The people Of the city Of Oxford,
County of Lafayette and State Of
Mississippi should ponder well the
following facts Of Chancellor Kincan,

fairs. Mr., Kincannon has been Chan
cellor. S years and here is a partial
list of some things accomplished:
Gordon Hall, $4,000; Laundry, $4,000
Light Plant, $4,000, Hospital remod.

Library $4,000; Peabody Educational

cal Department, $4,000 Professors
Residences, $4,000; Furniture, $12,-
900; 800 acres pine land $4,000;
Books, $4,000; All buildings repaired
$4,000; Engineering Department. S3,,
900. These are some Of the improve
ments which are on the campus to
show for themselves. Since Mr.. Kin.
cannon has been Chancellor 3 Legis-
%Iatures have sat and have made ap-
preparations for the University. Here
these appropriations are:
Session l, 100000, Session 2,
S242000; Session 3, $215,000, In
addition to this Mr.. Kincannon has Sc
cured the following amounts from other
sources: Andrew Carnegie $4,000;
Peabody Board $4,000; Carnegie
Steel Bonds $4,000 permanent en-
dowment); 800 acres land $4,000;
FurIong Estate $4,000. The total of
this is S898,00 One more l%egisIa-

in 7 years. The most Of this money
was spent in Oxford and Lafayette
County. 1t was put into our banks
bought groceries, dry goods, hardware
and in fact everything that any of
our people have to sell, and became
a part Of our financial assets. Yet,
there are men in Oxford and in The
county who benefit directly from this
o%puIent stream Of money who knock
the management Of the University,
professionally and in a business way
who smell something rotten all the
time, who never lose an opportunity tic
knock, knock, knock. How much
more do you want a man to do? Are
you c%ussing the Chancellor because
he hasn't got two million dollars anc

There's another mar in the magage
