AS we have been mentioned as a
partner in the "three-cornered tilt"
W. "ouid IKE W fSHlule OHS NucS-
ton: Who represents Richland at
Greenville? We ask this not only for
our own information, but for the in
formation OF the general public. 1t
seems hard to credit the report that
Richland was overlooked in this mat
ter; that the judges failed to say
whose oratory was best. 1t Is not in
Richland to stand by and be ignored
in such way, especially after COM
ing within "a hairs breadth" Of the
first place, Westminster and Wal
halla Notwithstanding. Both the boys
did real we'll, and 1t would be hard
for any Judge to decide which was
the better orator, but a decision had
to be made, and we have been asked
repeatedly which Is to go. So will
the 'young writer" please furnish
this information?
B. e. Bagwell and daughter, Miss
Lena, visited at Oakway a short time
ago.
