DR. BYNUM INDICATED.
Arkansas Legislature Reinstate Him in the
University Faculty.


The Chatham Record notes the vindi-
cation Of Prof Ernest T. Bynum, a
former resident OF that county, by the
recent Legislature in Arkansas.
In 1898 DR.. Bynum was elected Profess
sor of English and Modern Languages in
the University of Arkansas. He was re-
elected in 1899 and again in June, 1900.
Immediately after his reelection last
year Prof. Bynum went to Europe in orr
der to spend his vacation in further
study. On his return in September he
was shocked to learn that at special
meeting of the trustees, held a few days
before they had removed him without
giving any reason. He at once demanded
an explanation but neither the president
OF the board of trustees nor any mem
Der would give him any explanation nor
state any of the alleged grounds of re-
mOvoI.
Indignant at such an outrage Dr. By
mum appealed to the people of Arkansas
through their Legislature. After a full
inves tigation, that body passed a resolu-
ton vindicating Prof. Bynam, restoring
him to his position in the faculty and
censuring the trustees for the manner
in which they had treated him.
The Record adds that the legislative
investigation disclosed that DR.. Bynum
had been removed through the false evil
derce end malice of one Of the trustees.
upon whom he had refused to vote to
confer the degree Of Ii. D. and the as
plrations Of whose son for the presidency
OF the University he had opposed
DR.. Bynum is expected in North Caro-
lima next month, on a visit to his parents
in PittsboTo.

Report Handed the Governor
by Penitentiary Directors
1t Sets Forth the Result of Examination of the Books and
Shows the Institution in a Bad Way
Financially.

The penitentiary is not eating en- the
ood- tide of prosperity, as many were led
to believe when Superintendent Day
made his report to the Governor last
December. On the dark contrary. it is
again on the shoals of bankruptcy.
This condition of the institution has
been revealed by an examination into its
affairs bv the new directors.
This examination began Immediately
the new board took charge. 1t was made
for the first week or so by Directors
Brown and O'Berry. Then Mr. Brown
went home and the examination has since
been conducted by Mr. O'Berry, who is
recognized By one of the best business
men in the State.
1t was completed this week and the
report on it was yesterday morning hand
cd to the Governor.
Though it has not yet been made public,
enough was learned touching the con-
tents of the report to know that it shows
an immense shrinkage in the resources
