A FIGHT
FOR CONTROL.
Strife Exists Among Military
Institute Incorporators.
TWO FAGTIOUS SEEKING POSSESSION.

The first annual meeting of the IN.
coTporators of the Columbia Military
Institute was set for today in Nash
vile. though Prof w. L. Bostick
stated that he had not received notice
of the meg ting. One purpose of the
meeting is said to he for the election
of new set of directors and officers,
an important matter to the incorpor-
ators just at present for two factions
have arisen among them-both desiring
absolute control of the valuable prop.
erty, both ruled by selfish motives and
a desire for private gam.
In the meantime the interests of the
school are suffering, and Clumbia,
whence the valuable site was received
by the Government absolutely free of
charge, is treated with indifference
and has heen blinded by fair promises.
The people of Columbia have not
been allowed tc see beneath the sur
face. This property. worth a quarter
of million dollars is valuable find
to the man who can control it, and 1T
was an unfortunate day when it was
allowed to pass into the possession of
people who have not the interests of
the people of this section at heart.
