ALasiWord About tie North Caro lina College. Mb. Editor: Now on the eve of the meeting of the N. C. Luth eran synod, to decide the location of N C. College I feel impelled to say that the only possible obstacle in the way of securing the college for Salisbury is the insufficient amount of money we offer for it. If 3,000 or $4,000 more could be secured in a few days, and added to our bid, the way, in my judgment, would be absolutely clear. Other wise I doubt the probability of getting the college. The Synod would hardly be justified in mov ing the college to any place unless enough money can be offered to erect the main building; and the amount Salisbury offers will not do that. If we can raise the addi tional amount by next Tuesday, and supplement our bid we. can be sure of success. j Some parties have stated to the writer that they would double their subscription. Why not have a spontaneous concert of action at once,' and offer such inducements as will place the matter beyond peradventure? Why not have through the town papers a popu lar subscription in additiion to the amounts already subscribed? Let every man who will give more, as well as all others who have not so far subscribed, come out in to-morrow's or Friday's Sun, and say how. much he will give? It will be a calamity for the town to come so near success and yet fail. We will never have another such opportunity. L. E. Busby. Fresh Armour mutton and ten der beef at Jackson's market.
