MI sigma Rho Mr., Powell was the third
speaker. and after few Introductory
sentences he broke down and left the
hall. The speaking went on and later
Mr. Powell reappeared and completed his
speech The other contestants thought
he wished merely to right himself IN the
Dyes of the audience and that he was no
longer In the contest. 5s e
when the medal was awarded to Mr..
Powell the announcement come with q
shock to the other contestants Meetings

tration could be rcnchsd, and the Mu
sigs finally took matters into their own
la,.ds. They will present to the faculty
too day a petition contestlng the decision

That such conduct on the part OF a
contestant dlsQualhes him to receive the
medal In the said contest, unless awarded
upon the merits of the Grafton delivered
before reslmlng his seat and before leav-
lsg the rostrum and hall after his first

awarded by tho judges to him, who in
ferred that he was to be considered as

thorities regulating the contest; and that
the other contestants. IN Whom such au-
thority was vested, did not agree to per-
nit min to again contest Secondly. that
all contestants drew lots TOT positions on
the programme, according to established
customs. and the said Powell having
drawn the third position on the pro-
eramme failed to I'll It further than to
deliyer portion OF his GRAFTON, and that
the contestant assigned to the fourth
place namely, Mr.. Gwaltney, had already
appeared, and delivered his Grafton before
the said Powell's return. And thirdly,
that to allow any contestant such a prtyi-
lega would ba a manifest Injustice to the

corded. 81

FIGURING MILL AND GRAIN ELEVATOR.
Gus E. Bruins Begins Work on the Building
This Week.

Laclede is to have new grain ele
vator, Touring and feed mill. 1t il
being built by Gus E. Bruins on his
farm at the north end Of town. The
building will be 30x60 feet, 8 stories,
and an engine room attached. Work
on the excavation was begun this week
and 100 perch of rock has been or
dered from Mooresville for the foun-
dation. All the building material
has been bought and will be placed
on the ground as soon as possible.
Work will be pushed and the mill
started at the earliest possible time.
The power will be furnished by a
forty horsepower engine, which was
shipped in and placed on the mill site
this week. All the machinery has
been contracted for and will be ship
ped as soon as the building is ready.
It is of modern make and the mill will
be complete and up-to-date in every
respect. The corn sheller and clean
ing machinery will be in the basement
and an elevator will distribute the
grain to different parts of the building.
The plans were drawn and the gen
eral supervision of construction is in
charge of Capt. J. L. Ong, who has
been in the milling business nearly all
his life, and when completed it will be |
operated by him. In addition to do
ing custom work Mr.. Bruins will buy |
and ship grain and wholesale all kinds
Of feed. He will also feed large
number of hogs and cattle on his own
farm.
This is certainly good thing for
Laclede and the surrounding country,
and we hope will prove a profitable
Investment for Mr.. Bruins.
