elevation of the new textile building be-
ing erected by the State of North Caro-
lima at the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, Raleigh. The plans for the new
building were made by the d, A. Temp
kins Co., of Charlotte.
The textile department at the college
has been established and in operation for
some time, occupying such quarters as the
college could spare. The department is
in charge of Prof Wilson, under the gem
eral direction of DR.. Winston, president
of the college.
The new buildr~ - 100 F'"'l-
tiles as to room for recitations, lectures
and floor space for machinery. The teach
ing is both technical and practical. When
the new building is completed the prac-
teal operations will be very much ex-
tended.
The appropriation by the State for the
new building is 500, 900. The department
will continue under the charge OF Prof.
Wilson, with two assistants added. One
of these will be a practical demonstrators
of the machines and their operation, am
the other will be man well up in tech
meal and practical features of dyeing.
1t is the purpose of those most inter-
ested in these technical and practical
schools to keep them fully apace with the
actual developments of the States re-

CONFEDERACY LACKED MONEY

sion. The foreigners communicated with
President Davis and Mr.. Marlminger and
urged them to make a larger issue of
cotton bonds. He was received in1iseI-
emily by MIR. Davis, who hal learned to
rely on Mr.. Memminger's ycs'lent jrdg-
ment. The latter declared that the Con-
federate Congress authorized him to Dor
row but SIS, 900, 900 and he could not OK
coed it's instructions.
"Erlanger was thus unsuccessful. lie
declared that the South should get all
the foreign money possible. Get them
interested financially in your success or
failure, and they will force their govern
ment to recognize the Confederacy as a
government and its subjects as beliger-
ents.' This would have meant peace,
for the South starved to death because
of the fact that foreign powers would not
recognize her government.
I'm Capers' life of Memminger the
distinguished secretary of the Confederate
treasury is excused for not taking adj
vantage of this opportunity on the
ground that he could not exceed his in
structons But Col. Gibbes says that the
Confederate Congress was almost con-
stantly in session and it would not have
been a difficult matter to have gotten
authority.
after the war, in 1869, a very strange
thing happened The Confederacy had
gone to pieces and the bonds were worth
less-were not on the market. However,
curio collectors began to buy them This
gave rise to a report that money had been
found on deposit in Lincoln to the credit
of the Confederacy. Naturally holders OF
bonds could claim any such funds. Inc
price of these cotton bonds then went up
as high as 10 cents on the dollar, due to
this foolish rumor. In the cellar OF MS
home Col Gibbes had stored hundreds or
thousands of dollars in ordinary Conted-
crate bonds and in cotton bonds The
paper was heavily sized or starched,
and had been a toothsome find for mice
and reaches. However, from the barrels
of shreds of paper which had once been
valuable bonds, Col. Gibbes managed to
find one bundle in a fair state of preser-
vation This he forwarded to Branch Il
Sons. Richmond, and secured $1,000 for his
bonds

POPULAR AND ELECTORAL VOTE

In an address delivered in Raleigh on
Memorial Day, May 10th, by this writer,
which you did me the honor to publish,
the following statement is made:
Mr. Lincoln, was in a large minority
of the popular vote-nearly one million
yet he had a considerable majority in
the Electoral College. In the Southern
States he had no electoral ticket at all.
Mr. Lincoln had three competitors for
the office of President, and it has been
often claimed that his opponents could
have defeated him by combining upon a
single candidate This is a great error.
The Electral College was composed at
that time 1S60) of 303 members, making
152 votes necessary to choice. Mr..
Lincoln. received $50 votes in all, but
in 10 of the Northern and Western States
having 167 votes in the Electoral Col
lege, he had also clear majorities of the
popular vote over the combined votes of
all three of the opposing candidates; so
in any case he would have had a majority
Of fifteen (15) in the Electoral College
even if there had been but one competi-
tor upon whom all opposing popular
votes might have been centered.
This statement has been called in ques-
tion and the following from the official
records is respectfully offered in proof
of its correctness:

(EdItorial CORRESPONDENCE

Wake Forest, N. c., May Silt was my
pleasure to spend u few hours here dur
ing the commencement occasion of Wake
Forest College, which closed on Thursday
An account of the exercises has already
appeared in these columns-an account
that was sentient with the glow and faith
and growth of this useful institution
There are three things about the college
and the commencement that mean great
things for its future development and in
creased usefulness.
/. The spirit of edueation-of universal
education-was in the atmosphere The
men who preach, the men who teach, the
men who live in an atmosphere of books
and science nave quit walking with their
heads in the Clouds and are thinking
about their duty to the unlettered chill
dren as much as about greek roots and
algebraic problems. A long time ago
recent enough for me to recollect it,
there was a debate here as to whether
all the people ought to be taxed for uni
vcrsal education. And the judges deci-
ded with the negative. Today if any man
should suggest such theme for debate,
| fear he might be thought to be the
reincarnation of Thotmes H., for the spirit
of devotion to popular education runs
strong here in faculty and in trustees
and student body. 1t is the atmosphere
the students breathe. | do not recall that
debate to reflect upon the Wake Forest
of fifteen years ago, for Wake Forest
was then like much of the rest of the
State,-and it was no uncommon thing
anywhere to find good men who took
ground against taxing everybody for the
education Of all the children. That day
has passed forever in North Carolina lit
is no longer a question open for discus
sion-and the men trained here have
had an importantspart in making the bet
ter public sentiment that dominates North
Carolina
2. The spirit of cooperation and frater-
nal feeling in education in North Caro-
lima was manifested by the presence at
the alumni banquet of President Venable,
of the University, and Prof. Minis, of
Trinity College. Their speeches were in

THE DOMINATING SPIRIT
AT WAKE FOREST COLLEGE

excellent taste and had power, and w2ze
warmly applauded by the alumni of Wake
Forest. The harvest in the North Caro-
lima educational field is truly great and
the laborers are few There is need for
all the institutions we have to exert
every effort 10 carry the blessings OF high
er education to the thousands who are
not reached by any of our institutions. In
this important work, Wake Forest, the
University, Trinity, Davidson, Elon, and
the smaller institutions are co-workers,
and the seeing eye to eye and touching ell
bow to elbow, will give an impetus and a
oneness to the work that will tell in in
creased numbers, higher standards, and
juster appreciation and mutual helpful
ness.
3. The spirit of growth and progress is
marked. New chairs, higher standards,
more thoroughness in scholarship go hand
in hand with the erection of new build
ings and the addition of modern equip
ment to teach and learn. The compile
tion of the new gymnasium is the brick
and mortar monument of the past years
progress. 1t is the handsomest building
on the campus. Its architectural design
shows a return to old and more stately
lOFulS Ol the puDllC anu SCHOOl DulluluSS,
and the stately columns give it an APP
pearance of stability and grandeur The
college wisdom of today properly puts :'the
sound mind in sound body idea of
education as the true ideal. Foot ball
and baseball are alright in season, but
for all-round training and development
the modern gymnasium is a necessary
part Of education Wake Forest is now
well equipped here as in other essen
tails, and starts the new century with
Faith, Equipment and High Ideals. DR..
Skinner was not wrong when he predicted
that in the next ten years the growth
of the college would be greater than
during it's past fifty years, and DR.. HUFF
ham, who has given fortyseven years
of devotion to its best interests, is right
in saying that there is no interest or
community or hamlet in the State that
has not been blessed by the influences
that have emanated from this institution
of learning.

Mocksyille, n. c.. June 1.-The closing
exercises of Sunny Side Seminary took
place last night, at the Baptist Arbor
before a large and appreciative audience.
The stage was most beautifully decorated
and presented an effect that charmed the
facination of the lovers of taste and
beauty Everything passed off very pleas
antly, and the teachers certainly deserve
credit for bringing this scholastic year
to a happy and successful close.
Miss Maud England, of Canton who has
been the music teacher at Sunny Side,

greet of her many friends here.

These things are not criminal in them
selves, he continued, serenely obliyious
to the expressions Of the faces of large
part of his audience, "but if a person
parts his hair in the middle or tattoos
his body or wears one of these new shirt

If it be claimed that, if the three OPP
posing candidates had withdrawn in favor
of a single one to oppose Mr.. Lincoln,
many persons who supported the latter
would have voted for such an one, Hon.
Stephen A. Douglas, himself one of the
candidates, gives the answer. In reply to
such a proposition from Hon. Jefferson
Davis, Mr.. Douglas said that III he were
withdrawn his friends, mainly Northern
Democrats, would join in the support OF
Mr. Lincoln, rather than for any one
that should supplant him )Douglas") AS
