The trustees of the Holiness Camp Ground Association held their annual business meeting last Wednesday evening and took the first definite steps to see how much the people of butts and adjoining counties are interested in the building of two big colleges at the Camp Ground. A committee consisting of Messrs. H. P. Myers, F. C. Benson and Charlie D. Tilman, the well known singer of Atlanta was appointed to ascertain how much could be raised, and report to the trustees at next Camp Meeting in August. It is expected that the people of this section will do big things toward getting the college under construction. Their purpose is to build first a brick building to be used for a mixed school, until two larger buildings can be constructed, and then use the first building for a girls’ dormitory, and the other two for separate colleges for male and female. The plan is to build a long row, the colleges and dormitory fronting south to the camp ground on the fifty-acre tract recently purchased of the Douglass lands. This committee has already spoken to the promoters of the car line to take under consideration the changing of their plan of extension to Jackson so as to have their tracks pass near enough to the buildings to deliver trunks and other baggage without drayage. Of course it is going to take money, and a lot of it, to do this work but money will gravitate to money and a liberal subscription by the people of Butts county will bring forth liberal subscription from abroad. These Holiness people have strong faith in God’s people to work for what they believe will be for His glory and they believe that much good can be accomplished by the building of these colleges, for the success of which they will work and pray.
