THE W‘ ' AND BLACK.
HER GREATEST NEED.
“What is the greatest need of the
University?"
This question sent out hy the e<li
tors of The I'amlora, prompt* me to
write a few lines.
Ask a hoy in school and of course
he would answer money. Doubt
less this was the answer of a tna
jority of the boys; but really is the
answer a true one? If the saying
of Solomon he true, “A good name
is to he chosen rather than great
riches," then what the University
needs most is not money. The
thing most needful is that her sons
and friends defend and place her in
her true light before the people of
(Jeorgia. For it is a well known
truth that the University is grossly
maligned. The idea is prevalent
in many localities of the state that
only rich men’s sons conic or are
sent here, which is a mistaken idea.
I is true the University represents
the wealth nnd brains of the state.
Of this every patriotic Georgian
should and does feel proud. Hut if
any hoy comes here who has com
inon sense and a laudable ambition,
w ho has piinoiple, he will find the
University with open arms to re
ceive him.
Again persons blinded by seeta
rian prejudices have had a great
deal to say about the moral and re
ligious influences here. The morals
of the University we believe to he
as good as those of any college in
tin. south. Not’only has this insti
tution sent out men of great moral
alumina, such as the* (»rout Com
moner Stephens, hut such ministers
as llishop Fierce and l>r. Fulmer
claim this ns their alma mater.
la-t every friend of the University
do hie utmost to refute these wrongs.
Hy words and deeds let the present
College men do all in their power
to remove every tarnish from the
fair name of our time honored in
stitution. Especially should tin
men going out from here present
the deserved praise of this school
to their friends who expect to take
a collegiate course. C.
rill KAITA .SOCIETY.
Society met and was called to
order by the president, Mr. liean.
After the roll was called and min
utes read and adopted an informal
debate was held upon the subject,
“Resolved, That the Athens lh*
pensary is the best solution of the
liquor problem.”
I he affirmative speakers were
Messrs Akerman and Hazard. Neg-
ative Hacou, H. and Hoflfmever.
After an interesting debate the
president gave hi* decision in favor
of the negative. On motion the
society was then adjourned.

minutes read. With some low cor
rections they were adopted.' Soph-'
omore, junior and senior speakers
being absent, secretary rcud ques
lion for debate, “Resolved, That
ffovernor Tillman's course in re

South Carolina was justifiable."
Mi ssis Ryals and Sanders leading
for affirmative and negative respect
ively. Mr. Ryals was assisted by-
Messrs McGregor, Hrannen, Borne
ami Hendrix, and Mr. Sand rs by
Messrs Mobley, Ncisler and Larson.
Mr. Sanders made a fine effort in
support of the negative, but the
president decided in favor of the
affirmative. The debate lasted for
quite awhile and brought out new
information on both sides.
Question for today will he, “Re
solved, That the U. S. should lie di
vided into three separate govern
ments.’’ This is a line field for ar
gument on both sides and a hot
contest is expected.
We would like to ask what about
the spring debate? There was
none last year, hut that should not
he regarded as a prooident. If it
is, that will he a had movement.
These spring debates have been
carried ou almost uniiiteruptedly
for a number of years, and should
not he allowed to die out. It has
been a noted fact that nearly all
the medalists and anniversarians
have come from spring debaters.
IN e have heard them frequently
say that bad it not been for the
practice afforded by spring
debate they would doubtless
have failed in the contests for
medals and aniiiversarian. The so
cieties may not have the money to
get out invitations, but that should
not interfere in the least. It has
become a general belief that invita
tions to society exercises do more
harm than good. There are never
enough printed to fill the chapel if
every one came who received an in
; vitation, hut most of the invitations
are sent out of town to parlies
whom it is known cannot come to
the exercises. When only a few
parties in town receive them, others!
who perhaps are more interested in
the welfare of the college feel a del
icacy in attending when they have
no formal invitation. We are in-1
formed hy the oldest citizens in
town that before this modern for
mality was instituted that the
chapel was orowded to overflowing
on every occasion. Now why ke*-p
up a practice that is very expensive
and at the same time detrimental?
So let us away with it, go ly work
and have a rousing spring debate.
Hive everybody a cordial invita- 1
tiou and have some of the grand
good “old times" over again. »

A philosopher once divided men into
two classes—benefactor* and malefac
tors. He declared that every man came
into one class or the other—there was no
half way. The man who was not doing
good was doing evil. This rule may not
be true of men, hut it is absolutely true
of watches. You can divide them all
into two classes—the watch that isn’t a
benefactor is a malefactor.
What are benefactor watches? They
are the ones which alw ays get you to the
train on time. You never miss an en
gagement when you meet your appoint
ment by them. It is something that you
“grow to” and place your confidence in,
and it never fools you. What are male
factor watches? They are all other
kinds of watches except those above de
scribed.
Now we sell nothing hut “benefactor
watches. W»* have spent over twenty
years in the watch business, and our
judgment will protect jouin the pur
chase of a watch.
The below cost sale which is now go
ing on at our establishment enables you
to get a good watch at about half what
they usually cost. Now think about this
matter. It is a chance of a lifetime.
Come and get a really high-grade, accu
rate watch from us at the price of a
poor one. J. I\ Stevens & Hro.. Jewel
