Balance.
KILOGRAMS ARE SENT OUT
Wealthy Baptlsts are Being Called
Upon TO Come to the Res
cue-Another Meeting
To-Day.
.TELEGRAMS5ARE SENTOUT

Vigorous efforts are being made by
the education commission Of the Bap-
fist General Assocla ton OF Virginia, now
In session in this city, to save to the de-
nomination important school property
now trembling on the brink OF financial
disaster and collapse. Wealthy Baptists
throughout the city and State are being
called upon through personal visits, tele-
grams. letters, and so on to come to
the rescue Of the school. The third sit
ting OF the commission will be held to-
day when 1t will probably be known final
ly whether the institution goes to the
wall or whether it comes through the
fire unscathed.
The school Is the Virginia Institute,
located at Bristol. For some time past
1t has been heavily burdened with debt,
which bore 1t down, and recently the
creditors have been clamoring for their
money. A, SOS 900 mortgage held by eX-
Postmaster-General Gary. of Baltimore.
will be renewed. but a miscellaneous lot
OF debts. amounting to $1,000 are caus-
ing the trouble. If this sum of money
cannot be completed within three or four
days, Bristol will have to be sold.
It IS for the purpose OF making last
effort to get this SUN OF money together
that the commission met here yesterday,
and will meet again to-day. Through the
efforts Of Dr. Hatcher, all but about 81,
400 has been raised, but this little re-
mainder has not been forthcoming. Ways
and means were discussed at length, and
finally 1t was decided to make direct
appeals to Baptsts of means throughout
the State A recess was taken during
which kilograms were sent out in many
direc tions Several members Of the
commission personally visited a number
OF Richmond men.
A second session was held In the after
noon to survey the results. Several re-
plies had been received. and some con.
tributions had come in. But In the ma
jority of cases answers had not yet been
made. After further discussion OF
ways and means. the committee adjourn
ed to meet again this morning at 1C
o'clock, when such other replies as have
come in will be considered.
a hopeful spirit prevails among the
members Of the commission. The secre-
tary, the Rev B. Cabell Hening, who
has taken a great interest in the school,
and who has largely been instrumental In
getting the denomination interested In
1t. said last night that no was encour-
aged to believe that the school would
finally pull through He seemed to ex-
poet much of the meeting to-day.
The members Of the commission in at
tendance upon the session are as follows:
Mr.. Simon Seward, Of Petersburg: Mr..
r. J. Camp. Of Franklin; Judge w, w.
N1offett, Of Salem; Judge w. r. Barks-
