SOCIETY NOTES
ZATASIAN NOTES ..
The program of the Zatasian So
citey for last Friday evening was
planned with with the purpose of
giving the members a clearer know
ledge of the rules of order. Espec
ial emphasis was put on the rules of
debating as the society expects to do
more of tiis type of work this spring
than it has done in the last few
years.
First, Nellie Allen gave a few of
Robert's Rules of Order that apply
most directly to the society. Follow
ing this Marianna White explained
the fundamental rules of debating.
The last number was a debate: Re
solved that capital punishment
should be abolished. Allene John
son and Frances Garner brought out
some good points for the affirmative
but the judges decided in favor of the
negative which was upheld by Jose
phine Mock and Jennie Howard Can
non.
The critic, Alice Chilton, gave a
good report after which she read a
report of the secret critic.
PHILOMATHEAN NOTES
The Philomathean Literary Society
held its second meeting of the new
year Friday evening, January 13.
Every Philomathean seems to have
taken up her work with a determina
tion to make the year of 1922 an
improvement over the past one.
The following program was given:
I. Debate, Resolved, That Congress
should pass the Anti-lynching law
now under consideration. Affirma
tive, Inez White, Grace Winslow;
Negative, Louis Ross, Gladys Futrell.
11. Uncle Remus Story.—Kathleen
Riley.
111. Recitation, "Holding Off the
Calf" by John Charles McNeil —
Sallie Wilkins.
IV. Contribution of Joel Chandler
Harris and JJohn Charles McNeil
to Southern Literature —Annabel
Thompson.
The debaters gave a good argu
ment on the question, the affirmative
proving successful in their contention
that the Anti-lynching law should be
passed.
The remainder of the program was,
devoted to the lives and some of the
"works of two of the great Southern
writers and was of special interest to
southern students.
Ethel Watkins, the critic for the
evening, read a secret critic's report,
which was an appeal to every Philo
mathean to put her best into all
society work that she undertakes.
After some helpful general criticism,
society adjourned.
WEBSTERIAN
A question that has been of ut
most interest to every one in the
state for the past month or so, was
brought up and settled at the last
meeting of the Webs. The query
reads as follows: Resolved, That cap
ital punishment should be abolished.
Although the time for the discussion
of this question had been cut almost
in half, in order to get out ear'y for
the basket ball game, yet each rep
resentative had so organized -his
argument that this do' ate proved
the best heard in many meetings.
The affirmative, Nereus English,
Bernie Cooper, and Walter Conner,
.v- re finallv favored witn the decis
of the judges.. However, the nega
tive, Thomas English, Alton War
wick and Addison Smith were con
stantly on the job and kept the out
come in doubt to the very last.
The second number on the pro
gram, a harmonica and violin duet,
by Myron Tatum and W. L. Rudd,
was enthusiastically received. Their
interpretations, of the Old Folks'
songs were met with applause from
every one present.
Winn ended the literary exercises
with several foreign, domestic, and
local current events.
President Harris appointed a com
mittee to render the sympathies of
the Society to H. L. Macon, whose
absence through sickness, has been
so keenly felt by the Webs.
The critic, LaMont Edgerton, gave
a brief but beneficial critique, after
which the society adjourned.
CLAYS DEBATE CAPITAL PUN
ISHMENT
President, Murray White called
the Henry Clay Literary Society
to order at the regular time for
meeting- Friday evening, January 13.
L. L. Williams was appointed critic
for the evening.
After the preliminary exercises
the speakers for the evening very
intelligently argued the following
question: Resolved that capital pun
ishment should be abolished in the
state of North Carolina.
The affirmative speakers, A. Lind
ley, M. Shore, and W. Thompson
based their argument on the points
that capital punishment is wrong
in principle, is unnecessary and that
life-imprisonment is better.
J. Cannon, F. Crutehfield, and V.
White argued that capital punish
ment is justifiable on the grounds
of economy and justice. The affirma
tive won the debate.
The record number on the program
was a declamation, by Edward Hil
der. This number was very humorous
and was thoroughly enjoyed.
L. L. Williams then gave a splen
did critic's report. He reviewed
the debate, as a whole, pointing out
the fallacies in argument produced
and showing the danger of such
reasoning in a debate.
The society was very pleased to
have as a visitor, C. C. Sem, a native
of Korea, who made a few remarks
to the society about his homeland
and also about the program of the
evening.
"CARRIER CURRENT'' NEWEST
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Through a new method of electri
cal communication it is possible to j
send a telephone message over a [
trolley wire which while supplying
power into the train acts as a con- |
ductor of another or second current
which is superimposed upon it at
a higher frequency.
At any convenient point along the
line this second or "carrier current" '
may be picked up and carried short
distances though the air where it ;
may be made to operate a telephone ]
instrument. The system may be 1
used for communication between
engineers of different trains on the
same road, between the locomotive
at the head of a long freight train
and the caboose at the rear, or be
tween the engineer and distant sub
stations or terminals.
A demonstration of the system
was given recently before a group
of prominent railway men, by the
General Electric Company.
ELECTROGRAPHS
M ore than twenty vessels ranging
in size from a small fire boat to big
Atlantic freighters and warships, are
now propelled by electricity in the
United States.
Spain has begun the electrification
of her railways. The first contract
for a stretch of forty miles was plac
ed with an American concern, the
International General Electric Com
pany. Extensive electrification of
the Spanish roads which run through
mountainous territory, is expected to
follow.
A lighting system has been devised
for highways which makes it possible;
for night automobile drivers to travel
with headlights dimmed, so brilliant
ly is the roadway lighted. Part of
the Lincoln highway will be lighted
by this 3ystem
The radio message sent by Presi
dent Harding at the opening of the
great central radio station on Long
Island, was picked up in over seven
teen foreign countries. The station
is operated hv the Radio Corporation
of America.
One of the largest circuit breakers
in the world has recently been built
by an American electrical concern.
It is rated at 165.000 volts. Accord
ing to Dr. C. P. Steinmetz, the energy
dissipated when a circuit breaker
of this size automatically opens on
overload, is equal to the energy
which would be consumed in a head
on collision between two 125 ton
locomotives meeting at a speed of 45
miles an hour.

PICKING COTTON BY ELECTRIC-
A devicee consisting of a farm
tractor equipped with an electric gen
erator, is being used successfully in
the Northern cotton belt to pick cot
ton with electricity's aid. Hollow
flexible tubes reach out in four di
rections from the tractor. On the
end of each is a set of revolving
brushes encased in a small metal
frame, with an opening about the
1 size of a man's double fists, and suf
ficiently large to take a boll of cot
ton. The brushes are driven by an
electric motor through a flexible
drive shaft and revolve inwardly", or
: toward each other. This creates a
comb-like movement which pulls the
cotton from the plant the moment it
comes in contact with the brushes.
It is then sucked up the hollow tube
1 and deposited in a receptacle carried
on the tractor. Tests have indicated
that the new electric cotton picker
i makes it possible for a person to
(gather from 400 to-700 pounds of
j cotton a day as compared with 70 to
150 by hand.
Down in the village of Ougney,
in Southern France, they have the
belief that when a man dies there
is no use inh is friends crying
r.bout it, and so they make merry.
