PURIFYING A ROOMS AIR.

The air of a room may be purifi-

the purpose of purifying the air the

TIE DEBATE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The debate at
Lumberton, Saturday night, be-
tween the societies of Purvis and
Poplarvllle was very interesting,
and the attendance was large. Quite
a nun Der of friends and members
of both societies accompanied the
young debatants. "to hear the noise
and see the fight"
The discussion was opened by
that popular young orator from
Purvis, Mr.. w. +. Bond, who en-,
tertalned the audience very success.
fully for about 30 minutes with a
pointed and eloquent speech in fa-
vor of the affirmative, Mr.. Tbeo.
G. Bilbo, Of Poplarville, was then
introduced by the chairman, Rey.
w. Ii. Huntley, and after making a
few "preiminary" remarks, cars
ried his listeners back to the morn
Ing of creations traced the princi-
Piles and truths of human liberty
as laid down in the code of laws by
the Divine Creator. Mr.. Bllbo held
the audience spell.bound for about
an hour by lis persuasive eloquence
in opposition to the Educational
test" and in conclusion made
pathetic appeal for the cause of
suffering humanity and invoking
eternal hostility to the forces that
threaten our liberties, closing with
these words; "Then conquer we
must, our cause it is just.o And
this be our motto: Gin God is our
trust. And
THE star spangled in triumph shall
wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home of the brave"
In short, his speech was splen-
did piece of oratory, showing that
he is little but loud"
Mf. N. E. Gross then took the
floor in favor of the affirmative,
and produced an able argument in
favor of protecting Am erican labor
by restricting immigration. Mr..
Cross is a graceful, dignifed, and
fluent speaker, and we predict for
HIM bright and useful career in
the future.
Last but not least, was Mr.. FL.
K. Rouse, who took the speakers
stand amid the applause of host
OF friends who were eager to hear
the "Boy Superintendent" strike
his "cords." After referring very
touching ly and eloquently to his
school days in Lumberton, he en-
tered into the discussion of the
question with all the vim and elo-
quence of Seargent S. Prentiss.
He very successfully, entertained
his hearers about 40 minutes, and
produced a line of argument that
the affirmative dared not assail.
Being impressed with Mr.. Rouse's
manner of delivery, flow of beauti-
full language. and soundness of
thought, we predict that we shall
hear from him again in the not dis
tant future.
AT the close Of the debate, the
committee rendered a decision in
favor of the negative, represented
by Messrs. Rouse and Bilbo. We
are very glad indeed to have our
young friends entertain us in this
manner. and hope they will repeat
it in the near future; and we would
say to our young friends who were
SO unfortunate as to come out with
''defeat' written across their fore.
heads, shrink not, but stand firm;
you made noble fight.
