The plan provides for a triangular debate betweens schools o f the same standing and convenience of lo cation.: The two Societies of the University will suggest the query and Drovide. from the University library in nambhlet form, mater- ial covering both sides of th e question, f r e eObf cost. Each school will send out. a team jt o debate the negative side :6f the query, and keep a team at home to debate the affirmative side. The schools winning -both sides will be entitled to send both teams t o Chapel Hill where a contest will be held to determine the two teams that shall ! contest in the final 4ebate for? the State Championship, -lhes school win- ning the debate in the finals will ne awaraeu me mtwn jxiv morial Cup" with the name of the school and -the member, of ine ream ragraveu uu '"'.f. - team snouia win ine cup ior vwo successive years it becomes that school's property..

Lexington 3iy Hurt in Peculiar Manner. Lexington, Nov. 16. Friends of the family were inexpressibly shocked late this afternoon to learn of the shooting of little Lacy Bobbins, . seven or eight year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Bobbins, which occurred at O. P. Pickett's store in west Lex- fnsvtsw m nn m t 1 n V mill It appears that young Clydethrouh the Proper channels at Pickets who clerks in his broth- er's store, was trying to sell a pistol to another young man. The customer suggested that he try and see if the gun would shoot a hole through the floor. The young 'man fired and the Bobbins boy, with two or three other youngsters,' rtt under the store to see if the bullet came through. After sticking a straw through the hole, all of the boys came out except Lacy Bobbins. Not missing him and thinking there was no one else under the store, Pickett fired again: The bullet struck the child on - the right shoulder and ranged down across his chest, passing through his left lung. The physicians entertain no hope for his recov ery. . . Much sympathy is felt for the family and for the" unfortu- nate young man who was the cause of the child's injury. ; Box Party.

Good Roods Association Heet It has gradually come to be recognized that t o accomplish the best results in road building there must be organization and systematic effort on the part of the citizens in a community, a county, a State, or a section of country having similar topogra phic conditions, or where natural conditions are such as to create common bond o f interest. Eight of the southern States have portions of their territory ying in the Southern Appala chian Mountains, and thus the actual physical conditions o f road construction would create a bond of interest between these States if there were no other i reason why they should be unit ed in trying to lend force to movement who object is . to pro mote the construction o f good roads throughout this region, These States are Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee; North-Carolina, Soutn Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. In order for this good roads work to be carried on vigorously, it is , ne cessary for those who realize the im portance of this improvement to get together and discuss ways and . means of financing the of roads in their section, methods of construction interstate high ways which would open up de sirable section in different States etc. The four convention which have been held by the Southern Appalachian' Good Boads " Asso ciation have been the means o. bringing together such . citizens from these States', men who have been willing. 'to . sacrifice their time and - expend considerable effort for the ; advancement' o this causejand, at the convention in Atlanta; it is hoped-that those who now- expect to attend wi not only to- themselves, but in tirest others in this- movement, Josh Hyde- rrttt,-,Pre3 r , . .
