PICNIC OF THE MOUNTAIN
CREEK FARMERS CLUB.

We enjoyed the pleasure of trip
last week to the Mountain Creek
Farmers Club Picnic, in Richmond
county. It is one of the most -four
ishing clubs in the State. We hope
to be able to lay before our readers,
at an early date, the interesting and
able report read before the large
audience by the Secretary. The
farmers Of that section are struggling
hopefully to pull out Of the old ruts
and their meeting was designed
largely to excite a general interest
In this direction among the farmers
of that section.
Owing to the heavy rains the
night previous, large numbers we're
prevented from attending, but the
crowd present Appropriated one
thousand. Speeches were made bv
the writer, Col. w. M. Pickett. Of
Arson and Capt. S. B. Alexander, of
Mecklenburg.
Old school mates, old comrades.
old friends and new friends made
our visit delightfully."- pleasant.
Among the latter, we must express
our special obligation to Mr.. j. M.
Hines for Offices Of courtesy and
kindness. No truer people, nor a
more desirable section can be found
than in the old Pee Dee country.
and we were rejoiced to see a lively
spirit ofprogress among them. When
once freed from the slavish manacles
OF the zone crop SYSTEM so they
may breathe more freely, then we
confidently predict for that splendid
section a career of prosperity, that
shall crown it's hills and plains with
beauty and wealth.
And that they are resolved to be
free is evidenced by the spirit of
the ffty-four members which con-
stitute the Mountain Creek Farmers
Club.

The University catalogue OF
1886 says "the interest OF tne

relating to agriculture and the

The "said act" expressly declares
that "the said interest is to be used
bv the said trustees for the purpose
of the establishment OF at edst one
Colzeqe in accordance wlM the Act OF
Congress-
But after a period of eleven years
of laborious effort, and with an ex-
penditure of $82,50 Of money given
to our people by the Government
we have at last succeeded in getting
"a college OF Agriculture and
Mechanic Artist! /,
It is a model Of architectural
beauty and admirably equipped in
all its various departments. It IS
located on the 10th page Of the Cata-
loque of om University. The Cata-
logue says that "two courses are
ofered'' in this elegant paper college.
"Offered" is a good word! These
"courses" we presume have been
"ofiered" to our farmer boys tor
these eleven years, but we search
the catalogue in vain to find one who
has awaited himself Of the softer"
We want this fund applied in our
State as it has been in other States
and as the Act ofCongress expressly
directs-to the establishment Of
Agricultural Colleges. The fund
was given for the benefit of the
masses of our people. 1t was squan-
dered. They were made to assume
the amount and make it due to the
University and pay the interest on
it annually, for the benefit Of the
University, until that interest has
amounted to $50, 50O-and this, too,
under the ridiculous pretcnse that
there is an Agricultural College at
the University.
So far as the design of Congress
is concerned, which prompted this
donation and as expressed in the
act, the money had as well been APP
piled to experiments in building
aerial ships.
We make no war upon the Uni
versity-we want to see it rise until
it shall stand the equal of any sim
liar institution in all the land, but
an earnest conviction of duty to the
farmers of our State shall enlist our
utmost effort, until we see that JUS
tice is done them in this matter.
We need an Agricultural College for
the practical training of the children
of our farmers and other industrial
classes, and there is but one way to
get it-buiM 1t nth the money qiren
to as by the Government for that pur-
pose. How are we to get it? By

The University has received each
year beginning January LIST, 1879
81, 5OO-interest on the land scrip
fund.
In 1881 the Legislature made an
annual appropriation Of $4,000 to
the University.
In 1885 the Legislature made an
additional annual appropriation of
$15,O to the University.
Total amount appropriated annu-
ally to the University, twenty-seven
thousand FIVE hundred dollars.
Each county in the State is emit
tied to send one student estate stu

versity catalogue) to the University
free Of all charges for tuition and

always have one representative"
AS to our agricultural college.
July I'd, 1862, Congress gave to each
Of the States 10000 acres of land for
each Senator and Representative,
under the apportionment of 1860.
The proceeds of these lands were to
be appropriated exclusively to the
establishment ofagricultural colleges
for "the teaching of such branches as
ire related to agriculture and the
mechanic arts, in order to promote
the literal and practical education
Of the industrial classes in the sew
eral pursuits and professions of life"
Our Legislature of 1S66-67 &C.
cepted this grant, which, under the
appOrtionment amounted to go, 600
acres. The same body transferred
this fund to the Trustees of the Uni
versity on the express condition that
the fund should be applied as di-
rected by the act Of Congress. The
fund was invested in special tax
bonds and lost. The Legislature of
1910 made good this loss by di-
recting the State Treasurer to issue
a certificate Of indebtedness to the
University to the amount Of $685.
600, bearing interest at six per cent,
which interest the University was
to draw semi-annually. The act says:
"Sd,d interest to be used by said Trus-
tees for the purpose Of the establishment
Of at least n college IN accordance
Nth the aforesaid act of Congress. The
University has been drawing this
interest CO, 5000 semi-annually since
the LIST Of January, 1875-overe eleven
years-amounting in all to $4,000
on the 1st of January, 1886.
Here is a fund of 1926, 900 given
to the people Of North Carolina by
the General Government for the
establishment of agricultural col
leges, which was transferred to the
Trustees of the University and by
them invested in special tax bonds
and lost. Then to avoid a direct tax
on the people to replace this loss the
people are made debtor to the Uni
versity to the amount of the fund
which had been taken from them,
and they have paid. to the Univer-
sity in eleven years $82, 800, on money
Uhich belongs to the people, and to them
only.
With. the annual appropriations of
$4,000 made to the University out
of the common fund we have moth
ing to do further than to give the

For The Progressive Farmer.
DEAR Will you give the
amount of the various approprla-
tons made to the University? 1t is
a matter that is not at all under
stood by the masses of our people.
Also give the facts in regard to tree
tuition. Some say that the last Leg
islature did not give $4,000, and that
tuition is not free, while others claim
that the appropriations amount to
about $50 1000 annually, and that tut
ton is free.
Will you give the facts as to the
land grant act?
Some claim that the act Of Con-
gress has been carried out in good
faith, and that we have an agricul-
tural college at the University that
has been training scholars ever since
the donation was accepted.
Others understand that no such
college exists-that no such applica-
ton has been made of the funds.
What is the truth about these mat
tiers? Give a correct version of it
in THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, so that
the masses may understand them.
Very respectfully,
