John P. McGaw, LII, was the win

Athenaeum Friday night, when Hunt
land Winchester, Fayetteville and Co
lumbia met In battle royal. John
was the only one Of the speakers in
short pants, but he was long In that
element of intelligence and delivery
that goes to make a good speaker.
The other young men all did exceed
Iingly well, and none were more cor
dial in their congratulations of the
winner than were those who contend
ed with him for the honors.
Prof. ]. c. Mitchell was chairman
of the exercises. Previous to the
opening Of the program the pupils of
the high school all assembled we'll
to the front and right of the stage
made the auditorium ring with their
school yells and songs and while
they were loyal to their representa-
tives on the stage they never forget
to be courteous to the visitors.
The first number on the program
was piano solo by Miss Sue shep-
pard, Immediately following which
the first speaker was introduced.
The speakers in order were Hubert
Bass, of Winchester; VIII sisk, Of
Huntland; John McGaw, of Columbia,
and Sam Smith. Of Fayetteville.
Miss Mary Cooper Boyd and Miss
Ruth Shields each sang a solo, and

Of the program With 4 lave song.
The. judges, who were Superintend-
ent John p. Graham, Prof w. O..
Klingman and Rev ri. 4. Birkett, rem
ldered their decision byshaalot and the,
result was announced by Prof. Mitch
ell, who took advantage Of the occa-
sion to recite some poetry which was
most tenderly dedicated to Prof. Nor
! ton.
When Prof. Mitchell announced
that Young McGaw was the winner
by unanimous vote, there was a
roar of satisfaction and victory that
made the building tremble, and it was
hard to tell who received the most
congratulations the speaker or his
parents
| A reception was held in the manual
training room, and for more than an
hour this room was crowded with pu-
lpils of the high school and their
guests, and all were served to de-
lightful course of fruits and nuts.
| Immediately after assembling In
the reception room Santa Claus ap-
peared and rendered consolation
prize to the speakers in the declama-
tory contest.
The occasion in its entirety was =
most pleasing cne, the arrangements
and decorations being OF the very best
possible. and appropriate in every
particular.

OLIVER TWIST.
Feature Pictures at the Colonial
Theatre Toeight.

IRON the number of inquiries
about the great feature pictures Of
Nat Goodwin as Fagin in Charles
Dickens masterpiece, "Oliver
Twist" to be shown at the Colonial
tonight, ii is q safe bet that the thea
tire will be packed both performances
aud you go early in order 10 get seats.
The author Charles Dickens, fin
ished and published the book of Oil
yer Twist in the year of 1888 and it
was but one year after when this
most interesting story was put into
play form.
Though in transposing Oliver
Twist into play form, il was necessary
10 depart somewhat from the Sc
quence of the events in the book.
Dickens chose TO keep The identity Of
the mysterious Monks a profound
secret up to its closing chapter. In
dramatizing story, this cannot be
done, the audience demands to know
from the outset what the motives are
that prompt the behavior of the va
rious characters.
How cleverly the author has kept
up the interest until the final moment,
with the death of Fagin in jail and
the complete destruction of Bill Skies,
is left to the production to show
you. Remember this great play in
FIVE reels will be shown tonight only.

Physical Culture.

[Paper No. X-Prof. Il. S. Krantz Asst.
Phys. Instructor U. ), N, Al
Physical Culture What is it and
what does it mean? Physical cul-
ture is as old as time. We have de-
rived our invaluable anthropometic
system of measurement from old rec
ords, charts, tablets, etc.. found in
buried archives of the Egyptians.
They date from time prehistoric.
We have the present concrete illus
trations of the physical prowess and
capabilities of these our ancestors in
the mighty pyramids, spresenting
work accomplished by the human hand
such as would test the most powerful
machinery of today. And again,
have not the Olympic games of an
cient Greece perpetuated her name,
and made it lasting, typifying all that
is mighty aud strong?
An interesting and amusing story
is told in illustrating the physical en-.
durance and stole heroism of the
Greeks, of young spartan, who hav-
ing stolen fox and fearing apprehen-
sion put it under his blouse, where
it gnawed his vitals without eliciting
from him cry of pain or change of
countenance. The Roman Gladiatorial
combats have given history its attrac-
tivsness and intensity and have been
symbolic of all that is Characteristic
of manly fortitude and courage.
We read in Genesis VI-IV-There
were giants in the earth in those days /;
and also after that, when the sons of
God came in unto the daughters of
men, aud they bear children to them,
the same became mighty men which
were of old, men of renown. Then
we read of a giant Goliath, whose
height was six cubits and a span
(about 9 feet inches), and again of
a giant, Ishbi -nebob, the weight of
whose spear was 800 sheckels, also of
that mighty specimen of physical per-
lection, who carried a spear, the staff
of which was like unto a weaver's
beam. Thus we see that in prehis-
toric times. in Biblical times and on
through the steady march of the ages,
the standard of physical efficiency
has been one of personal concerI and
national pride.
The days of our early ancestors
brought hard daily manual work, I'M
limited stores of fresh air and sun
shine, nard problems, involving life
and liberty, long hours of darkness,
quiet and rest, and we are reaping
even at this lGke day the benefits of
their compulsory good habits, in spite
of the long hours, artificial forms of
amusement, indoor occupations and
inactive muscles which tend to make
US weak and inefficient physically,
mentally and morally.
We cannot all become pioneers,
farmers or mariners, living Que of
doors all day and doing hard musclar
work, even if we so desired, but We
can get from fifteen to thirty minutes
exercise daily, of the kind That will
do us the most good, that exercise by
which we may the better combat the
trials of life, that exercise by which
we attain physical stamina without
which no man can successfully wage
his part in the struggle for life.
