second place, be;i:g beaten as the tab
ulated marks will show by just one
poin:. The speches this year were
away and above th*- average, there
mot being a single poor one in all nine
of them, which is not usually the case
and not a single speaker "fell down."
The Rev. Dr. Jones in a verp happy
manner presented the medals to the
winners, and spoke of the difficulty
with which the decision as to the win
ners was reached. This fact is sub
stantiated by the fact that the judges

ion was reached.
The averages were as follows, com
po3ition being marked on a basis of
40 points and delivery 60 points: Cita
del, 52, 32 1-9, 84 1-9; Carolina, 51,

The following were the judges se

position being college professors out
side the State: The Rev. T. W. Sloan,
D. D., of Gi-eenville; .the Rev. Howard
Lee Jones, D. D. of Charleston, and
the Hon. C. C. Featherstone, of Green
wood.
From Newberry College.
Mr. Charles Pascal Barre, repre
senting Newberry college, spoke on
the su'bject of "The Employers' Lia
bility."
Mr. Barre's speech is a plea for an
employers' liability law. After indi
cating the wonderful industrial ad
vance of our nation he shows that this
advance has been accomplished at the
frightful expense of the lives, limbs
-and health of the laboring men. Ex
-cessively long hours and the neglect
etf sanitary precautions have played
-bavoc with the health of American
workingmen. The lack of safety ap
pliances has resulted in an alariming
number of disasters in mines and fac
tories, as well .as on the railroads.
The respon.sibility for this deploraible
state of affairs rests upon the employ
ers, or proprietors, who, in their
greed, have refused, or neglected, to
safeguard the lives and health of their
operatives.
The workingmen are demanding re
lief from the "inhumanity of thes pres
ent industrial conditions," and justly
so. The employers, for the most part.
turn a deaf ear to their plea. T.here
fore it will be necessary for the na
tional government to pass an employ
ers' liabil-ity law, so as to force the
mill. mine and railroad owners to re
spect the rights of the laboring men
to protection of health and life. In
almost all the European countries,
notably in England and Germany,
snieh a law is in successful operation.
We, as a nation, owe it to our iabor
ing classes to see that they are amply
protected front sickness, injuries a-nd
loss of life.
