the history of Rome.
Again this government has not been
asked to annex Panama. In the third
place the results would be detrimental
to a large part of our country, the
West, in that it would destroy the
profits and earnings of the transcon-
tinental railways.
Mr.. r. L. Cooper, the other speak
err for the negative, took the position
that the Panama canal was not neces-
sary. The Nicaragua route is open
and it is furthermore the NOSE feast
BILE. 1t is the more direct and offers
less real difficulties. Lastly the an
nexation of the new state, and the
recognition of the right of secession is
contrary TO the policy of this govern
ment.
The Hon. w. B. Stubs, judge of the
debate, gave his decision in favor of
the negative. In making the decision
he announced that. though the argu-
ments of the affirmative had been more
logical. and their side better sustained,
yet they had failed to sustain the bur-
den of proof, which rested upon them,
and had not established their ground
beyond a reasonable doubt. The de-
cision was generously applauded by the
audience.
Among the other features of the pro-
gramme was the essay by Mr.. Elwood
Heman on Lord Macauley." The great
English writer, essayist, poet and his
torian was ably presented, and a just
estimate put upon his place in history.
Many beautiful figures of speech
adorned the essay and the applause
which followed it's conclusion was we'll
merited.
Mr.. John S. Banks rendered a beau
tiful solo. The accompaniment was
furnished by Mr.. Fred c. Mcmillan.
The programme closed with a selec-
ton by Miss Teasdale's Mandolin Club.
The rendition was particularly excel
lent, and the audience applauded until
the club responded with two encores.
There are thirteen members in the club,
and all acquitted themselves with
credit, both to their own musical abil-
ity and to their instructor.

Savannah is to be represented at the

lumber and the by-products of the
pine, and the other by the various ar
ticles manufactured from cotton seed.
The first will be sent by the Board
of Trade and the second by the South
ern Cotton Oil Company.
1t was stated in the Morning News
some weeks ago that it was planned
to have an exhibit of the naval stores
industry prepared by the Board of
Trade. These plans are now com
pleted even as to the amount of space
that will be given at the exposition.
Mr.. John r. Young, chairman of the
committee having the matter in charge,
stated yesterday that he had been
promised a space of 20x21 feet, in the
department of forestry, agricultural
building, and that he will begin at
once to get the articles of the exhibit
together, assembling them as fast as
possible in the rear of the Board of

DEBATE ON PANAMA
AT Y. NJ. G. A. WON BY THE OP-
PONENTS OF ANNEXATION.
POLICY OF UNITED STATES
HAS ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST SUCH
ACTION, AND ARGUED 1T
SHOULD BE MAINTAINED.

Necessary in Development of

Panama, and for the Commercial
interests of the WOrld-Must An

MacauIay a Feature of the Pro-
Gramme-SOIO by MIR. Banks-MisE
TeasdnIe's Mandolin Club Rem
dered Selections.
The hall Of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association was filed to over
flowing last night with the audience
which turned out to listen to the pro-
gramme by the Literary Club. The
feature was the debate on the ques-
ton, Resolved, That the United States
should annex the recently seeded state
of Panama, build the isthmian canal,
and defend it,"
The affirmative side was upheld by
Prof T. H. Gignilliat and Mr.. Simon
Gazan. Prof. Gignilliat began his ar
gument by calling attention to the fact
that Russia is the only great world
power to-day with a great world pol
icy. The United States must adopt
a world policy, he said, and work for
the uplifting of the entire universe
as Russia is struggling for it's domina-
ton.
The United States must control the
isthmian canal AS for the right to
secede from Colombia, Panama had
more right in that direction than did
the Southern states or the thirteen
colonies. We can annex Panama on
the plea of her own good-the better
ment of the world-and in order to
clearly define our rights to govern and
control the canal and the uses to
which It might be put.
Mr.. Gazan began his argument by
briefly reciting a history of the 18TH
milan canal since it was first pro-
jected. Many routes have been tried
and that of Panama is the most feas-
ible. The Nicaragua route has been
abandoned. There should be no hest
tation on our part, as Colombia has
gone back on her promise.
AS for annexation, such course
would be best for Panama, and the
interests of the world, commercially
and morally. The benefits which we
brought to Cuba were cited as an eX-
ample, of what we would do for Pan
anna Annexation and domination
would mean the betterment of Pan
anna governmentally, financially, and
in sanitary lines. We have the right
by the recognized principle of emf
nent domain.
For the negative side of the ques-
ton, Mr.. w. B. Spann, Jr., took the
ground that annexation was fatal to
our own interests. Expansion and
annexation of territory in a republic

ever deeply loaded, has ever metswith
