credit cannot be given Messrs.
Goodrich and McIntyre for the
untiring work they gave in
<Jeorgia’s behalf.
The orchestra of the Univer
sity, recently organized hv’Dr.
Campbell, added much pleasure
to the occasion by their pleas
ing selections.
Mr. Hirsch as master of cere
monies introduced, by a few
words, Mr. Goodrich, leader of

powers who could also play

was perhaps the most potent fac
tor in the debate. He demol-
tivc in these closing minutes
and reinforced his own position.
The judges,Messrs. Newman,
Lumpkin and Richardson, ren
dered the decision in favor of
II t ”' Georgia amid the shouts of the
delighted audience.
Thus closed the fifth debate
the affirmative, as the
speaker. Mr. Goodrich pro
ceeded to deliver one of the., ,, . VT ,,
7, , . . 1 , .1 between Georgia and North Gar-
finest debates ever heard at the ,. , „ ,,
University. The fir*t point in
liis disputation was that a mo
nopoly in private hands is inde
fensible and contrary to law.
Next lie stated that the point at
issue was not whether trusts ef
fect a saving but whether such
issue was to the consumer.
He showed that these savings
accrued to a small number of
capitalists alone. By anticipat
ing, lie refuted the argument
that trusts accounted for our
supremacy in export trade. He time and tlie
showed the foundation princi- the audience
pie of the system was the desire
to consolidate so as to control
production and control prices.
He condemned trusts from Un
ethical point of uiew, and also
proved that they were injurious]
to young men.
Mr. Stern, leader of the neg
ative, spoke uext. He exhibi
ted a thorough knowledge of
his subject and a wonderful
composure in delivering his
well written speech. He en
deavored to shift the burden of
proof, which Goodrich had al
ready thrust upon the negative,
upon the shoulders of his oppo
nents.
After music by the orchestra,
McIntyre spoke for Georgia. He
said that the legislatures of the
various states condemned trusts,
olitia, and thus was Georgia's
second victory over her formi
dable opponent won.
Hying, placards glaring, horns
piping, drums beating, and tfP*Ti
singing and yelling, the class
surpassed the April exercises
of any of its predecessors and
set a pace that will be hard to
equal by classes in succeeding
years. Lucy Cobb and the
Normal School were repeatedly
visited, and confusion among
the students of these institu
tions was created at each visit.
At Lucy Cobb it was a study to
watch with what system and
valor the lady teachers sprang
to protect those immortal goats.

Hiss Gordon to Recite. i
Next week Miss Caroline
Lewis Gordon will appear at the
Opera House, giving selections
of negro melodies and dialect
recitations.
Miss Gordon is a daughter of
the distinguished and beloved
Gen. John B. Gordon, and is a
woman of exceptional ability.
She lias made a study of the
1 negro character, his dialect,
songs, and sayings, and toy her
renditions of the same,has made
quite 9 reputation for herself.
Miss HordOn is doing a good
worjgto perpetuate the memory

war, and in showing the char
acter of the darkey in those
days.

The appearance of the Track
Team postponed from Monday
on account of the inclemency of
the weather, was mode yester
day. (’apt. Dean bad tin-vari
ous candidates go through pre-
lerninary exercises so as to get
their muscles limbered up.
Those men who expect to enter
track events should go into
training at once and take daily
practice on the field. The
Handicap Field Day occurs on
the 20th inst ., while the regular
Field Day will come olF some

clearly expressed as was the in
dignation on the teachers’
when the Lawyers made their
appearance at Lucy Cobb.
When the two hymns were fi
nally untangled, we had a Fac
ulty chorus solely—the students
refusing to sing.
The Freshmen got caught in
re-* their own joke, however. Af-
from tin- students of their moth
er institution, proceeded to do
wholesale cutting themslves.
Altogether the flay was the
liviest All Fools’ Day in the
University has seen in years.
The lawyers closed the day’s
celebration with an appropriate
banquet, a notice of which will

The new uniforms make an
improvement not only in the
looks of the men hut also in
their ease of movement. Thurs
day, the ’Varsity made their
