A JEALOUS SLANDERER.

in last Monday night. The damage is
estimated at $4,000, or more. The blame
has not been attached to any one yet
The builder and architect desire and ask
a thorough investigation. The building
committee which consists Of DIR. Gro
WELL, f. J. PARRISH and X. Il. LYON
have ordered the debris cleared away and
| work to commence anew. 1t is calam-
ity to the denomination and an injury to
the school. No one will ever rest easy
in the building even if it is repaired. AS
the building was put there to boom Dur
ham and not to benefit the school, the
denomination don't know exactly what
sort of a face 10 make at the calamity
High Point Enterprise.
MR. J. J. FARRIs, who wrote the above,
shows a spirit of jealousy that, among
honest men, is positively inexcusable
and which, at the same time indicates a
lack of fairness which even dishonesty
would never attempt. If the editor of
the Enterprise wanted to be a rogue he
lacks that versatility of genius which
has characterized other rogues. In at
tempting to be dishonest he stumps his
toe on the block of honesty and below
ing while it bleeds leaves a trail of blood
which convicts him. The editor of the
Enterprise judging by the chaste and
clear cut language above, imagines that
all people are like himself. In vacuum
of ign ORANGE he judges other men by the
deformed and frightful image which he
| occasionally views in mirror, and essays
to say that no one will ever rest easy in
| Trinity college.
All men know, but no man knows bet
ter than COLONEL FARRIs that he would
rest most uneasy in any college. The
| bull in the china shop would be more
wildly at home than COLONEL FARRIs in
any institution of learning. Not that the
hand press editor would fear the tumbling
of wall of brick, but that wall of learn
ing would so daze his diluted intellect
that he would realize, even in his evident
stupidity, that he would be obliged to ex-
hibit the plans of the great architect, Ma
ture, whose walls have never fallen, to
emphasize the fact that he was the most
complete all-around ass in the universe.
1t is to be regretted that nature builded
so we'll and that the ass still brays
But suppose he does?
This is the honest truth and records
will bear us out.
The board of trustees unanimously, rep.
resenting the leading points in North
Carolina and the two conferences repre-
senting the entire state, voted to remove
to Durham, with but solitary dissenting
voice. The removal could not have there
fore been to Durham to boom Durham,
as Durham was only slightly represented
in the deciding powers.
For man who claims a respectable
acquaintance with the things called
honesty and justice, for a man who un-
dertakes TO mould, even on an apple
butter press, the thing called public opin-
ion, to herald to himself as proof reader
and his exchanges as readers, lie that
was fringed with villiany and with ieal-
ousy, and attempt with himself and his
tape worm to strike blow at an institu-
ton as reputable and as we'll established
as Trinity college
Well,
People who think, people who read
and people who are honest, will say that
the creature at High Point is not the
kind of man who would inspire conf
dence even if he tried to borrow dime
on the peach blow tint of his classic
countenance
When he strikes at Trinity college,
while the blow is weak, the animus of
the fellow is shown and it is only the ex-
piring wall Of a very cheap attempt to
allow people to stop at his town while
on their way to a college.
This is terrible.
A hotel man and COLONEL FARRIs,
who washed the students shirts and who
lost his job, are very angry.
This is the milk in the cocoanut.
This is the monkey in the tree.
This is the jackass in High Point.
When he brays,
If he prays,
Wonder if he wants some brains.
Let it pass,
