classic, of the South's young orators

the recitals with which he supple
mented it, was a feast of wit and !
humor that kept his audience in
one continuous state of delight and
that won for him many ger erous
rounds Of applause. No more pleas
ing and irresistible speaker can be
found in the Southland. He is in
deed Past Grand Master of wit,
humor and eloquence-a worthy |
scion Of distinguished family.
