Durham, Oct. 30—Durham’s negro population is rejoicing over an additional gift of $5,000 from Benjamin N. Duke and which is to be used in the liquidation of all debts of the new Lincoln Hospital, which was thrown open to the public a few months ago and which is conceded to be one of the best equipped hospitals for negroes in the South. Mr. Duke had previously donated $25,000 to the hospital fund and his additional gift of $5,000 came just when the institution was most in need of money with which to pay pressing debts.
