In urging completion of the Jefferson Davis shaft at Faii'view, Ky., the prosi dent general declared : "Jt rests wih us to see that K' (Davis) receives proper recoguit ion, -otherwise the history of the Sou'i will never lie correctly told. .It is hoped that 'The Life ami Letters of .leff'crso.i Davis,' now being published, will estab lish President Davis in his rightful pla " before the world.

DANIEL E RIIYNE OFFERS THE TRUSTEES OF LENOIR Wealthy Lincoln Cotton Mill Man Makes Conditional Offer. FINE GIFT FOR COLLEGE. Trustees May Change Name Of College To Daniel Rhyne College. HlfKOKV, Nov. 1 .".At i Of the North Catolina Synod meeting of the United Lutheran Church of Kings Mountain, J)r. O. H America at I'auukoke, of New Vork, today announced an addi tional gift of ,:!(H),ouo from Mr. Daniel E. Hhyne to Lenoir College on the con- J ditiou that the college raise a propor-j tiouate amount. i Dr. I'auukoke, who for some years has ! been prominently connected with the I Lutheran Kdiientioual Expansion, stated that Mr. Khyne's gift is the second! largest gift made by any Lutheran to the ' work of the Lutheran church and the largest gift ever received by the South ern Lutheran church. The board of directors of Lenoir Col lege recommended to the Synod that the name of the institution be changed lo "Daniel Khvnc College." This will be i I the first institution in the Lutheran church to be named after an individual benefactor. Daniel E. Hhyno is a native of North Carolina, a descendant from the old Palatinate stock. He was born (i!t years ago, in Mecklenburg county. He started with little education in the cotton mill business ami was markedly successful, lljs original mill properties, the Labora tory mills, outside of Lineoliiton, have become famous. For some years Mr. Khyne has taken a growing interest in Lenoir College ;uid the training of boys and girls not ikely in the ordinary run of life to secure an education, lit Itt.l'.t he gave Lenoir Col lege $1(10,0(111 on condition that a total of itiiiOU.UOO be raised. He has watched with keen interest the remarkable growth of the institution since that time. In making tin' gilt, he stated: "I feel that I can do nothing finer in mv life than to see that for years to come boys and girls of North Carolina have a chance for a Christian education, and I especially want to see that the poorer boys and girls receive such a chance. Our state has a splendid, future. I don 'v doubt but that it will be the leading state in the South. In order lo be thar we must not only make investments in material things, but we must now make investments in the far more important, things of Christian character ami train ing." Outside of Lenoir College, Mr. lihyne has done a great dial for Lutheran churches and other church enterprises throughout the South. His total gifts to tJie Lutheran church in the last four years are considerably beyond a half a million dollars. Elaborate plans are under way to de velop Lenoir College into one of tie' strongest, if not the strongest, Lutheran college in America. ir. Paiinkoke in announcing the gift to the isyhod said: "This gift -will enable Lenoir College to become the standard college of the Lutheran church in America. It means a statesmanlike development that will give tLcnoir a com manding position in our church. It h an appealing thought, to think that tie' South, considered poor by our northern church, should thus take the lead. "Inevitably, too, this development of Lenoir will advance the cause id' every Lutheran college. Christian education is the life and future of our church. We are just liegiuning to-realize us impor tance. Nothing could so have helped the band of men lighting for standards in the educational work of our church as this definite and uiilooked for advance in a section from which it was least ex pected. "For the Southern Lutheran chiircu this gift is historic. It means power, growth, influence in this important pe riod of the SSouth such as nothing else could have given. The houth has awak ened. It is advancing faster than any other part of our land. It will continue to do so. A church which does not lay the foundation now- to grow with that advance will be hopelessly left behind. Lenoir College is enabled to become a strategical center in the life and future of the Southern Lutheran church." LUTHERANS WILL TRY" TO RAISE 5600.COO J IirCKOHY, Nov. L. Announcement of the gift of .:;00.UOU to Lenoir College last night by .Daniel K. lihyne, Lincoln ton manufacturer and philanthropist. was followed today with a statement by f President John C.

Dr. Peery said, the church also would attempt to raise two hundred ami fifty thousand dollars as a building riud, giv ing the college 'plant a value of seven hundred thousand dollars. Dr. Peery, who is attending the synod at Kings Mountainii stated today over t lie long instance leiepnone tnat tlie l.u-j lliciun synod received news of the latest , Rhyne' gift with tremendous 'enthusiasm j and was prepared to support the college here liberally.
