The Mcmillan High School Debat-
ing a defeated the debators from
the combined University Teachers
College and the Columbia High
School, Wednesday night when they
argued the negative side Of this
question = Resolved. That the Cor
poration Tax, Granting Its Constitu-
t~ionality. Is a Just and Equitable
Tax" The Mcmillan team was com
posed Of Poole Harrison, Arthur Sned
eker and Chas. Liebler.
Too much credit cannot be given
the Mcmillan team for their clever
argument and for their excellent
delivery. They outshone their op-
ponents al every point. The McMil
Ian roofing section was on the south
side of the court room which was
crowded to standing room. The Nc
MILAN band occupied the jury box
and between times rendered vari-
GUS selections.
1t took many an old college grad
uate back tc an intercollegiate de-
bate there was so much wholesome
spirit. The Rev. Walter NJ. White,
as chairman, introduced Ralph Wayne
of Mcmillan, who in a few well
chosen words welcomed the visiting
debators. W. P. Stringer, Of Co
lumbia, opened for the affirmative
and his colleagues were John Ayles-
worth and Douglas Y. Smith. They
all spoke wen, but we're entirely out
classed by the locals. The judges
were DR.. j. ]. Rice. Of Westminster
College; supt. Edmonston, Of the
Marshall schools, and D. H. Robert
son, of this city.
Mr.. Harrison opened for Mcmillan
and, in a forceful manner, refuted
the arguments Of the first speaker fol
the affirmative. He was followed b.
Mr.. Snedeker, who continued th'
good work Of his predecessor on thu
negative and showed excellent abil
ity as a speaker. Mr.. Liebler close'
for the locals, and he finished tn
arguments of the affirmative in suel
a telling manner nothing was lef
but victory. The Mcmillan debatin
team is one Of the best In the his
