last night. The query for this debate
is: Resolved. That the national banks
should be allowed to issue. subject to
tax and government supervision. notes
on their general assets" Those cone
testing for places on the debate were
Messrs. ]. w. Hester. j. T. Johnston, T.
L. Simmons and I. Willis. From these
candidates Messrs. j. w. Hester and ].
T. Johnston were chosen to represent
Carolina in the contest. The committee
rendering the decision was composed
of Professors Graham. Stacy and YER
mont.
The debate will be held in Rich
mond on April Sd. The Virginia team
has already been chosen. and from
what can be gathered is made up of
a very strong personality. The contest
will be interesting and stubbornly
fought from start to finish. The facul-

confidence in the team, and it Is be-
lieved that in this, as in all other con-
tests with her old rival. Carolina will
acquit herself credita-4y.
