THE McIVER MEMORIAL

GeIdSbore Young Lady Has Been
MeVing Spirit in Raising EndOW-

At Greens boro last night, as report
ed in the Industrial News this morn
ing, the McIver Memorial building, O.
the State Normal and Industrial Col
lege, was fittingly dedicated at a~meet-
ing of the Guilford Alumnae Asso-
citation, at which the alumnae pledged
themselves 10 raise at least $4,000 for
the McIver loan fund. This was tb g
first public meeting held in the new
building, and it was declared the dedi-
catory meeting, although there were
no formal exercises.
Miss Eta Spier. of Colds boro, presi-
dent of the Guiltord Alumnae Asso-
citation of the State Normal and Indus
trial College, and member of the
faculty, presided over the meeting and
explained the object in raising the pre-
posed $50, 600, to be known as the Nc
Jver loan fund. The money is to be
loaned to worthy young women who
are unable to otherwise get an educa-
ton.
The state association has undertaken
the work of raising the $4,000, and
through the country associations ac-
tive soliciting will be done. Miss Spitr
stated that she had visited 26 counties
in which the work has been organized

after this great loss, the dividends paid
are shown to have been fully earned.
When the year is divided into parts,
it readily becomes apparent that the
road suffered severely from the effects
of the business depression which fol-
lowed closely upon the heels of the
financial revulsion experienced by the
country in October and November OF
last year.
In the freight revenue the loss for the
twelve months amounted to $7O4. .523,
but in the passenger traffic there was
an increase of $195, ,592, this last being
attributable however, mainly to the
travel to the jamestown Exposition
held in Norfolk, Va, which was in
progress during the first five months of
the fiscal year.
The really gratifying feature in the
operations for the year is that during
the last six months, the management
succeeded in getting control of the ex-
pense accounts and effected very SUBJ
stantial reductions in operating cost.
The report contains a discussion
the effects of the lever passenger rates
forced upon the road in the different
States through which the lines of the
system run, showing that these lower
By agreement with the railroad COM
missions OF most of the States served
by the system there was put into effect
on April /, 1913, as an experiment, re-
duced passenger rates, including a
cents per mile interchangeable mileage
tickets. Figures are given showing
that the experiment is proving costly
one. The company had large in
crease in through travel during the
winter months to and from Southern
the month of April. AS the result of
this increase in travel, passenger reve-
nues for April still showed an increase
of $33, 1876, as compared with the cor
resonding month in 1907. But in May
passe niger receipts, as com pared with
1907, toIl off $40, 1884, in June $95, 1872, in
July S92, ,l22, in August $l15, ,939 and i'll
September $1O4 .664. In other words,
in the five months following April (the
last month of the heavy through traveD
passenger revenues tell off no less than
$457 ,o9l, equal to IT'S per cent. OF
this, $l64 900, we are told, is to be at
tributed To the helding of the James,
town Exposition last year, and of the
remainder an average OF $4,000 per
month is due to the lower passenger
rates.
1t is well to have the facts presented
in such a clear and Ineligible way,
and it is to be hoped thae this shown g
will have a salutary effect upon the
auth critics in the different States, in
ducing them to retrace their steps and
adopt more reasonable attitude here
