MAGNIFICENT DONATION TO THE
UNIVERSITY.

EX-Judge ". p. Bynum, of Charlotte,
Court bench up to 1877, has made a do
nation of twenty-five thousand dollars to
the University to erect a gymnasium as
a memorial OF his grandson, William Pres
ton Bynum, Jr..who died during his student
life at the University. He was a young
man Of fine abilities and gave promise of
a career that would add additional honor
to the name he bore. 1t is fitting that a
memorial should be erected to him upon
the campus of the University, which
mourned the untimely death of its bril-
liant young alumnus.
The friends of the University will be
grateful to Judge Bynum for this generous
donation. The chief need of the institu-
ton is a modern, w~ell-equipped gymnas-
ium, and in supplying it Judge Bynum
has given Il memorial of his talented
grand son that Is peculiarly appropriate.
Except the Mary Ann Smith bequest
this is the largest single donation to the
University, said President Venable yester-
day. Since June of this year, in addition
to this donation of twenty-five thousand
dollars, friends and alumni have given
IS goo for the erection of a Y. NJ. c.. A.
building and Mr.. John Sprunt Hill has
given $4,000 for a fellowship in history.
Money cannot be better employed than
in thus Investing it in immortal mind y

E5HO FROM DEWEY'S LETTER.

We publish elsewhere the action Of the
directors of the Merchants and Farmers
Bank, of New Bern, Withdrawing the re-
ward they formally made some weeks ago
for the apprehension of Cashier Dewey.
The reasons they give for the withdrawal
would indicate that they expect Cashier
Dewey soon to return and meet the
charges against him. They would hardly
have withdrawn the offer of the reward
unless they believed he would return or
were in communication with him.

TWO sOILING CROPS IN \ SEASON.

The editor has been very much inter
ested III the crops on 4 field he passes
daily going to his own farm. 1t is the
farm of the North Carolina College Of
Agriculture. This field had a sod OF
grass on it which had been grazed pretty
hard during winter and early spring.
1t was broken and planted in corn, and
a finer growth of corn IS seldom seen.
l estimated that it would make IRON 80
to IS bushels per acre. But as soon as
the ears hung heavily on the stalks the
corn was cut and fed to cattle in the
stables, and as the land was cleared,

the heavy mass Of peas has been gradu-
ally cut and fed to balance the corn from
another field. The amount OF green food
this field has furnished this season has
c~ertinly been very large, and it well
illustrates what the Southern farmer
can do with cattle if he will. With a
field near the barn where manure is

THE TALKING NAN.

At q Farmers Institute there is moth
ing that adds more to the interest and
profit OF the meeting than a lively pump
ing OF the lecturer with questions peril
nent TO the topic under discussion. At
the same time, there is no greater nuI-
sance than the fellow who everlastingly
interjects his questions for the mere pur-
pose of airing his crude theories. We
found one OF these know It all gentle
men at one Of our Summer Institutes. He
claimed to be an experimental farmer
and had worked out everything practi-
Cally, and ever and amor he punctuated
the lecturers remarks with questions
which he proceeded to answer himself,
evidently with the notion that no Elk
pertinent Station has ever experimental
so accurately as he had. Sc instead OF
adding to the interest of the meeting our
taking man worried and tired the hun
dreds who We're there intent on getting
something new out of the meeting, and at
the close we felt that we had failed to
accomplish what we might have done had
the talken been absent. Ii a farrnre
thinks that he has ideas of value to sug-
gest, he should, by all means, try to
get a place on the regular programme,
and not endeavor to make another mans
address for him. Throw in tie questions
as fast as you please, but do not make
them an excuse for airing crude theories.
for the most complete theorist i tne
man who Imaglnes that he IS the only

ers, who are the intensel. pracucal men,
reducing everything to weight and meas
ure and guessing at nothing. are me
real practical men, who indulge in no
urtried theories whatever.

No Nor. sunday Excursions.

During the two previous seasons
Alliance has made up an annual ex-
cursion to Hot Springs, same being
phenomenally successful, and taking
several hundred people to and from
that famous resort by special train.
1t was intended that the one for this
year should be the last Sunday in July,
but upon reference of the matter to
the passenger department at Omaha
by Agent kridelbaugh, he was in
formed that it was against the present
policy of the road. He then conclud.
ed to try for rate for Saturday ex-
cursion on the 25th, but this also was
refused. 1t is presumed that the
management after counting the cost
of special equipment, estimates that
there is more money for the road i'll
handling the regular business. Many
people will be greatly disappointed
There is /, regular excursion rate every
Saturday and Sunday to the Springs

people could agree to go on a certain

A DRAMA OF the CLINIC.
How DIR. Lorenz's Prompt Action
Saved Boy Patients Life.

How DIR. LOrenz's Prompt Action
Saved Boy Patients Life.
While Professor .Adolph J. Lorenz
eighty -year-o!d boy, Allan Nichols, at the
City hospital in Rochester, n. V, he
noticed change in the appearance of
the skin OH the foot and. turning quick
~, saw that the annsthetic had been
TOO strong and that the boy had
stopped breathing, says the New York
Evening Journal. Without Aloments
hesitation he stopped work and, wav-
ing aside the attendants, began to re-
store respiration by artificial means.
Although Mt one time he feared his ef-
forts would prove unavailing. he con-
tinued until the little chest heavcd
again and the lad was fully restored.
The case was such difficult one
and the surgeon was obliged to use so
much of his strength that he was work
ing barcfooted in order that he might
not slip on the polished floor. AS he
crushed and manipulated the deformed
foot he explained the process to the
large number of physicians assembled.
Without losing his iron nerve for a
second. he quickly seized the boys
arms and proceeded with artificial
respiration. Steadily and methodically
he worked for at least minute, and
then he murmured:
"Ne is gone"
Still he did not cease his efforts, but
rather increased the rapidity of his
movements. An attendant brought an
oxygen tank, and fully three minutes
after the boys breathing had stopped
the great surgeon dropped the little
arms and. turning to the silent onlool-
ers. said. without a change of tone:
1.-The little lad is all right now.'

A BIG WAsH-OUT.
North Western and Burlington Railroads
Both Suffer Big Loss.

North Western and burlington Railroads
both Suffer Big Loss.
Last Thursday afternoon a terrible
rain storm visited the region south of
here along the North Western and
Burlington railroads, destroying quite
an extent of railroad, and delaying all
traffic. The Burlington trains we're
delayed "a hours and the North West
ern about 50 hours-the latter making
an overland transfer Sunday, bring
ing in delayed mail of three days.
The storm on the Burlington was
between Ardmore and Crawford and
washed out about 1000 feet of track
and three small bridges. One life was
lost. Prof. w. G. Phipps, formerly
superintendent of the Chadron schools,
but recently of the state university at
Lincoln, was with q party of graders,
camped on a slight rise of ground be-
tween two ravines, when wall of
water ten feet high came sweeping
across their camp ground, taking
everything before it. Prof. Phipps
could not swim and was drowned. His
body was afterwards found 300 feet
below where he was overcome, and the
remains taken to Chadron for burial.
Along the North Western the cloud
burst was in the vicinity of Bordeaux,
several miles east of Chadron. Sud
denly Bordeaux creek raised seven
feet, taking out bridges and washing
out the grade for several miles. ltwas
the heaviest flood the North Western
has encountered on this division for "A
number of years.
