Fully Twelve Hundred
Attend.

Selma, Ala, April 49, Stirring
scenes, delayed tactics and smooth
parliamentary rules marked the clos
ing Of the 31st annual session OF the
Alabama State Teachers Association,
which was held here this week. The
sessions on Friday were held ir the
chapel Of Selma University. They
began at $3.50 a. m. with round tables
for the four departments. At these
departmental meetings the teachers,
numbering approximately 1,20O, as
they had arrived daily increasing the
attendance from 1000 to 1900, got a
splendid insight to many school
problems. >fter the adjournment of
these round Ables the local commit
tee under the Craftsmanship Of Prof.
r. B. Hudson, ably assisted by a
committee of ladies, served lunch in
the university dining-hall
The general session was held in

session that the fireworks began-it

deficit and the possibilities of a re-
/ port of the surplus, that there would
be an aspirant for the presidency
The entire afternoon was spent in
preparing for the battle royal Stir
ring speeches were made reports
heard and in the end the afternoon
session adjourned without reaching
any understanding or without finish
ing a portion of work. However, dusk
came on and night seemed to bring
a pacifying situation After a splen-
did program had been rendered in
the early evening and after an able
address had been delivered by a dis
tinguished speaker for the occasion,
Prof. George W. Trenholm, of Tus-
cumbia, Ala, was reelected pesident
while Prof. Walter s. Buchanan, prin-
cipal of the A. and M. College at
Normal, Ala, was reelected secretary.
1t appears that the committee on nom
ination, which had been elected the
day before, reported the reelection
of the old officers, but that the friends
of Prof. Pickens, of Ta!ladega, had
forced him into the race, which at
one time seemed extremely close, but
which assumed a different shape as
the night grew older 1t Is agreed
here by all who were in attendance
that this was the browning meeting
of the thirty-one years of the asso-
citation. This morning special trains
and, special coaches left Selma carry
ing hundreds of delegates to all parts
of the state. There were many dis
tinguished educators and visitors
present during the week. The most
pleasing in the entire proceeding was
the remarkable record made by the
administration reported by the re-
cording secretary.

FISK WINS AT
HOME--ABRORD.
In DEBATE ATLANTA
AT NASHVILLE
With WilberfOrce
at WilberfOrce.

Wilberforce, o., April 6.-Amid
deafening applause the Fisk boys
were acclaimed victors over Wilber-
force University in a debate last
night, which he'd the rapt attention
of an audience of more than 500 peo-
pie in magnificent Galloway Hail.
When Prof. G. NJ Sampson, of Xenia,
the presiding officer, unsealed the en-
velopes containing the decision of the
judges, which declared the stalwart
sons of Fisk the winners by two-tO-
one vote, the breathless suspense
which had been pent up in the large
audience broke it's bonds and yielded
to the shout and clamor of an APP
plauding audience, grateful for the
opportunity to give the deserved need
Of praise to the gallant three who
waged the battle forensic for the
gold and blue. Unconscious of the
fact that while they were speaking
there looked down upon their heads
from a line which stretched across
the front Of the thirty-foot stage, the
pennanI which has pointed more than
one team to victory, on the diamond,
the gridiron and the rostrum.
The annual debate between Fisk
and Atlanta University was held in
Fisk Memorial Chapel, Friday night
April 5th The subject for discus,
sion was. Resolved, That the present
method Of electing United States Sen
ators is preferable to system by
popular vote" Mr. Thos. j. Henry
10, and Mr. Jno, w. Rice, ~, of At
lanta, defended the affirmative side
Of the question, while Mr.. c. w. Kelly
~, and Mr.. Ernest Alexander, IA, Of
Fisk, supported the negative. There
was quite a large and appreciativt
audience out in spite of many other
attractions Of a literary nature in the
city.
The gentlemen from Atlanta baseC
their whole contention upon the in
capacity of the people to elect theh
Senator's
The first speaker on the affirma
tive contended that such evils as ex
ist in the present system are not in
herent in the system. but are the re
suit of the people using wrongly ;
system which in Itself is desirable.
The first negative speaker argued
that the present system has not work
ed well, using as the basis of sucl
contention the evils arising from
the confusion of State and Nationa
issues. On the otner hand direc
election would tend to improve tn
Senate, inasmuch as equal state REP
resentation would be secured and tn
people being the constituency OF tn
Senators could demand a thorough
and just representation Of their in
terests.
