A DEBATE.

AFFIRMATIVE.
In h> fi st place :b?- mOe oo)'e e<
re mi ch hu?fcer than be fem-'(
0'itl?ges Why i* tbi* if th> b^vaa e
?.? superior 10 the gir's in scH- ol?
You all know very well that th<
jentl^men teachers are far superioi
o the lady teachers I have noticed
be boys stands ahead in tpellinp
more than the girls, end you all heard
ur teacher say that the boys were
not as apt to sp-^ak incorrectly af
some of the gitls.
I went to a school once whe?e the
'eacher offered prize? in three classes
*o the ones that had the nioct perfect
lessons. Every time any one
had a perfect lesson he gave hiai ?
merit and at the end of the schoo
coun'ed up the merits. In two classes
the boys received the p:izea and ir
one class a girl received a prize
Why was this if the boys were no!
superior to the girls in school.
Ia the same school a girl copiec
tl e answer in L n ; Division and tb<
teacher could not do anything with
her udtil he gave her a whipping
He did not find any boy guilty oi
that. In an arithmetic class were
two girls and one boy. The boy
ould always work his examples some
better than the girls. He must tc
have been superior to the girls. Oof
teacher said at the end of bis scboo1
hat a boy had go't-m aloDg very fasl
in arithmetic. Ij his class weresev
eral giils and bjys, but the teacher
said that the boys were better than
!be others.
In a school I notice that some ol
the large girls gave the teacher mors
rouble than the large boys, aod the
sluiH girls, too, e-peciallv odp, for
she hud Pome.hiDg to cry aboul
nearly every day. And in aDothei
-chcol, when a little girl first started
she tried nearly all the time. ]
think that mint certainly worry a
teacher, and I know that it bothers
the scholars.
Ihaveoften seen boys biiDg ir
wood and make up the firr; and af
ter they hsd made a warm fi e. sweej
in the tra^h the wood made. Om
time a girl wrote this on a blacl
board: "Fours name3 like monkey'
' - !.i:
faces are clten seen in puunupiacce,
and then wrote the teacher's nam
under it. At dinner time be rubbei
it out and wrote this on the black
board:
'You may go to school nil y ur life.
Y 'o miy wiite m quir- of paper,
You may use a bottie of ink,
But you can'i make you mind think
I know that T would not like t
rjive been tbat girl when she cam
in and 8hw tbat on tbe board.

well as the boys.
NEGATIVE
Boys are not superior to girls ir
school. We see this every day in our
little school here Boys are sluggish,
but when they get out on the play
| yard what a scuffla they have at the
2 door to see which can get out ana
| get-to playing first, while the girl?
are gentle and peacable, and are not
heard on play ground calling each
jj other by kick names as the boys do
|j Along the road home the boys often
j fight and quarrel and on the playn
ground also, but did you ever hear of
girls fighting aloDg the road or at
school? In the schoolroom boys are
more disobedient than girls. Onteacher
said: "It seems that the boys
rake a delight in doiDg wroDg, bur
)b, how bad it makes a girl feel wheD
J 'he does wrong." We have four
I classes in spelling and last Friday
the head scholar in every class was
I to get a reward card, and two girl*
j got cardj, and the reason why the>
! didn't get them in the two other
j classes was because there was no
girl in one and in the other the boy
ftbat got the card was a great deal
further advanced than most of his
classmates.
Once in a school prizes were to b
given to the two best spellers, ando
course two girls got the prizes.
The boys are generally the last ?<
> get in the schoolroom when it is tim
to come iD, and when the giils hap
t pen to be last, then just see how
i the boys grin. They think they have
i done something very wonderful to get
r I in once before the girls.

expelled frooi college, buf I don't imemberof
ever hearing of a girl he
iQg fipelled
If a rule i e made in school ni:>e
r
times out of ten a boy will be the
first to go contrary to that rule,
j i When the teacher is called from
the school room for a few minutes
( the boys do the most mischief, and
then as soon as the teacher is seeD i
coming back they pretend they are
( awfully busy.
Boys often use profane language,
smoke and chew tobacco at 6chool
while the girls are never teen or
I heard doog these things,
j So every way we look at it we see
( the boys are not superior to the girls
in school.

For where is fne man or corporation

that would build a bridge and keep it

Some people may allowtheir h< a b :o

not mine. Now, f a bridge ehould
bebuilr and k-pt up by the taxpayers, ^
I a-k in all candor bow could i': be

done so that the burdens of tixatiou ^

instance, I pay $10 or $12 a year
bridge toil and tax on $>i)0 worth of
property. Another m m in the same ..
district whose bridge toll is probably
not as much as mice and yet pay tax
on five times as much property, aDd ^
still others who live 20 mile9. away
and whose bridge toll is probably
two or three times as much as mine
would not have to piy any tax toward

ROUNDLAP PREMIUM $2.44 NET.
Thai's What Farmers Mads by Using
The Starkvilie Roundlap Press.
The Southern Farm Gazette, of
Starkvilie, Miss., published the fol
lowing about, a te?t made to show
the relative value of roundlap and
square bales: "The first day the
roundlap plant was operated was
Friday October 12. Tue great majority
of the cotton put up oo the
round bale press that day was sold
for 1ft .35 cents. Some of these sam
pies taken at random were carried to
W. W. Scales, one of the leading
cotton buyers of this section, who
was asked what its value was ia the
Bquare form. He said 9.50 would be
the best our market could pay. The
same samples were taken to Stern &
Goodmar, also large cotton buyers,
and they, believing it was square cotton,
made 9 50 as their best cffrr.
This showed a d fference of 85 points,
or about $1 *25 a bale. Toe next
day cotton was lower and the round
bale cotton brought 16 15 on an
average, while the same grades of
yquare cotton brought 9 375 or 77?
points d fference. We also weighed
the wrapping on the two kinds of
bales and found 14 pound* difference
In favor of square bale.
4 So, if a certain amouDt of cotton
mad .'into a round bale weighs 500
pounds the same amount iD a square
bale would weigh 514 pounds. Ttoe
SoO pounds round cotton at the
kverage price of the two davs, 10 25
;entn, would bring Sol.25 D^incfc
jioning SI 50, rental of press $1 < 0,
tad wrappmg 40 cenrp, and we have
i net price of S48 35 The 514
jounds f-quare cotton at its average.
14375 cents would briDg $48 51
Deduct ginning $1 50, price of bag
png and tie* Si 00 and weighing 10
ents, and we have net S45 91 for
he square cotton. This giv*-s a dif
ereoCe of S2 44 net in favor of >be
ouadl <p bale."

home and is well fix^d with

Tuesday we arrived in the growng
town of Cnapin. A goodly lu nber

tlra. Steele had a nice dinntr pre- |

Tuesday night, that, big hearted

: j CHINESE WILL WIN.
J. j The Quarrel Has Come to a Test of
Respective Forces.
t j London, December 1, 3:30 am ?
a Tbe Spectator in a striking article
0 dealing with the Chinese crisis, ex
i- : presses the opioion that tbe most re1
cent developments at Prkin fore1
shadow a Chinese victory over the
p allies. "Tbe quarrel has been
p brought to the test of force," it say-,
r "and force on tbe civilized side haa
- proved insufficient. This result is
1 mainly due to tbe attitude of Russia
r and the United States. If China
escapes with the payment of a small
j indemnity and many promises on
. j paper, as seem9 not unlikely, since
r ! Germany and Great Britian may not
r ba willing to iocur tbe i spenditure
, and rit-k involved in persisting in
> their demands, it will ba * quivalent
to a victory for Cnina. for nothing
. j has occurred which w;ll convince tbe
5 j Chinese that their mightv empress
, has been defeated or that Europe can
> avenge any future massacres.''

"Io fact, all our remonstrances

When Bathing Was Rare.
In some old court memoirs of the
plghteentb century which have recently
been called again to attention It Is
stated that when George IV was a
baby be was bathed only once a fortnight.
That was thought to be plenty
often enough in those days for a child
to be washed. When one of George's
little sisters had measles, the royal
mother gave most careful Instructions
that the child's linen was not to be
changed too soon, as she feared that
some careless attendant would clothe
It In garments insufficiently aired and
so "drive In the rash." In those days ,
people were much afraid of cleau llneu
and bathing. It was believed the complete
bodily ablutions wore weakening,
vet prince, peer and peasant alike called
in at every ailment the doctors of
the period, who bled them Into a 6tate
Df weakness and sometimes death.
