After which he introdnced the first

His subject was "The Hero of

4
Messrs. Geo. W. Harman and W. H.
Cabaniss of the Excelsior society.
The negatives were Messrs. P. A.

was well disco seed on both sides,
but the judges after mnch consideration
decided in favor of the Affirmative.
Next came the Excelsior orator,
Mr. I. E. Long, whose subject was
"Coronation Without a Crown." As
the old saying goes "the best comes
last." This was the Philomathian
essayist, Miss Mary Lesser. Her subject
was "Southern Ideals." She
handled the subject well and deliver?'
ed it in a most natural and charming
way. The audience was very quiet,

being the Bong of Solomon it is the
book of Esther.
I hadn't read the bible until that
