| Forty-frst Day.-At noon the cleo
ticn OF trustees OF the State University
came up as a special order.
Smith objected to McNamee. He

make fine trustee
Gudger said McNamee was an excel
lent man and would make an excellent
trustee, but the people Of the west
wanted a North Carolinian also.
Pinnix said as McNamee was the
only Republican on the list Che did
not think politics should be or was
conSidered) he thought he should be
taken off. Don't just put on one. Re-
publican; if no more, then leave him
off"
Foushee said he agreed with Pinnix.
that there should be more Republicans
or none. He did not object to Nc
Nance, but he wanted more western
men on. Here are eight men from
Wake county," said Gudger.
THE law requires a certain number
from Wake county in order to hold
frequent meetings Of the executive
committee" said Scott.

the patronage of the State, but l did
not know it was by statute" said
GuGger.

valuable man to the State and if he
was not put on now, then it would be
a reflection on him and on Northern
capitalists coming to the State
Morrison favored the report as it
was and said it was necessary to have
men close to Raleigh.
