ingly contented to attend to his own
affaire at home. A good kind neigh
bor, a hard worker himself, ami HO
long os ho watt able had plenty and
to spare.
lie had a wonderful memory and
it was his delight to talk with his
friends of incideiils of IIIH younger
days; of bow he went with bin father
to Fayettcvillo in company with six
others with 4-horse teams and hauled
the first loads of dry goods ever sold
in the town of Graliam, ami of his
going with his father (who was a
witness) to attend the first session ol
court ever hold in Alamance county
It was held in Old Providence church
and they used the old log tents as

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.
His ancestors can be traced back
to Donald Mcl'herson of Scotland,
born in 1080, came to America in
1700, married Kuth Sliivesin 1908,
and died in 1755. Among the chil
dren left was a son, John, born in
1817 in Pennsylvania, married a
Mary Green and moved from that
State to Chatham county, N. C , in
1705, settled on Cane Creek near
Sutphin mill.
Among his children was Stephen,

Tbe l'"ln«l llebate

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

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

United States Government to es-
WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and Tapors do little,
if any good. \
To correct catarrh you should treat Its
cause by em idling your blood with tlie
oil-food in Scott's Kniulsjou which is a
medicinal food mill a building-topic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drups. Try it,
