ABOUT THE AUDITORIUM.
To the State Herald:

To the State Herald:
In addition to what they can otherwise
do, some of our leading business men
have told me that in case the auditorium
is not built they desire that the money
they have paid in on their stock In the
auditorium go towards paying off the
mortgage on Howard college and thus
fixing that institution here. feel deeply
concerned about the auditorlum's not
failing, and am far from being willing to
build up one institution at the expense of
another; and while appreciate the kind
ness of these public-spirited gentlemen
and their interest in Howard college,
whose fate is now upon the hearts OF all
of us, l am very hopeful that there will
be united and revived effort to make
the auditorium a success, and that speed
lily building will be erected which will
meet the demands of our growing city.
1 believe that it would be an incalculable
benefit to Birmingham to have large
building like the auditorium, where we
could hold our great conventions, and
which would be a suitable place for great
union religious meetings. which would
make for the moral and spiritual better
ment of our people and bring thousands
of people here and thus help business OF
every kind.
OF course If the auditorium should not
be built should feel grateful for the col
lege to be made it's residuary legatee,
but believe that our business men ougnt
to bestir themselves and at once erect
building that would be an ornament TO
the city. Personally, l would rather Dor
row money and put 1t into-the auditorium
than to see it fail, even though Howard
college should be made the recipient OF
the amount subscribed to the auditorium.
feel very much encouraged in can
wasting for the college, and think by
all doing their duty the college can be
preserved and no other interest be in
jured in the slightest. A man cannot go
among our merchants and other citizens
without being impressed by their public
spirit and liberality of heart. The way
our merchants are standing together for
this great public educational enterprise
and their desire to build up In every way
whatever will be a common help makes
very impressive the duty of patronizing
home industry and home merchants.
Believing that with united effort both
these public enterprises can be carried
to a happy contamination without any
serious suffering, l am yours sincerely,
p. T. HALE,
President Board Trustees.
