WATERS, Prop Girl Debaters From Mount Olive Are Defeated By Boy Team in Hot Contest. Chapel Hill.—Before an audlenc* that taxed the capacity of Memorial Hall, Waynesville high school repres ented by Vinson Smathers and Roy Francis, defeated the brilliant debat ers from Mount Olive high scliool. Misses Gladys Andrews and Emma Lindsay. The debate came as the cul mination of one of the most interesting and closely contested events in the history and high school debating ia the state. The judges were Profes Bors H. H. Williams. L. P. McGhee, Edwin Greenliw, H. M. Wagstaff and W. S. Barnard. The Aycock trophy cup was presented the winners by Mr R. O. Everett of Durham. The debaters, led by President Gra ham, Mr. E. R. Rankin and Mr. R. O Everett, marched to the stage amid | a volume of cheers. The youthful do- j haters showed a surprising mastery of j the .subject matter and in the rebuttals ! especially manifested a mastery of the j technique of formal argument. This | is the second time tliat a team of | boys has debated with a team of girls and the first time the boys have won Both schools had the honor of havinp both teams come through the prelimi naries. only one other school. Pleasant Garden, attaining this honor. Introducing the speakers of the evening. President Graham declared the high school debate to be the hap piest occasion that the University j knows. I Vinson Smathers was the first af- j flrmative speaker for Waynesville high , school. After referring to the chang- i ing social and political conditions, he ^ laid down his three proposition; that i the present system of railroad owner-1 ship is wasteful in management; that it is a source of corrupting political Influence; that the interstate com-! merce cannot correct these evils. He believed government ownership the only solution. ! The first speaker on the negative for ' Mount Olive was Miss Gladys An drews. She outlined her aruBument opposing government ownership, de claring that the whole scheme is un- j democtratic and un-American; that { government ownership is unjust from \ a political standpoint; that it is not the proper function of the govern- | ment; that private ownership is in [ accord with American principles, and j that government ownership would ne j cessarily result in political corrup- | tion. Miss Andrews spoke In a con-1 vincing manner and showed a thor- j ough mastery of the whole question. | Roy Francis completed the affirma-1 tive argument. He insisted that gov- ! ernment ownership and operation is j practicable; he pointed out its great success where it had been tried, and | made clear how It would be operated ' for the interest of all the people. He attributed Germany's efficiency to its government-owned railways. The last speaker for Mount Olive on the negative was Miss Emma Lind sey. After reviewing the points made | by her colleague. Miss Andrews, she showed that government ownership was a most unwise policy from a bus iness standpoint. The experience that foreign nations have had with it does not warrant its adoption here, she de clared. The high schools and the respective debaters representing them in preced ing years are as follows: 1913—Pleasant Garden High School; Grady Bowman and S. C. Hodgin. 1914—Winston-Salem High School; Charles Roddick and Clifton Eaton. 1915—Wilson High School; Laila Rookh Fleming and Ethel Gardner. 1916—Graham High School; Myrtle Cooper and Boyd Harden.

LOSS BY FOREST FIRES IN NORTH CAROLINA What shall North Carolina do about the great loss by forest fires? This is a real live question and one on whose answer mucli depends. During the five year period from 1909 to 1913 the average number of flres reported per year in North Carolina was 633. These fires burned each year about 415,000 acres at an average loss of $650,000 and two lives. The cost each year to private indi viduals of fighting these fires was about $20,000. The losses and costs should be stopped if posible or at least greatly reduced. This can be done by the exercise of ordinary care es pecially at this season of the year when flres are so likely to get out and spread. The Insurance Commisioner ap peals to all citizens not to start out side fires on windy days or leave them to be fanned into flames or spread by winds rising during the night Fire is used too promiscuously and carelessly for burning new lands be ing opened as well as other landa covered with vegetation. Hunters, teamsters and smokers must exercise more care with their flres and matches. All cases of careless as well as in- tentioiutl starting of fires that dam age lands and forests should be re ported to the Insurance Commissioner so that they may be Investigated and, where the evidence justifies it, vigor ous prosecutions Instituted. The loss from these causes since 1913 has been even greater each year. iLUJi>jLLmujiL.u Sfnjatitwtie BREVARD, - ^ NORTH CAROLINA Departments—College Preparatory, Normal, Music, Business, Do mestic Art, Household Economics, A{»ricul*ure. _ ^ ’ All departments are directed by teachers with special training and large experience.

Name Street Address City State WHERE SAFETY-FIRST WOULD HAVE SAVED HUMAN LIFE r III# HtfU C. Williams, a Wake county farmer died in Rex Hospital, Raleigh, Sunday, April 1, from burns sustained In the explosion of an oil stove. The 21-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Bryan, Jr., of Wilmington, died March 27, as a result of burns from falling in a tub of boiling water which had been placed on a porch for scouring purposes. A negro, named Renfrew, near Bai ley, bled to death, March 28, as a result of being struck by an axe which slipped from the hand of a fellow chopper severing an artery. Know ledge of first aid work on the part of the fellow laborer would have saved the man’s life. George Williams, an aged blind ne gro, was burned to death In the Are which destroyed a three room cottage about five miles from Raleigh, March 28. The negro had been left alone in the house and when Are \vas di.^- covcred by neighbors it was not known he was there. No blind person should be left alone in a house. A fire at Wilson on Thursday, March 29, resulted in the loss of two lives, a negro woman and her child. News paper accounts of the Incident stated that the woman was subjected to f?ts and It was supposed that she fell in the Are. Screens for the prevention of such accidents can be purchased as cheaply as fifty cents. Well-Painted Buildings Are Easier to Rent and Sell tor in closing every sale or rental deal The well painted building seldom causes its owners a loss through vacancy. Well painted houses boost real estate values in any neigborhood. So “painting for looks” pays the building owner in many ways. But the chief function of paint is to prevent wear. That is why it pays to use only paint of known quality, such as Patton’s Sun-Proof Pciint *nie best test for paints is—time. For more than a generation the Patton Paint products have been favorably known and widely tested. The best Sun-Proof asset is the army of paint buyers who will use nothi^ else.
