FINAL WORD TO GERMANY.
President Wilson Speaks It—Next
Move Is Whether
. Diplomatic Relations
WiD Continue.
Yesterday Preaident Wilson de-
livered bit final warning to Ger
many and apoke it in an addresa
to Congress in joint session. The
next move is Germany's. If she
__ desires to continue diplomatic re
' lation* with the United States she
must cease her U-boat warfare, the
note says. It remained for Re
publican Leader Mann alone of the
opposition to openly attack the
President's position, but the leaders
think he could not do less than he
has done.
The President In part said :
"The lives of non-combatants,
passengers and crews have been
destroyed wholesale and in a man
ner .which the government of the
United States cannot but regard as
wanton and without tile slightest
color of Justification.
The roll of Americans who have
lost their lives upon ships thus de
stroyed has grown montn by month
until the ominous toll has mounted
info the hundreds.
'J he government' of the United
States has been very patient • *
It has • * * been willing to
wait until the facts were unmistak
able and were susceptible of only
one Interpretation. Xt now owes
it to a Just regard for its own
rights to say to tne Imperial gov
ernment that the time has come.
The use of submarines for the
destruction of an enemy's com
merce is * * utterly Incompati
ble with the principle* of humanity.
Unless the Imperial government
should now immediately declare
and effect an abandonment of its
present methods of submarine war
fare against passengers and freight
carrying vessels the government ol
the United States can have no
choice but to sever diplomatic re
lations with the German empire al
together.
The County's
Public Roads.
Alamance ha* joined with the
other counties of the State lor the
maintainance of that part of the
Central Highway running through
the county.
The County Commissioner* met
in special session Monday to hear
Mr. £. W. James, Chief of the Div

Graham Wins in
State High School Debate
Last Thursday morning there waa I
a big exodua of Qrehamites for
Chapel Hill to take part in and wit
neaa the State High Debate and the
Athletic conteata.
Graham waited patiently but anx
iously for the news Friday, when it
would be determined who would
oonUst in"*the final debate for the
Aycock Cup. The news came Fri
day afternoon about 5 o'clock and
then there waa a hurry get-ready to
go to Chapel Hill to hear Miss
Myrtle Cooper and Mr. Boyd Harden
in the con teat.
In Memorial Ilall to a packed
house and enthnaisaatic audience the
young debaters sp6ke and when they
had finished, there was little doubt
about the result. ■
History of these Debates.
Last Friday evening Graham's
Afßrmative Debating Team won
tho Aycpck Memorial Cup given
by the Literary Societies of the
Uuiversity at Chapel Hill.' On
the name day, Graham's Track
Team was a close second for the
Athletic Cup. No school in the
Btate has ever equaled this record
of Graham's school. Most people
do not realize what a great thing
this event is for Alamauce county,
the town of Graham and her
school. To the end that people
may know exactly how great the
achievement is, they must under
stand that there were more than
1,300 participant* in this debate,
and that by a process of elimina
tion the aontost was narrowed
down between Graham High
School and Wilson High School,
and, as stated, Graham won. In
the track meet held at Chapel
Hill many schools participati d,
and only the Alamanoe school,
Friendship, went by Graham.
These debates and annual track
meets were first held in 1913.
That year the question debated
was "Woman's Suffrage." Gra
ham's affirmative team, composed
of Miss Julia Cooper and Mr. Coy
Williams, and its negative team,
composed of Messrs. Marvin Mas
sey aud Chas. Jones, both won in
the preliminaries, but we were
eliminated before the final con
test, but one of the most promin
ent Professors at Chapel Hill told
tho writer a short time since that
those who heard Miss Julia Cooper
on this occasion were still talking
of her effort. In 1914 thequestion
was the "Initiative and Referen
dum," and our affirmative team,
composed of Miss Flonie Cooper
and Mr. Michael Holt Kernodle,
aud our negative team, composed
of Miiwes Myrtle Cooper and Myrtle
dates, both won in the prelimi
naries. and our affirmative team
went into the finals, and our
negative team was Becond to Win
ston's negative team, which wßnt
into the finals. In the finals that
yoar we lost to Winston-Salem,
lu 1015 the question was "Ship
Subsidies", and our affirmative
team, composed of Miss Myrtle
Gates and Mr. Chas. Jones, and
our negative team, composed of
Miss Beatrice Foushoe aud Mr.
Boyd Harden, did great credit to
thomselves and the school, but we
lost the decision and did not get
to Chapel Hill. In 1916 the ques
tion debated was "The Enlarge
ment of the Navy." Our affirma
tive team, composed of Miss Mjytle
Cooper and Mr. Boyd Barden, and
our negative team, composed of
Miss Zelina Ilornbuckle and Mr.
Tlioa. Cooper, both won In the
preliminaries, and our affirmative
toarn went to the finals and de
feated the Wllaon team and the
Cup hi in Graham. You mu t
understand that before you can
even get to Chapel Hill that both
of your teams must win, and in
this contest it must be understood
that both our affirmative and neg
ative team had to win In the pre
liminaries or neither could have
gone to Chapel Hill?
In looking over this history of
Graham's participation in these
debates, there will be noticed the
names of four. Coopers, and they
are all of one family—Thos. Cooper
being a brother of the three Misses
Cooper. Surely If there is any
name that should be engraved
upon the Aycock Oup it should
be that of Cooper. Today the two
best known students in public
schools in North Carolina Miss
Myrtle Cooper and Mr. Boyd
Uanlen, and too much oannot be
■aid in praise of these young peo
ple, but when we apeak of them
we should oerUlnly always think
of the negative team, Miss Zelma
Ilornbuckle and Mr. Thoa. Cooper,
who, by winning from Chapol
Hill High School at Chapel Hill,
enabled our victorious affirmative
team to have the great oppor
tunity of winning. The writer
knows of the long hours of labor
and practioe that these young peo
ple gave, and he know*, too, that
much credit should be given our
Superintendent, Mr. Kankin, and
our High School teacher, Miss
Thomas, for this victory. Wd, of
the town, congratulate them all.
The writer is informed that only
sight schools in the State have
equalled our record of going to
Chapel Hill by winning on both the
affirmative and negative three times
oat of four, and no school has won
all four time*. Only one other school 1
has equalled Graham'» record of be
ing twice in the finals and winning
the Cup once, and that school is
Wilson High School. While Wil
son equals our record in the debat
ing field, it did not even approach
our record in the track meet, where,
•a above stated, we stood second.
At Chapel Hill, when we bad won
the debate, a lady asked an enthusi
astic citizen of Graham il our stu
dents did nothing but debate? He
told her "Yes, we run aome." Gra
ham ahonld be prowl of her town,
proud of her school, and proud of

and they should be grateful to the
Superintendent and teachers.*
Honors to Winners
Saturday evening at 6 o'clock the
visitor* returned from Chapel Bill.
They were met at the station by a
large crowd and procession of about
'26 automobiles headed by the Oneida
Band.
The debaters, Miss Myrtle Cooper
and Mr. Boyd Harden, were driven
uptown in a machine decorated in
their honor. In the car with them
were Qraham's other debaters, Miss
Zelma Hornbuckle Mr. Thomas
Cooper, and the two teachers who
coached tKfc teams, Miss Thomas and
Mr. Rankin. The car carried three
big banners. On each side was a
large one with, these words: "Here
are the ones who put thirteen hun
dred to flight." On the back of the
car was written, "Cooper-Harden.
Victors."
The parade stopped at the oourt
house where a large crowd had
gathered. Mr. J. Dolph Long made
a timely talk in well chosen words.
Then Mr. Lynn Williamson, in be
half of Mr. L. Banks Holt, owner of
the Ondida Mills, presented Miss
Myrtle Cooper a beautiful gold wrist
watch. Mr. Holt bas always taken a
deep in'erest in the Oraham Graded
School and wished to show his ap
preciation of the honor that had been
brought to tho town. Then Mr. J.
Dolph Long, representing the citi
zens of the town, presented a gold
watch to Mr. Boyd Harden. He
stated that this was a token of the
pride the entire town felt in the de
baters.- Nothing for several years
has aroused more enthusiasm than
the splendid record made by these
two young debaters.
The Gleaneh did not have space
to say all it wanted to say this week.
It has more material for next week,
composed of what others have had
to say.
Then, too, there was the athletic
contests in which Alamance won first
plsce, and Qrabatn was second to
the best—Friendship.
Tol4 That There Wai No Care for Him.
"After suffering for over 20 yrs.
with indigestion and having some
of the best doctors here fell me
there was no cure for me, I think
It only right that I ahould tell you
for the sake of other sufferers as
well as your own satisfaction that

me within two months, although 1
am a man of 84 years,'- writes Jul.

The Republicans have no hope
of defeating Mr. Wilson this fall;
they only hope to elect the House
of Representatives, but they will
got fooled in that.

"I think Chamberlain's Liniment
Is lust splendid for rheumatism,'
writes Mrs. Dunburgh, Kldrldge, N.
Y. "It haa been uaed by myself
and members of my family time

and has always given the best of

pain which Chamberlain s Liniment

the cost. Obtainable everywhere.
