A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

County Treasurer, J. r. Jones has
turned in report to County Attor-
ney, Jas. S. Golden showing a $4,000
deposit for payment of interest and
reduction of note bonds against the
county. He also showed that the
Fiscal Court had saved something
like $6,O0O.OO out of last years rev.
enue with all debts paid. This is
doubtless the result of the business
methods of bookkeeping applied by
the Fiscal Court and County Attor-
ney coupled with good horse sense
which is better than genius anytime.
This is the first time that the coun-
ty has lived within its means and the
administration is to be congratulate
ed in being able to come out with
such an admirable record.

rNiOS .CoLLEGE ENDOWMENT
CAMPAIGN

At a meeting of citizens Monday
in the offices Of Judge j. NJ. Robsion,
President Franklin made statement
regarding the campoign TO raise fund
tor the endowment OF Union College.
He aroused great enthusiasm by
announcing that the Centenary had
taken Union College into its plans to
the extent OF s1OO, 100000 but expects
the citizens OF Barbourville and vi
entity to raise s25,OO0.OO to build
the necessary buildings. This money
is to show their Goodwill and interest
in the college work. 1t is not intend
ed to be understood that this $25,
10000 is actually to be used for this
purpose, as the payments are to be
made over period of five years, and
the work will be commenced as soon
as practicable but in actually, the
money is for this purpose and the
citizens, when they have raised the
money will be credited with the work
of the additional buildings.
Local comittees were empowered
to call on others to assist in whirl-
wind campaign and 1t is hoped to
raise the money this week.
The raising Of $4,000 will mean
.the permanancy of Union College as
a standardized college and in a few
years, the endowment will unques-
tionably be doubled, more students
will be attending and spend thous-
ands of dollars in the city.
President Franklin pointed out
that the college will be the means of
bringing a fine type of young man
hood and womanhood to Barbourville
will offer excellent opportunities a
long educational lines to the boys
and girls of Knox county adm that
young women of our city will have
their pick of the best, socially and
IlOTdlly lHIOubn Ilo lhAiuA VI ANN
tious young men.
Nothing else that could be brought
TO Barbourville at a cost of $4,000
will equal the dividends that the Col
lege will pay in hard cash and, in
reality, the citizens are putting up
$4,000 against s250,OO0.Oo.
Other enthusiastic speakers were
Judge Dishman, who said the invest
ment would prove more profitable
than government bonds, lands, hous-
es or lots. 1t is an investment in
citizenship.
Rev F. W, Harrop spoke of the
college. as the institution where his
daughter had been trained to fine
womanhood and said Harlan would
gladly put up 500, 10000 could it
have the opportunity to secure the

One of the greatest events of the
year that showed the true loyalty of
onion College students, was the a
mount raised in one chapel hour for
the U. c. building fund.
At the conference banquet, early
in the Fall DR.. Franklin made the
statement that he wished $1,000 to
be raised by the student body alone.
This sum seemed immense, but on
Tuesday morning an unexpected sum
was pledged, which showed the I'm
ionites enthusiasm in wishing to bet
ter their college. The Senior Acad-
amy class of ten members pledged
$4,000, each member having pledg-
ed $4,000.
The Freshman Acadamy Glass
gave S245.OO, Normal gave $4,000,
and even the Graded Department
showed their colors. The Sopho-
more Acadamy Glass raised over
$4,000 with considerable number
of personal amounts to raise this sum
The two $4,000 pledges of the Soph-
ignores were promised by Otis Bur
roughs and Oscar McBrayer, while
the $4,000 pledges were given by
Chesley Franklin, Edgar Burke and
Henry Payne. Mr.. Petty Franklin
of the Senior College gave 10000
and Mr.. Archibald of the Freshman
College Glass gave $4,000. The Jun
ior College Glass then pledged $4,000
The total was $3,O35 which was
far above the amount expected. Now
that Union has shown its spirit, W.
are looking to the town to help with
just as much enthusiasm.
