II Annual Public Meeting of Lit erary Societies. The annual publio meeting of the Pierian Literary society which was 'held in the auditorium of the S. C. C. I. Wednesday evening last, was altogether the most creditable of its kind that has been held at this institution in many years. A most interesting and instructive program was creditably rendered to a large and attentive audience. The exercises were opened with grayer by Rev. J. R. Walker. The first number on the program was a reading selection by E. S. Dun bar. This was .a humorous selection in which was described the effects of music upon an appreciative hear er. This number was decidedly the '"hit" of the program. The second number was a decla mation, taken from Thos. Dixon's "Leopard Spots," by L. M. Smith. This young gentleman acquitted himself most creditably, and held the undivided attention of the au dience by a delivery that would have reflected credit upon a more experienced orator. The audience was favored with two instrumental solos rendered by Miss Thelma Bailey and Miss Sal lie Mae Miller. By their artistic rendition of difficult clatsic compo sitions, these young ladies displayed unusual talent and showed most careful training. The query in the debate of the evening was, resolved: "That any further annexation would be detri mental to the United States." The affirmative was represented by L. ' S. Cox and G. H. Burriss while G. V. Huiett and A. E. Burns defend ed the negative side of the question. The speeches of these young men showed depth of thought and a careful preparation. Their manner of presentation was especially at tractive and called forth favorable comments from all sides. As the judges were preparing, their decision, the audience was en- j tertained by the chorus olass which rendered a medley of American National airs. The twelve young ladies oomposing this class rendered this difficult selection in an artistic manner that called forth favorable comments upon themselves and re flected much credit upon their di rection. The announcement of the decis ion of the judgee was made by the chairman, Mr. Orlando Sheppard. Mr. Sheppard took occasion to speak in the highest terms of praise of the exercises and stated that it was indeed difficult for the judges to come to a decision. However, they had finally decided in favor of the negative. This^meeting has been pronounced by many as being the most cr?dita Early prettiest weaves, It pring's business the sn rom the famous Nansh e of the finest America 3 them, i Wear Lines * Annex irtment we shall i smart styles in and one piece ges and foulard esses and muslin co ha W( an sta w sei co: $5 In conclusion we wish satisfied with any transa< isfactory to a customer ar be accorded the privilege THE CORNI W.

Next Sunday is Columbia College day in every Methodist church ir the Columbia district. Columbia college is one of fiv( women's colleges in all southern ] Methodism that are ranked in the highest class-class A-along with eight of our best colleges formen The college this year has enrolled more than 250 students. Columbia college opened in 1859 with a property that cost $48,000.00, with an indebtedness of $16,000.00. This indebtedness was on the new college which was built in 1905. These new buildings were burnt on September 9th, 1909. We have built again dormitories, dining roora, and kitchen at a cost, with furnishings of $160,000.00. The property is worth $220,000.00 with an indebtedness of $83,000.00. Our immediate pressing need is a $50,000.00 administration building. Columbia district has undertaken to raise $10,000.00 of this. The cam paign begins Sunday and lasts a week. We want every Methodist to invest in our splendid college. Give largely if you can. If not, give what you can. I wish to thank The Advertiser for giving space for this statement. J. R. Walker. Waycross School.
