This meeting gave to us auotuer new mem
ber, brmgiiig with her the glovviug prom
ise ol' a laitiiful worker.
The Prog'ram consisted of Heading’s,
Original Compositions, Humorous Selec
tions and Aiusic, all of which showed tnat
the guls had returned with new zeal and
a determination to accomplish greater
things in their literary work.
jiiss Annie Laurie Wicker deserves
much credit for giving to us a recitation,
“A Isegro Sermon,” Uer expressions
were fine, really seemed as if we were
in the presence of a colored preacher.
Miss Myrtle Lawrence also displayed
much work and thought, in reading to
us a prophecy of the Junior English class,
which led our thoughts away to the pleas
ant future, and last but not least came
a beautiful and well rendered paper given
by Miss Pearl Fogleman, on “How I
spent my summer vacation.”

LOOK FOR MERIT
Instead of mere cheapness when you pur
chase shoes. The value of your purchase
does not depend upon what yon pay but
upon what you get for your money.
Tliat’s why it is genuine economy to buy
your shoes here. It only needs a single
trial to convince you of that.

Following these preliminaries was the
debate. 'Phe query resolved itself thus:
That the United States Government
should own and control the railroads of
our country. This was indeed an inter
esting question for discussion.
The alflrmative, in an eloquent man
ner, maintained that if the railroads of
our land were owned and controlled by
the United States government, all the
surplus money, as we might call it,
would then go to the treasury of the
United States instead of the individual’s
pocket as it does today. There, as we all
know, when it is used it does not benefit
one only, but it benefits everybody alike.

sociation will be a benefit to him, and
would have better schedules. For instance,
if a wreck would occur on the road be
tween here and Raleigh, another train
would be sent at once to carry the mail
and those passengers to their proper des
tination. By so doing better time would
be made than is made under the present
s.VT!tel&, Manv other minor points were
produced which I will not mention here.
The negative came forth with the argu
ment that if the railroads were owned
and controlled by the (lovernment, taxes
would be much higher than they are at
present). This they maintained would
be destructive to our public school sys
tem throughout the country. They would
have us believe that the term would be
shortened. Furthermore they argued that
under present conditions there is much
competition between railroad companies,
and that owing to this fact, we have bet
ter roads under the present system than
we otherwise would have.
The affirmative came out victorious.
The best speaker on the affirmative was
Mr. W. J. Gotten. Best on the negative,
was Mr. C. W. Rountree; oratorioally,
Mr. Carl B. Riddle.
Corresponding Secretary.
CLIO.
The meeting of the Clio Society last
Friday evening was very interesting as
usual. The programme consisted of
many items of importance. They brought
to light many interesting things that need
our consideration.
Among those items which deserve
s^^ecial mention were the following: a
declamation, by Mr. Thomas; a humor
ous selection , by Mr. Heatwole; an essay,
by Mr. Miller. Nearly all of these men
are new men, but they show their interest
in society work.
ELON vs GUILFORD
BASE BALL.
In a game that was anything but pleas
ing to the backers of the team, the out
fit of diamond rushers representing this
institution were bested by Guilford Col
lege at base ball on the latter’s grounds
Saturday, September 28, 1912. Ragged
fielding of the most ragged sort in the
sixth netted the Quakers six runs and they
together with one in each the first and
third tell the story that no one cares to re
peat.
Malone for Elon pitched gilt edge ball
until it was evident to him and all witness
ing that there was not a semblance of sup
port in the infield except for Newman, at
third, and flashes of class by Ingle at first.
Newman despite the association, put up
a game worthy of any third sacker in the
State, but one swallow’ does not make a
summer neither can one Newman make a
ball team.
Forget it, please!

ONE WAY.
“The Greeks,” remarks a current write#,
“pictured Opportunity as a half-bald wo
man with all her hair on her forehead—
you had to grab her from the front; once
she had passed, there was nothing to
clutch at. Your opportunities have a bald
side too.”
Yes, you bet they have, and one must
look alive or life will be spent looking re
gretfully after vanishing dreams that
might have been cheerful realities. We
confess we had silent hysterics over the
conceited youth who said the subject of
religion had been dismissed from his mind.
He had tackled the problem and “after sev
en hours’ intense thought,” he had accepted
the views of the school of German philoso
phers. We thought this was a case where
he would doubtless have opportunity to
think it over again, but in the main his
system of concentrated thought and quick
decision was not to be condemned.
It is a good rule to seize the best of
what the present offers and let the future
work out its own problems. If we were
less given to thinking about the future
and more given to getting the utmost out
of today, it would be better. The awful
shadow of what may happen is an opiate
that kills more schemes than it safeguards.
Some people drift through life—they call
it by the deceiving name of Christian ac
ceptance of their lot, when the real name
for their conduct is inertia. They only
appreciate that opportunities were Heav-
