There is no doubt but the Carolinian

of all good news.

The Calleopean Society, at the last meet
ing, elected Mr.. Thos. P. Cothran, of
Greenville, son of Judge Cothran, to de-
liver the annual Grafton on the 2nd Of
June. By the way, the last meeting of
this society was one of unusual interest.
The subject for discussion was "Should
the United States intervene and recognize
the independence of Cuba?" The sffir-
native was ably represented by Mr.. Man
gum, who was most gracefully sustained
BY Miss Lizzie Harper, a lovely young
lady, whose grace and sweetness of charec-
ter added greatly to the force of the argu-
ments. Mr.. Charles Harper sustained the
negative we'll, with very strong and i'm.
pressive arguments. This young man has
great promise ahead, and will come to the
front and be we'll known for his natural
ability some day. Judge L. w. Carey
declared the decision in favor Of the atllr-
native. The next subject for debate is,
"Are the European nations apprehensible
in not sustaining Greece against Turkey ?"
Much interest is taken in this society, and
1t is certain to be an Institution among the
young people of Seneca.
