 OF SUCCESS OR FAILURE Business Advantages of the Great School Make Strong Appeal. Institution With Its Hundreds of stu- dents and Thousands of Families Attracted to City would Re

Today Is the last day for subscrip- tions for the Methodist College, and there still remains about $4,000 that has not been secured.
 Notwithstanding the hard work of the committees representing the Com mercial Club, and despite the manifest advantages of securing the college for Montgomery, and that 1t would return to the business men of the Capital City an. hundredfold every dollar subscribed for the monster school to be proposed to be established here, the fund still lacks about s4.000.
 wirh the exceedingly short time re- maining in which to succeed or fail in securing the Methodist College, is giv- ing the directors of the Commercial Club, who are thoroughly alive to the importance of success no little concern. It Is necessary to notify the committee of the two Methodist conferences of Alabama today whether Montgomery will grasp the opportunity, or will cast it aside, to be picked up by some more enterprising city.
 There is none who is so blind to the facts and so regardless of the future of the city as not to want the college.I The one thing which will defeat the enter between the Commercial Club Commit tees today and success, will be the apathy of large number of business men. While many have responded ib- orally and freely. others have not, seeming to feel that the college will be secured, and they will be permitted to reap It's benefits without the expendit- ure of any money.

ing that the. entire citizenship must pull together In one last strong effort, or the college Is lost. The apathetic must be awakened, and all must lend them4 selves to the last effort.
 Business Advantages Are Great
 The securing of the college, entirely edScatioDai Hs @ adyantages @ s % to be 0d derived, @ which are so great as to be practically immeasurable. will bring to the city an institution with something in the outset. This number will be increased within the next few years to probably 500.
 within the next few years the college to be located in Montgomery at this time will be an institution with a half million dollar plant-one of the great est institutions of its kind In the South.
 The business advantages of such an institution are very great to the com- merciai interests of the city in which it Is located. In addition to the actual expenditures of the faculty and stu dents of the institution, which far out strip the amount of money expended by mills or similar industries with a like number of attaches, hundreds and even thousands of families, with the many wants to be supplied that culture ere ates. may reasonably be expected to be- come domiciled in the cit:- having such an institution of learning within it's borders.
 The various committees that have been canvassing the business men of the city in behalf of the Commercial Club, composed of busy business men who. realizing the importance of secur- ing this great school for Montgomery, have dropped their private business af- fairs and gone out unselfishly to work for the interests of the g.eater Mont gomery will keep to work today
 There are a few business men who have not yet been seen. and there are others who took the matter of their subscriptions under consideration, when seen by the committee on it's first rounds All these will be paid a second visit, completing the canvass or the city, In an effort to raise the balance of the fund in the single day that remains for work.

tell the tale. The prize is in sight. Will Montgomery seize It? Will Mont. gomery let the midnight bell toll the passing of this great opportunity? Will Montgomery be so unjust, so untrue to herself and the, best and highest in- terests of the present and the future as now to, fail?
 Better we had never tiled than now to fail. Generously and promptly have we met every demand made for the benefit of others-surely we must now respond to this call which promises so infinitely for our commercial, educa- tional, social, moral and religious we'll fare.
 Today 5000 must be dedicated to these higher interests. Today we must answer Today we complete the record. Shall 1t be success or failure?
 Failure means losses we fear to con- template. Success means untold ad- vantages and benefits in influences not now felt In this community.
 Montgomery has never failed-she most not fail now. Her mothers and daughters will answer to the cali, her fathers and sons will rush to her as- sistance, and before the day is done the battle will be won.

For the past week almost score of our busiest and mosH influential busi- ness and professional men have unself- ishly laid aside their own affairs to canvass for the college fund. They have realized the vast importance to the city and the enormous bene1ts which must come from securing the college.
 Convinced beyond all question that as business proposition the college will be worth infinitely more than the S50,000 necessary to secure it. they have invested 1iberally time, money and the hardest kind of work.
 They have not overlooked the incal- culable moral and religious influences and benefits which cannot be measured by monetary standards. They say em- phatically that 1t is the best propo- sition and greatest opportunity Mont gomery has ever had They have worked faithfully. arduously, unself- ishly, for the general good.
 Many have fully appreciated the op- portunity and contributed cheerfully. generously. promptly. Others have failed to do what has been expected of them and some have turned deaf ears to all appeals and refused to give anything
