TRIBUNE SOLD
 TO TEXAS PAPER

This week issue of the Arkan. sas Union Tribune will be the last which will be published in Conway, the subscription list and good will of the paper having been sold to the National Co-operator an organ of the Farmers Union published at Fort Worth, Texas.
 Ths Tribune was founded in this city nearly four years ago by Ben l.. Griffin, who was then state secretary-treasurer of the Farmers Uuion. After conducting the pa per about three years, during which time subscription list oi nearly 10000 was built up MT. Griffin sold the publication last December to State Secretary M. F. Dickinson, Assistant Secretary F.. A. Corley and J. A. Boone, who leased the Arkansas Farmer plant from l.. $. Dunaway and also con tinued the publication of the Farm CT. On account of increasing off cial duties aud their inability to de. vote to the paper the time required to make it success, 1t was decided to merge the Tribune with the Co operator.

NORMAL WINS
 ANOTHER ONE

By hitting the visitors star pitcher, Finger, hard and effect ively the State Normal defeated Ouachita College Saturday after noon and gave setback to the team which seems to be making a runaway race for the collegiate pennant. Although Finger has signed with the Argenta state league team. the class he displayed here Saturday was so far inferior to that shown by Miller in the pre- ceding game with Hendrix, it would seem that the professionals had signed the wrong man.
 Ouachita took the lead in the first with a home run by Roseman with two on bases. but the Normal tied the score by making three i'll the second. Three clean hits in

at any time they wished. Ac- cordingly the young people held hurried consultation and decided they would need forgiviness for so rash an act and that they should be married before church so that they could afterwards attend ser vices. Rev. R. B. McSwain of Hendrix was summoned and upon his arrival the ceremony was per formed.
 The bride was very becomingly attired in travelling gown of gray while her maid, Miss Smith was in white. The witnesses were not numerous, the young people pre- ferring the quiet ceremony and simple start on their long voyage on the journey through life's tenn pestuous way. Those present were the bride and groom, Miss Smith, Prof. McSwain, Mir. and Mrs. Frank T. Carroll, Paul D. Cooper and John A. Frisby, and after the ceremony these friends showered the young people with their good wishes, and high hopes for their future happiness and sue cess.
 The bride is charming young lady and is we'll known in Little Rock, while her husband, MT. Garland. is one of the most popu lar young men of his home town, Emmet, Ark, being the son of MT. and Mrs. R. K. Garland of that place.
 They will be at home to their friends at Fort Smith, Ark after June I.

DEBATE|S WON
 BY 0UACH|TA VISITORS GET CLOSE DECISION
Hendrix Debaters Make Strons
 Arguments,
But Verdict of Two of the Three Judges is Against Them-Big Crowd
 Attends.

By the verdict of two of the three judges, Ouachita College was giv- en the decision over Hendrix ill the intercollegiate debate at Hen- driX auditorium Saturday night, and the representatives of the Ark adelphia institution bore off iii triumph the handsome silver trophy cup which was awarded by the Conway Board of Trade.
 Although only small number of Ouachita students were present, the crowd filled every seat in the auditorium, and there were but few vacant seats i'll the Y. MICA. hall to the rear, which was thrown together with the auditorium.
 The question for discussion was Resolved, that 1t would be for the best interest of the United States tc prevent the immigration of oriental laborers, Hendrix College having the affirmative and Ouachita the negative side.
 The debaters and order of their speeches was as follows: First af- frmative, Hugh w. Robertson; first negative, C. K. Townsend second affirmative, H. l.. Wade second negative, C. Hinton; third affirmative, R. H. Cannon; third

exercise a careful restriction of oriental immigration; that Japan was now frst-class power and to deny admission of her citizens would be an insult which that na- ton would be sure to resent with the sword. Statistics were read showing that, while the Pacific coast states contain practically all of the orientals, wages in those states are higher than anywhere else in the nation and labor is at premium, proving that the compe- tition was working no injury to American labor. Fruit growers and other employers were quoted as favoring immigration in order to supply the deficiency of labor. It was also urged that both Chinese and Japanese are quiet and indus trious, guilty Of few violations of the law and causing less trouble than almost any other race.
 At the conclusion of the debate, the judges, Chief Justice E. A McCulloch and Hon. Morris NJ Cohn of Little Rock and Hon. w. V. Tompkins of Prescott, retired to decide the winning team, and within few minutes President ]. ]. Doyne of the State Normal arose to announce their decision. Alter an ingenious talk in which he al- ternately raised the hopes of each side and brought applause from both, MT. Doyne stated that the verdict of the judges was in favor of the negative.
 Each judge graded according to his own system, and atl the close simply wrote on slip of paper the name of the side which he thought produced the better argument. IL was learned after the debate that two of the judges voted for Ouachi- ta while one voted for Hendrix showing that the decision was a close one.

DARED TO WED.
 COUPLE ACCEPT

That 1t never pays to dare a girl and boy to pay minister a visit is all evident fact, and es- pecially is this true if the young man and lady have been sweet hearts for some time and the thoughts of each of them have been lightly turning to love. " If any further evidence of the truth of the statement is needed beside the observations of the many the story of very quiet lit- tie wedding which occurred in the parlors of the Commercial Hotel at Conway at Io:3o Sunday morning, may help to bring conviction.
 Among the visitors to the city to attend the annual debate of Ouach- ita and Hendrix Colleges, were Misses Veda F. Nichols, daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. A Nichols, of I7Io w st Ninth Street, Little Rock, and Elizabeth Smith, her friend, of the same place, also R. D. Garland of Emmett, Ark. who was formerly a student of Hendrix
 All went we'll until Saturday night when the three were at din- ner at the Commercial Hotel when Miss Smith dared the couple to be married on the following morning There was silence for a moment and then knowing full we'll that they were sailing that way and that even then Miss Nichols mother was preparing her wedding clothes the young people were game" and accepted the dare. The young man went on a still hunt for the county clerk and se- cured the license.
 Mir. Garland rose very early Sunday morning and was some what surprised when Mine Host" Carroll, proprietor of the Commer- cial, informed him that both he and Mrs. Carroll were "next" to the plans, and told him the par Tor would be ill readiness for them

Argument of Affirmative.

The Hendrix representatives maintained that the exclusion of Chinese laborers had been an un- qualified success for 27 years, and that this policy of exclusion should likewise be extended to all orientals; that the western riots were due to the admission of coolies and such difficulties would inevitably result in complications and wars with the eastern powers. They shove how ruinous was the competition be- tween the cheap labor of the orient with white American labor and claimed that with protective tariff for capitol the country should also protect its laborers from all influx of mongolian hordes. MT. Wade read letters from the governors of large humber of states, all of whom favor exclusion and said that public sentiment demanded such a policy. In reply to the claim that there was an economic need for or ental labor, the affirmative urged that it would be better to preserve the unoccupied lands and undeveloped resources of the nation for the future needs of our own people. The admission of oriental laborers, it is claimed, would mean, before generation had passed, the most monumental race struggle the world has ever seen, and until the United States has solved the negro question it should be slow in creating a greater one.
