education" His pastor said of Mr..
Rich at his funeral, sit was perhaps
not as a business man and upright
citizen that he was best known dur
ing his A years in Winston-Salem,
but as Christian"
Mr.. Rich, a poor country boy born
in Davie county, started working in
tobacco factory when he was 13
years old at 10 cents day, as he
was early thrown on his own re-
Souces. His formal education was
limited as there was not free pub
lie high school in the state when he
was boy, and only the well-to-do
could afford to seek high school
education elsewhere. MI. Rich's
philanthropy has embraced churches
and Christian schools alike.
The saith session at Campbell will
begin Tuesday, September "a, in the
of the D. Rich Memorial
building.

Rich Fund
Gives Money
To Campbell

Buie's Creek, Sept. 2O.-D. Rich,
wealthy tobacconist of Winston
Salem who died 16 years ago, re-
Gently gave his fourth and last gilt
to Cmapbell College, Baptist junior
college here. This bequest came TO
Campbell on the death of relative.
Mr.. Rich's previous gifts to Camp
bell have totalled about S222,500
which has gone into buildings. He
invested 100000 in the Carrie Rich
Memorial Library in memory OF his
first wife A donation Of $4,000 help
ed in the construction of the college
gym. At his death in 1924 he left
S16O,OOO which the trustees used in
erecting the D. Rich Memorial Ad-
ministration building.
This last bequest, in stocks and
bonds valued from S150,0O0 to $780,
900 will probably be applied on en-
dowment.
"Mr. Rich's first gifts, coming when
they did, virtually saved our in
stitution," explains President Leslie
H. Campbell, son of the founder, the
late DR.. J. A. Campbell. "They made
possible the transition from the aca-
denny stage to the Junior college al
time when the academic field for
private institutions was becoming
increasingly restricted by the grow
ing system of public high schools"
On visit to Buie's Creek Academy
before it grew into Campbell Jr.
College, Mr.. Rich said, "Buie's Creek
must live", memorable words that
have not only been emblazoned on
a bronze memorial tablet in the D.
Rich Memorial building, but engrav-
ed on the hearts of many alumni and
friends of Campbell College. Fer
several years prior to his death, MIR.
Rich was treasurer of the R. j. Rey-
nolds Tobacco Company. He once
told Dr. Campbell, the founded-pres-
ident: you're trying to teach poor
boys and girls for the Lords glory,
but don't have enough money for

CHURCH SOCIETIES
ANNOUNCEMENT
Capital Watches Shipstead
Campaign With Interest

Continued from Page One)
Democrats claim to be the country's
liberals, and the Republicans are
more inclined to put the brakes on.
Not New Dealer
Senator Shipstead, to be sure,
though liberal, hasn't been a New
Dealer. He's been his own particular
kind Of liberal-not the New Deal
kind. sal
mat old-line Republicans, Of the
sure-enough conservative type, think
he's liberal was sufficiently shown
by their recent attitude when he
was seeking the G. o. P. senatorial
nomination in Minnesota. They
fought him like sixty. Other Repub-
licans, though, were for him. So were
the Farmer-Laborites, OF his faction.
He was Republicanly nominated
accordingly. ....
With HIM are the Republicans, per-
haps excepting the old-line bunch.
And maybe they, too, will swallow
him. With him, likewise, are an in
determinatc number Of Farmer-La-
borites.
Against him are the anti-Shipstead
Farmer-Laborites, who Senatorlally
nominated Elmer A. Benson, and the
Democrats, who Illuminated John E.
Regain. Minnesota experts say DR..
Shipstead "a doc" because original
ly he was a dentisD ought to win
unless Benson and Regain combine
to oppose him. In that event, it
seems there's no telling.
It's the worst jumbled-up mess in
the country.
That's why politicians are so eX-
cited over it. It's puzzle that in
trigues 'em.
He's Downright Constructive
Senator Shipstead is an exception
ally constructive statesman. He real
ly thinks out what things mean.
For instance, take the matter of
water control. We have floods, no.
tably down tho Mississippi. Henrik
lives at the Mississippi's source. Our
policy is to prevent its overfloWs by
dikes toward its outlet.
"Phoccy!" says Henrik. "1f your
kitchen sink goes on the rampage
and mandates the floor underfoot,
what don't you do? You don't try
to mop it up or bail the place out by
the buckctful. You get plumber
to look at your pipes and taps and
get 'em under subsection. Just so
with downstream floods. Prevent
em at their headWaters."
That's just a mere illustration.
Henrik has offered plenty of such
good suggestions and lot of EN-
have been acted on favorably. He
isn't Just a fault-finder. He tells
what needs to be done about things.
During a large part of his public
career he's been a minority Of one
in the senate. He is now since the
9TH Of tho late Senator Lundccn,
Minnesota Farmer-Laborite. And
now he is a Republican. But, az n
minority lawmaker. he's inspired a
deal more than his fair share Of use
full egislation-more than a goodly
number of major party solons have.
