The query for debat^ was: Resolved, That the South is destined to become the ruling powtr of the nation, '''he affirmative side ar- »nied that since the Panama Canal would soon open, t.'in. forcigti '’/yintries would do most of Uieir trading with t ‘ South, and that, with all the foreign ships ;v:'ssing through the Ca nal, it would be more "onvenient for them to do their trading witli th;> Southern folks. They also mentioned that thi South was and would coiitinue to be the grej^test agricultural coun try in the world. ” The negative side rrgued that the South could never competr > Ith the North in the education of greater iiiinds. The North is jiublishing all the magazines and great books, •and they are better situated from an educa tional standpoint. T»” tjebate was won by the negative. 15est sp -iker on the affirmative, W.

Wilkins took the debating honors on their respective sides. Mr. I. R. Gunn won the oratorical honors of the evening. We are some busy society workers. This meeting we stayed at it until the lights went out, and every minute brought something good. C. S. PSIPHELIAN. The Psiphelians met last Monday evening to enjoy a program far better than any prev ious one of this year. Each member seems to take the work seriously, even the new members doing excellent work. The three best selections were those of Miss es Mary Johnston, Nina Pinnix, and Hattie Belle Smith. Miss Johnston gave us an orig inal poem on high school days. Misses Pinnix and Smith read essays on art and nature. Both papers were excellent. With such good work to encourage us, we feel that the society has a fine year before it. B. CTtO.

Last Fritlay evening there occurred on tlie Elon athletic grounds two tennis matches, one of singles and one of doubles, between Elon and Guilford College. The Guilford boys were ahead of Elon when it came to serving and placing the ball, therefore, they got away with both games. The score was 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 in the doubles, and the singles w'ent 7-5, 6-3 between Revell and Brown, and 6-1, 6-1 between Holland and Joyner. Revell and Holland represented Elon, while Brown and Joyner did the work for Guilford. Elon has been very weak along the tennis line because of the fact that there have not been sufficient courts to fill the needs. However, our boys hope to do more now than ever before. Two new courts have been made and will be in good shape soon. subscribe to the Weekly.
