THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 21. 1903.
THE ANNUAL
DEBATE HELD.
AT THE MJIHTOHIVM I,AST FRI
DAY NIGHT—A LARGE CROWD
WAS IX ATTENDANCE.
The trusts and monopolies of
the United States may now rest in
peace since it was decided last Fri
day night that they were not a
positive injury to ihis nation and
Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Morgan and
other heads of the trusts can lie
down to rest without fear of being j
disturbed since the Lvsians have j
said that they are a benefit rather
than an injury tc the country.
The affirmative side of the above
question was ably supported by
Messrs. R. L. Bolton, F. L. Brin
son and E. T. Mcllvaine while
Messrs. H. L. Covington, C. F.
Lifsey and C. S. Kelley champion
ed the negative view of the sub
ject. The speeches made by both
sides were far above the average.
We will not attempt to go into de
tail with each oration but suffice
it to say that they were the equal
of anything to be heard in any
of the colleges of the state and
the young men have reason to j
congratulate themselves upon their
depth of thought and brilliancy
of oratory. Notwithstanding that |
there was a display of strong!
argument on the side of the affirm-)
ative, the judges, Cols. E. A. I
Stephens, F. M. Stafford and C. j
J. Lester, saw fit to cast their j
decision in favor of the negative. I
An unexpected feature of the
occasion was the conferring of a
gold medal upon the best speaker
of the evening. As soon as the
arguments had come to a close
Rev. li. H. Morris arose and stated
that he had been appointed by the
local lodge Knights of Pythias to
confer upon the best speaker of
the occasion, who was to be ap
pointed by the chairman of the
committee of three to be appoint
ed by the chairman of the meeting,
Prof. C. L. Anderson. The com
mittee appointed, Rev. R. H.
Morris, Col. J. Q. Nash and
Mr. B. H. Hardy, awarded the
medal to Mr. R. L. Bolton and it
was presented to him amidst a
storm of applause.
The musical part of the program
was not less entertaining and well
carried out than was the literary
feature. The choruses, duets and
solos were all exceedingly good and
showed that the children had re
ceived he most careful and pains
taking training. Every feature
of the entertainment was thor
oughly enjoyable and the evening
one of great pleasure and instruc
tion.
No Preaching at Meth
odist Church Sunday.
Rev. J. N. Snow announces that
there will be no preaching at the
Methodist church next Sunday.
He will be out of the city and as
the meeting is in progress at the
Baptist church, he will not secure
any body to fill his pulpit, thus
affording his congregation an op
portunity to attend the protracted
services.
Picnic Will Not Be Held.
The Sunday School picnic will
not be held this week as was an
nounced in some of the churches
last Sunday morning but has been
postponed. It is not known when
it will be held, probably next week,
but it is not certain. Those inter
ested in the matter will please take
notice of the fact so that there
will be no disappointment about
it. The reason of the postpone
ment was the meeting which is
going on at the Baptist church.
SENATOR CARMACK
OF TENNESSEE
WIUj BPRAK AT THE BARNES*
VIMiK CHAUTAUQUA. SATUR
DAY MORNING, JUNE JSOth.
Senator Carmack, of Tennessee,
has accepted an invitation to
speak before the Barnesville Chau
tauqua, on Saturday morning June
20th.
Senator Carmack is the fiery
young democratic statesman who
is one of Tennessee’s representa
tives in the United States Senate.
He it is who has stirred up the
wrath of President Roosevelt more
than any other one man, by the
arraignment of the president on
account of his position on certain
questions of vital importance to
the south. Senator Carmack is
not only a fearless statesman but
he is an orator of great reputation.
There will be a great crowd present
to hear and honor him when he
speaks in Barnesville.
The Chautauqua program is
now about complete and it will be
one of the best Chautuquas ever
in the country.
Will Deliver Sermon.
Rev. J. N. Snow will go to
Douglasville next Sunday and de
liver the commencement sermon
at the Douglasville college. The
people of that town may congrat
ulate themselves upon having se
cured such an able and eloquent
man to till their pulpit on that
occasion and they could not have
been more fortunate in their choice
of a preacher, as Mr. Snow is one
of the deepest thinkers and most
entertaining orators the people of
this town have had the pleasure
of listening to in their churches.
He will no doubt win many friends
for himself by his efforts next
Sunday.
Bishop Nelson Preaches.
! Bishop C. K. Nelson, the head
of the Episcopal church in Geor
gia, preached at the Baptist church
here Sunday evening to a large
congregation. He was in oho city
in the interest of the denomina
tion which he represents, and by
invitation filled the Baptist pul
pit.
The subject of the sermon was,
“Godliness is Profitable in all
Things” and it was a magnificent
effort. Everybody was greatly
pleased and the Bishop held the
undivided attention of the large
audience from beginning to end.
The Episcopalians have a church
organization in this city, but only
a small membership and nochurch
building. About two years ago
the foundation was laid for a
building, but it has not been com
pleted.
Making Changes.
The Barnesville Blues have been
making some important changes
in their armory. They have torn
out the rooms up-stairs and thrown
the whole into one hall thus giving
them a great deal more space.
They have secured two rooms
down stairs and will fit them up
nicely for their reading rooms, etc.
Considerable money is being
spent in the renovation of the
armory and when it is finished
it will be one of the most com
plete and up-to-date homes for
a military company of any town
in this section.
The Blues are in a flourishing
condition having the largest mem
bership that they have known in
sometime and are becoming well
drilled. The United States inspec
tor will visit them soon and they
hope to be found in tiptop condi
tion when he arrives.
