Every pupil, in the assembly hall
was yesterday assigned to a different
seat. A number of Freshmen were
given seats up stairs, much to their
great 1eligh. and happiness. They
have a rather scared look on their
faces as they pass to and from the
assembly room, but TO doubt when
they oecoms little older they will
will become accustomed to walking
before 400 or more pupils.
The debating teams chosen over a
week ago are hard at work preparing
| for their first debate which will come
off on February %, it having been
postponed from the fifteenth. The
affirmative team will debate on that
night at the high school while the

visitors at the high school last week.
All three of these young men are at

There was a mass meeting of about
thirty minutes at the high school last
Friday afternoon. About a tenth of
the enthusiasm that should have been
manifested was shown. From certain
groups scattered about the hall some
noise was heard, but great deal
more could have easily been made.
Roderick Mcdonald was made cheer
leader in the absence of julie Young,
leader of last semester, who finished
last Christmas.
Following the mass meeting came

B. L. Dulaney Of Bristol, Tenn.'
made the charges in connection with
an explanation of why he believed the

it's officials.
He finished his direct statement te
the committee, but will go on the
stand to undergo cross-examinatlon D1
attorneys for the Southern railway.
Mr.. Dulaney said he once offered u
sell the control Of the Virginia Z
Southwestern railway to the soS5siisi'
for $500. 900. A bond issue Of $1,000,
900 stood against the line. HIS offe
was refused, he said, but later Henri
McHarg sold the line to the Southern
for about Sc, SOC, 900 with a profit es
timated at 100000.

Dallas, Tex.-With more than three
fourths of the total vote cast IN the
democratic primary election returned
here. it was regarded as certain that
James E. Ferguson of Temple anti-pro-
hibitionist, farmerlawyer-banker, had
been nominated for governor by a ma
jority of perhaps 10000 over Thomas
H. Ball Of Houston, former congress
man, who was chosen by a prohibition
state convention to make the race. 1t
also appeared certain that the demand
for submission OF a statewide prohibi-
ton amendment to the state constltu-
ton had been defeated by a majority
Of $1,000.
Returns also showed that no prohibit
zionist on the stata,ticket who had an
anti-prohibition opponent had been
nominated, except as to the two con-
gressmen-at-large, which result Is IN
doubt.
The result also was in doubt as to

uLnMATuM FROM AUSTRIA

Vlenna,-A wal which may involve
the whole of Europe is threatened Is
the result of the staying of ,Archduke
Francis Ferdinand and Austria's per-
emptory note to Servia demanding
that the government of that coun'ry'
in which the Staying occurred, give
a satisfactory apology and disclaimer
Of all connection with the murder.
The answer must be made soon
There is no notice Of Its coming; and
al extremely grave crisis has been
precipitated. Both Germany and rus
STA are preparing to take action.
Baron Won Gieslne Gieslingen, the
Austro-Hungarian minister at Bel
grade, mas been instructed to leave
seryia with the entire legation stat
if the servian government has moi
notified him that it agrees withou'
delay to comply with the demands o
Austria's note.
Although the peremptory character
of the ultimatum and the brief tim
allowed to Servia to reply came as
surprise to the Austrian public, tn
governments action meets with uni
versal approval.
The relations between Servia an
Austria were felt to have become II
tolerable. 1t was believed in Servl
that the time was ripe for the d1s
|i%ntegration of the Austro-Hungarla
empire and that Austria would sune
anthing rather than run the risk OF
European war. Hence Servian state
men aspired to bring Bosnia al
other Austrian Slav provinces unde
Servian rule.
Germans and Austrians have II
several years attributed the pa
trade in the monarchy and the crus
ing taxation caused by repeated mo
ilizations to Servian hostile intrigue
/. and there is a feeling OF relief, tner
, fore. that matters now have BET
t brought to a head and that Servla w
no Settled with once, for all.
