Benton Opens Up.

Judge Benton opened his campaign in
Clark county to an audience which tax
ed the capacity of the house. Long be-
fore the appointed time, it was seen that
the court house would not hold the
crowd, so Judge Benton announced that
the speaking would be held in the opera
house.
The Judge launched into his record
and defended it. He then turned his
batteries on Judge Shqckelford who was
in the house and for sometime held his
record up for inspection. He made
some salty charges against the Judge.
the principal of which were that he had
been charging illegal fees as county
Judge and that he had no real expert
ence as practicIng lawyer such as was
demanded by the constitution.
This speech will call for one from
Judge Shackelford and all who know the
Judge know that he can deliver the
goods.
AS predicted some time ago in these
columns, the fur win fly when these two
gentlemen really get down to hard, old
time campaigning.

Many pleasant memories cluster about
this old school and when we remember
that many of the mothers and grand
mothers who graduated from thus insti-
tuition are living in our midst, forming
a part of the social and commercial life,
being part of the institution in spirit,
we should do all in our means TO help
make it one of the powerful institutions
of learning in the south.
In this connection it affords us pleas
ure to say that the institution has re
cived a check for over So, 10000 from
the U. S. Government in payment of the
long delayed calm for injuries received
during the war. Also some men of fl
uancial standing in the community have
promised to give generously to the sup

of this club. 1t was an event that had
been scheduled and had been in antici-

the audience with her exquisite playing.
Her notes were pure and liquid and

young lady and possesses charming
manner that added much to the success
of her playing. The many encores
showed the high appreciation of her
auditors Miss Norma Guinchigliani,
as accompanist, was at her best and

voice; her pure soprano was unusually
sweet and clear She readily caught
and held the audience with her beauti-
full singing. The chorus composed of
over twenty selected voices, gave her
strong support. Under the leadership
of Prof Koch as musical director, who
waved the baton as gracefully as a fairy S
wand, the music flowed as gently as a
southern zephyr.
The Hungarian Rhapsody, played by
Miss Hasemeier, was fitting finale for
