Thursday night, at 8:15 o’clock, Prof.
J. G. McLellan made a short address of
welcome to the immense crowd that
packed the Public School building almost
to suffocation, to hear the debate between
the Washington and the Lee literary soci

“Resolved, That the Evil Influences of
Intemperance Exceed those of the Sensa
tional Press.” Paul King, president of
the Washington society, introduced the
speakers of the Lee society, and Wil
liam Trimble, president of the Lee soci
ety introduced the speakers of the
Washington society. The Lee socie
ciety, had the affirmative, and the Wash
ington the negative. The affirmative
speakers were: Geo. Shine, Cail Bivings
and Theo. Baker ; the negative speakers,
Roy McLellan, Miss Kate Black and Miss
Mattie Greer. The Judges were: Miss
Alice Moore, Commissioner M. P. Berry
and Col. J. B. Terry. The debate was
finished at 9:45. The speeches aud pa
pers were most excellent. Col. Terry, in
a neat little speech, stated that the judges
had decided in favor of the negative.
This (Friday) morning Col. Walter M.
Jones made a bright and appropriate ad
dress before the school, which was much
enjoyed by the students and others pres
ent. Rev. J. M. Mecklin then delivered
