More Than $25, 900 Subscribed for
New Building.

The thirty-day canvass Of the colored r.
N. C. A. for its building fund closes trf-
umphantly today. More than $4,000 has
been subscribed. The exact figures will be

The conclusion Of this canvass speaks
well for the association and the capacity
Of its leaders to organize race resources.
With the exception of a small part of the
money subscribed. the bulk of 1t comes
from the colored people themselves. Many
of them have made sacrifices In order to
insure the erection of the plant, which Is
destined to be Of great usefulness to the
community.

concerned that the condition il favorable for

lions are said to be easy as far as the sup
said they have the funds available for loans.
1t Is still asserted that the banks are
pretty well loaned up on local securities,
but as there Is no market those having such
loans are unable to dispose of the securities.
