1 f t£v, it / 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. SiiiKt.iiY Brooks, Sec. lVof. 1).

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. » As the expenses of Mr. S. M. Sey ford have been met by kind friends those who have paid their subscrip tions can have the money refunded. If they do not wish the money re funded it will go to the funds of the college Y. M. C. A.

Every job guaranteed. firman 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 ers. 47 Whitehall street, Atlanta. ay arrrnsn'A, J. W.
