The Oratorical Contest.


On last Friday evening occurred
the annual contest of Shepherd Col
lege students in grafton, preliminary
to the Intentional contest, which
occurs this year at Charleston, on
the 9th of February. The program
contained names of FIVE contestants:
J. II. McGarry, E. H. Barnhart, R.
n. Duke, H. C. Miller and D. E. Nc
Quilkin. Mr.. McGarry, however,
was in the clutches of the prevailing
grip and so unable to be present.
First honor was won by Mr.. Miller,
while for second there was tie be-
tween Messrs. Duke and Barnhart.
The points taken into consideration in
the decision were memory, stage pres
ence, gesture, voice and thought, the
latter having been previously Judged
from the manuscripts. The judges,
Mr.. Smith, of Charlestown, and Messrs.
Kuntz and Zimmerman, of Hagers-
town, spoke highly of the exercises as
a whole. The excellent music, con-
sisting of selections by the Orchestra
and Glee Club, and a vocal solo by
Miss Lutte Allstadt, contributed large
ly, as it always does, to the pleasure
of the evening. The only unpleas-
ant feature Of the occasion was the
small audience, due in the main to
the inclement weather and the pre-
valence Of sickness throughout the
community. This of necessity lessened
in some degree both enthusiasm and
receipts, the latter very important
element, since provision must be made
for the victor's expenses when herep-
resents our school and community at
Charleston. The audience, however,
though small, was representative and
appreciative, and the order almost
perfect.
No one interested in the progress
of our community could fail to be i'm
pressed, as he listened to these ora
tons, with a sense of what this school
of ours is doing for our boys and girls.
Every one of the orations was clear,
sensible, logical, earnest. Some crudi-
ties in thought and expression might,
perhaps, have been detected by those
disposed to fault-fnding, but the gen
eral excellence, we are constrained to
believe, was above that of the aver
age productions of students of like age
and experience. Each speaker showed
a marked individuality in thought,
expression and delivery. Mr.. Mil
Ier's style was graceful, Mr.. Dukes
intense, Mr.. Barnhart's optimistic,
Mr.. McQuilkin's logical and deliber-
ate; all were characterized by an
earnestness which was one of the most
pleasing features. 1t was impossible
to escape the belief that each had the
courage of his conviction, and would
endeavor to embody in his own char
acter and conduct the principles he
so fearlessly advocated. 1t is mani
fest that Shepherd College is teaching
our young people not simply to mem
orize, but to think, and to think clear
ly and intelligently.
An institution whose connection
with the best interests of our COM
munity is so vital, surely deserves our
hearty support and cooperation. 1t
is certainly to be hoped that our Leg
islature, in its present session, will
look carefully after the need Of our
normal schools; for the one in this end
of the State, we are sure, is training
our youth in the line of good and in
telligent citizenship.

Portugal at War
With Dusky Africa

There was a very lively fight be-
tween two bell boys at the Hawaiian
hotel last night just after the most ex-
cellent concert by the band. II seems
that there has been bad blood between
the boys OF the hotel for some time past
and the event Of last night was the eli
max. 1t might be stated, in starting
out, that there are Americans, Por-
tuguese, Chinese and colored boys in
the gang. This may account for the
unpleasantness.
The first known OF the fight was a
crash, that brought men on the lanais
to their feet in jiffy. The noise came
from the writing room just to the
right Of the entrance. A rush for the
place was made but the fight was all
over, the contestants having been sep
arated by an elderly gentleman
However, 1t was learned from an eye
witness that the Portuguese and negro
had few warm words. The latter
picked up IN INN Dbtt' anu iNt ny ~
the negro. The bottle went to the
mark, leaving cut on one Of the
cheeks OF the negro, and then, glancine
of, went into the hall. The carpet
and walls were naturally a sight.
The negro did not stop to feel OF his
wound but ran for his assailant and go'
In a number of good blows about the
face so that there was red mixed with
the black on the walls.
Sheriff Brown, who happened to b'
on one of the lanais at the time, smok
ing away comfortably, lost his cigar II
the excitement and, rushing to thu
scene of carnage, walked the negro GU
on the back lanai for spell of coole
weather. The Portuguese, although
second best in the encounter, wanted Il
whip anybody of his size or under hi
size, about the place.

BOOKS AND WRITERS

Robert Grant at this late day is not
writing to achieve a reputation but
rather to delight his public. While
there is q measure of truth in the criti-
cism that Henry James goes on too
much abroad" and w. d. Howells not |
withstanding his truly artistic touch
bids fair to become irretrievably en-
tangled in his own realism, the public
of Robert Grant definitely looks to him
for the expression of the American
spirit which he has enchanted most
happily in such books as the Art Of
Living" "Search-Light Letters" etc.
In "Unleavened Bread" we have an
life which is certainly courageous in
this day Of the reign Of James Mere
dith's and other so-called historical
novels. The work is clever and good
but the new woman supposedly is so
unlovely, that one would perforce have
to rerounce allegiance to his country
women should he accept her as type
Of the modern American young wo-
man.
We hear on all sides nowadays, that
American women are selfish. In the
same cable, for these verdicts come
from abroad, we learn that she is either
beautiful, handsome, or possessed OF
that subtle, mysterious, elusive quality
which we call charm. But charm Is
based upon brains and knowledge. Like
culture It is in some way the flower OF
knowledge.
Mr. Grant set about the evolution of
Selma then with the public verdict
fresh upon him, and has given us in
three hooks which he calls The Eman-
cipation, The Struggle, The Success
the career of beautiful young woman
gifted with the expression of a seraph
who has not knowledge, culture nor
charm, but has instead the shrewd cal
culation OF Western politician, who Is
one perpetual pose, and who Is at heart
horrid creature. Should we call a
man animated by purely selfish motives
for his own advancement, which he is
clever enough to execute despicably.
Yes. II he traded upon the affections
and regard of those who believed In
him! 1t is absolutely essential that a
human being should be loyal to some
principle. some one. Poor Selma Is
loyal to only one idea and this is her
career, and she is too ignorant to have
q career.
Nevertheless she steps along upward
as she fondly imagines until as the
wife of a United States Senator, her
third husband, she feels that she has
achieved her atmosphere and Is now
somebody
There are other characters; Mrs
n Hallet Taylor whom we all know ant

We know also, and at whose frank vul

The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1901-05-04

Last Monday afternoon ripple
of excitment was caused here by
the exhibition of a sample of oil at
Messrs Laughlin,s store, brought
i'm from Mr. OZeme Segura,s place
above the twin oaks, on the ST.
Martinsville road. There is low
place in the back of his field, near
the lake marsh. On the surface of
the water, in a ditch which drains
this section, was discovered the
oil. 1t is so clear that the eye
would fail to detect it. 1t was first
discovered by one of the men on
the place who washed his hands
ID this ditch, after which he
noticed that his hands were
oily and em tied a strong odor of
petroleum. this lead to an i'll
vestigation and the skimming of the
sample off the water. The indica-
tions are that it is very fine
| grade of oil if one may judge as
much fromlts cleaness and positive
odor. Mr.. Walter j. Burke holds
an option Of this tract of land.

Last Sunday afternoon the writer
accepted the invitation OF Mr..

ride to Lack Chicot, where there Is
evidences of oil. 1t is in st. Mar
tins parish, just north or Iberia.
We saw a long shallow slough, III
which were number of overturn-
ed trees. These trees had fallen
to every point of the compass.
1t is reported that some few
years ago fire was set to the dfy
grasses them growing on the lake
bottom. The grass was quick J
| consumed, but the fires did not &C
! out. A considerable area of tht
bed of the dry lake seemed to b'
i on fire, below the surface Of tll'
ground. For several weeks th'
burning district emitted grea
volumes OF light colored smoke
1 and this continued till a heavy rail
fell, filing the low lands wit
