(By the Publicity Committee)
The people of Elizabeth City havi
heard a great deal concerning Chow-!
an College in recent months. They
have been told that the College1
which is now located at Murl'rees
boro is to be moved and located more
advantagiously than it is now. I
There is no further doubt that thej
College win ho moved. Several
places have been bidding for it. The1
place- must prominently mentioned!
are Aao-kie, Edeuliin and Elizabeth!
City. The opinion seems to pre
vail in the minds of those who are
Diii-t competent to give expression
relative to what will most likely
take place is, that the question re
duces itself to a choice between
Edenton and Elizabeth City The
chalices are that the college will be
moved to one of these two places,
and opinion seems to favor Elizabeth
City. The argument is made upon
"good and sufficient grounds that
it will be advantagious to the col
lege to he located in Elizabeth City.
All that is said favorable to Eden
ton can be said for Elizabeth City
and more too. Elizabeth City has
substantially the same advantages
to offer that Edenton has and some
additional ones.
At the present writing the people
of Elizabeth ('it v, including some
amounts from the adjoining coun
ties have pledged something like
sixty t linn -nnl dollars. This is not
pre.- ;on of whal people are j
