Red The Columbia State of Saturday contained the following very flatter ing reference to a rising Gaffney boy whoso prospects for the future are exceptionally bright: “In one of the’ best contests that has been held at the University of South Carolina in recent years Roy Webster of Gaffney won the Roddey medal contest last night in the uni versity chapel. The contest was spirited throughout and all the debat ers entered into the argument with vim and force. The judges declared after the contest that they had had a hard time to decide the winner and had resolved themselves into a de bating society. “Roy Webster, the winner of the handsome medal offered annually by Mayor John T. Roddey, of Rick Hill, is a member of the Euphradian so ciety and is in the junior law class of the university. “He is a graduate of Wofford Col lege, ’OG, and took his A. M- degree at that institution in the following year. Webster was a member of the Preston Literary socity while at Wof ford and his work can he shown from the following; Represented Wofford College at the centennial celebration of the Clariosophic and Euphradian societies in 1906. In the same year he represented his institution again at the State oratorical contest. He was victorious in the year ’00 when h ; won a handsome medal by defeat ing Furman university in a contest held at Wofford. Since he has been a member of the Euphradian society for the past four months he has done ex cellent work. “Mr. Webster's debate last night was well written and he delivered it in a clea r and forceful manner. He brought forth the points for the affirm ative side of the query in logical or der and attracted the attention of the audience from the first of his speech to the last. He won over deserving opponents all being well prepared sind having arguments to support their side. “The programme for the evening was as follows: “Welcome by the presiding officer, W. M- James, ’0G (Euphradian.) “Query: ‘Resolved, That the United States reliquisb all possesion of the Philippines, except as a coaling sta tion.’ “Debaters—Roy Webster, law, ’09 (Euphradian), affirmative; M.

Stack- house, Hon. G. Duncan Bellinger and Hon. F. H. Hyatt. “In supporting the affirmative side of the query ag to whether the United States should relinquish all posses sion of the Philippines, except as a coaling station, or not, Mr. Webster pointed out the fact that there should he no government without consent of those being s 0 governed. Other points advanced by him were as follows: That in holding the Islands there was taxation without representation; that the dispersion of the territory of the United States would cause trouble in time of war; that the cost of main taining the islandg did not pay the government; that it was antagonistic to the princtpleg of free government; against the Monroe doctrine and that the Philippines were able to govern themselves. “Some of the arguments advanced bv the first speaker on the negative, M. S. Whaley, are as follows: That the islands have been benefited by the American rule in that our lan guage, American capital and other notes of progress have found their way into the islands within the past few years; that, since the Philippines are the trade centre of the Pacific the United States should retain posses sion; that If she does not Japan will step in; that owing to the amount al ready spent on the islands theylhouid he retained in order to pay fo^them- S61V6S.

JOHNSON JOINED LIQUOR FIGHT, SOUTH CAROLINA BAPTIST IN LINE. Hon. jos. t* Johnson Introduces Bill at Their Suggestion. Liquor Traffic Critisized. Washington. Jan. 13—Congress man Jos. T. Johnson, who early In the present session. Introduced * two hills in Congress aimed at the sup pression of the liquor traffic and the passage of which will hasten the time of temperance and prohibition, has re ceived the following letters; Hon. Jos. T. Johnson, House of Representatives. We, the undersigned, having been appointed by the recent State Baptist Convention of South Carolina to pre sent tiie accompanying memorial to Congress, beg leave to call your at tention to the same, and we most res pectfully solicit your active co-opera tion in producing the enactment of ? -.rh national legislation as the me morial indicates. (Signed) Chas. A. Smith. Jno. A. Brunson. C. E. Burts, Simon Hyde, !. A. Mitchell. W. C. Llndsav. R. N. Pratt, L. J. Bristow. Following i s the memorial: The sentiment of the people of the United States against the sale and use of alcoholic beverage is rapidly gaining strong}h. Six States have al ready enacted general prohibition laws'. Eightefn others are orohibition in part, and in others theie are mn’r r- few saloons. In fact, one-half of the territory of the United States is either under prohibition or local op tion. In 1870 the number of people in “dry” territory was onlv 3,500.000. In 1907 the number is 33.000.000. al most a ten-fold increase in thirty- seven years. The governors of several States have recently spoken uneqivocally and strongly ’In con demnation of the liquor traffic, and congressmen, lawyers, editors, physi cians. teachers and business men. as well as preachers and a host of de voted women, are giving their moral and active support to the cause of temperance and sobriety. But the friends of prohibition are greatly embarrassed in their move ments and often defeated in their ef forts by federal interference. This interference is t#o-fold: 1st. United States revenue officers are allowed to iSMie licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages in these States where the sale of such beverages is forbidden by law. thereby practically defeating the will of the majority of the peo ple living in those States. 2nd. Con gress, unde r the Interstate Commerce law. allows the manufacturers and dealers in alcoholic liquors, who live in States where the manufacture and sale of such liquors are lawful, to ship them into prohibition territory. This is an unjust and therefore un wise discrimination. It compels a State under prohibition law to grant to people who live beyond its borders rights and privileges which it denies to its own citizens. Moreover, such a law ignors one of the fundamental principles of our Republic, viz: the right of local self-government, and therefore is thoroughly repugnant to the spirit of Democracy. In view of these facts, we. the Bap tist people of South Carolina, assembl ed in annual convention In the city of Orangeburg, December 6 to 9. 1907, do hereby earnestly and respectfully request and ’irgo the Congress now In session to give us relief from the aforesaid grievance by appropriate and adequate legislation. The bills introduced by Congress man Johnson cover exactly the ground pointed out by the memorial, and he hag written the committee, assuring the m of his heaXty support and God speed in thelrs^fgPrts for the uplifting and bettering oTj ’^kind. Senator Tillman will deliver an ad dress at a mass meeting under the auspices of the Federation of Chris tian and Temperance forces of the District of Columbia Tuesday evening. This meeting will be held in the First Congressional church of Washington. Senator Clay,, of Georgia, the State that recently “cut the booze out,” will preside. The invitation to Senator Tillman to speak waa extended by a large number of leading business men and representative people of the city. Washington is well aroused on the liquor question and the sober element of the District Is determined to wage a determined fight for closing u£ the saloons before the present Congress. Yesterday morning’s Post, In noting the fact that Senator Tillman was to make the address, quoted the Palmet to Senator as saying; “I am a pro hibitionist.”* This occasioned a num ber of hig friends to exchange pleas antries and guy Senator Tillman in and about hit committee room yester day. He accepted the little passes with fine spirit; but took occasion to say emphatically that he wag a tem perance man, not “prohibitionist,” but he always favored the kind of prohi bition that prohibited; and it was the kind he was trying to make into law now.
