Trinity Notes.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
complete the large amount of building
that has been begun at the Park by the
fall opening, Sept. 9Th. The contractors
have in hand the provision OF two new
mess halls at the High School, the re-
modelling of the Crowell Science Hall
and new boarding house for the College.
The great scarcity of labor and building
| material, owing to the great number of
houses being built in Durham, has made
it necessary to postpone the building of
two cottages for College dOrmitories, a
dormtory for the High School and the
Presidents residence. The improve
ments will be taken up Immediately after
the opening OF the fall term.
Your correspondent found DR.. kilgo
busily engaged in his office with his
stenographer, going through a large pile
of mail. When asked about the pros
poets for the fall opening, he replied:
Judging from the information | have,
regard the outlook for the College bet
| ter than have ever known. l have sent
out 700 more catalogues at this period
| than we have at the corresponding
| period OF any previous year. There has
| been three times as many applicants for
| catalogues and information from other
States than we have ever had, and am
satisfied there will be quite consider
able increase in the attendance, both in

My physical condition has not made it
| possible for me to travel much during
| the summer, besides, my attention has
been occupied with building and other
| improvements at the Park. But have
kept up largely by correspondence with
all the movements in the State, and am
| happier over the prospects of Trinity
| than have ever been. The outlook has
| made it necessary for lis to double the
dormitory capacity of the High School,
besides make other improvements"
So popular has Mr.. Whitehouse's les
sons in physical culture become that he

Durham, n. c., Aug. IS, 1899.
REV. DIR. BroughtOn, of Atlanta,
who recently created some local dis
turbance over the views which he ex-
| pressed from his pulpit about the
lynching of negroes, is now preaching
in Northern churches on the race
question. He tells the Northern
people that the Negroes right to vote
must be taken away from him and
not restored until he is qualified
from an educational and moral
standpoint to exercise the franchise
| This line of argument is something
| new for Northern ears, but Rev.
Broughton is evidently making an
| impression. He follows it up by the
declaration that South Carolina is
the State where the colored people
are the happiest and most prosperous.
There are no lynchings there and
there is constant influx of negroes
into South Carolina from the other
States. This, he explains, is because
the negroes in South Carolina are
not allowed to vote except within
certain limitations. He believes that
the whole country should redouble
it's eNertions to educate the colored
people and fit them for the ballot.
This is exactly what it is proposed to
do in North Carolina and con-
stitutional amendment has been
drafted to that end.-Charlotte o.

The politician and the church fiesta.
ment received the attention of the Press
Association at Carolina Beach. The
sentiment OF the editors seemed adverse
to further permitting the above named
classes to believe the newspapers were
published for their sole benefit with out
remuneration or hope of reward. The
day is drawing to a close when twenty
five cent complimentary % ticket will
pay for one dollars worth of advertising
with an "Only too glad to do it," No
power has been more effective in electipp
politicians, or has done more for "the
concert than the press. The news
papers have helped these objects until
they seem to think the paper can not
exist without them, while they contribute
nothing for the papers support. If the
services of the newspapers are needed
pay for it, and if the press needs the
Testament, " concert" or politician let
! 1t pay.-Littleton News Reporter,
