The firetuonualdebateofThe High School Debating Union of North enroling," which contest enlisted the membership of 3.0 high school pupils and the enthu siasm ol thousand ot hearty sjmpathixeis of the State-wide movement, after a two weeks sweeping debating campaign, reached itsdrumaticcultnination in Chapel Hill Friday night in the aw ard ol the Aycock Memorial Cup to the Pleasimt Garden High School, of Guilford rounty The final clash between the af firmative team from IMens-int Garden and the negative team from Durham High School, over the query of "Woman Suffrage," was a remarkable intellectual battle, and the scene of the con test, Garrard Hall, brought to gether over 700 interested listen ers. Surrounding vicinites con tributed to swell the immense au dience ot high school pupds, prin cipal, and visitors from the east em to the western borders of the State. Sixty-lour high school pupils, representing sixteen entitled schools as victors of the prelimi nary contests, wire guests of the State's neat ot learning. Namely, the schools entitled to compete in the final contest were: Mor- ganton, Hendersnnville, Haw Fields, Concord, Mt. Pleasant, Lumberton, Oxford, Stem, Pleas- ant Garden, Graham, Smithfield, Shelby, Stoneville, Harmony, Holly Springs, Coleemee, Durham Liberty and PhiladelphuH. Three of the qualified schools to com pete for the pi ize were necessarily detained from participating iu the finale; namely, Philadelphia, Lib erty and Harmony. Tbe remain ing Hixteen schools were all rep resented by four pupils each two on the negative and two ol the affirmative side of the query. Tbe youthful orators arrived on the "Hill" Thursday as the guests ol the various couut clubs They were entertained iu a variety of ways a baseball game, an auto mobile ride, and a reception at the conclusion of the final debate were only a few of the forms of entertainment accorded the State s pick of young debators from Waynesville in the west to Elizabeth City in the east. Pre liminary debates by way of select, ing tbe final teams to contest for the Aycock Cup beg in on Thurs day night and ended with the semi-finals on Friday morning In the semi-finals on the affirmn ti ve side of the query t heee schools were successful, Graham. Hollv Springs, Durham and Pleasant Garden; on the negative these schools were the victors in the semi-finals. Haw Fields, Holly Springs, Moreanton and Durham From these were chosen the schools of Durham and Pleasant Garden as champions of the champions. The two Durham debators were Henry Greenberg and David Brady; the two ora tors to carry off the laurels for Pleasant Garden were S- C. Ilod gin and Grady Bowmnn. T. E. Story.

She reduced her death rate from 18 3 per 1,000 population in 1911 to 17.3 per 1,000 in 1912. "Well," vou say, "that doesn't look like much." Hut lets see w hat it means. Those figures are based on the deaths report d in all tonnsoftheState having a population ot 1,000 or more. Our totul population liv ing in snchtownn last year was only about 380,000, or one sixth of the- population of the Stute, This decrease in the death rate means that there were some 38G lewer funerals iu these towns last year than the year before. But, since cur present limited vital statistics law covers only about one sixth of the State, and fcince health work has been combating preventable diseases all over the State, it is safe to assume that the actual saving in lives has been six times 380, or, in round uumbers, 2,000 or over Now, let us carry this just a bit lurther and see what the State saved last year in dollHrs and cents by fighting preyenta ble diseases. We will take $1,700, the lowest estimate we can find us to the value of the average human Me (few of us would take that for ours, but let it go at that), and multiply that by the 2,000 lives saved and we have $3 400,000. That is a right snu little sum to sive by public health work which costthe state only a fittle over $100,000. In other words, does it not look like a pretty good business that will save 3,400.000 by expend ing $100,000? That is 34 to 1, but it was done right herein this State last year.

'The baby has got a new tooth and the old lady is laid up with a cold in the head," remarked a gentleuiun to a defeated candi date. " hat do I care, ' was the reply.

A Mr. Campbell and family of Pennsylvania, have purchased and moved to ihe A. J. Olliver place near Morayiau tails. William D.-nney, oged 18, was accidentally killed by the dis charge ofhis gun a lew days since in Edgecombe county.

Aik., did damagp to property to the amount ol $200 00();and the death of thir teen peonle. As a tribute to Woodrow Wil- on the grave ol his lather and mother at Columbia S. C- were decorated with flowers on last Tuesday; Pastor Russell, the propega tor of Itusselism, has been sued by his wife in the divorce courts and secured a divorce on the ground of impurity. The Rible used in administer ing he oath of nffice to the new President was his own personal property. In t-tkinsr the oath his lips touched the 39th Psalm. Rev Father Benedict, ,1. Mas sellis the oldest Jesuit Priest in the United States, dwd at the Vnivtrsity of Detroit on last Saturduv. He was born iu Belgi um. Bob Peterson, wante 1 in Yancey county for killing a white man more than a year ago has been captured in New Mexico and will probably be brought to N. C. for trial. ' The Legislature has made an appropriation of $1,500 to send GovCraigan I others to Sanfranc isco o select a sit" for the N. C. building at the Panama Exposi tion in 1915. The Richmond Times Dispatch Iihs this: That Va., is grieving over the (act that she is not rep resented in the President Cabinet. It seems that she should be satis fied as sha has furnished eight Presiden's. Mr. J. J Britt, third assistant Postmaster General has tender ed his resignation to Postmaster General Burleson.

Herexecutorlpayed over to the treasurer a few days miw the sum of $."1.57. Perhaps when re viewed, in the light of another world, the amount will be found to be greater than some U quests numbering millions of dollars. The census of 1910 shows that a smaller per cent, of the popula tion of North Carolina was bora in other States than is shown for; any other State. A greater pro portioifof our people are "home born" than any other State can boast. In like manner, there is a Bmaller per cent, of North Car olma born people Hying in other State Jean boast, except alone Texas, California nnd Louisiana. Only 4.9 per cent, of our popula tion was born in other States, and only 13.4 per cent, of our "North Carolina born" people live in other States. Only the a- hove four States make a bettei showing than this, News and Observer. 4 v?hatth8.Webb Bill Doe. The Cleveland Stnr made a re quest upon Congressman Webb lor a statement of what his li quor bill provides and in his re ply Mr Webb said: My bill is simple and easy to understand. It prohibits theship ment of liquor in Interstate Com tnerce, which liquor is intended to be used, received or sold in vi olation of the laws of 'the State into which it is shipped. It leaves it, as you will notice, entirely with each individual State to control the whole liquor ques tion lor ltsdf. Whatever use of liquor the State Law and prohib it the shipment ot such liquor, -1 nd if such liquor is shipped it is not regarded as legitimate com merce and can be seized by State Officers before it reactuis the hands of the violatoroftheState law. It is a great States right measure, which gives to t h e States the power to control the liquor question entirely as to them may seem best, unemoar rassed by federal laws." Health Warning.
