A GREAT DEBATE.
Men Grapple Against Women on
Women's Rights" "

There was great fun in the
auditorium of the Mexico Chris.
tian church last Friday night
five women debated against four
men on the question, Resolved,
That the right of franchise
should be extended to women, "
and the mcn-thc athrmatNe
won.
II. p. Avcrett was the first
speaker for the affirmative. He
said that woman denies that she
wants the right to vote, but when
a woman says no, no, no, she
means yes. lie entered seriously
into the question and gave many
instances Of history TO support
his position
Mrs. r. Y. Gibbs appeared for
the negative. She good naturedly
declared that woman is naturally
inferior to man. She is not re
sponsible for what she does. If
women want to run the world
they must begin at home. She
can do it with the children in
the streets. She should let non
essentials alone.
Rufus jackson, A. C. Whitson
and G. A. Barnes were the other
speakers for the affirmative
Mrs. j. II. wilkins, Mrs. f. S.
Wilson, Mrs. Dan Cauthorn and
Miss Mary Houston, on the mega
tive, came at the men and against
their own cause with dash and
witticisms-and some argument
yes, considerable argument-but
the judges gave the decision to
the affirmative.
Ross Cauthorn and J. w
Squires were the timekeepers
They had about as delicate a jol
as the judges, but they got thru
with it most gracefully.
The evening was one of the
highest pleasure. A large audi
ence was present.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The long
cherishede dream of an all-rail route
from New York and San Francisco to
Panama Is about realized. When the
canal Is opened, an effort will be made
to connect existing lines of railroad
between San Francisco, Chicago, New
York and Panama. The proposed
route would extend directly from San
Francisco through Ell Paso, where
the Chicago line would join. The 9TH
Ell line running from New York to
New Orleans and skirting the coast
of the Gulf of Mexico, join the other
line at Vera Cruz. President Taft
urges that the work be begun at once,
80 that the greater part of the line
will be completed by the time that
the canal is formally opened at Pana.

Of entirely new road to be built
through certain Of the Central Amer.

expected that the railroads which will
be constructed through the lower part
of Mexico and the Central American
States of Guatemala, Salvador, Hon
duras, Panama and the others through
which the line must pass, will pre-
vent in a large measure the revolu-
lions that has kept that country In an
uproar ever since they were declared
free states, by making the Transports
ton of troops through the country
more swift and giving the government
better facilities for handling the sup.
plies Of the army
The project has long been in the
mind of President Taft, who is the
strongest friend the proposed railroad
has The President made his plan
clear in an address delivered at Pana,
ma City during his recent visit to
that country. Since the Central
American states have sbegun to make
friens with the United States 1t is re-
garded as safe to begin actual work
on the railroad. Guatemala, one OF
the strongest, wants loan from this
country OF some forty million dollars
and should this negotiation be effect.
ed it will doubtless become warm
ally of the larger nation.

BUSTER BROWN
IA DRAWS A. CROWD
SUCCESS ATTENDS DEMoNsTRA.
TON OF HOSIERY AT STORE
OF r. N. FiGUERS g. SON.

All Of the little folks Of Columbia
and vicinity were in their seventh
heaven Wednesday afternoon when
Buster Brown and Tige appeared at
the well known furnishing store of T.
N. Figuers & Son. The store was
crowded with children the greater
part Of the day. There were probably
1000 people in the store first and last
all the day, and from every standpoint
the demonstration of the Buster
Brown brand of hosiery was most
decided success.
Souvenirs were distributed to the
children and close to thousand of
them were given away. At times the
store was literally running over with
children. They. scrambled for every
place of vantage and thoroughly en-
joyed the antics of the great chill
dren's favorite, Buster Brown. And
Buster was in his native element, he
was the very impersonification of the
original of the funny papers. The
children were highly pleased, some of
then really thinking that the orig
inal character was right among them
in the flesh.
AS an advertisement of the Buster
Brown Hosiery the demonstration
was altogether successful and 7. N
Figuers & Son are receiving congrat.
ulations upon the splendid advertise
ment which this, one of their leaders
has received. 1t all proved that there
was nothing that succeeds in business
like judicious advertising. The an.
nouncement of the coming of Buster
Brown was made but two days before
his arrival in The Herald and II more
people had read the advertisement
and come to the demonstration they
could not have crowded into the store
Aside from the pleasure which the
day gave the little folks, the intrinsic
merits of the hosiery were demon.
strated to such advantage that there
Is sure to be largely increased sale
during the coming season.

COMPARED TO SO CENTS IN

That it costs much less to keep the

workhouse superintendent, John Akin,
for the year 1908, which showed that
the average cost for keeping prison.
ers in the workhouse per day was
only IA cents. A recent bill which
passed the Legislature, provides 50
cents per day for the keeping Of pris-
oners in the county jail. During the
year 1908, which is taken for illustra-
ton, there were an average Of 80
hands in the workhouse, and during
the year they built total of six miles
of public road The total expense
paid out that year by the workhouse
commissioners was $7,165, which in
cludes every item of expense. The
