EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL
BEATS CENTRAL IN DEBATE

In an interesting debate on the ques-
ton. Resolved, That United States
Senator's be elected by direct vote Of
the people the debating team of the
Eastern High School defending the
negative Of the question, defeated a
team Of the Central High School in the
assembly room Of the Eastern yester-
day afternoon.
The winning team was made up OF
Miss Z. NJ McGroarty, r. A. Helton,
and J. Berry. and on the affirmative
side were Miss Z. Dickey. II. ". Edger-
ton, and Major W. c. Van Week. The
judges were II. p. Blair. Thomas Sid
well and Claiming Rudd.
The opening address was made by
Miss McGrOarty, Of the Eastern, and
It was largely due 10 her arguments
that the negative side was declared
victor.

meant when a few years before he said
that he knew absolutely that there
were millions in cotton speculation For
answer SulIy told this story. which re-
vealed the theory on which he played:
"OJhers specUiated on wind" said h.
but [ spccul5tCd because / was firm in
nv belief that cotton mas been deterlOr-
atirg for years. In February 1893. the
idea first came 20 me. was on one Of
my trips South. While :-diug along the
Vazoo and Mississippi Railroad 1 saw
the Sreat quantities Of cotton seed were
.ylLg out N the road exposed TO the
freezing weather. Casually / wondered
what must be the effect Of the frost on
the next cotton crop. l became more in
terested in this than in any other prop
lon / ever encountered.
Problem Of Frozen Seed.
i knew that the outside layer of the
seed must certainly be frozen. and that
The life in the heart Of the seed must in
evltably be affected by the frozen out
side layer. / know from long observa-
ton that the planters would not take
the trouble 10 pick out the frozen seed.
but that they would SOW it just as it
lay on the fields and in the pens.
Before he sells mis- cotton staple the
planter has his first chance to get ready
money by selling cotton seed. Makers of
cotton oil used 10 pay Sl3 ton for the
seed. Now they pay so. Before the
farmer Dales his cotton he hurr1es on
his seed to the oil market and gets
cash for it.
And this seed is always from the first
picking which is the best. 1t Is Ger
tain that the seed from the second
picking of cotton Is inferior. This thing
has been going on for years. IL Is going
on at this moment. The cotton has de-
Perforated 1t viii continue to dwindle
until the Government steps in or the
planters of their own accord save their
best cotton seed for planting.
The demand for cotton is constantly
increasing. Under the wasteful system
of planting that has gone on for years
our supply fails, and viii for some time
continue to fail to keep up with the in
creased demand. The price, therefore.
is bound TO rise.
But yesterday it really seemed as II
another system had gone wrong.
