Debate Held at Industrial In
stitue and College Last
Fridas Evening.
l. & N. IS DEFEATED
Fluent and Popular Delivery by
Ole Miss Boys Won Much
Applause.

Friday night in the chapel of
the Industrial Institute and COL
leges representatives of the Uni
iversity and of the A. and NJ. Col
lege met in debate. In grace
ful words Prof. Dabney Lbs
comb introduced the Rev. W. A.
Jordan, Of Starkville, who acted
as chairman. The question un.
der discussion was Resolved,
that the president of the United
States should be limited to one
term of six years" In champ
ioning the affirmative the repre-
sentatives of the A. and NJ. labor
ed under the disadvantage of
having to prove, in the opinion
of some, their contention beyond
shadow of doubt. Yet so MASTER
fully, so easily, SO gracefully did
Mr.. d. A. McCandlis and Mr.. G.
F. White attempt this task that
many thinks the decision of the
judges should have been revers-
ed. Mr.. NJ. V. Ames and Mr.. E.
Morse, for the University, were,
however, able to arise serious
doubtsin the minds oftwo judges.
and by their fluent and popular
delivery won much applause. The
judges voted two for the mega
tive and one for the affirmative.
This contest marks the begin
ming of a new epoch in intercol-
legiate debating. The shrewd
questions propounded by Mr..
McCandlis and Mr.. White indi-
cate that hereafter college de-
baters must be ready to give and
take. Repeatedly these gentle
men forced their opponents into
dangerous grounds. The ability
of the University speakers to re-
treat without meeting the attack
saved them from defeat. All
four speakers deserve praise for
their part in elevating collegiate
debating to this practical plane,
and reflect credit upon their in
structors.
At the close of the contest Mr..
McCandlis proposed that an
annual debate take place be-
tween the colleges, and the chair
man suggested that it be held in
the |. |. and c. chapel. The plan
meets the hearty approval of all.
After the ext rcises the young
ladies rendered an informal re-
ception to the debaters.

Exhibit, or Spring Opening which

the weather had been dreary all

on entering the store the trans.
formation from gloom without to
the enchanting loveliness of

beauty was indeed charming.
From ceiling to floor was one

building, being twined around
and on white trellis work which
hung from the ceiling in pretty
artistic designs. Over the shelv-
ing in the dress goods section
were arches decorated in apple
blossoms and foliage and each
arch was studded by electric
lights with pink and green
globes. Between each was set
a lamp post, eacelfop contained a
large electric globe IN the shape
of a tulip. Dress goods. silks.
crepes, ratines, linens laces and
many Of the new novelty weaves
were displayed beneath the
arches, the colors blending into
one another creating a very
pleasing and beautiful effect.

full and were very much admired.
Another novelty of the season
was an imported crepe robe, the
ground of which was of tan
crepe embroidered in silk and
zephyr in the oriental colors.
The white embroidery crepe
fiouncings were shown in a large
range of patterns.
The entire second floor was

way of skirts, waists, dresses,
