Annual Public Meeting of Lit
erary Societies.

The annual public meeting of the
Pierian Literary society which was
Eheld in the auditorium OF the s. @.
c. I. Wednesday evening last, was
altogether the most creditable of
its kind that has been held at this
institution in many years. A most
interesting and instructive program
was creditably rendered to large
and attentive audience.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. J. R. Walker. The
first number on the program was
reading selection by E. S. Dun
bar. This was "a humorous selection
in which was described the effects
of music upon an appreoiative hear
er. This number was decidedly the
hit" of the program.
The second number was decla-
nation, taken from Thos. Dixon's
Leopard Spots," by L. M. Smith.
This young gentleman acquitted
himself most creditably, and held
the undivided attention of the au-
dience by delivery that would
have reflected credit upon more
experienced orator.
The audience was favored with
two instrumental solos rendered by
Miss Thelma Bailey and Miss Sal
lie Mae Miller. By their artistic
rendition of difficult classic compo-
sitions, these young ladies displayed
unusual talent and showed most
careful training.
The query in the debate of the
evening was, resolved: THAT any
further annexation would be detri-
mental to the United States. The
affirmative was represented by l..
s. Cox and G. H. Burriss while G.
V. Huiett and A. E. Burns defend
ed the negative side of the question.
The speeches of these young men
showed depth of thought and a
careful preparation. Their manner
of presentation was especially at
tractive and called forth favorable
comments from all sides.
As the judges were preparing
their decision, the audience was en-
tertained by the chorus class which
rendered a medley of American
National airs. The twelve young
ladies composing this class rendered
this difficult selection in an artistic
manner that called forth favorable
comments upon themselves and re.
feeted much credit upon their dl-
rection.
The announcement of the decis-
ion of the judges was made by the
chairman, Mr.. Orlando Sheppard.
Mr.. Sheppard took occasion to
speak in the highest terms of praise
Of the exercises and stated that 1t
was indeed difficult for the judges
to come to decision. However,
they had finally decided in favor OF
the negative.
This..meeting has been pronounced
by many as being the most credlta-
