(Here Professor Ray examined his
records to refresh his memory.-Ed.)

Yes, but so far as my memory
serves me he has done inspecting at
the colored institution only

Jim Young, a director, We're together
on an inspecting tour in the store
room"

about that"
"At what date was Jim Young ap-
pointed a member of the inspecting
cOmmittee?"
THE records show that he and Pro-
fessor Meserve were appointed on the
18th Of April, 1897
WAS it not in pursuance of that ap-
pOintment, in the discharge of the duty
of inspecting, that Professor Meserve
and Jim Young visited the store room
of the white institution, as recalled by
the housekeeper?"
Il was not at the institution when
this visit took place"
"On what other committees in con-
nection with the white institution did
Jim Young serve?"
con April 20, 1897, he and Professor
Meserve were appointed a special COM
mittee with reference to having the
orchestra attend the Teachers Assem-
bly, at MOrehead City. On May 10, 1897,
he was added to the building commit

dren. On May 18th he was appointed

for laying the corner stone Of the new
building for white children. DOu you

stone laying was done by the Grand
Lodge of odd Fellows of North Car
