PINE BLUFF WON
ON HOME GROUND
Little Rock Followed Suit
and Hot Springs Was Not
To Be "Outdone"
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE
Attracted Large Crowd to Local High
Building Last Night-Debaters
From Valley Complimented.

Pine Bluff won at home, Little Rock
Won in Little Rock and Hot Springs
won in Hot Springs was the result of
the Tri-City High School debate,
which took place simultaneously in
the three cities last night. Much joy
was occasioned here by the victory of
the local Pine Bluff team, and before
the enthusiasm had subsidized the oth-
er results were announced.
Miss Emma Wilbourne and Gordon
Freeman represented the Pine Bluff
High School at home and Miss Eliza
beth Adams and John Toney went to
Little Rock for the school. By the
local victory the Pine Bluff school
captured a handsome loving cup Of
fered by Arnold Brothers, jewelers.
and also broke even on the loss Of
the contest in Little Rock.
The debate here took place in the
High School auditorium before az
audience that comfortably filled the
speaking hall. The audience was one
consisting Of patrons, students ald
the general public and apparently the
interest manifested was never aore
thoroughly displayed than on this oc-
casion The auditors of the youthful
speakers were highly appreciative o.
their efforts and throughout the even
ing the most attentive silence pre-
vailed over the building.
DR. Junius Jordan, superintendent
Of the city schools, presided and in
troduced the speakers in his usual
complimentary and brilliant style.
From the general applause it was ev:-
dent that the arguments and the man
ner of delivering them on the part CT
the speakers more than came VI to
expectations. The ideas and themes
of all addresses we're brilliant and
thoughtful and the delivery of mem
bers of both teams was forceful and
convincing. It should be stated in
Justice to Miss Muriel Jones and Reg
inald Young that they lost a hard
fought battle for supremacy in mod
ern oratory when the decision was
announced adverse to then. Their
efforts we're appreciated as was
shown by the compliments .cd "o1-

Der, 1910, when she got up one night
and said: II will see you in hell be-
fore I will live with such man as
you" Although she did not leave she
remained UP for several hours scold-
ing and refused to permit him to
sleep, calling him cur and saying
he was mean and contemplate.
When he would return home at
nights, from professional calls, says
the plaintiff, his wife would scold
him for<making too much noise, say
ing he was likely to wake her moth
er and sisters, and that he had no
consideration for their feelings On
these occasions plaintiff says he
would enter the house as quietly as
possible.
Although the defendant knew that
it had been the custom of the plaintiff
tn lie in bed at night and read. she
has quarreled during the past two
years of the presence of light, and
whenever the plaintiff undertook to
read. turned the light out over his
protest. This was done, he says,
solely to annoy him.
On such occasions says the plain
tiff, the defendant showed by her
looks, GESTURES and actions that she
had an utter contempt for the plain
tiff and wholly disregarded his
wishes.
''At no time during their married
life," reads the petition, "has the de-
PENDANT showed any care for the
plaintiff. She has never taken any
notice whatever, of his clothing to
ascertain whether or not repairs We're
necessary; has never made any such
repairs, and has repeatedly neglected
to look after or attend to the plain
tiff's clothing when requested to do
So Neither has she at any time at
tended to any household duties, but on
the contrary has wholly neglected and
refused to take care of the plaintiffs
home.
"The defendants condust towards
the plaintiff has always been devoid
of all affection, but during the last
eighteen months prior to the COM
mencement of this action she has
wholly refused to permit any caresses
or show OF affection on his part to-
wards her. During September, 1910,
when the plaintiff was leaving on a
trip to Indianapolis the defendant re-
fused to permit him to kiss her good
bye, and has at all times repealed all
advances made by him. Meantime
she has kept reminding him Of what
she conceived to be his shortcomings.
She has told him on many occasions
that he had no friends in Pine Bluff,
and that his practice as physician
was due entirely to her and her
friends"
According to the petition the de-
PENDANT tried to turn his own mother
against him, saying that she should
have never married the plaintiff as
he was so much older than she; that
there was no congeniality between
them and that she expected to Lave
to leave him. and she repeated to him
that his own mother had said unkind
things about him, which, plaintiff says
she did not in fact say.
She sought to make plaintiff give
up his friends, recites the petition,
and she charged him with telling his
troubles to them. The plaintiff charges
that his wife has high and ungov-
ernable temper and would often be-
