Remembering A Humorist.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Washington's birthday in North
Carolina had double significance,
the celebration OF the anniversary OF
the "father OF his country" and OF
the birthday OF the North Carolina
humOrist, Bill Nye.
Indeed, according to press dis
patches, ceremOnials in the state and
city schools leaned more toward
hOnOring the funmaker than the
nations first president. The curric-
ulum was suspended while the stu
dents executed a spoken and choral
program that recalled the gentle
genius who made so strong III i'm
press on the humOr Of his time.
This was as it should have been.
He who can make us smile is the
benefactOr of humanity.
And Bill Nye had a method all his
own.
1t is likely that he was architype OF
that especial humOr America has
given TO the wOrld-exaggerated,
droll, depending for it's success upon
a grotnsque appeal or upon literally
brOadsiding the disabilities.
He was as eficacious in his wav as
a battalion of physicians, or as a
trip to the mountains.
And the best fea ture of his funmak-
ing was that it never carried a sting.

High School Debate.

Last Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock
in the School Auditorium, Misses
Hattie Cooper and LESSEE Tyler repre-
senting the McIver Literary Society,
and Messrs Arthur Tyler and Alex
Walking representing the Hesperian
Society met in a Joint debate on the
subject: "ResOlved, That Latin
should be required for admission to
college,"
This debate was the best that has
been held in the High School this
year. The young ladies and young
gentlemen showed by their speeches
that they had firm grasp on the
subject and also argued it in such n
manner as to reflect credit on them
selves and their respective societies.
The speech of Mr.. Alex Watkins
was the feature Of the occasion. He
presented the Affirmative side of the
question in n clear and concise man
ner, and his delivery would have done
credit to an older and more expe-
rienced speaker.
The young ladies. however, were

spirit of the debate attacked the At

the most potent argument in the de-

Story Of A Fox Chase.

Editor GOLD LEAF:
Please publish the following story
for the benefit of those of your read
ers who are interested in, and 'fOllow
after the chase" provided you think
it not unfit.
"Wav down Sandy Creek in the
vicinity OF Jones' Min there lived an
old fox known ~ "Unclp Tom He
was thus named in honor at a quiet
and prosperous farmer, of above
named section, who had graciOusly
furnished him for many years all
that his heart could wish in the way
Of mutton, pork, and goose-meat.
On this wholesome bill of fare Uncle
Tom had waxed strong and supple.
and in the meantime had gathered
about him quite a large family.
1t is said that every hunter for
many miles around had been enter
tanned by his cunning ways and de-
vices, and on account of the fact that
he was always left to roam at his
own will, this particular FOX was con-
sidered a most valuable asset by
hunters of all grades.
But Sheriff Smith had promised
the boys that after they had tired of
the game and given him up he could
come up from his Halifax farm and
show them Just how the thing ought
to be did" So on Tuesday morn
ing, February Dist, the Sheriff APP
peared on the scene. seconded by
Messrs. Hardy and son, neighbOrs of
his. and now Genie Merritt is saying
Il told you So" After an exciting
chase of one hour and twenty min
utes. most of which was timed to a
double quick drum be at, the Sheriff s
promise had been fulfilled. But,
alas! somebody had made a fatal
mistake, by inviting two other vet
eran fox hunters to Il share in the
contest. These we're jim Journigan
and Charlie Ayscue, and now it mat
ters not how many honors may come
the fact remains that Ayscue's old
FIeet-tOe caught the fox. Some say,
it must have been "Unclp Tom" but
those who should know best, having
been near enough to shake hands
with him more than once, say not.
However, it was a fine fox and a
fine chase and a good time all around.
The best established truth about the
whole matter is, that it may have
been "Aunt" Tom, it certainly was
not "Uncle' Tom.

Mr.. W. d. Roberts, Assistant In-
dustrial Agent OF the Carolina,

from johnson City, Tenn, under
date of Feb. 25th, thanks the press
for the great work it has done in be-
half Of the "Back Home" movement
SO vigorously prosecuted by the In
dustrial Department OF the Clinch-
field road, and says:
The "Back Home" movement is ac-
tually bringing our Southern people
back from the West; their coming is
causing others to inquire the reason; it
is causing our people in the West to coun-
sci our young men to stay in the South.
and to talk up" the South in their
present communities; it is getting front
page space on the great newspapers Of
the Middle and Northwest; it is arousing
our own people to the point of taking a
personal interest in getting more people
into the Southern States, and all these
are due to your broad-sighted, unselfish
cooperation with Us in pressing the
Back Home" movement campaign. All
honor to you for it; and may your share
of the resulting good be large.
But there is yet more for us to do. We
must obtain the names anC addresses OF
all our runaways in order to reach them
with argument, and we must so arouse
and direct public opinion that all the
railroads, state and local boards of
trade, and other public agencies will de-
vote their activities to the movement.

Is that subOrdination in service does
not necessarily imply personal in

the white people Of the South to draw
the distinction between these two
terms. \ third is that no person
