cial Incident.

Macon, Dec. 1S.-The election to-day
to fill four vacancies in the alder
manic board passed off without spe-
cial incident. The reason for the
quietude is easy to understand as
there was practically no issue at
stake. The nominees were named
about a month ago by the Demo-
cratic primary and their election is re-
garded as for the most part a for
mality. However, President Howell
Harris of the Municipal League and
others have called upon the. voters to
swell the vote.
1t was expected that at this time
the voters of the city would decide
whether the city should issue 1926, 900
in bonds for the. purpose of paying the
floating debt of the city. Judge FELTON,
of the Superior Court enjoined the
election several weeks ago.
The new men who were to-day elect
ed were: First Ward, Prof. F. A. Gut
tenberger; Second Ward, j. B. Mel

Interesting oratorical Contest.

Thepreliminary oratoricalcontest, in
which the students of Shepherd Col
lege battled for the honor of represent
ing their school at the inter-normal
contest to be held at Hinton, W, Va,
on April 18th, was held in the col.
lege hall last Saturday night. The
friends of the several contestants were
present in force, and the hall WAS
filled with interested and enthusiastic
people. There were FIVE contestants,
Misses Ada Kanods and Louise Anna
SNYDER and Messrs. Edgar Halleck,
John Link and E W. Miller. Joseph
I. Triplett had prepared an grafton,
but was not able to deliver 1t because
of sickness. The manuscript had
previously been placed in the hands
of three judges-Rev. Il. c Halthco1,
D. D., OF Shepherdstown, Prof. Wright
Denny, of Charles Town, and Prof Z.
H Cole, of Martinsburg-to be graded
as to thought. Saturday night they
were to be Judged as to delivery. The
Judges for this pant Of the Grafton
were Mr.. A. J. Wilkinson, of Grafton;
Hon. c. NJ. Wetzel, of this county
and Miss South, of Morgantown.
The FIVE contestants acquitted them
selves most creditably, and We are
sure there was never a more excellent
programme than this one, the sixth
That has been held The productions
were thoughtful and earnest and were
delivered with force and spirit. When
the last Grafton had been delivered
the Judges retired to add up their
points and combine them with those
Of the judges on thought. The or
chestrs played, but the music was not
given much attention, for everybody
was on the qui vive to hear the de-
cision. After an anxious period OF
waiting the judges appeared on the
stage, and Mr.. Wilkinson arose to an.
nounce the decision. He made a
pleasant speech, in which he explained
the object of these contests. of which
he was the originator and in which he
continues to be deeply interested. The
audience was keyed up to a pretty
high tension when he got ready to
name the winner. He finally said
that the winner was No 4 Miss Louise
Anna Snyder, and that No. 6, Z. W.
Miller, had second place. The friends
of the fortunate contestant applauded
heartily, but naturally there was a
feeling of sadness among the partisans
of the others who had such excellent
orations. The young winner of the
honor was surrounded by her friends
and cheerfully congratulated. The
subject of her grafton was "The Com
ing American"
The music with which the pro-
gramme was interspersed was very
enjoyable. The Shepherd College Or
chestra rendered several selections,
and vocal solos were sung by Miss
Pendleton and Miss Mary Hartzell.
The contest at which representatives
of the several normal schools will
strive for the oratorical honors and
the liberal prizes offered by Mr.. VIII
kinson will be held at Hinton on Sat-
urday night, April 10th Itpromises
to be interesting, and Shepherd Col
lege is hopeful of winning victory
that shall add to the laurels that have
heretofore been gained by her repre-
sentatives.
