COTTON VERSUS STRING BEA NS IN HOT DEBATE Euphradian Debaters Stage a Battle of Wits on Cotton Question PRITCHARD-HEYMAN WIN Interesting Subject Results in Much Debate From Floor of Society "I would rather starve to death chewing on a cotton bale than eat string beans the rest of my life," de clared Herbert Bowling in defense of "King Cotton" when the affirmative side debating the query: Resolved, "That no cotton should be planted in South Carolina next year" in the Euph radian hall Tuesday evening, suggested the planting of truck crops in place of Eotton. Scarcely had the laughter subsided when Pritchard of the affirmative rose and admitted that his opponent seem ed to prefer "chewing the rag" to any thing else, especially direct discussion of the query. Pritchard and Heyman upheld the affirmative and Reese and Bowling were on the negative side. The debate early resolved itself into a general discussion of farming and many plans were sug getted for the benefit of the farmer. Reese attacked the economic system )f the South and quoted history to prove his assertions. Heyman was witty at the expense of his opponents, but suf fered in silence when Reese retaliated in his rebuttal. Bowling quoted in stances to bear out his facts, and Prit chard based his argument on statistics. Several men, including Foster, Hilde brand, Grimsley and Estes spoke from the floor giving their views and offer ing some points not brought out by the debaters. The committee to decide the debate voted in favor of the affirmative and a vote from the society upheld the decision. The society will give a social Tues (lay, February 29, in honor of the new ly elected officers. - U.s.c.
