MOVE TRINITY TO WINSTON.

MOVE TRINITY TO WlNSTON.
Every large town in the State is
trying to get Trinity College. Greens
boro, Durham, Raleigh and Winston
are ahead in the competition, with
odds in favor of Raleigh or Winston.
The editor of The SENTINEL was
in Raleigh last week and was told by
president Crowell that. beginning
with Raleigh, all Of the four towns
would have an opportunity of bidding
for the college.
THE SENTINEL thinks that Trinity
Collese ought to come to Winston.
Why Wen tell you:
In the first place, it is healthy
place. Raleigh and Durham are in a
fiat, sandy country and 'reensboro is
in bottom, while Win on is up on
the high hills, within plain sight ofthe
mountains, only twenty eight miles
away. 1t is fine summer resort for
tie felix's from the other towns to
come to, and we are going to invite
them to try the climate next summer.
There are so few deaths here that the
doctors have never even calculated
the death rate and it will have to be
done in very small decimals when it
is done In sober earnest, We believe
there are fewer deaths here In proper
ton to population than in any large
town in the State.
In the second place, the students will
come in contact with the most vigorous
business life in the State and will
gather ideas and habits that will be of
the greatest value in after life. Take
the m, st sluggish hoy and put him in
the midst of the great, throbbing.
growing industries and his activities
will be wonderfully quickened. The
majority of college authorities have
agreed that city life is conducive to
strong, well rounded, intellectual
growth. This being the case, where
iii North Carolina will you find so
many large industries as in Winston
Salem We have about forty large
tobacco factories, large machine chops
and foundries, cotton and wooden
mills, tanneries and potteries, planning
mills, extensive furniture factories, a
knitting mill, banks, insurance and
Telegraph "ffices, electric light ma
chimes, water-works; three railroads in
process of construction and more to
come. In fact We have very many
enterprises that would do credit to a
much larger city.
Thirdly, many of the young men of
slender means who are obliged to work
during the summer months could find
employ ment here. The summer
months are the busiest Of the year in
Winston Salem and hundreds of young
men can and do find employment dur
ing this season at very fair wages.
Our graded school, with about 500
pupils, would be constant feeder to
the college and the library could ! e
used by its students. H
In soint of religious influence, our
city acknowledges no superior. We
have churches of almost every profess
tant denomination, whose pastors are
among the brightest and best in the
land and who are literally supported
both by cash and strong moral SEN
timeut. Our community is law abid-
ing aud peacable.
Now to come down to the matter
o money" Citizens of this city have
done more for Trinity College in the
past than those of any other town and
they will not fall behind in the future.
When DR.. Craven died, the college
was in critical condition With only
q sleDder stipend and half-hearted
support from the Conference, it must
have gone under but for the eeneros-

and Messrs. j. w. Alspaugh and Jas.

men saw that it was crisis IN Trim
