The Meetings Last Night.
Two very important meetings took
place last night. At the request of
Rev. J. B. Boone, financial agent of
the Baptis Female University, there
was a meeting held in the Mayor's of
fice for the purpose of discussing the
financial question in connection with
the proposed subscription for locating
the institution at Raleigh. We regret
to say that there was a slim atten
dance and the proceedings were not
of the most encouraging character
for the object in view. Mr. F. H.
Briggs presided and the object of the
meeting was explained by Mr. W. N.
Jones. He said that only $21,000 of
the amount of $30,CO0 had been
secured.
Mr. N. B. Broughton suggested in
view of the small number of persons
present, that the meeting adjourn to
some future time.
Mr. Jas. Briggs said that he desired
the entire matter to be referred to
the Chamber of Commerce ou the
2nd Tuesday in September.
Maj. Vass objected. He said that
the Baptists should depend mainly
upon themselves in this matter. He
knew that Kaleigh was by far the
most suitable location for the Uni
versity and the denomination was
agreed upon this point; therefore it
was time to use the money subscribed
in Raleigh and then take the cause
to the Baptist State Convention and
prepare for a thorough canvass of
the denomination throughout the
State for the additional funds needed.
Mr. Broughton, in view of the situ
ation, advised that a complete sur-
lender of the institution be made by
the Baptists of Raleigh to the Trus
tees at their meeting nest Monday so
that the Trustees should be fully re
lieved of all obligation to locate the
University in Raleigh. Raleigh is the
most suitable place for the school,
and no doubt.it will be finally located
here, and then much more money
would raised than has yet been sub
scribed.
Dr. Boone said that in making his
canvass of the city he had found but
a few Baptists who really desired the
school here, and a large number were
indifferent. Some were absolutely
opposed to having it in Raleigh.
Maj. Vass said the mistake was in
putting the University up to the
highest bidder.
Hon. John C. Scarborough said
that if Raleigh should now fail to
raise the necessary money the Uni
versity would be a dead thing in the
State The Baptists of this city cannot
afford to kill this school because they
will not raise the insignificant sum of
$8,000. We ought very seriously to
consider this question and ask our,
selves if we can consent to let the
Baptist women of the future suffer
because we let this University die on
our hands. Let us put our hands
again in our pockets, pay the money,
put the University firmly ou its feet
and encourage it onward to prosperity.
Dr. K. P. Battle, Jr., thought the
canvass should be renewed.
Mr. Jas. Briggs insisted on referring
it to the Chamber of Commprcs1.
Mr. W. H Pacfl said that the Com
mittee had not done their duty in
canvassing as he kuew that numbers
of people iu Raleigh who were willing
to subscribe to the institution. The
Committee of the Baptists and Cham
ber of Commerce should work togeth
er in the matter and they will find no
difficulty in securing the necessary
funds. The whole city of Raleigh
should take hold of this matter and
not the Baptists alone.
On motion of Mr James Briggs the
Baptist Committee was instructed to
submit the whole matter to the
Chamber of Commerce on next Tues
day night aud ask what they pro
posed to do with the Baptist University.
Dr. J. J. Hall did not want too
hasty action but every effort must be
made to save this University and save
it to the city of Raleigh. He felt cer
tain that the institution would le
eventually located in Raleigh e'-en
though the full amount should not be
raised at this time.
The following Committee was ap
pointed to make au immediate can
vass: W. N. Jones, W. 8. Primrose,
R. 8. Pullen, K. P. Battle, Jr., R B.
' Raney. This Committee to report to

Our Bicyclist Abroad.
We are authorized to make the fol
lowing extracts from a letter from
our young friend Will Wynne, to a
gentleman in Raleigh, dated Bostou
Mass., Aug. 26, 1801.
"I called on the Pope Manufactur
ing Company, and they are carried
away with my trip, especially the
President, Col. Pope. He insisted on
my giving an exhibition so I did
not refuse. It comes off next Satur
day afternoon. I went into Colonel
Pope's office and introduced myself,
told him I was champion of the world
and had ridden from Raleigh, N. C,
in ten and a half days. He intro
duced me to all the clerks, exnuiined
my machine and told the clerks to give
me a new saddle. Asked me if 1 had
any objection in telling reporters
about my trip. I told him no, so you
may look out for the Boston papers. I
leave for Maine tomorrow and will re
turn here Saturday for the exhibit.
Will start home Sunday by steamer
to Norfolk or Wilmington I think."
A rousing reception is in contem
plation for ''Will" when he returns.
