Se^t. 2?(Spec- w ial) The movement to establish at id Dayton, Tenn., a great university as C a memorial to William Jennings ai Bryan, is daily gaining impetus, ac- is cording t0 F. E. Robinson, President ai of the Bryan Memorial University til Association here. Mr. Robinson e( states that the campaign now be- th I ing waged to provide five million dol- st 'ars for building and endowment, has m brought the Association gifts totaling over half a million dollars, only se part of three states, Tennessee, hi North Carolina and Florida, having cl been solicited to date te The national aspect of the move- cc ment is growing, Mr. Robinson says. s< Friends and admirers of Mr. Bryan ei and the things for which he stood, hi are expressing their interest in the establishment of the university. Difr- pi ing the past two weeks a number of ai ' ' 1A V?H a cr editorials commenanig uie CBiai/uou- I (-> inent of the university have appeared s< in the press over the country. One of these, after stating the progress \ of the campaign, continued as follows: "This is just an embryonic start. J It will be most interesting to note what come of it. If there are enough Christians in the land who believe with Mr. Bryan that the ten- T dency of modern collegiate and uni- B versity courses is toward a belief in a i I ho materialistic production of the li universe and of life through chemical affinities and that there ought to Is be an institution where they can T send their children where this phil- ti osophy will not be overestimated and r< ; overemphasized, and where the sup- N remacy of the Creator will be ac- d knowledged, then such an institu- w tion ought to have a large place in i American life and thought. w "Mr. Bryafl tried to turn the peo- if i pie toward the Divine in the Uni- li > verse, and he appeared sincere in his belief that this is being too much ig- 1< nored. It is possible that this may a become a great university. 1 r "As a man Bryan was a moral tl i j force In the iiffe of the country and 1 there is at Hie present time-a'need fi t of those who can reach the consci- s ences of men. Perhaps this uni- d versity wilj furnish them." I EAR RQ1 Poik PUBLISHED EVE TRYON, H. C., STORY FROM DETROIT NEWS Detroit News Holds Inter view With Mr. lames S.

Ellsworth delivered a lecture on t B Lake Lanier which was very enthusl- f |. asticly received by the large group f v which had assembled to hear ,a dej scription of the Tryon Development "] j Company's great project in the mouni talus of Western North Carolina. Rather than devote hia time to the exploitation of the Lako Lanier r i- development the lecturer included In ( his discourse the general history of r 3 the mountain section and its prog- r i ress during recent years. Attributing t ; its unusual success to its splendid n 3 climate, the beauty of its mountain r 3 scenery and the fact that the state j - had a fgreat road building campaign a t which had made almost every part i of i)t accessible. Many questions were asked regard- I 1 the industrial expansion of the south I > which Mr. Ellsworth described as a - great necessary movement to locate . near the source of the raw material. In addition to that he further stated the fact that North Carolina , I was supplying unlimited power from ' its great hydro-electric projects. He ^ went so far as to make the pro- ^ phecy that eventually the power to j move America's industrial plants would be supplied from great water ^ power development projects or from * \ J] . great centralized power units located J I 11 . I in the coal fiolds, where Jlo onntond- ^ . ed a saving would occur by the in- ? ( stallation of such a ilrogram, and of . ! course, that in a scnse appealed to I his listeners because one of Aniorl-;^ , ca's largest coal reserves is located t in that immediate vicinity. Many individuals in the audience j expressed a desire to visit western ^ North Carolina and see for them-1 , selves the progress which the lectur-! 1 er had indicated had been made re-j( cently in that section and later we j expect to run a number of excursions j J from that city to Lake Lanier. ~ ROGERS HOME- s SOON TO BE COMPLETED 0 V The new residence being built by Mr. Carroll Rogers is fast nearing ? completion, when finished it will be v one of the finest houses in this y whole section of the country.

U. undfcr the upervision of the vice president, Jiss Ester Gibbs, held a rally at >fill Spring on Sunday afternoon, LUgUSt 15.

Intense interest, beaming form he faces of the young people showed hat they were earnestly attempting o d0" something that will lift the ommunity out of the lethargy that, o many times exist and make it one f the livest places for christian rorkers to live. If the writer can read the future f the churches by the manner in rhich they were represented by the oung people on this occasion, he is f the opinion that these will be hurches wide awake to the needs f the Kingdom and able to meet the emands of each community in which hey are located. The young oik showed that they are filled with elermination that will mamke them n adult church membership that an successfully meet the needs of he future.

U. as effectively given by the lill Spring Union. In fact it was a ime when all attending were happy nd interested in the work so much hat it was the best meeting the Ireen River Associational B. Y. P. J. has had. While the writer has mentioned the aterest of the young people and the alks by the older ones it would not e fair to the Association to fail to aention the one that seemed to posess the most enthusiasm and devoion to the cause of the young peole . Miss Ester Gibbs was radiatag with such intense interest that very one seemed to catch it. She i a great leader of the young people nd one or tile real assets ot tne enIre Association. That which she atsmpts is a success; for the young eople love to do her bidding. She 5 to be congratulated for the sucess of the occasion.
