Baptist University? Yes, We think
so.
The Methodist ia North Carolina
have been trying for twenty years
10 endow Trinity College, but have
failed. Now Mr.. Duke offers $685.
600 TO put up a building and $4,000
10 endow il. Raleigh offered $50, 900
without any endowment. Besides
this offer is the proposition Of only
one man. The Methodist cannot
and will not decline such an eifer.
Oh! but says a prominent merchant

DURHAM stirred UP.

To use an expressive though not
elegant phrase, Durham is dumping"
herself. A gentleman Of that place
was here this morning, and reported
that she had been very mad ever since
the locating Of the Baptist College
had been decided upon. 1t appears
that nothing, since the Raleigh bank
failure or the Durham failure, has
created 50 much discussion and ex-
element. The Durham people as.
semble in groups, talk Of the matter
and make some most vigorous refer.
ences TO social, moral and healthful
environment
The talk has eliminated in some
earnest action. Mr.. w. Duke il re-
ported TO have written TO Prlf.

Raleigh has already offered, and to
endow il with fifty thousand dollars
besides, provided the college be lo1

or from the eastern section OF the

Against such a combination money,

Tie board had no right, after acs
cepting sealed bids, to allow Raleigh
70 increase her donation to an amount
equal 10 that offered BY Oxford 1t

The plea advanced by Raleigh that
La Grippe had inteIfered with her
