delivered to him previously by Mr.
Deluka, who found the letter in a
suit of clothes sent him by the piess-
ing- club. The testimony, drawn from
the witnesses by the lawyers, was
that both Mr. Deluka and Mr. Jones
had sent a suit of clothes to the
club to ibe pressed: that the proprie
tor had become confused because of
the similarity of the suits. Mr. Jones’
letter had fallen into the hands of
Mr. Deluka. The letter was from
Miss Hickey to Mr. Harold Jones.
It expressed the intention of Miss
Hickey to break the engagement with
Mr. Deluka and sue him for $10,00.
for breach of promise and then marry
Mr. Jones and live on the money!
Witness: Mr. Strickland, finger
print expert, was called in. by the
solicitor, and after, examining the
first letter, said that it bore only
the finger prints of a man. The
prosecution declared the second let
ter to • be a forgery.
To give the arguments of the law
yers, both pro and con, would make
this story too long. The jury, after
first disagreeing, finally brought in
a verdict of “Guilty” against the
defendant, Mr. Deluka. The defense
made appeal to the Supreme Court
of North Carolina; the appeal was
granted.
The presiding judge was Honorable
Charlton H. Sullivan. The prosecut
ing attorneys were Colonels C. E.
Parker and Clarence Patrick; the
defense attorneys, Colonels O. J.
Mui-pky and Boyd Brown.
F. L. SNYDER
VISITS HILL
Of interest to both faculty and
students was the visit during the
past week of Frank Snyder, a for
mer student of Mars Hill, who for
some time has been doing evangelis
tic work in the North and in South
Carolina.
Mr. Snyder was a .student of Mars
Hill from 1916 until 1922, during
which time he was active botli in
literary work and in the religious
activities of the school. Having grad
uated from Moody Bible Institute
in 1924 and attended the seminary
at Mercer University the following
year, Mr. Snyder then went to Ashe-
vdlle where he resumed the pastorate
of Riverside Baptist church. During
this time he attended Carson New
man College and in 1927 received
his Bachelor of Art.s degree from
that institution.
Mr. Snyder’s brief visit was a
genuine pleasure to all those at the
Hill.
B. Y. P. U. Members
Speak at the Church
At the evening service February
5th, the following program was
given:
How I Came to Be a Christian—
Clyde Stinson. j
What Christ Has Meant to Me— .
Ellen Royal Jones. |
The Church—What It Has Meant
to Me—Marvin Rouse.
My Life and the Whole World—
Alice McKittrick.
in these brief yet interesting and
helpful discussions, the earnestness
and sincerity of the young people
plainly manifested that they must
be about Our Father’s Business.
Some of the paramount things ex
pressed in these spirit-filled mes
sages were that Christian parents;
and teachers are great factors toward
I absolute surrender; and if Christ is ,
made the supreme ruler cf a life,
that life is one that counts for some- !
thing.

5. High school principals oi
coaches shall submit a list of their
players by February 5, stating theii
names, ages, year in school, numbe ■
of years on the team, and the team’s
record up to that time.
6. A full-sized silver basket ball
wiU be awarded the winning team.
The ball remains for the period of
one year in the possession of the
winning team, or until some team
wims it three times in five years,
W!hen it becomes the permanent pos
session of that .school.
Judging from the results of the
past tournaments, it is safe to
promise basket ball fandom man.v
grades of basket ball. Fans may ex
pect to see sorry, sorrier, and sorriest
basket ball; and on the other hanc
they will be treated to good, better,
best basket ball. The quality of bas
ket ball becomes better as the pro
cess of elimination goes forwar.
Some fans have claimed to be able
to pick the winning team the first
day, while others have declared that
the best team can not be picked a
all. It will be difficult to predict
the winner this year, for there are
several fast-stepping quintets out fo;
the cup. Some critics, after having
examined the records of several
teams, declare that the six outstand
ing teams are Boiling Springs, Lei
cester, Waynesville, Forest City,
Sylva High and Sylva Collegiate In
stitute.
In 1926 Sylva High School carried
the cup home with them after an
unhalted march of victories. In 1927
Leicester defeated Farm School by
one point margin to annex the cup.
The tournaments of the past have
been real feasts to sport lovers, and
the coming tournament bids fair to
be the best that has yet been held.
In behalf of the Mars Hill facul
ty and student body, the writer
wishes to extend a hearty welcome
to all the members of the visiting
teams as well as to others visitors
who may be with us. We are at your
service.
The Inner Circle, an organized
band of girls who have volunteei;ea
for home and foreign work, is en
deavoring to train its members foi-
work in the future.
For some time there has been a
plan on foot for the purpose of learn
ing some of the needs and conditions
on our missionary fields. To do this,
the girls were asked to make r,
ports on their life work. The.se re
ports were very helpful.
The first was on the foreign work.
Louise Beam, who has volunteere:
for service in Africa, the Dark Con
tinent, gave a message directly from
her heart. She made the statement
that she expects hardships, but that
God had called her, and she had
surrendered to His will. This sub
ject is a near and dear one to her.
The next report of vital in
terest to every Christian. Fannie
Gupton said that the B. Y. P. U
was the one church activity th
means most to her. She realizes the
need of this training service in the
church and wants to give her 1;
to the work.
Just now, the book, “The Will c:
God and a Man’s Life Work,” is
being studied. “God has a plan fo:
the Development of the World v.^'h;
I etxends to all departments of Life
I and to all spheres of Human Activ
I ity. Yet God has decreed that thi.-^
plan shall not advance without ti-
voluntary and freely given co opera
tion of mankind. We are God’s fe>
low-workers. God has a particular
part for every man to perform i
this plan, and man may find ou'
what his particular part is, and it
is the true pui’pose of his existence
to discover and do it.” These are
some of the truths contained in this
wonderful little book written by Hen
ry B. Wright. Each girl by study
ing this book wants to find God’s
will for her life so that she may
prepare for the work.
Any girl who is interested in mis
sion work under the direction of the
State Mission Board Is cordially in
vited to come to the meetings of the
Inner Circle in Miss Biggers’ studio
every Friday night immediately after
