The Grace Literary society at Grace college last eveuing debate! tbis qucr tion: "Resolved, Tbat after 1898 all voters who cannot write and read tbe constitution of tbe state be denied tbe privilege of voting." K. V. Wolf opened for the affirmative in bis usual clear and forcible style, and was supported by W. L. Baird, who ex plained tbe many advantages of South Carolina s new constitution. Prof. H. L. King and W. H. Masters argued the negative side splendidly, by showing tbe Inalienable rights guaran teed every citizen bv tbe constitution of tbe United States. Tbe negative won the question by a close call. The dispensary question tbat is now being agitated all over tbe state will be bandied next Friday evening by Messrs. ohn Kimberly and J. M. Cbunn for the affirmative and Messrs. Y. B. Haynes and others for the negative. Tbe Grace Literary society stands for progress and education, and tbe entbus iastic interest taken in its welfare by ttc people of that community speaks well for the intellectual growth of tbis thriv ing suburb of Asheville.

Dusenbtirv of the Presbyterian church said hecould think of nothing greater than the word "gratitude," gratitude to God and gratitude to Mr. Vaaderbilt who has shown his desiie to assist by lending a helping hand. He said tbe colored peop'e were peculiarly blcts il in having tne finest building in the State, an advantage over millions of peo pie of the Urited States. "The Institute is an opportunity and a great one, but tbe great thing needed is self-help on the part of the people." Key. ohn o. Morrow, of the Presbyte rian church, is always willing to give as sistance at the Institute In thecouree of bis remarks be referred with much feeling to Rev. W. I. Erdman. He spoke specially of the importance of yourg men giving their support to tbe Institute, lie also Doped tne time would come when we cruld say tbis wus indeed a Christian institution. Mr. II T Collins was present and verv readily responded to a call to give some remarks. Mr. Collins expressed bis grat itude tbat be is an honorary . member of the Institute. Rev. 11 S.

There be those, however, who ussert, with a knowiug winkac coiuoanying tbe assertion, that "Ilesb" will not ride into tbe postmastership on fliwerybedsofeuse, but, ontbe contrary, will oncounter decidedly rough sledding. In proof of this statement they say thnt Justice W. H. IVaver and Capt. Good M. Roberts, aspirants for the offi.e, arc by no means ready to throw up the sponge. Ytsterduv and today a petition bas been actively circulated In behalf of tbclormcr, and last night tberc was some political goings on in n certain up town dark room, tbat, bad some people been aware of, thev would doubtless have suffered from a severe uttack of insomnia. These goings on occurred in tbe small boun of the morning when all animal life, with tbe exception ol Tuk Citizen aud the tauter, were iu close relation! to old Morpheus. As The Citizkn stood in tbe durk ullev in the vicinity of tbat still darker room, a tew incoherent and scurccly audible words were waited out upon tbe night uir. Tbcre see me I to be about a eleven voices and some of the words sounded tuspiciously like "liar- kins? nil! Dcaver? G. A. R.!! post- office ! All 1 1 tbete things cause people to talk.
