High : Honors Gracefully Worn by Two Guilford County Boys.' The. following copied '.from the North Carolina State V High School Bulletin, . just received, " commehting on the Inal contest of he High School Debating Union of North Car olina will be of interest to our read ers. : . ' - v " "To Messrs. Grady Bowman and Samuel C. Hodgiil, the affirmative speakers for Pleasant Garden high school, of Guilford county, belongs the prou'l honor of winning out over the a her sixty- wo debaters who were ; here. Their names, together with the name of their : school, will bU inscribed on the Aycock cup. , "Especially effective was Mr. Sam uel C. Hodgin," the second speaker for Pleasant Garden. In native abil i' y and for rough and ready power ?u debating it wcyild be difficult, l net impossible, to find his superior in any college of the state. He was as much at home as v a seasoned stump speaker. "The debate itself was of the in tercollegiate caliber. The rejoinders were spirited on both sides." The ap plause was frequent when the de baters dug into their adversaries both in their speeches and in their rejoinders. , "The Debating Union, as provided for by the Di and Phi Societies, is to be a permanent affair. This year its success was phenomenal. Letters from superintendents all over the state express approval of the socie ties' work in extending their aid to the schools. Every high schcpl in the state is invited to become a member of the union next year. The great success this time and the ben efit to 360 high school pupils are but forerunners of still larger achieve ments in he future." FIRE IN THE FAIR GROUNDS. "Knowh Par$ Are Responsible For- Less to Mrt J. H. West. Between 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday morning the refreshment stand in the fair grounds of the Central Car olina Fair Association, operated by Mr. J. H. West, of Greensboro, was destroyed by fire, together with chairs, tables and other fixtures. The building alone cost $800, and furni ture about $300, making a total loss of $1,100. ' Mr. West has no idea how the fire originated. The gates of the fair grounds are supposed to be kept locked, bu- crime, like love, laughs locks and bars. It is supposed that a midnight orgie of some kind probably gambling or worse was held by unknown parties afraid of daylight, and it being a cold night, that they built a fire and failed o puf it out before leaving. This is the theory, but no clue has been found that would lead to the identification of the culprits. People living near the fair grounds saw the blaze, but the fire had gone too far to be controlled. The building was owned by the fair association and the furniture and fixtures by Mr. West,, who car ried no insurance. - ...

A man thinks a good eal of his home paper when he is willing to travel - half across the continent to ' pay his subscription. That is the way Mr. John R.

Mr. Qoffin is an old Guilford boy who has "made good" in his West ern home; where he has lived for a number of years, holding at the pres ent time thV, very responsible posi tion of coriimissioner of public works at Terre Haute, ind. He has a sis ter in Guilford and other relatives' in the state and every few years he journeys back to look over , the eld scehos and renew the friendships of his early youth. He located in Ter re Haute when that progressive city of sixty thousand inhabitants was a sir all town and has watched the city grow to its present propor tions. He talks - interestingly of the West and his varied experiences, oe, of which, was his narrow escape in the recent terrific cyclone which passed in two blocks of his house. Mr. Coffin is a regular reader of The Patriot, and in that way has kept track of his old friends and the wonderful growth of this sec tion, especially of his home county which he still loves to visit.
