KBMUTH oi iub ousiness element oi Charlotte, can secure for her this much coveted prize the Lutheran college." Rev. Messrs. King and Fisher were present, and were asked to make a state ment to the people in regard to the col lege. Mr. Kins: said: "It is our rur- pose to establish a school, the build ings and equipments costing between 50.000 and STS-fti) Thar- . umI sites that have been offered us here that we use, out we cannot say anything as to our acceptance or rejection of your offer.- Columbia has claims on us. The movement was first started there, and we have promised to give her a fair howinfr -with &n' nt, . a QKa has promised, in turn, tha if Charlotte snouia mue a rjetter oner than she, she will vield the flirht and o co-operation to the college." Mr. Fisher said he had been engaged in school teaching seven years in North Carolina. "There is no doubt," said he, "that the college will be built, and that it will be located somewhere in North or South Carolina, and that it will surely be in operation September year. The movement is backed by the Synod of the South, and we have re ceived assurances from our moat nrom- inent pastors and colleges that the whole United Synod will be behind us. It is Dartlv a Deraonal enterprise between Mr. King and mvself. We have the money to go ahead and build, and we will manage the school for a term of 15 years. At the end of that time we will say to the Synod, 'here is your school; if you approve of us and our plans continue us in charge; if not, take the school and manage it as you think best, and we will be perfectly sat- a t mi ueu.. mere are, as you know, a great manv advantages to accrue tmm ni. lege of this kind. First intellectual. and then financial. One hundred pupils would put into circulation here at least 125,000 a year, and 200 pupils, which we expect to have, toO.000. Another thing to be considered is this: Mr. Kin knows a ereat manv Northern rxtonin who will settle near the colleee neonle who wish to get away from the cold of the North, and who will settle in the South oniy wnere tney can get superior edu cational advantages for their daughters. If the school should be located in Char lotte, it means an increase of popula tion of good citizens from the North. Thejdea that men are superior to women Intellectually is exploded. I have girjs in my present school that are the equals of any boys of the same ad vantages. We want a oollege, a place where girls can have the same ad vantages as men. As to the faculty, it is our intention to have from 12 to 15 teachers, the very best that this coun try can afford, or possibly we may draw on the old country. Some of them will be Lutherans, soma not. We will take the best talent we can find in or out of the Church." "We have financial backing," inter rupted Mr. King. "Mr. Fisher and 1 have consented not to take over a cer tain amount for salaries, and all over that we will put back in the school in the form of aa endowment or hand it over to the Synod. We are goiDg to locate the school just where it ought to be. Asheville and Columbia have nromised not ta hanrtinan na , -,i,u M u. J 11,11- holding their support should the college t 1 A , . 1 . " bb iuoeu eisewnere. we nave been delaying in order to hear the opinions and criticisms of prominent men of our Church, to know just where they con sidered the centre of the field. So far we have been commended by all. We are going to stick to our plan. You are not going on a venture. We ant Charlotte to do something extra. Then are considerable benefits to accrue to the city, -and we feel that the city should make a donation." Mayor Weddington asked how Ion? ii would be before a decision would be made. "As soon as possible," said Mr. King. "The longer the delay fhe loDg er we will be in getting our buildinus started." Mr. Clarkson addressed the meeting I w wucu prais UlTen the Ppers and thi He said too much praise could not ip the Manofactur- ers Club for thei' efforts in this matter I f lhaInrtA K a . .1 1 vaa avv UO asuill, W&B 1)11(3 QUO Ol riotism and the huh nt inHnai.i.i achievements, and with the addition of the college it would be "the hub of the universe."

Mr. Chadwick: "W h .o v, chief executive of the city; who I know from conversations with him . tha good of the city at heart. We would like to hear from him." Mayor Weddington: "These gentle men know that T am with tk. a twwu UCU1 uu will assist them in every way possible." ar. vowwim; unarioue is the best town in thlr section, but she is be hind in the matter of higher educa tion. Greensboro, Spartanburg and Co lumbia are ahead of us. Now is the time for Charlotte to do something for higher education. Let's go in with a determination to win in this matter." Mr. Fisher: "We aretmnMae&ri your town, the progress and energy we see on every nana, ana a number of ac ceptable sites have been offered, but our coming whj depend noon tha in dueements offered. The matter will be decided la two weeks or as soon as we can get all the material in from the three places Asheville, Charlotte and voiumoia." uoi. tt ai, Oates thought the town would do more if tha state how much it wanted; the amount or money which would be required Mr. King said "Colombia stands on seal ed proposals. - She does not ask what Charlotte or Asheville" are doing, and aauevuie i woraing on tne same line They say if Charlotte out-bids us, all right; we - will give cd and heln the cause any way." "So oat of fairness to Columbia and Asheville we think It but right to stick to sealed proposals. We already have one sealed bid from Charlotte and expeet more.' - v - - Mr. Brem: ; "Will the advantages of one town over another be considered f Yes," said Mr. King. "For Instance, a i uu wu, Aiorenead's would; be worth more te us than 1,000 acres two miles from tow.". - ;- . j. .Mr. J. 8. Myers thought the people auuaiu iddw wnere toe location would be. Mr. A.D M. Osborne differed with him. So it eame to Charlotte, said he, was the first thing to be con sidered. President Chadwick called on w. - nioAaea ior an expression of odI ton. He stated that he was - much pleased with these gentlemen who rep resent the I rlVv-an Synod: that there w5?Jfca mass mee? Charlotte for a col- r - . V for -uy lie would as sooe it as anv one. as ida-hound m .in Georgia last falL and visited he .vL a&Seo tt Institute and was so people we ought to have a college like it. Let us know what to do, and we will put our shoulders to the wheel and doit." - - - i : - . , . t An Inquiry from Mr. L. A. Dods worth brought out the remark from Mr. Klcg that It was not the Intention for the school to be Lutheran - through and through, but that it should be for all denominations. r ,; ""---.i'iv t"' Messrs. King and Fisher left at this juncture, as they were compelled to catch the train. The Charlotte gentle men remained and discussed the col lege -and the chances of getting it, amongst themselves-. It was decided that President Chadwick should ap point a committee of twelve citizens who would canvass the city, and report back. ; . ' All things considered, the citizens who met in the Club yesterday after noon were very much encouraged in re gard to Charlotte's chances for getting the school. If Charlotte wants it she can and will have it. Let her be up andTdoing. 'sy'-...j --. . The BerrybtU Fish FryBin; Flah fer eBl( : Orewd. - The fish fry on Mr. J. M. Sloan's place on the river, Thursday, was i the biggest frolic the people oi Kerrynui have indulged in this season. , The par ty consisted of from Gaston: Col. Wm. and Col.

U'ne nsn were supplied from Mr. Sloan's traps. Qh-By-the-WayH Railroad Talk. . Second Vice President Baldwin, of the Souther n passed through the city last night. There has been no official announce ment of the fact, but "to us it's evident," in the language of the Pirates, that Superintendent Ryder's office is to be moved to Salisbury. This a prophecy. Engineer Lee Hanks, of the Southern, who was injured about six months ago by being run over by an engine in the yard, made his first appearance oft the streets yesterday. He is still crippled Mr. u.

No resolu tions will be presented or adopted but short talks will be made by those inti mate with the deceased members. . The novation will probably establish a pre cedent in looal association ciroles. A. R. P. Notes. Mr. R. S. Galloway, local editor of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, spent yesterday in the oity. Mr. Gallo way had a number of pleasant things to say about the Obskbvxb, among them an apology lor taking so many items from the paper, "but then," said he, I find more of our church news in your paper than any other, and I just have to have it." The vounc people's convention of the A. R. P. Church will meet in Charlotte the seoond Tuesday in August. Plans and programmes will be begun at once. Telegraph Service Needed. The Western Union should either have a branch office at the Southern depot or a messenger boy to take mes sengers for the traveling public. There are few stations on the line of any road where there is no place to send a tele gram. Every day people are seen rush ing around about the station trying to find some person to send a message oy If a messenger boy is stationed at the depot he should be uniformed and stay in Tront or the building wnere ne couio be seen and utilized. "Let tha tower Ug;hta Be Barnlnj " The city is at work on East Sixth street, consequently the street i tore up and full of holes. IjHSt night no lanterns were put there as a warning to drivers of vehicles not to enter The picnic crowd returning in the transfer drove into the street. The horses stumbled and fell in one of the holes, and it was with difficulty that they were gotten out. A serious accident might have occurred, and the city fathers should iodict the careless individual who neglected tu put the signals out.

The rain of Thursday night and yes terday morning seems to have been a special dispensation for Charlotte and the east. The townships West reported no rain to amount to anything. Crab Orchard got the aown-pour that Char lotte did. Tne ground was too wet yes terday for plowing. It is hoped that last night's rains were as general as they were heavy. Preabyterlaa.
