Emory’s Endowment.
Our readers’ attention is called
to a statement in another column
made by Emory’s Endowment cam
paign committee. The success of
this campaign meahs not only ad¬
ding $300,000.00 to the endowment
of that noble institution*, but si¬
lences forever the suggestion of
moving it from the hounds of this
county.
Emory College has come down
to us from its founders within the
limits of Newton county and we
have taken its existence among
us for granted without realizing
what the college is to our section
of the state.
Aside from the fact that Emory
pays annually $1300.00 into the
treasury of the county and the fur¬
ther fact that $100,000 00 is paid
out annually by this instution
within the bounds of Newton we
would remind the citizens of this
that the college is our institution,
located within the bounds of our
county and whatever of honor or
glory pertains to it is ours also by
right of poisessien.
The Enterprise cordially sup¬
ports Dr. Dickey in his campaign
for endowment and calls upon the
patriotic people of Newton county
to assist him in bringing thi 3 cam¬
paign to a successful issue.
It is to the interest of every cit¬
izen and business man of Coving¬
ton to get busy for waterworks
and sewerage system. Ask your
friends and everybody you come in
contact with to vote for this im¬
provement, and watch the result.
Bentley’s Announcement.
W. F. Bentley, Populist, Anti¬
prohibitionist, Independent, and
running on what he calls “Thomas
Jefferson doctrine,” equal rights
to all and special privileges to none,
has announced his intention to
run for Representative of Newton
county in the October election.
This week he has issued a circu¬
lar carrying his announcement and
platform, in which he endeavors to
make the voters of this county be¬
lieve that the affairs of Newton
county and the State should be
managed in a like manner.
!T* While we do not believe that
Mr. Bentley’s announcement for
Representative will cause any
alarm, or that there is the slighest
chance for his election, we might
suggest right here that this would
be a good opportunity for the
voters of the Democratic party to
come together and give the nom¬
inee just such a majority as to keep
down such candidates as this Bent
lev, and forever silence the Inde¬
pendents and others who want of¬
fice by stirring up friction
our people.
Let’s lay aside all differences and
everybody get busy for bigger and
greater Covington by casting a
vote for waterworks on S->p:. 10.
Commissioners to be E'ected.
A bill to provide Newton county
with five Commissioners instead of
three has pass d the Legislature
and been declared a law, and nat¬
urally the question c <ines up as t
who will run for the office.
The friends of two of the equi¬
ty’s most influential citizens and
men whom we believe that the .in¬
terest of the county would be con¬
scientiously looked after, have
been mentioned with a request that
we use same for publication, and
they are: Mr. John K. Echols, of
Town district, ai d Mr. J. AY. F.
Park, of Almon district.
The suggestion of these gentle¬
men, we believe to be a good one.
They are good business men; men
who have managed their own af¬
fairs with success and we believe
would manage the affairs .of the
county with success and to the
best interest of the county.
The Board of Commissioners is
now composed cf Messrs. J. Z.
Johnaon, E. L. Almaud, and C.
R. Rogers, and the addition of
Messrs Echols aud Park wc believe
would make a co-operative body
and one that would work to the
interest and welfare of Newton
county.
It is the duty of every citizen to
go to the polls n Sopt. 10th and
cast a vote for waterworks.

t!ii? inter-;! approaching si crisis.
State institutions have be»n in¬
creasing in nu nlier and e'fieiencv
by reason, < f legislative nupport,
while the income of denomination•
al eo!leges have been, and is coi -
stantlv depleted by taxation.
Moreover, Fouiiclations which are
not in svmpaOiv with denomina¬
tional institutions have withheld
support from Emory College, b->.
cause of its strict adherence to the
purpose ot thos 1 who secured a
charter for the Colb ge as t he prop¬
erty of our Church.- In order to
provide instruction e.s full and
efficient as that offered by state
institutions and by those fostered
by these Educational Foundations
it is absolutely necessary that the
endowment of Emory College be
increased to half a million ^dollars.
The authorities of the College have
therefore resolved to raise $300
000.00 for the endowment fund.
Realizing that the College is the
property of the Church and that it
existence ana support, is due to
that source, the Trustees feel that
it is tl eir duty to provide a theo¬
logical course whereby our
ministerial student may be better
prepared for their duties as ser¬
vants of the Church. To this
| end by resolution, it was decided
to devote $100,000.00 of this pro¬
spective endowment to the estab¬
lishment of a theological depart¬
ment at Emory.
The remaining $200,000.00 will
be used as an endowment to im¬
prove the already admirable work
leading to the full literary and
scientific courses offered by this
institution. The leadership of this
Campaign was committed to the
President of the College and by
request a Campaign Committee
was associated with him which
consists of the following geutle
ment:
Joel T. Daves W. C. Lovett A.
G. Candler.
Ceo. Wiuship W. P. Putiilo L
B. Robeson.
. Tiie conditions of subscription
areas follows: No subscription
shall be binding until the entire
amount of $300,000.00 shall have
been subscribed. When this
amount shave been secured, then
the subscribers will give their
notes for the amount subscribed,
payable in five aunual installments
with interst at G per cent per
annum. * Under the above rule the
subscriber will understand that his
subscription is made with" a view
of securing nothing less than
$300,000.00. It is believed that
this regulation will stimulate the
generosity of those who wish to
see Emory College properly en
dowed.
Bfy act of the Trustees, the
pledge of $30,000 00 made by the
Alumni Association for the pur¬
poses of erdowing the Alumni
Professorship becomes a part of
this general movement. This
amount will be raised by life mem¬
berships of $100.00 each. Anv
matriculate of the College who
will pay $20 00 (approximately)
and give four notes of $20.00 cash,
each payable in one. two, three,
and four years with interest at 6
P’-r cent is entitled to a life mem
bersh.p in the association.
G itu $100,000.00 of tlie amount
desired already pledged, we feel
assured that the remaining $200,
GoO 00 will be secured within the
near future. The fact that the
Baptists of Georgia have just cum
pitted a successful campaign for
4300.000.00 stimulates our faith to
believe that the Methodists of this
commonwealth will not be less
responsive to-the imperative need
of their Church.
