The Speeches Were of a Ilifth Or der and Well Prepared-Large Crowd Present. Craven Memorial Hall, at Trinity ark, was well filled Friday night with students of the college, of the paik community and of this city and West Durham, lhe occasion was the Inter Society debate between the Iesperiah ana Columbian Literary Societies of the coilege. Hon. H A. rousheepresiJed over the exercises of the evening. The query discussed was, "lie- solved, That the United States hould restrict immigration to those able to read and write the English anguage and owning property to the value of fifty dollars." The Columbian society had the affirmative, and the Hesperian Soci ety the negative. Mr. W. G. Lowderrailk was the first speaker on the affirmative Bide. le contended that foreigners did not make as good citizens in Ameri ca as our own people; tnat almost the entire immigration came from Europe; that the proportion of pau pers and criminals came from the foreign class of people, lie con tended that it would be better to re strict this class as set forth in the query. Mr. W. G. Parker was the hrst peaker on the negative. The speak er alluded to the fact of the United Stales being one of the greatest countries on the globe; it was made so by immigration from Europe. The most skillful and best laborers n the world have come from this class. Many men who have become great in this country of ours did not have 150 when they landed on our shores. " Mr. G. H. Smith, far the affirma tive, and Mr. J. P. Frizzelle, for the negative, spoke next in,the or der named. They made most tell ing points, and faithfully upheld their sides of the question. In the rejoinders, which were lim ited to six minttes each, the four speakers got in the most convincing arguments and made the fur fiy, so to speak. At the ciose of the debate, the judges, Mr. J. Ed. Stagg, Judge R VV. Winston and Prof. R. L. Flow era, retired to make up their decis ion. They were out but a short time, when they returned and Judge K. . i . 1 .1 . i . I. . 1 VV inston announced iui me ueuis- ion was in tavor ot tne negative. While the best speech was made on the affirmative side, from an oratori cal standpoint the negative was en titled to it. Judge Winston very gracefully spoke of the high order of the speeches, and said that we need not be surprised to see four new lawyers turned out some day. Every speaker was 'greeted with enthusiastic applause, and the colors of the two societies could be seen throughout the hall. We have at tended every one of the inter eociety debates since they have been held in Durham, and can truthfully say that we have never witnessed one that was more enjoyable, interesting am? on a higher plane than that of o t Friday night.
