At this same session of court a negro was being tried for some offense, ami not being able to complete his trial the day it commenced lie was taken all the way to llillsboro that night to lie kept in jail and brought back next morning. He bad a number of such inci dents stored away and it was his de light to relate them.

High School Debating Union. 9- _ * , 4 J " - /'* ' ~ ■*- " ALL ABOUT CONTEST AT CHAPEL HILL APRIL 14th. Our readers have read a greal deal about the contest for the Aycock. Memorial Cup which was won by Graham High School debaters and brought to Alamance on 14th ult, but they have not read all. They will be pleased to see what the. Alumni Review, published by the University, which came out this week his to say. It follows : Tho fourth annual final contest of the High School Debating Union was held at tbe University on Thursday and Friday, April 13th and 14th. Miss Myrtle Cooper and Boyd Harden, repre senting the Graham high school, were victorious over all others and carried home with them the debat ing trophv, the Aycock Memorial Cup. They won the decision iu tho final debat" iu Memorial Hall, upholding the affirmative of the query: Resolved That the United States should adopt the policy of greatly enlarging its Navy. Their opponents in the final debate were Wade Gardner and David Isoar, of the Wilson High School, defending the negative. Two hundred and seventy-two debaters—Bl of them girls—rep resenting 08 high schools, came from all parts of the State to par ticipate in the final contest for the Aycock Memorial Cup. Debaters were present from Eastern points, such as Poplar Branch, Currituck County,,aiid Lake Landing, Hyde County. From the West debaters came from Waynesville, Biltmore, Jefferson, Glado Valley, and other extreme points. Together with the iuter-scholastic track meet and tennis tournament, the con test of the Debating Union made up High School Week in the University's calendar. For the week fully 500 visitors came to Chapgl Hill. They were heartily received and their slay was made 1 enjoyable. They carried back with them to the high schools and to tho various compiunities a new knowledge of the co-operative work of the State's greatest public school. The Preliminaries The 272 debaters who partici pated in the final contest had all been successful iu their triangular debates on March 31st, in which series 1300 debaters, representing 125 high schools in 94 counties of the State, participated. The teams on the affirmative wore divided by lot into six sec tions for the first preliminary, Thursday night, April 13th, and likewise the teams on the negative wero divided into six sections. From each of those sections two teams were chosen for a second preliminary, Friday morning, April 14th. The schools which had teams making the second pre liminary on the affirmative were: Graham, Laurinburg, East Dur ham, Faison, Rocky Mount, Statesville, Mooresville, Raleigh, Wilson, Gastonia, Pinnaclo, and Startown. The schools having teams in the second preliminary on the negative were: Wilson, Stem, Raleigh, Pleasant Garden,. Lowell, Wendell, Clarkton, Glade Valley, Rocky Mount,"Statesville, Cary, and Gastonia. The schools having teams in the second pre liminary both affirmative and ucgative were:\Vilson, Raleigh, Rocky Mount, Statesville, and Gastonia. Tbe l'"ln«l llebate Memorial Ilall was filled to its entire capacity on tho occasion of the final debate Friday night, April 14th. It has been estimated that fully 2,("00 persona hoard the final debate, the audieuce consist ing of debaters, athletes, teachers, principals, and superintendents, citizens of Chapel 11111, members of the faculty, and a large number of people who had come in auto mobiles from various cities in the State. President E. K. Graham presid ed over the debate. Mr. \V. J llrogden, of Durham, a member of the Class of 1898 aud a member of the first victor ous inter-collegiate debating team to represent Caro lina, presented the Aycock Cup to to the winning team in behalf ot all the University's inter-collegiate debaters. Dean M. C. 8. Noble r of the School of Education, pre sented the cups and medals to winners in the inter-scholastic track meet. The stage of Memo rial Hall had been appropriately decorated for the occasion. The young debaters were frequently given prolouged applause. President Graham commented ou the growih of the Debating Union and declared this to be North Carolina's greatest contest and North Carolina's greatest de veloper of public opinion. Tb« Hpnktn • The first speaker on the affirm ative for the Graham high school was Miss Myrtle Cooper. She advocated not prepareduess for, but preparedness against war. Her points were that the position of the United States among the powers makes a greatly enlarged navy imperative; that we cannot tell what part we may have to take in tho European war; and that the Monroe Doctrino can only be upheld by our power to control the seas in the Western Hemis ; phere. Miss Cooper spoke with | distinctness and effectiveness. I She was given applause. The first speaker on the nega ' tive representing the Wilson high school was Wade Gardner, small of stature and but effec tive in argument. His points were that we already have a navy surpassed only by England's; that we have no good reason to fear any other nation; that the pro posed policy would destroy our world leadership for righteousness and bring us upon war itself; that other method/) are within our grasp by which we may effectively promote peace with honor. Boyd Harden was the second speaker for the affirmative. lie advocated a greatly enlarged navy, because this would protect our country from all danger of attack and would make unnecessary a large standing army. A compari son of our navy with those of other world powers, he declared, shows how incapable it is of pro tecting our nation. He advocated the adoption of the policy of greatly enlarging the navy as be ing the only expedient measure that could be taken to uphold the honor of the nation and protect the tights and liberties of the people. David ißear was the second speaker for the negative, tie argued that • hern was practically no chance that the United' States would go to war with any nation ; that in rase we should ever go to war, the Panama Canat would double the efliciency of our navy; and that to adopt the policy of a greatly enlarged navy would not be a worthy role for our nation of high ideals to assume, protected »s it is by over 8.000 miles of ocean, the best coast defenses in the world, and by a navy second only to that of Great Britain. . * * Thd rejoinders on both sides were spirited and forceful. The rejoin ders, as well as the main speeches, showed that the debaters had a mastery of the subject and were speakers of composure. The decision of the judges, Messrs. H. H. Williams, C. L. Raper, H. W. Chase, Q. M. McKie, and L. P. Mc- Gehee, stood four to one in favor of the affirmative. In a fitting speech, Mr. W. J. Brogden presented the Aycock Cup to the winning team, lie spoke of the benefits coming from participa tion in the contests of the Debating Union and paid a tribute to the late Charles B. Aycock, in whose honor the trophy cup is named. At this time Dean Noble in happy fashion presented the cups and medals to winners in the inter-scholastic track meet. Immediately after the debate a reception was tendered all visitors in the Library. This was the clos ing exercise in the program of enter tainment. Community Co-operation. In carrying through to a success ful conclusiou the final contest, praise should be given for the spirit of co o|>eration found everywhere. Mem bers of the faculty acted as judges in the preliminaries and in the final debate. Cliapel Hill homes enter tained the more than one hundred girls and ladies who came for the debate. Students acted as officers in the preliminaries and entertained the boys and men in the dormitories. They co-operated heartily in giving the visitors a good time. The tea'ih er-i and a number of the students of the Chapel Ilill Graded School gave valuable help, in serving at the re ception and in decorating the stage of Memorial Hall. The Swain Hall management contributed in alto gether satisfactory fashion the bill of fare at tho reception. Tho baseball management pro vided complimentary tickets for the Carolina-Wofford game. The Y. M. C. A. ( gave its building and tho time and efforts of Its offi cers to the Debating Union. Kurrrti of the Debating HIIIUII. Since its organisation in 1913, the High School Debating Union has met with a remarkable success aud growth. It has grown aud has carried with it beneficial re sults for the individual debater, his school, his community, and the University. In 1913, 300 debaters, repre senting 90 schools in 45 counties took part in the contest. In 1914, 000 debaters participated repre senting 160 schools in 04 counties. In 1915, 1,000 debaters partici pated representing 250 schools in 91 counties. This year, 1,300 de baters representing 325 schools in 94 couuties took part in the con tost. The Debating Union is a part of the University's extension plan. It will be pushed with still furtiter vigor next year and it is thonght that the enrollment then will reach 4(>o Schools. The list of schools taking part iu the final contest was: Bessemer City, Biltmore, Bushy Fork, Cary, Chad bourn, Cool Spring, Columbus, Clarktou, Dixie, East Bend, East Durham, East Spencer, Elm City, Edenton, Fairmont, Faison, Fallston, Gates ville, Gibson, Gilliam's Academy, Glade Valley, Glen Alpine, God win, Graham, Gastonia, High Point, Jefferson, Lake Landing, Lillington, Lowell, Lu oaina, Manndale, Milton, Moores vitle, Morehead City, Morganton, Mount Airy, Norlina, Norwood, Orruni, Pleasant Garden, Ply mouth, Poplar Branch, Pinnacle, Haleigh, Rowland, Hobersonville, Rocky Mount-, Roper, Salemburg, Seven Springs, Smitbfleld, Spring llill, Startown, Swan nation, Tabernacle, Teach eys, Trenton, Vanceboro, Wash ington, Waynesville, Warrentou, Wendell, West Hickory, Wilson, Wilson's Mills, Winton. FARMERS INVITED To Visit Virginia-Carolina Cattle Co '• Farms. Spray, N.C., May 5.1916. —The Virginia-Carolina Cattle Com pany, whose general headquarters are at Spray, N. C., have just is sued an invitation to the farmers of the South, large aqd-small, and to the young men and the boys on the farmSj, to visit their extensive stock and agricultural farms, any time during the month of May. The invitation was suggested by the receipt of a letter from two members of the North Carolina Board of Agriculture, Messrs. R. W. Scott and P. P. Latham, who wrote: "We feel, as citizens of the State, after inspecting your grass lands and cattle and the r eneral layout of your plans, that you should extend an invitation to every young man in the State, and every farmer and would-be cattle r liser and grass grower, to allow them the privilege of seeing what we have seen and getting a prac tical education." Those who would undertake a sound and well calculated plan, to derive an wholesome sustenance from the land, are cordially in vited to visit: the Imperial Place, the Woodstock Place, the Fin dowrie Place, Arbutus Mountain, the Edgewood Place, the Stocks Place, the Thacker Place, the Mc- Iver Place, the Roulhac Place, Aiken Mountain, Joseph's Crib, and the Downs of Rockingham. These places adjoin, and they contain from live hundred to one thousand acres each. The Com pany, in a very modest vvtCy, are extending the benefit of their ex perience and the results of what they regard as the highly success ful development of Hereford and Guernsey cattle, sheep raising and the-breeding of young mules, on economical and intelligent evp lution of the hog industry, that must inevitably redound to the financial benefit of the farmers of the South. ~ They are producing pork on grass and legumes with profit and satisfaction. In this connection they say: "It requires ten years for a young man to become a grass ologist, and he gets his education from ocular demonstration. This we think we can give, in tho highest degrees, in blue grass in the South, orchard 'grass, herd grass, timothy and other grasses, and especially crimson clover and rape for winter hog food; and soja beans which are little understood and little appreciated in their various capacities by the South ern farmer." Nor does the Virgiua-Carolina Cattle Company desire to confine their efforts to agricultural demon stration work to their owp -hold ings or their own townsbi&x They make the statement that inasmuch as there has been considerable agitation about the Farm Life school in Rockingham county, they declare that this invitation is given without any desire to in fluence or accelerate public or political sentiment whatever. And that they will be glad to help any other township, Ruflln or New Bethel, tQ establish such a school. New Bethel possesses land of value beyond the dreams of any ■nan; they assert: "We would cheerfully con tribute 1100.00 if any five or ten farmers in the township will con tribute SIO.OO each in making some experiments in acre lots in that township, giving the owner of the land the benefit of Every thing accomplished, only requir ing him to adhere to instructions given him as to how to plant and what to cultivate." * "Then in addition to this we will give SIO.OO in cash to any member of the Boy's Corn Club who will write the best article on why the Corn Club Boys and the farmers should use pedigreed com seed in raising corn. The Secretary of Agriculture at Wash ington will be requested to make the award Tuey are also willing to.aid in the establishing of a permanent County Chautauqua at Went worth, the county seat, and erect such buildings there as will ac commodate the people of the county. The attitude of this Company has a pleasing pbase to it. Their determination to remain inde pendent was shown when, as they assert, they recently declined Bixty thousand dollars tendered thein as a donation, that may or may not have had strings to it, the offer was declined. Then as if by way of adding emphasis to the work heing done as well as their willingness to as sist any section of the county or adjoining counties, the further additional information and efforts in that direction are given: "The Agricultural Society of America has completed a build ing here of sixteen rooms with a main room 30 feet by 90 feet for the laboratory and demonstration work. We take occasion to men tion theoe facts that in case suffi cient interest is manifested by the farmers in the adjoining counties we think we will eventually suc ceed in our plans to induce the United States Government to es- WHAT CATARRH IS It has been said that every third person has catarrh in some form.
