LEONARD Hall assembled March 1. 1914.
to hear o very interesting and we'll de.
bated subject. The subject for debate
was "Resoive that the Indian has been
more cruelty treated by the white man
than the Negro"

were AS follows, Affirmative Messrs. W.
H. Brooke and J.. P. Duke. Negativ. 8
Messrs II r. Bowling and W. p. Drurv.
The judges Of the day rendered their
decision unanimously 10 favor OF aftit-
native.
W. H. Brooke surprised the members
Of the society by the excellent way in
which be delivered his argument, BY
his strong comparisons, and good
points
He opened his debate by saying.
Gentlemen, there is much in the fate
Of these poor unfortunates to arouse our
- mpathy to the highest degree" and
he proved 1t by te ng us how the white
men drove them from their homes East
of the Mississippi, the aged, the help
less, the men, the warriors, few and
faint, yet fearless stlll,', into las they
called ~ the land OF the setting sun,
and how the white men failed to make
slaves Of them, because the Indian
would rather die than 10 be slave to
the white man.
The negative were no less strongly
upheld by Mr.. Bowling who told us that
the white men went to Africa and killed
The weak and crippled negroes, and
brought the others, strong aud working
negroes, over to the United States and
made slaves of them. He also told us
how the white man beat the negroes
(when they disobeyed or did not do suf-
ticient work. until the blood ran ont Of
their backs.
The meeting was then adjourned by
the President as usual.
Being the first Friday Of the month
