over the continent and be
come as familiar as household words.
We now understand how and why it
is he has made such a profound im
pression in Boston and New York
and in Maine. We have heard him.
Ton must always hear if yon would
J'idge.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr
Dixon socially, and found him very
pleasant to know We would be much
delighted to hear his other lectures,
As Nick Bottom tbe Weaver said -
"We desire yon of more acquaintance,
good Master Cobweb."
Long life, abundant usefulness.
troops of friends, laurels in abund
ance, profound piety, thorough con
secration to God. and manifold fruits
of righteousness are what we wish
for this strong young man so well en
dowed.
THE OLD NORTH STATE.
Winston Daily : Three prisoners
died at the stockade on the R & S
road, near Mayo river, a few day ago.
It is learned that two of the convicts
at another stockade are dangerously
ill.
Elizabeth City Carolinian: Keeper
E M Stanton reports that the inmates
of Pasquotank poor house numbei 35
14 white and 21 colored. The av
erage for the past year has been 23.
The people at Asheville have let
the authorities at Washington know
they are not going to answer the
questions put to them by a "stranger
under pay and by order of imperti
nent authorities at Washington."
The heaviest hail storm known in
Cleveland county passed over Moores
boro section the other afternoon.
Hail stones as large as hen eggs fell
damaging the growing crops severely
and killing many chickens.
Salisbury Watchman : Another
s-imi -annual 5 or 6 per cent dividend
on the Salisbury cotton mills is spo
ken of for July. Salisbury would be
in luck if she had from eight to eighty
more mills managed as this one is.
Weldon News: Good reports from
the crops still come ia. The seasons
have been satisfactory and the pros
pects for good harvests are bright.
All the cotton has been chopped out,
and there is no grass of any conse
quence. Corn and other crops are
also very promising.
Murfreesboro Index: W H Brown's
prize acre of corn at Menola, planted
the 12th of April, is said by a man
who has just been through seven
counties, to be far better than any
other he has seen. It is six feet high,
and looking across the rows it ap
pears to be a solid mass of living
green.

A unique specimen has been re
ceived by the anatomical museum of
Rome in the form of the body of
Joseph Catonio, the famous Italian
giant. Catonio was made porter to
King Louis Phillippe in 1845, when
he was described as being 7i feet tall
and as wearing a waist-belt capable
of serving as a belly band for a good
sized horse.
