Get Debate test 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. Kittrell, of Tarboro. 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 that the towns were beginning to enter into contests with eat her.

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 been dead several hours when 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. Stephen C Wooten was years of age and a son of Mr A. M. Wooten. of township. He was born ii Edgecombe county, his moving to Pitt when he very young. He attended Whit sett institute and then the taking up the law at the latter.

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 were killed except in central and southern Texas, and it is mated that 14.000,000 acres outcome should be replanted.

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.

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. Sanford Express. Lion Fondles a Child.

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.

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.
