TO ACCEPT GEORGES OFFER.
As a Result OF HammelS Speech q
Subscription WIZ Doubtless be
Raised.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Wilmington, N. c., May 21.-It is
believed as the result of Prof. Ham
mel's excellent address at the High
school commencement last night, that
a popular subscription of $500 for
each of five years will be raised in
order that the city may avail itself of
a generous proposal of Capt. Edward
Payson George, a former resident now
living abroad, to donate $4,000 for
the building of a manual training
school in Wilmington, provided the
educational authorities will agree to-
contribute annually $1,000 for its
maintenance for period of five years.
The present irregular and uncertain
method of raising school revenue,
made it impossible for the county
board of education to accept the pro-
posal, but Prof, Hammel suggested in
the course of his address last night
that Is public-spirited citizens agree
to give 500 each for five years and
Immediately the suggestion jumped
into popular favor. Several tenders
are reported to have been made to-
day and it is confidently expected that
the full amount will be pledged by
the last of the present week when
public announcement of the same will
be made, and steps will be taken to
avail of Capt. Georges noble propo-
sition.
