never saw such enthusiasm as
was shown by the people when Mr.. J.
s. CARR got up to speak. The people
cheered him for five minutes before he
was permitted to say word. He is the
biggest and most generous rich man
North Carolina has known. I feel to
say with DIR. MANNING: God bless him.
Gov. FowLE was received with great
enthusiasm and cheers rent the air when
he arose to speak for his kinsman, Judge
Grant, who gave $1,000. He may
make it more.
The Alumni of the University who are
not here are expected to give S., 900
more 50 that the fund may reach $50,

The large contributors were cheered,
but the smaller ones were also cheered
and appreciated. Some of them represent
a liberality that surpassed some of the
larger ones.
