The Story Of Cinderella.

The story of Cinderella is a yer.

Miss Cox has collected and discussed
no fewer than 31s varieties of it.

a beast Of some sort in the cruder
versions of the story, but the slight

THE SOPHOMORE DEBATE

Arrangements for the annual
sophomore debate have been al.
most completed. The date for
the contest has been set for MAY
IS. DR.. Edwin Minis, Of the
English department, who has
this work in charge, has been
some weeks selecting the speakers
for the occasion, and they are
now ready to 90 to work for the
contest proper. DR.. Minis select.
ed the men from his Sophomore

worked up and written debate
speeches on several questions. In
this way the following men were
chosen. being adjudged by DIR.

The occasion Of the annual
sophomore debate is always an
interesting one here. Hon. Jas.

Board of Trustees, is donor OF a
handsome set Of books for which
the young men compete. The
debates are always Of a very high
order, aud much interest and en-.
thusiaSm are shown.

Legislature should pass a law
compelling all children between
the ages Of eight and fourteen

IN ADDRESS BY Z. Y. JUDD, CLASS go
dIyen Last Wednesday Evening BY
The Alumni Association.
(From The Trinity chronicle)

From The TRINITY Chronicle
Last Wednesday evening from
$40 till II the Trinity Park
School Alumni Association held
its annual reception at the Trim.
ity Park School, in the Asbury
building. Mr.. 2. v. Judd, class
go, superintendent Of public in
struction Of Wake county, was
orator of the occasion. He was
introduced by Mr. E. w. Knight,
president of the association, in
brief and well chosen words. Mr..
Judd's address was very appro-
pirate, and was greatly enjoyed
by all present. He is a most
loyal alumnus OF the school, and
has taken great delight in the
work and progress of the school
since leaving the institution.
After the address Miss Pearl
Brinson, a student at Trinity
College, sang several solos which
added greatly to the enjoyment of
the occasion. The Trinity Col
lege quartet, composed of Messrs.
A. S Berghauser. .Gilmer Siler,
Pierce Wyche and A. D.. Jones,
sang two selections. These songs
were beautifully done, and re-
ceived the hearty applause of the
entire audience.
After the above features of the
evening were over the remainder
Of the time was spent in a kind
of go-as-you-please manner. The
entire building was thrown open
but most of the time was spent in
the two elegant society halls.
which had been beautifully de-
corated with the society colors
for the occasion. A number of
yells were given by some of the
old classes, aud there was a strong
manifestation of love for the
school. II is estimated that about
two hundred persons were pres
ent. There were a few out-of.
town alumni present, bnt the ma.
jority Of the old ones were from
the city and those who are now
in college here. In addition to
the old students present, the en-
tire school was present.
The reception this year Was a
little different from those held
during the past, and it was the
desire OF the committee appointed
to arrange the matter so as to
institute a departure from the old
custom by having this reception
in the Asbury building and hav-
ing the students Of the Park
School participate. The assoeia.
ton is now in better shape than
it has been in many years, which
is largely due TO the strenuous ef.
forts Of the president. Mr.. Knight. |
Since bis election last commence.
ment he has worked hard to get
new blood in the organization,
and the success Of the reception
last Wednesday evening is strong
evidence that he has largely sue.
ceeucd in his undertaking.

1t is not necessary to cite in

HOW THEY SEE US ABROAD.
English Newspaper Hears the News,
and Discusses Georgia Slavery"
Interesting If Not Accurate.

Reynolds News, a paper published
in London, England, contained this
article in recent issue:
Slavery in its worst form has
been brought to light at Georgia,
where convicts are sold and treated
like dogs. They wear iron anklets,
are chained to their hunks, fed on
tainted food, and indecently lodged.
Black man and white man are sold
as slaves, and are leased out to work
in quarries for private employees.
They have to work hard and are
often whipped to death for trifing
Offenses. These gruesOme facts have
been officially recorded by a legis-
lative committee which is sitting at
Atlanta, with a view of obtaining
enough facts to warrant constitution
al interference. The Georgia law
gives power to the state warden to
call for tenders and to lease out con-
vlctS to private employees for work
| on the roads and in brickyards, mines
and cotton fields, and Georgia itself
gets about $4,000 a year for the
sale of these Wretched creatures.
| They are, however, seldom worked

about 344 a year for each convict.
Then greedy and INSCRIPTIONS spec

ing to the testimony, in the pay of
the lessees, the service rendered be-
ing the coercion and overworking
of their wretched charges, in order
to make money for the lessees. More
than one lessee boldly appeared to
testify before the committee. and
claimed that the transactions were
! legitimate. One of them said that
he paid to the state a sum of ap-
proXimately &44 a year for each
able-bOdied convict, for whom he OBJ
tanned from $50 to $50 from the
Isub-lessees. He had as many as 700
men sub-leased. Other evidence, as
publicly recorded, described the con-
wet camps as scenes Of murder

THE GOVERNORS PLANIFOR
HANDLING THE CONVICTS
From the Savannah Morning News.

Apparently the governors plan for
keeping and caring for the convicts
makes everything subservient to the
extension of the Western and At
lantic railroad to the sea- He wants
them scattered among the counties
and on farms or in mines so that
they can be put to work on the pro-
posed extension in the event it is
decided to extend the road. The leg
islature hasn't yet decided to extend
the road to the sea, and it is far
from certain that it will. Evidently
it is the governors purpose to do
everything in his power to have it
extended. If the extension idea
didn't occupy so prominent a place
in his mind it is probable that he
would have so aided the legislature,
durings it's regular session, in per
fecting a plan for disposing of the
convicts that an extra session
wouldn't have been necessary, and
the state saved anywhere from $50
600 to 100000.
If the cOnvicts were to be used in
extending the Western and Atlantic
to the sea a large amount of ready
money would be needed. A convict
cannot be fed, clothed, housed and
guarded for less than thirty cents a
day and as there are more than D.
600 convicts the cost would be not
less than 100000 year How
could such an amount of money be
raised? The governor would prob
ably advise the bonding of the road
as it is built, but how would the con-
victs be supported while a section
sufficient in extent to permit of it's
being bonded was being constructed?
This and other problems the govern
or leaves to the legislature to solve
at a cost of $4,000 a day.
Until the legislature decides
whether or not it wants to extend
the Western and Atlantic to the sea
the governor advises that the coun-
ties be permitted to take all the fell
