Spencer, Jan. 16.-The Holy Rosary
c. T. A Society held their regular bust
ness meeting and social, at their rooms,
on Mechanic street, tonight, and trans
acted considerable business. A debate
was held on the question, SHOULD capt.
tai punishment be abolished?" The af-
frmative was upheld by Martin OCon-
nor and Henry Fl. Lee, and Bernard A.
Cassidy and Eric Richards opposed
them.
The question of forming a roll of
honor to include any person in town
or out of town who has taken sufficient
interests in the society to assist them
in material way was brought up by
President T. u Condor. A committee
was appointed to consider the matter
and to decide if, in their opinion, there
were circumstances sufficient to favor
the plan.
President Condor heartily endorsed
the idea AS told The Spy man today,
several gentlemen have assisted the
society in the past and they have re-
ceived no adequate recognition of
their generosity. This idea was not
son, but to sufficiently honor any who
should assist the society. The roll of
honor if adopted, will be placed in a
conspicuous place at our headquarters
and will honor all who have thought
enough of the organization to donate
a stipulated sum"
