It meets every Friday and interesting pro grams are always rendered. The last meeting we had a lively and finely presented debate on this question—Resolved, “The cotton gin has been of more benefit to mankind than the telegraph.” This is an important question and many practical points were brought out pro aud con. Those who made the first speeches on the affirmative were, Lewis Ren der, Joe Dunson, Jim Toni Loyd| Wallace Clark and Eugene Pierce. Those on the negative were, Har ry Slack, Chas. Cotter, Searcy Slack and Willie Lehman. The judges found difficulty in decid ing but the weight of the argu ment was given to the boys on the negative. These debates are generally impromptu and they re quire quick thinking, and the members agree to overlook a blun der, however, nothing of this kind ever happened. The society has made arrange ments to supply song books for the morning exercise at the school. Mr. James Handley made the motion that we get these books a s he is an enthusiast of song, and the society was unanimous in thinking it an excellent idea, so the books will soon be en route for the school. The morning ex ercises are not a part of the pro gram for the society but we have the pleasure of contributing this much to the school. When the society had finished its business, a committee of Miss es Corinne Jarrel, Mildred Han son and Corinne Heard from the Eliot Club which is the girl’s so ciety of the High School, came to offer a challenge to the Philoma theon society in a debate. A motion was made that the chal lenge should be accepted. This motion was carried and a commit tee of Lewis Render, Chas. Cot- ter and Harry Slack was appoint ed to arrange time, subject and Ladies’ Hose We had the gopd fortune to pick up ft job lot of about 50 dozen ladies’ lace striped black Hose, these goods are really worth from 15c to 35c pair, wo will sell the entire lot, IflT* this sale - - lUv White Marseilles Quilts You can buy during this sale any $1.25 or $1.35 white Marseille Quilt in the store for only Pearl Buttons If you want anything in pearl Buttons, now is your chance, 10c dozen pearl buttons to go, only CLOTHING DEPARTMENT o 0 0 O 0 0 O 0 0 a So now is the chance to convince yourself that this is a 0 true saying.

This committee met Misses Hanson and Jarrel of the other society and arranged for the de bate as follows: The subject shall be, “English is a more beneficial study than Mathematics.” The time is set two weeks for prepar ation ; and the speakers shall be chosen one each from the eighth, ninth aud tenth grades of eacli society; a coin was tossed for the sides, the boys getting the affirm ative. The speakers have not yet been elected but this will be done at the next meeting. The debate will be close as the socie ties make one run match and the speakers will be chosen on both sides. Already great interest is being taken in this mental clash, for there was always a friendly, though decided, rivalry between the chosen young desciples of Demosthenes DeLoach. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hand, of Truett, Ala., were visiting here Saturday and Sunday. Mr. W. J. Kirby and Mr. W. H. Jacobs and daughter, Miss Dora, of West Point, attended the fun eral of Mrs. Hadaway last Wed nesday. Rev. Jesse Holiday, who was to conduct the services at the burial of Mrs. Hndaway, foiled to come aud Mr. W. H. Haralson conduct ed services. A large number was present. Mrs. Hadaway leaves two sons and two daughters, quite a number of relatives and 1 a host of friends to mourn her death, I hope that other papers will follow the lead of The Reporter and take up the fight for better roads. My plan would be to levy a property tax for the improve ment of the public roads. Of course some will oppose this, but none can do so whom it will not benefit, for those who are the largest property holders will be the most benefitted by improved roads.
