came In on the last lap, with the
marvellous report and great financial
assistance given to the campaign on
the last day by the students of Me-
harry Medical College, Fisk Uniyersi-
ty and the A and State Normal,
were pronounced as one of the great
est that has ever been known OF.
When the benediction was pro-
nOunced by the Rev. DR.. Stevens ct
the end of the campaign it was the
concensus of opinion that the battle
had been fought and the victory won.
A SPLENDID RESULT, I'VE HAVE
RAISED 1T ALL OVER TWENTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS RAISED BY
ARDENT CHRISTIAN WORKERS.
AS far as the colored Y. M. C. A.
campaign for $4,000 is concerned they
have raised it all" AS a result of
the days work Friday cash and sub
scriptions to the amount of $9.305.7S
was reported at the meeting Friday
night held in the parlor OF the Duncan
Hotel, now the home of the Colored
Y. M. C. A.
This splendid result came only
after an effort in which the combined
strength of the workers was thorough
ly utilized, and then some. The re-
gular working force was supplemented
by work ers from the various schools
and colleges and men and women who
had previously worked in the campaign
of 1914. Probably the efforts Of these
additional workers are largely respon
sible for the splendid victory which
spelled triumph in the face of defeat
The men had set out to do the work
/ in the allotted time, and anything
short of this on the part of the colored
workers meant, according to their way
of thinging, doom to the work fol-
which they had worked for many
years.
The opening scenes of the evening
were of nature that predicted the
triumphal march of the workers as
they came filing in from all parts o
the city. First came the boys of thu
Pearl High School divisions. then thu
workers of the Wowen's Auxiliary, fol
lowed closely by the Representative!
who covered the larger educatityNl in
situations of the city and then the re
gular workers. To this was added thu
mapeuvers of Division B, headed by
Milam's baseball hand, who were cele
brating in advance their victory owe
Division A in raising the larges
amount of cash and subscriptions dur
ing the campaign. Later on, however
this splendid spirit was dampenet
when the reports of the evening showed
that team of Division A had wrestet
the pennant from team of Division
B. by turning in for the day the lar
gest amount of subscriptions. Thi
honor went to team number five, Di
vision A. VIM D. Laws, Captain. Hi
actual team report amounted to $536
49, but the report of his supplemental
workers from the several universi
ties swelled his grand total to $3.50
60.
. Following the report of the team
Chairman Napier announced that the

subscriptions that guaranteed the $40

been heard before in the walls of thi
