VUl OWIII'V* whole seems to take a great interest in the war situation. The eleventh grade, having just studied argument in composition, prepared a very interesting debate in class work. The query was: "Resolved, That the United States should spend at least one year in preparation before entering into war with Germany." The class of ten was equally divided and the debate was thoroughly discussed on both sides. Our English teacher, Miss Jackson, made the decision in favor of the affirmative. This being a question of such vital importance,as well as suitable to the occasion, some of the patrons, after hearing how well it was discussed, requested that the debate be repeated at a meeting of the Francis Marion literaay society held last Friday night: All the papers were handed in to Miss Jackson, from which she selected two of the best from each side, viz: Affirmative, Barnie Williams, FliiPont RViom1 norrqtivp Mllrtip Owens, Clifford Eaddy. The re9t of the papers were turned over to the four selected. At the date appointed, the society was called to order by Llewellyn Pope, president pro tern. The audience was led in prayer by Rev P A Murray, after which the following programme was rendered: Song, "Hats of other days." by six young ladies. Male quartette?"Don't bite the hand that's feeding you." Debate?"Kesolved, That the United States should spend at least one year before entering into war with Germany," The judges were: Mrs L B Johnson. Hon B B Chandler, chairman of the board of trustees, and Prof E V Yates. After the judges had retired for their decision, beautiful instrumental duets were rendered by Misses Bush and Haddock, Prof Yates announced the decision of the judges in favor of the negative. The remaining members of the class who had hitherto upheld the negative seemed as if they would go wild over their victory. The song, "Wake Up, America,"was sung by the sixth and seventh grade girls.and "Dixie" and "America" by the aud'ence, after -which delicious refreshments 1 *ere serveu. We are trying to organize a company of men and boys for home protection in case the Germans should attack us, finding us unprepared. It seems rather difficult to get some men of the community interested in this work. We are capable of furnishing twenty or twenty-five school boys, who seem to be very much interested. We spend a while each day drilling. So far,under the leadership of Profs 0 M Mitchell and E V Yates, we have learned a few commands. We are glad to say that we have offered to us any assistance that can be rendered by Prof Yates, who is a recent graduate of a military college and well trained. We hcpe to put in good time while he is with us, because we understand that his intention is to go to the front if war is declared.
