An Increased Endowment for Trinity.
Durham, N. C, July 15. An ef
fort is nov being inf.de to add one
million dollars to the endowment of
Trinity College. This endowment
took definite shape when about a
year and a half ago the General. Ed
ucation Board of New York offered
to contribute one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars of this amount if
the college would raise the balance.
Eight hundred ar.d fifty thousand
dollars have already been pledged
on condition that the college obtain
by December 31st of this year sub
scriptions for the remaining hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.
The subscriptions may" be paid in
five equal annual installments, the
first to be made on or before Janu
ary 31, 1913, and the last not later
than January 31, 1917. The sub
scriptions may go to the general en
dowment fund of the college or they
may be designated for special uses
like the establishment of scholar
ships, special collections in the libra
ry, or the maintenance of the col
lege in any of its departments.
Whenever desired the donations will
be kept as separate funds, thus pre
serving the identity of the gifts as
well as perpetuating the names of
the givers. District committees are
being organized in the chief centers
of population and the campaign is
on througeout the State. It means
so much for the cause of Southern
education that it must of course
succeed.
Good Roads Meet in Charlotte Aug. 2.
Chapel Hill, July 11. We would
like to call the attention of all North
Carolinians who are interested in the
Stale's progress and development to
the Annual Convention of the North
Carolina Good Roads Association
which is to be held in Charlotte
August 1 and 2. Already a large
number of delegates have been ap
pointed to this convention,' and it is
expected that a large number will
attend. Automobile runs are being
arranged from our larger cities. It
is expected that the Governor will
be present, and Senators Overman
and Simmons, who will discuss the
building of roads from Federal
standpoint; Hon. John H. Small,
and at least one thousand good road
enthusias's from all parts of North
Carolina who are earnest in their ef
forts to get the State out of the old
ruts of unprogressiveness, which
has cost and is costing the citizens
of the State such vast surn3. Every
cicizen of the State interested in its
progress and the achievement of the
fundamental conditions to progress
good roads, is invited to attend as
a delegate.

OLD HICKORY CHIPS.
A General Mixture Designed for The
Busy Readers.
May he the Colonel will be just
paradoxical enough to make a losing
fight.
Being in office as well as in the
Republican party, Governor Hadley
announced that he will stay where
he is.
The President and the ex-President
each wished the nomination;
each ha3 one. Everybody ought to
be happy, and the Democrats are.
Doubtless the Republic of Colum
bia from which Teddy "took" the
canal strip, would be interested in
that platform plant, "Thou shalt
not steal."
Colonel Roosevelt is quoted as
saying, "If the people want a pro
gressive party I'll be in it." Wasn't
the word "in" inserted by a careless
stenographer?
Mr. Roosevelt is now at work on
a little steam roller of hi.? own.
Only the whistle has been gotten
into working order so far.
Before the season is over doubt
less it will be referred to as the
Moosevelt party.
Unless the Colonel deliberately
ignores the Socialists and Prohibi
tionists he'll have to be content with
the fifth place.
What's the proper way to wear
the red bandanna as a sling?
The New York Evening Mail hears
that Baltimore is slowly "getting
over its headache." Anyway the
New York delegation didn't have to
give it to us.
The number of Democrats is now
increasing as fast as the space on
the band wagon will permit.
One Oklahoma man has a family
of twenty children, and they are all
for Wilson.
Wilson's nomination means that
it is more than a prairie fire this
year.
Taft stole Teddy's delegates and
Teddy is trying to steal Taft's elec
tors.
Teddy wants to run on a plat
form of "Thou shalt not steal."
Why not put it, "Neither of us shall
steal.'' "Thou" is rather limited.
The Woodrow Wilson smile is the
latest production of the political
camera. .
If it growls it is the Tammany
tiger. If it purrs it is from Prince
ton. It seems to be the progressives
who are hatching up a scheme for
the recall of both Taft and Roose
velt. The most ingenious theory that
any Republican is trying to comfort
himself with is that the Roosevelt
movement will send conservative
Democrats over to Taft. It's a des
perate situation that inspires that
delusive hope.
Self-made men must look to their
laurels now that Uncle Sam mani
fests so strong a disposition to
choose his Presidents from among
the college bred.
According to a press dispatch
President Taft is "enjoying his va
cation," Perhaps it would be more
precise to say that he is "having his
vacation."
One advantage of having a third
term party convention would be in
avoiding the necessity for any ohcr
form of amusement this season.
Sea Girt, N. J., is the American
centre of sanity and optimism.
The young man who aspires to be
Governor of New York is commend
ed to the people on the ground that
he neither drinks nor smokes. A
crank on economy.
A mutt is a man who always hogs
it when he gets a chance to laugh.
Nothing goes faster than a vaca
tion except vacation money.
It is now said that hobble skirts
were worn in Bible times. Lot's
wife didn't wear one or she couldn't
have turned around.
Uneasy lies the head that hopes to
wear a crown.
Mr. Taft and Mr. Sherman may as
well order tombstones for their po
litical grave yard.
As for the Democrats, will they
please do their best? They can
carry 40 out of 48 States for Wilson
by a strong pull.
