Affirmative-Clifton Brunson, Wil liam Brunson. Negative: Hattie Bil lups and Mary Esther McKnight. The judges after much consideration decided in favor the negative. The following is a copy of the de bates: Miss Valena 'McKnight, Teacher. First Affirmative by Clifton Brunson I think that man is greater than woman for a good many reasons: First, history is composed, almost entirely of the achievements of man, Big sensAmasva/sammatoinlssiemn sonW om,J An Edullcationlal an) Demnonstr'ation, Girls' Community and School MV~any other D~emonstr; Horse, Cattle, Mul try November' 17th an A h)ig time in Legi Miller Shows and MidlV mn.

Man has gone far into the universe tbove and planted everywhere im >ererishable monuments, as the con itant result of his daring and glorious mchievements. Taking the power and speed of iteam, he moves, the commerce of the vorld, seizing the lightening he has liscovered electricity which conveys nessages from land to land, and (oes >ther unheard of things. Man has discovered mystic inven ions which enables him to fly through :he air, with the speed of the birds. -is wonderful inventions and noble leeds have kindled the fire of advance nent, which mounting higher and' iigher, now burns with a brightness liat will illume ages. The spirit of man, at the beginning >f every progressive movement, and s emblazoned on every land mark of ivilization. Had it not been for man the coun ry we live in would not have been dis !overed, and but for his bravery and laring we would have been today, but the vassals of England. Such names as Washington, Jackson, Lincoln and Robert E. Lee, coupled with tlic of more recent (late such as Pershing, Foch, Diaz etc., will ever be rememb cred in our hearts with a feeling of pride, as irresistible 'as the onward flow of the tidal waves. When we think of all these wonder ful men and their noble deeds-I know we will all agree that man is indeed the greater. Clifton Brunson. First Negative by Hattie Billups Woman's life has mostly been kept in the shadow, as a maker of -the home and the keeper of the fireside. 11er greatest fame has hitherto been mightest as the instructor and encour ager, and patient help m.te of those whom she has struggled to plant with in their heart the principles and qualities, that are essential to achieve ment. 11cr life has been filled with raising and instructing the children of mankind and striving to plant within them, the seed that produce the genius, who accomplish the things that conduce to the world's advance ment; and that is surely the greater glory. The world cannot forget the mother of a famous mai, because it knows that she, is the reason of his being great. No one can so inspire a man to noble purposes as a noble woman. Andrew Jackson the warrior and pre sident, had his mightest reinforce ments in his plain wife, whose inar tistic attire, was the amusement of the elegant circles, in which she was invited. Washington, who broke the chain that held America in foreign vassalage; wore for forty years a chain around his neck, holding the miniature likeness of her, who had been his greatest inspiration, whether among the snoks of Valley Forge, or SSun d1 Cooperati ve Exp)ositionl of , Household, Fancy~ WNork, Canning and Tfomato Clubs, District Booth exhibits, Me aitionls of Eastern Caroline P: .e and Poultry S hows.

PREM) xid the 'hones of the ti :hair. The obportunity has not come to: woman as often as it has to man; stilP n- every field of endeavor in which she daas particippted, she has -been as aui'siis as man. Betsy Ross made the first flag of America, General Washington and his men cut six points to the stars, Betsy Ross had to show them their mistake, ihe cut five points instead of six for the stars. Poccahontas warned the early settlers that the Indians were ,oing to raid on them, preventing, per laps, the complete extinguishation of the first permanent English colony in America. She also saved their lead Dr's life, Captain John Smith. It seems to me that woman has done more for God and humanity in every way, than has man. Compare man's dlemise with that of women, such as Harriet -Newell rendering a life time sacrifice for the redemption of her country. Joan of Arc leading her country to victory. Florence Night ingale the first war nurse and Queen Elizabeth who ranked among the shrewdest and important rulers in English history. The growth of Great Britain into a world power is due largely to the wisdom she exercised during her reign. Hattie Billups. I think a man is greater than a wo man in every respect. From the be ginning, God made man first, and he has been first and foremost ever since. Go back to the beginning of history, and see what man has done for the world, and note how few women are mentioned in the pages of history. Our beautiful country, would still be called the Sea of Darkness, had Columbus not discovered it. We would still have the primitive idea, that the earth was flat, and be afraid to ven ture too far to the edge, for fear we might'fall off, had it not been for the perseverence of man, that proved the earth was round. Look, at the men, that have fought nnid fell on the bloody battlefields, de fending our rights and liberties and has kept our flag to this (lay, pure and sacred, an emblem of right and justice. All of our rulers, presidents. law makers etc., are men. From George Washington, who is callod the father of our country, down to our modern heroes and great men. All of our explorers and inventors are men. Consider the inventions that are indispensible to our every (lay life our cars, machinery of every descrip tion, telephones, telegraphs, and all valuable inventions were discovered by man. Man has indeed conquered the realms of the universe. He now travels by ways that civilization has never dreamed of before, he now pilots his plane through the misty air, and plows his ships through the dark sea. Our greatest writers, poets etc., were men. Daniel Webster who gave us the wonderful dictionary, William Shakespeare the greatest play writer the world has ever producem', and Mil ton the wonderful blind poet. Man has succeeded in every realm of industry and enterprise, since the (Continued on page 7) -ATTEN t er Ui LT SUM'I hgricultural, Manufactur Floral Displays, Home Boys' Pig and Corn Clubs, rcantile, Fine Arts, and 'ogressiveness.
