MORGAN VS.. LANHAM.

In this issue will be found an able
and interesting article from the pen
Of DR.. William Morgan, of Balti-
more, on vaccination. The Doctor
takes strong grounds against il as
not only useless but dangerous and
he backs up his statements with
proof and data from the highest
authority.
Last week we published an article
from DIR. T. i. Lanham, Of Grafton,
Member of the State Board Of
Health, in which he attempted to
reply to former article of DIR.
Morgan's, published in this paper
about a month ago. After reading
DR.. Lanham's article two or three
times, we still failed TO discover
anything new in il. The substance
of ii is to get vaccinated and keep
clean; take frequent baths and
always put on clean underclothing.
On this platform We are right with
DR.. Lanham, except as to the vac
cination. We not only have no
faith in it, but believe with DIR.
Morgan that it is not only useless
and more dangerous than the small
pox but really ought not be allowed
at all. However we want the SUBJ
ject fully ventilated and as much
information as possible on both
sides of the question and then allow
every one to decide for themselves.
a few years ago the physicians in
Wheeling had big controversy in
the papers on this subject and some
of the more advanced of them
opposed it as they do in other
places, but DR.. Lanham seems to
know nothing of this and only ex-
poses his ignorance when he declares
that not an intelligent physician in
the world doubts the efficacy of vac
cination. The Doctor should read
the papers even if he don't read up
otherwise on such subjects. The
article in this issue from DR.. Nor
gan was written and mailed to us
last Saturday, Immediately upon
receipt of THE ARGUS containing
DIR. Lanham's article and without
taking two weeks to prepare it, but
still it is a very good answer and
will be hard to reply to.

One of the most delightful entertain ments of the %ast week was the after noon reception given by the Guild of Christian Service of St. Johns Epis- copal Church in compliment to Bishop and Mrs. Barnwell and the delegates to the Council, to which the members of the Episcopal parishes Of the city were invited.
 This lovely function was given at the home of MT. and Mrs. Louis Farley on Friday afternoon from to o'clock. Bishop and Mrs. Barnwell with MT. and Mrs. Farley stood in the drawing room to welcome and present the call CTS. Mrs. Barnwell was exquisitely gowned in white organdie and lace over taffeta, and wore a picture hat to match. Mrs. Farley's gown was of black organdie dnd cream lace.
 The four apartments given to this function were thronged during the hours with callers who enjoyed the pleasure of receiving such wholesome hospitality.

A LOVELY OUTDOOR
 CARD PARTY CLUB.

The Saturday Card Club and num- Der of other guests were entertained by Mrs. Jack Thorington and Miss Frances Patteson at the home of their mother. Mrs. Margaret Patteson at Cloverdale on Saturday afternoon. The card tables were placed under the shade of the tall trees surrounding the beautiful old time mansion. It was like a scene from some fairy play, a modern midsummer nights dream.
 Some dozen tables Of SIX hanoeo euchre made a gay show grouped in clusters under the cool green shade. This green background threw into bright relief the soft jewelled tints of the dresses and while the games were in full swing the graceful intent figures might have been sitting for a tableau of fair women. Then the tinkle or the bell would be heard and the groups dissolve as in a kaleidoscope to re- form with the precision of stage scene to the music of light laughter ana chatter. No prettier view of

sociations, which cling about the old home. The rooms in which we have lived and loved and suffered are not without their sacred memories; they necessarily become a part Of our sup seouent lives. Think of those old children, who grew up to be grand fathers and grandmothers. who never knew any other than the old nome stead What wealth of meaning th y can give to that word home. lhey wrote songs about it, and said were 1t ever so humble, there was no place like home. They knew what it was to sit in a room, every corner of whlcn took them back to babyhood; where every hall. every turn of the stalrciSe and every dark cupboard had meInor' of childhood'S adventures; or htt'e ira gedies. which tlme mad tu-hed Int comedies. And there are the rooms where death had been and where lle began; the fresh and pleasant cham. be. S, with flowers at the easements anu the spring wind blowing in, that were forever sacred to some long illness which spread quiet through the house that was like Sunday.
 It takes a long tine to find another that can take the place of this old home We know the old place by heart. It may have had faults, but We have so long ago become reconcI'eu to thems, that they are no more than the ble,h4shes on the hanG of friend. It is difficult. too, to leave this oit home. for new one, without feeling in some way that the continuity of life has been broken.
 In this world where fond ties arc daily sundered: where death relsnS supreme over our loves ana trlend- ships: ovel, our dreams ana ambitions; over our hopes and fears: where We are stung by the irgratitude ot friends cE the tongues of islander; where our best thoughts are crushed by the pressure of life's burdens-there is no haven O. retreat so comforting as among the memories which cluster about the old home.

WORDS AND FLOWERS. If words could turn to flowers From sunny garden plots. Then would I cheer your hours With fair forget-me-nots. If words could grow like flowers, And shed their perfumes sweet, Then would throw in showers Fresh roses at your feet. If words could soothe like flowers, And burgeon as they please, I'd build for you rare bowers Of pansies and hearts-ease. If words could woo like flowers, Undimmed with doubt or fear Blessed by the vernal powers, Then I would win you. dear!

MAY HOLD MASS-MEETING.
Student Body ut Richmond College
Sides With "IInxers'-

1t is a spirit of unrest that prevades the
atmosphere OF Richmond College. and ru-
mors of various kinds rife. There is
one, however, that has caught the student
body and the mass-meeting to ask for the
re-installment of the one expelled and the
suspended students will, in all probability.
be held at distant date.
The concensus OF opinion is that the
punishment meted out to the offenders
is TOO great for the offense, and the
faculty WILL it is said be asked to miti-
gate tha punishment. From all the evi-
dence. so far submitted. no one was hurt
and it was not intended that any one
should be hurt The "hazed." fVen all
accounts aided the ''hazers'' in their
sport and nIl was taken in good nature.
y meeting Of the faculty was held yes
terday afternoon, and the ":azing' was
the principal subject for consideration.
President Boatwright was seen last night,
but refused to discuss the matter, and
would only say that the school nuthori-
ties are determined to break up ''hazing''
at Richmond College
