The Henry Grady Debating
society of the Greenville graded
schools triumphed in de-
bate. Its representatives,
B. F. Taylor and L. J. won
a splendid victory night
the contest with Washington.
This makes the second place the
society has won, it having been
the victor in the contest
last spring.
The contest Friday evening
was held in the auditorium of the
Washington public school build-
It was presided over by
Supt. N. C. the society
of his school being represented
by Messrs. Charlie and
Enoch Simmons. The judges
were Rev. M. T. Plyler. of
Washington, H. E. Austin,
of Greenville, and Supt. K. G.

had the affirmative
side of the query, which was as
That the
United States Should Subsidize
Her Merchant Marine in Terms
of the Humphrey A sum-
of the principal speeches
of the Greenville speakers was
given in Friday's
Their rejoinders were both well
composed and well delivered.
The first negative speaker was
Mr. Meekins. He chose for his
principal part of the query the
fact that as a nation we are
being legislated to death. That
the people are all the time being
slowly but surely deprived of
their rights. That special inter-
are striving continually to
secure the passage of special
privilege laws, and the
law is one of these. He showed
that while the merchant marine
is inadequate, there is no justify-
subsidies as a means of
it.
The second speaker was Mr.
Enoch Simmons. His speech
was carefully thought out, and it
was a splendid piece of work.
He reviewed the history of our
cross-sea service, showing that
the United States had never been
a maritime nation. That we have
concerned ourselves with our
internal development, and have
left our marine problems to
English and Japanese seamen.
That we have not lost by this
policy, as can build and
operate ships very much
than we can because of cheap
labor and cheap raw material.
He contended that as a nation
we can better afford to devote
oar attention to conservation, to
internal improvements, and to
defensive problems than to try
to place large sums of money at
the heads of snip owners in an
attempt to compete with England,
Germany and Japan.
After the debate the judges
retired to a private office and
balloted The first vote was
unanimous for the affirmative.
In announcing the decision, Rev.
M. T. Plyler complimented the
speakers, declaring that he had
heard many a debate in colleges
and universities that were not so
good.
While the committee was out
making up its decision, Supt.
introduced Supt. H. B.
Smith to the audience. Mr.
Smith expressed his appreciation.
of the cordial treatment he and
the Greenville party had
ed. He spoke of the importance
of public speaking and debate as
a part of education, that
he was triad that the schools were
giving it more attention, and

STEPHEN C WOOTEN DEAD
SUPERIOR COURT.
Body Fed
Early Thai
Mr. Stephen C Wooten. a
young attorney here, was found
dead this morning just before
o'clock, in his room at the Taylor
boarding house on Dickinson
avenue. Mr. Wooten attended
court Wednesday, going to his
room early in the evening. Not
going down to supper, Mr. B. F.
with Taylor went up to his room about
o'clock to see if he wanted
anything. Mr. Wooten told Mr.
Taylor that he did not care fur
any supper, as he did not feel
well and wanted to retire so
to get up early this morning and
prepare for some business he had
in court today.
Not having come down by
breakfast time this morning, Mr,
Taylor again went up to Mr.
room a little before
o'clock. Opening the door he
saw Mr. Wooten lying across the
edge of the bed his feet and
being up on the bed and
head and shoulders on the floor
It was seen at a glance that he
was dead.
Coroner Laughinghouse was
notified and when he went to
examine the body he deemed an
inquest unnecessary, pronouncing
that Mr. Wooten had died of
epileptic convulsion- He
had a struggle during the
convulsion, from the position in
which his body was found,
his neck was broken by his hear.
and shoulders falling off upon
the floor. It is thought he

found.
Mr. Wooten was one of those
badly injured in the
accident on the 5th of
when Messrs. J. L. Fleming
and Harry Skinner, Jr., wen
killed. After the accident Mr.
Wooten was for some weeks in s
critical condition, but finally re-
covered and resumed his law
practice. He was apparently as
well as usual, with the
of occasionally having s
convulsion.

National Report.
In a statement issued by the
National association it
is estimated that the acreage
planted to cotton in the Southern
states on April had been in-
creased by seven-tenths of one
per cent., as compared with the
same date last year. In
Atlantic states a small increase
is reported, while the valley
states show a slight decrease be-
cause of the spread of the boll
weevil. Texas shows a slight
increase and Oklahoma about
per cent not as much as
in March in either state.
This is explained by the scarcity
of increasing the
acreage in corn, oats and alfalfa.
Reports to the association show
that per cent, of the crop has
been planted. The greater part
of the which were up be-
fore the recent cold weather

PLEAD HIS CASE.
the s Verdict of
Net
There was a right sharp color-
ed man, named Willis Grimes,
in court Wednesday, and the
old man showed that he knew a
thing or two. Willis, who is a
preacher and quite a glib talker,
was indicted for assault with
deadly weapon. When the case
was called Grimes had no lawyer
to appear for him, so was given
a seat in the bar to conduct bis
own defense.
The substance of the case was
that a young colored buck, filled
with liquor, went to
home and was raising a
Grimes when
the young buck arrived, but
came in during the disturbance
and ejected disturber from
the house. The young buck
went in again and was put out a
second time, the former doing
much cursing and threatening
during the rumpus.
then armed himself with a
stick, and as Grimes stood in the
door with a gun advanced on him
saying one of them was going to
be killed, and Grimes shot him.
The State began its testimony,
turning the witnesses over to
Grimes for cross examination
which he did very cleverly.
When the State rested the old
man his witnesses called and
examined them a way that
caused the members of the bar
to sit up and take notice, and
afforded much amusement.
At the conclusion of the
Grimes made a speech to
the jury, and notwithstanding
the solicitor had the last speech,
Grimes bad outlined his defense
so well as to convince the jury
of his innocence and they gave
a verdict of not guilty.

A Cake Worth While.

of the largest cakes ever dis-
played in Wilmington, baked
especially for establishment

inches high, inches long
inches wide and weighs
pounds. It is very attractive
in appearance, with beautiful
decorations, and bears the name
of the company in colored let-
Twenty dozen eggs, and
a large quantity of flour, but
sugar, etc., were required
for the immense creation of the
baker's art. The cake will be
cut Saturday afternoon at
o'clock and will be served to the
patrons of the store. Mr. E. N.
Penny will assay the role of chief
carver and every person entering
the store during the afternoon
will be invited to partake of the
delicacy. Three dimes were
baked in the cake and those who
find the pieces of silver will be

How often do you
eat this food
A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection of
the foods you eat.
A good many people surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper reader would have
expected to ace first place given to
good oatmeal.
As a matter of fact Great

quantities of Quaker Oats because it

order just issued by Inter-

action upholds the opinion
of Commissioner James S.
in the case of Bernard
versus the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, et the
of the mileage ticket ex-
change regulation now in effect
on the railroad in the Southeast
is upheld. The order is of great
importance to railroads issuing
interchangeable mileage tickets
and to purchasers of such tickets.
In this order the commission
right to use ex-
change orders and mileage tick-
is in the nature of a privilege
voluntarily accorded by carriers
under their tariffs, and must
accepted by those who use such
special fares with all lawful and
limitations
that may be attached to them.
Three important points made by
the commission are that the
of mileage tickets in
no sense but is
and voluntary on
the part of the carriers, that
purchasers of mileage tickets
may not lawfully be constituted
into a class, but must
come under the general law com-
to passengers, and
purchasers of mileage tickets are
bound by the lawful contract

Let Oar People Try This.
The reason why some towns
grow is because there are men of
push and energy in them who are
not afraid to spend their money.
They erect substantial building--,
organize stock companies,
factories, work for public
improvement and use every
means in their to induce
men to settle in their city.
Wherever they go they tell t
the possibilities and advantages
of their town, they write about
them in every letter, they send
circulars and newspapers to all
whom they can get to visit the
town, and when any stranger
treat him so well he
comes again whenever he has
the opportunity. It is enterprise
and all pulling together that
makes a progressive, wide-
awake and growing town. Don't
let this fact escape your memory.

We wrote you last week but
after we had sealed and directed
what we had written we be-
thought ourselves, and behold it
Thursday and not
day, and as your weekly comes
out on Thursday morning of
course we were one day too late.
So we decided that we would be
on time this week and send this
in on Tuesday and if in you
wisdom you see fit to publish
this, with any of last week's
that you may deem proper, then
let it come.
On Thursday evening of last
week about twenty of our
young men and fair
with a sufficiency of the older
people of the community as
met here about sun-
set expecting to go to Ayden to
hear Rev. Mr. of Wash-
preach. Because of those
things that are at times
able the whole crowd were dis
appointed in going to Ayden, but
were not disappointed in having
splendid social time. We all
gathered at the home of
Jackson and were highly enter-
by several recitations
rendered by Miss Lizzie Hines,
our very efficient teacher. Mrs.
Carrie and Miss Pearl
Jackson gave us a few choice
pieces that were well rendered,
then we had songs and a real
good time until o'clock told us
that it was time for working
people to repair to their own
homes. All went home feeling
that there are more ways than
one for people to get good out of
this fleeting life.
Friday of this week will be
commencement day with the
graded school at ton.
Prof. Carlile, of Wake Forest,
will deliver the literary address

game of ball at p. m. The

we hope they will be retained
for another year.
