Wilkes and Mr.. Dibble Rickenbaker
will represent the Affirmative while
the negative will be defended by Miss
Lurline Crum and Mr.. Wesley Sum-
mers.
Besides the debate some Of the

it has been deemed best to divide
the exercises into equal parts for the
two nights.
Rather an innovation for high
schools introduced by this class is
the selection of class ring. Usu-
ally a pin, cap or something similar
is selected but heavy gold ring, set
with a raised serpent circle inclos-
ing the initials 20. H. S., IL"

The Atlanta Constitution says:

Five things are accomplished by
this system:

Easter

1t was glorious day. The ladies
appreciated the fact and showed their
appreciation by donning their new
gowns and hats. The bright colors
gIittered In the sunshine till the eyes
were fairly dazzled.
At church, the pastor forgot his
usual Injunction, "hatsoff." 1t would
have been too bad to coDsign those
creations Of beauty to the obScurity
Of a dusty seat, or any less conspicuous
place than the top Of the head.
Really many of the fair ones did look
unusually stunning 10 The latest crea-
tions of the milliner and dressmaker.
How happy they all seemed, When
the expenditure of such very few
dollars will contribute so much to the
worlds happiness for one whole days
who can begrudge the money? Then
the enjoyment for the rest Of. the
week, 10 discussing the gowns of their
neighbors.
We are glad for the happy joyous
Easter when the fair ones can look
their best and smile their. sweetest
and no desire for the ballot shadow
their fair brows.

WHAT HAVE | DONE?

It's good thing to pause now and
then, and ask oneself: What have |
done for God this year, this week
this day? How meagre in service
would many life appear under
such questioningl But ought not
every Christian to put the searching
query, and to answer it with con
scientious fdelity9 1t will one day
be asked by other lips, and under
circumstances that will admit no
quibbling in reply. 1t is better tc
make the self examination now
while there is still opportunity, no
indeed to retrieve the past-that Il
gone forever but,to do better SER
vice hereafter. Anonymous.

Telephones for a Church

The new Episcopal Cathedral of St.
John the Divine, which was dedicated
April 10, contained complete system
of telephone communication the like
of which is to be fooDd in no other
church edifce in the world. Every
part OF the mammoth building will
be linked to every other part through
the central switchboard.
There is, for example, a telephone
on the highest point Of the dome.
Another will be placed at the top of
the great spire when this is built,
reaching more than four hundred feet
above sea level. There are telephones
at brief intervals along the choir gal
leries aud in the choir stalls, while
another instrument is at the elb1w OF
the organist and choirmss,er
The telephone system extends t. the
synod hall, whete the canons have
their offices, to the choir school, the
business, Office, the basement rooms,
and even the workhouse on the
grouu Is.

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES

There is an injunction in the
Bible that IS often laughed at, and
that is. glove your enemies. " 1t
is thought to be Sc impracticabIe
and transcendental as to be beyond
the very dream of human nature.
And yet, there is no axiom sounder
than that injunction. 1t is the very
logic of good sense. Think over
the fruits of hatred and see if there
IS one that you Ike. Think over
the fruits of lore and see if you
don't like them all. The power of
love is as definite and calculable as
either the power of steam or e!ec-
tricity.
One can never hold a correct
opinion of another unless he loves
him. He can never see the truth
through the eyes of hate. He might
as we'll try to see the white light
through green glass. Love is not
simply "goody-goody' sentiment;
it is reality as big as the atmos-
phere or the sun.
If you love, love more. IF you
hate, hate no more. Life ig too
short to spend in hating any one.
Why war with a mortal man who is
gong the same road with US? Why
not expand the flower of life and
happiness by learning to love, by
teaching those who are near and
dear, the beautiful lesson? Your
hands may be hard, but your heart
need not be. Your form may be
bent or ugly, but do you not konw
that the most beautiful flowers often
grow in the mest rugged, unsheltered
places? The palace for care, and
the cottage foC love. Not that there
is no love in mansion; but some
how, if we are not careful, business
will crowd all there is of beauty cut
of the heart.
This IS why God has given US the
Sabbath, that we may leave busi
ness in the Office. and have heart
cleaning.
He that is hunble and ever de-.
string to serve others, will surely
find others desiring to serve him.
Once again, love your enemies

Country BOYS Win

Last Saturday night, few town
boys undertook to drive out OF town
or lick a few country boys who chanced
to be in town. After the preliminary
scrap, each side hustled reinforce
ments. The beligerents then met on
the west side of the Bank of Com merce
and without any further preliminaries
the fun began. For several minutes,
it was give and take, 40 quarter asked
or given. Fists smacked into faces
and hard knuckles ratified against
harder heads and boys measured their
length on the side walk. Few we're
the words spoken. 1t was purely a
business meeting, Finally the mele
stopped, simply for want of more
town boys for the cluntry lads to
work on. The Rext day gang of
town boys were much affl cted with
cases of swell head and battered faces,
while one was nursing a broken arm.
1t was said his arm was broken by
a fall, when he came in contact with
the list of sturdy farm youth. We
don't know any thing about the merits
Of this mixup, but somehow our
SympathieS are with the country boys.
We remember the days of our youth
on the farm, when the gangs of town
boys were terror to the country lad
who might be sent TO town alone on
some errand.

the MEXICAN TROUBLE

The little rebellion started in
Mexico few months back seems to
be growing in importance and to be
taking on more and more the appear
ance of civil war.
The Mexican government has
shown its inability to cope with the
situation and instead of squelching
the lnsurection on short order, it
has allowed it to grow and lntrench
itself till it has become very formid-
able. This dissffected territory
seems to grow all the time. So far
the fighting has been more in the
shape of skirmishing between small
squads of men on either side, but
now the government seems to be
concentrating larger forces at diff
ferent points and the insurectos are
gathering their rowing bands into
larger bodies and becoming better
versed In military tactics. Ia the
last few days there has been severe
fighting around the little city Of
Agna Prieta, just across the line
from Douglas Arizona, one thous-
and rebels under Balasario Garcia
haye entrenched themselves in the
town and they are besieged by
about 1000 Mexican troops.
During the fighting which lasted
all day it seemed one side or the
other was firing most of the time
towards the American city and quite
number of Americaa citizens have
been wounded and one or two killed
by the shots from across the line.
President Taft has called the
attention Of the Mexican govern
ment to this fact and likewise mott
fed the lnsurreCtos that such busl-
ness must be stopped at once. Oul
government cannot afford to ovei
look this fact that innocent citizens
are beng shot by foreign soldier.
The United States wants no wal
with Mexico, but Uncle Sam musl
maintain his dignity at any cost.
1t begins to look now like the
lnsurrectos will soon be in shape tc
dictate terms to the Diaz govern
ment, unless the authorities ct the
old city wake up at once and get a
move on themselves. IL this firing
across the line does not stop at once,
Pres. Taft will be obliged TO move
few thousand American troops
across the line and take possession
of the Mexican cities that border
the United States.
This country would like to see
Mexico settle her own diff culties
and would like 10 have quiet and
peace reign in a border Republic
where American interests are SO
great. But, If it becomes neces-
sary, thanks to Pres. Taft's fore
thought. we can at once move an
army over the line that would be in
no danger from the insurrecto or
regular Mexican soldier.
We must have peace If we have
to fight for it.
