Some of the papers had a good deal to say about the sal ary that he was to get; that everything considered his salary at Oxford was more than he woujd receive as presi dent of the Greensboro College; that his main desire was not tov grasp after the filthy lucre in this world, but to lay up treasure above. He said that he had been right much scattered for about seven years, and sometimes. did not know whether he was. a Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist or Episcopalian; for he had preached in every one of those church es; but that hehad gotten back in his old clothes and felt at home where he expected to devote the rest of his life doing all the good he could for his fel low-man. He then proceeded to tell of the improvements that are to be made in the college buildings; that - it was to be heated with steam; a steam laundry is to be added, bathrooms are to be placed in the building, and every thing now needed to thoroughly equip it as one of the first educational institutions of the Southland that in the near future they would ad(J to theirj regular course of teaching a domestic system, such as cooking,' sewing, &q., ned,' to fully equip a young lady for the du i3thFties of life. .
