REPORT FROM
DEBATING SOCIETY
Members OF Golden Rod Club
Debate On Good Roads And
Suffrage. Make Splendid
Points
DEBATE ON SUFFRAGE

The Golden Rod Debating Society,
of Hites Run, held debate recently;
Resolved that good roads are better
than bad roads. Good roads won.
Points we're made on ancient history
and todays history. The bad roads
bows claimed that there was no found
alton to build road on and there was
no use wasting money trying to build
them. The debate was fine and aroused
a good roads interest among the young
men of Hites Run.
Resolved that there should be an
educational qualification for suff-
rage" was the subject of the last de-
bate. Affirmative sides: Chas Ad-
kisson and Albert Drum. Negative
side: Scott Smart. Albert Wheatley,
Forrest Beavin and Simons Smart.
Mr.. Addison started the debate by
explaining Afrioa's ignorance towards
voting. He explained that an lgnor'
ant voter would pass bill over an edu
Gated voter that would break down our
country. Scott Smart proved that
educated men had ruined the world.
He made good points on the reciprocity
bill. Auburn heatley claimed that
elections are free and equal, saying
that you might as well educate people
to drink water as to vote. Mr.. Drum
holds up to Mr.. Adkisson's bill. Edu-
cation is necessary to hold down bribs-
nv and misbehavior. Mr.. Beavin ex-
planned that bribery exposed on the
educated man proves to be ten times as
bad as proving it.on the ignorant man.
Simons Smart used United States and
Kentucky constitutions as his weapons
and made some plain points.
A strong fight ragged until l:3O o.
clock. Affirmative won. Judges were:
John Mcclellan. Geo. Denham, and
Mr.. Craven, of New Bethel.
The first Saturday night in May, a
debate on Woman's Suffrage will be
held at Smart Dsnham school-house
The debates are instructive and are

IN LOVING MEMORY OF |
| ADELE BERRY BENTON |

Little Adele, the third child and Sec
ond daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Carl Ben

Grated on her for appendicitis, but her
bright little life was already Swallowed
by the hand of death aud it hickered
out at 3;4j Tuesday afternoon She is
survived by her parents, three sisters
and two brothers.
Adele had great personal beauty and
was richly endowed intellectually. For
one so young she was possessed of un.
usual loneliness of character. Her
nature was sweet one;
Sweet as the newborn day
And pure as the drifted snow.n
Her mother called her "The Little
Peace-Maker." Though but child OF
eight years of age, she had opened her
little heart to God and was loyal little
Christian. 1t was easy for her to pass
from the dear ones on earth to the
glorified saints in heaven. Her going
was as the fading away of the sunshine
on a sweet summer day The short
life of this noble little child was not in
vane, for the memory of it will be ar
inspiration that will cheer and bless
all who knew her.
"She is not dead, the child of our af-
lection.
But gone into that school
Where she no longer needs our poor
protection,
And Christ Himself doth rule"
"In that great cloister's stiffness and
seclusion,
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation and SINS pol
luton,
She lives, whom we call dead"

home, Wednesday afternoon at o'clocl

tender and affecting sermon from the
text, 2 Samuel, II chapter, 20 verse
from Dayid's encouraging words that
have strengthened many a mourner

return to me-"
Many sympathetic friends and relat-
ives thronged the house and the floral
tributes were numerous and beautiful,
The grave at the cemetery was lined
with white cloth, and after the white
coffin had been lowered, Adele's little
school mates passed by and dropped
lilies Of the valley into the grave.
And now she is hidden from US for a
time.
