kicked from under him, or he fell. A

from various parts of the State came
to Columbia yesterday to attend the
funeral.
The floral tributes we're beautiful.

some wreath from the city of New

that one would rather remain silent.
He held up the young mans life as
an example and said that his death

he would leave the court a free man.
The best tho lawyers could hope for

OPERATIONS IN
BUILDING LINE
Rush to Complete Contracts
Before Winter Starts.

November has been the second
best month in the year for giving
start to new building work, accord
ing to Building Inspector Michael J..
Mcnamara. He reports that, with
one exception, the present month has
caused proposed new work to come
forward to a larger amount than any
other In the year. There were not
so many buildings planned as In
some previous months, but the esti-
tn1dtedsccst on several was high, thus
swelling the aggregate amount for
the past four weeks. This is regard
ed as remarkable, because building
operations usually become slack in
the fall and keep diminishing until
winter sets in and practically puts a
stop to it. During the past five days
the building inspector issued permits
for more than $4,000 worth of pro-
posed new work. Among them we're
two factory structures, a store house
and three dwellings,.
Two architectural firms announce
they are preparing sketches for pro-
posed new buildings to be erected in
this city. Details will not beal
known until sketches have been APP
proved by the owners. One firm Ia

had a profusion of brown wavy
hair and great gray eyes shaded
by thick dark lashes.
She cried softly as Lester ex-

walking over the rough stones of
the road.
"Where do you live?" asked
Lester. Don't cry, I'll take you
home"
Don't live here, we're at the
hotel" She stopped crying and
looked at Lester with the conf
dence which the glance of his
eyes and his smile always won for
him.
"At the hotel? Well, my horse
will take us there very soon"
He lifted her in his arms, and
placing her on his saddle, sprang
up behind her. "She belongs, no

IMPROMPTU
DEBATE IS
TO BE Held
AT The HIGH SCHOOL FRIDAY
To Prove Excellent Test Of
DebaterS' Ability

A feature that is at once unique and
interesting in the life of the students
at the High School is the impromptu
debate that will occur next Friday af-
ternoon at the auditorium, feature in
which both the boys and girls will take
part. The debate will include the
membership of both the Lanier and
the Crisp societies.
The unusual nature of the debate
will make it of special interest, as no
debate of this kind has been held here
heretofore The subject of the debate
will not be known to the students until
it is announced just before the debate
begins The speakers who are to
champion the negative and affirmative
sides of the question are not to be
named until the question itself has
been announced. 1t will be seen from
this that the debate will in reality be
an impromptu one.
A debate of this kind is usually
tax upon the mental resources of even
college men, so that the high school
youngsters will do well to come off in
reditable manner. The stimulus given
by such a debate in way of promoting
Intellectual effort is helpful, and it is
likely that the impromptu debate will
be a feature at the High School after
one debate of this kind has been held.
