The whole range of argu mentation to date on the intricate questions was traversed with a learning and an ability tbat did at once great credit to the speakers and the scholarship of the College. It were too invidious to say which of the speakers did best where all did so well and points ot superior ity were so small. The Judges were Rev. W. M. Fairley, J. G. McCormick. and Hon. J. W. Mc Laucbliu. The decisiou was that the arguments in behalf of the negative side were Btronger by an infinitesimal degree. inis no doubt was a just as well as gallant judgment. While the judges were making np their judgment the girls en masse marched upon the rostrum and en tertained the audience with a number of College and popnlar songs tbat were enjoyed richly and called forth many rounds ot ap plause. A general reception fol io wod at which the young people of this section and older onea were given an entertainment tbat nas perhaps never been before equalled. 'Refreshments were served by the girls and the prooeeds were devo ted to Pine and Thistle, the Col lege Magazine.

Taylor, in the United States Court in Cleveland, Ohio, Monday evening. When ordered to stand up and receive tbe sentence Mrs. Chadwick did not hear and was assisted to her fe6t by Deputy United States Mar shal Clobitz. The court asked her if she had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced She looked aronnd in bewilder ment. She was not certain what was taking place and had not the slightest idea what the court said. She was then led forward, nearer the bench, and the conrt shouted the question. , Mr, Chadwick said there was nothing she cared to say herself. Her attorneys made no appeal to the court and the sentence was im posed. Mrs. Chadwick was convicted under an indictment in which she was charged with conspiracy with Beckwith and Spear, president and cashier of the Oberlin National Bank, to certify her checks' when she nad no money in the bank. This is a transaction prohibited by the government for tbe protec tion of the depositors and stock holders of a national bank. By good behavior, Mrs. Chad wick can reduce the time of im prisonment to eight years and four months. Wanted, W. Saw bis ad. O. Thompson. UaaiH a ally V.4 tp fn. A rvftnt dispatch fruoi Atlanta, (Ja, aavs, Daniel J. Sully, who did mora last year to tend the price of cotton upwards than any other man. and who has again made his appearaoos In tha mar ket, with strong backing, for tha purpoae of once mora boosting the price, ha writteu for tb prt bureau.of the Southern Cotton Association relative to the prMnt cotton situation. Mr. Sully aays that tbe Southern farmer now has it within his ower to control with intelligence the cotton trade of tbe world. II praises tb work of the Southern Cotton Associa tion to further the interest! of the Southern farmer, and says that the work ia a great blessing not only to the farmer, but to the world. Mr. Sully contends that a fair price for cotton does not mean speculation, nor injury to manu facturers, but a blessing alike to all. He urgea the farmers to mus ter their forces and atand out for their own betterment. Th fol lowing is what Mr. Sully wrote to tbe press bureau : "Under the present momentous problem which the Soutn is new endeavoriug to solve, and which undoubtedly, it will solve to its own profit aud to admiration of tbe whole world, the means adopted ev tne boutnern ujuou Association to further tbe inter est of the Southern cotton farmer in educating him up to the possi bilities of what the cotton raising in the South can be made to mean to him, is a great blessing, not only to tbe farmers, but to th entire world. The world has now learned to realize the fioaucia strength and backboue ot the mer chant and farmers of the South as never before. There is absolute ly no question but what the South ern farmer has it within his power to control with iutelligencs the cotton trade ot the world. He has unquestonably shown iu tha past four months the qualities be pos sesses in beiug able to unite for bis own protection. He has at last become fully aware of tbe cotton requirements of the civilized world, and he realizes tbat to his labor and patience and perseverance tbe world is looking for its supply of this staple. Every dollar that the Southern farmer makes, over and above his cost of production, means the enrichment, of himself and also the eurichment of every one else. Upon tbe Southern farmer, and he practically alone, will really rest tbe advancement af civilization, for clothes are es aensential to civilzition, and tbe South must farnishthe bulk of the world's cotton clothes. It has been well said, by Henry Grady, I believe, that every missionary of the Gospel as he penetrates the wilds of Africa or tbe isles of the sea, is an advauce agent for South ern cotton. It, therefore, resolves itself to this one fact, that as tbe South raises about eight-tenths of the cotton of the world, upon it devolves the great problem of fur nishing enough all the millions not now civilized may become clothed and civilized. The South should realiZ9 at once tbat there is no safer investment than its own cotton ; tbat tbe financial world to-day considers cotton one of the safest sec a rites known, and espe cially if it is in good condition and iu merchantable warehouses. To this end, therefore, the inter ests ot tbe South should muster their forces, and provide a reser voir that will hold 'their surplus ootton in such shape that the farmer, the merchant and the banker of the South lean invest fait surplus mouey in lhat security whioh is acknowledged fcy tha world.lot the tsi.TbSoath bold P Mmws. , T the Pwalic. tbe conoaaod of tbe world s cotton t.ormpodhc- or mt koImmUd.
