In the semi-final of the debate ON

negative representation, but the con-
test was close, and all participants
were complimented by the judges for
the excellent showing made Izetta
Meyer read, in fine, clear voice, the
convincing arguments for the greater

The Holy CARPET of Turkey.

The holy carpet of Turkey is a gor-

with gold. 1t takes a year to make the
carpet, and the sultan of Turkey then
intrusts it to the Egyptian pilgrims to
place on the tomb of the prophet at
Mecca. At the end of that time it is
replaced by another carpet and is re-
turned to Cairo with great ceremony.
The right to carry the carpet has been

ALEXANDER III. STEPHENS.
Daisy st. Germain. Sth Grade A.


There was born in Wilkes County,
Georgia, boy who was one day to
become a famous man. This boy
was Alexander H. Stephens. After
his fathers death, he lived with his
uncle at Warren County, where the
superintendent of the local schools
sent him to an academy at Washing
ton for one year, and in the follow
ing year, 1928, he was sent by the
Georgia Educational Society to
Franklin College, where he gradu-
ated in 1882. He was a schoolmasteT
for about two years, and then, after
studying law for less than four
months, Stephens was admitted to
the bar in 1884. In 1886 he was
elected TO the Georgia House of Rep
resentatives, after a campaign in
which he was vigorously opposed be-
cause he had attacked the doctrine
of notification. Stephens had OPP
posed all eXtra-legal steps against the
abolitionists. He was annually re-
elected until 1871. In 1912 he was
elected to the State Senate, and in
the following year, on a Wing ticket
to the national House of Represen-
| tatiyes. In the last body he urged
the annexation of Texas, chiefly as a
means of achieving more power for
the South in Congress. Stephen sup
ported the Compromise Measures in
1850, and continued to act with the
Wings of the North. In 1854 Ste
phenS helped to secure the passage
of the Kansas-Nebraska Bill. Before
| the Georgia Legislature in 1860, and
again in that States secession con-
ventiOn, 1861, he strongly opposed
| secession, but when Georgia seeded,
he followed his State, assisted in
forming the new government, and
was elected Vice President of the
! Confederate States. He greatly
weakened the position of the Con-
| federacy by a speech delivered at
Savannah in 1861, in which he de-
clared that slavery was its corner
| stone. Throughout the war he was
so intensely concerned about States
rights and civil liberty, that he was
| opposed to the exercise of eXtra-cOn-
! OtitutiODal u-ar nouarS hy president
| Davis, lest the freedom for which
the South was fighting for would
be destroyed. Stephens power was
to preserve constitutional govern
ment in the South and strengthen
the anti-war party in the North, by
| convincing ii that the Lincoln ad
ministration had abandoned such
government
Stephens headed the Confederate
Commission to the peace conference
at Hampton Roads. He accepted the
war as a practical settlement of the
question of secession. He exercised
| a benefcent influence on the negroes
of his section, and promoted recon-
Citation between the North and the
South. In 1866 Stephens was elect
ed to the United States Senate. He
was a representative in Congress
from 1873 to 1882 and was then
elected governor of Georgia.
In all his life he had been remark
able for both his moral and physical
courage. He had been an able orator
of great powers of persuasion and
sweetness of temper.
On March 4, 1888, the brave, high
minded and truthful old man had
passed away, loved and revered by
the people of the North and South
and respected by good men every
where.

about 5000 yards is about as interest

would wish to play over. This GLIB
offered to arrange in its house a
private dressing room and shower
bath for the president, but he de-
clined the offer with the statement
that in the summer he would take his
shower right in with the boys"
At the Washington Suburban club,
the president is particularly fond of
the course He especially likes the
fifth hole, situated in sandy knoll
because 1t is so difficult to negotiate.
This club Is a Hebrew organization
and Mr.. Wilson enjoys its privileges
because his wishes In regard to extra
demonstration at his arrival, are al
ways considered and he comes and
goes there with the simplicity that
marks all OF his movements.
A country club Is OF great conven-
ience to any man, for 1t enables him
to enjoy all of the privileges of a
great country estate at small cost
and without the trouble attendant
upon maintaining one. He can hunt
over fine property, ride, drive and en-
Joy the outdoor pleasures and sports
