Already every room in the dormitores

lit is altogether probable that by the
end of the week the college will be
turning off applicants for lack of accom-
mediation. President Winston says,
therefore, that those who wish to at
tend this year had best come this week.
The examination for those desiring
to enter college were held yes
terday, and III stood the examinations.
Out of this number twenty-five failed
to meet the requirements and were re-
iected. THE preparatory department
has been abolished and there is no
substitute for it," said President Win
ston last night, 'the college will not
take everybody who applies hereafter
but only those who are prepared" 1t
will henceforth be the policy of the
college to reject boys too young to>do
the work in its courses and all who
have not completed their preparatory
education. DR.. Winston says that in
size, character, and intelligence the stu
dent body this year will compare with
any he has seen at any institution with
which he has been associated.
The military instructor for the college
has not yet been secured, but President
Winston is corresponding with the War
and Navy Departments and hopes to Sc
cure for the place a retired army officer.
General Corbin has informed him that it

been inserted in the army and navy
journals and if a retired officer can not
be had then some one from nearer
home will be taken.
There are this year few mature

Invitations had been issued to the
marriage of Miss Fannie Fortune TO

About an hour before the ceremony was
performed, Mr.. Fortune received tele-
gram from Mr. b. Il. Hamrick stating
that he would arrive here at II o'clock,
and asking him to be at the station. Mr.
Fortune met him and they went imne-
diately to the court house, where
license was procured for the marriage
of Miss Bessie Fortune TO Mr.. E. e.
Hamrick. 1t seems that the young peo-
pie had arranged their plans but they
were not made known until the arrival
Of the groom. Their marriage at this
time was entirely unexpected.
Hence instead of the marriage which
had been arranged for, double mar
riage took place. Rev. DIR. Thomas e.
Skinner performed the double ceremony
ut noon in the drawing room. 1t was a
home welding and only a few invited
guests were present, among them Cover

Goldsboro to be Made the Headquarters
for This State.
Presiding Elder Swenson talked inter
estingly of the Mormon work yesterday
morning. He said: The Southern
States Mission embraces fourteen con
ferences, covering eleven States, namely,
Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Florida, Kentucky, Tennes-
see and Ohio, which has recently been
added Chattanooga is the headquarters
for the Southern States Mission; there
our organ, the Southern Star, Is pub
lished. There are now about five nun
dred elders at work in the Southern
States Mission"
The Presiding Elder says that about
forty-fve elders are, or soon will be, at
work in the North Carolina conference.
To this number add six or eight local
workers in the field Elders JOS. p
Emery and II. A. Bolin are located in
this county with headquarters in Raj
eigh.
THE headquarters for the North
Carolina Conference will be in Colds
boro,' said the Presiding Elder, land
am going there to establish it now"
why did you not select Raleigh" the
reporter asked.
"Goldsbono is more convenient ne
replied. You see we have elders at
work in Wilmington, Wilson, Kinston,
Elizabeth City and other places in the
east and | can best reach these fields
from Goldsboro." Special attention is
paid to the east in winter.
Presiding Elder Swenson says that he
regards North Carolina as one of the
best Southern States for the propagation
of the NORMAN belief. Converts are
being made rapidly. The treatment the
elders receive here is in marked contrast
to the way they are mobbed in Georgia.
The elders say that if the people do NOT
agree with them here they generally
treat them fairly.
