McAnal1y, of High Point, and nearly as
much from DR.. Dred Peacock, while sew

When the question was asked if there

CATION from Thomasville was introduced.
Rev C. M. Campbell, Mayor ]. w. Lam
beth. Chief Engineer r. l.. Lambeth. ex-
Sheriff C. NJ Griffith, and Manufactures
F. S. Lambeth, composed this Thomas
vile band of conquerors of Greensboro
Female College. Speaking for the dele
cation Mr.. r. S. Lambeth created gen.
uine sensation and an uproarous enthus-
iasm by saying that Thomasville had sent
this delegation here to offer the board
building capable of taking care OF $50 stu
dents. with 16 acres of ground, and all
that was needed to open college next Mon
day was the furniture; that it was not
for lack of faith in Greensboro. or con-
fidence in Greensboro colleges past record
that this offer had been thought OF, but
for the purpose of rendering a favor to the
Methodist church in this hour OF trial;
but since he and his companions had ar
rived here they had caught the Greens
boro spirit, he saw that the college would
just have to be rebuilt here and he had
no proposition to offer for Thomasvllle,
he only wished TO have his own subscrlp-
ton to a rebuilding fund taken, and he
rendered 500, with the provlso that II
should be 5000 if necessary, and he also to
have his fourteen-year-old daughter S
name entered on the roll for admission to
the rebabilitated and improved college
when its session began September next

greeted this splendid speech, the voice OF
DR.. Carraway could be heard, Eyes, Yes.
Another Paul converted on the way to
! Damascus Rev Mr.. Campbell followed
I Mr. Lambeth, declaring that he too had
surrendered although he was sent here to
proclaim the good tidings of building
| for Greensboro at Thomasville. Amid the
| hand-clapping which greeted this, could be
heard the voice of Chairman Smith, Yes,
yes, Brother Turrentine spiked your gun
when he made you open this meeting with
PRAYER. :,
After passing resolution requesting all
pastors of both conferences to observe a
| Greensboro Female College day in their
churches in the near future, requesting a
contribution of at least one dollar per
member towards rebuilding fund, the
board took a recess until O'Clock.
Some suggestion was made that MISS
Mamie Lee Smith act as a body guard
for the Thomasville delegation and see
that upon their arrival home tonight they
were not molested. Miss Smith was not
afraid to undertake the courageous chap
eronage, but it was concluded that the
board could not get along without her
and the delegation was permitted to re-
turn home unprotected.
