McDuffie Literary Society

The McDufie Literary Society
was called to order by the President
Friday afternoon at 4:3o o'clock.
We were delighted to have SO many
visitors present, Miss Helen Strom,
Mrs. Frank Logan, Mrs. Harry
Strom, Misses Jeanie Simkins and
Annabel Saunders. Before the reg
ular progam began, Mr.. Lyon made
motion that the society have a
public meeting some time in the
near future, and the society adopt
ed the plan.
A committee was appointed to
form a program and select a speak
er for this meeting. The first num-
ber on th. program was Reader.
Marie Holson and J. W. Hudgens
appeared before She society for the
first time and rendered splendid
paper of current events, s,-Declama'
tion, William Gainss, and the de-
bate followed. R solved: That
Mans Intellect is Greater than Wo,
mans" Affirmative, Sunie Talbert.
Eugene Timmons. Negative, EN-.
mie Broadwater, Strom Thurmond
Many impromptu speeches were
made, which helped to make the de-
bate an exceedingly lively one. Ed
win Folk, Lee Timmons and Lydia
Brunson were appointed to act as
Judges and their decision was rem
dered in favor of the affirmative.
We attribute this decision to the
fact that two of the judges were
bows. The following subject for
debate at the next meeting was
adopted. a Resolved, That the South
Will be Benefited by the Negro
Moving to the North" After the
report of the Critic, the Society ad-
journed.
The Edgefeld basketball team
will play the Johnston basket bail
team, Friday afternoon at Johnston.
This is the first game of the season,
ahd we want everybody to come
and yell for the E. H. S. Price l0c.
The flag, purchased by the pupils,
is now in position near the building.
Mr.. Lyon made a short talk in the
Chapel Monday morning, on how
we should respect and treat our
flag. He said it was cuftomary to
raise the flag at sunrise and low
er it at sunset, while the Star Span
gled Banner was sung. AS we are
not present at those hours, this GER
emony will have to be dispensed
with. However, there are numer-
Gus other ways in which our love
for the flag can be exhibited.
A very spirited game of basket
ball was played between the Edge
field high school and graded school
Saturday morning. The score was
l6 to Is in favor of the high school.
Some of the girls are developing in
to real star players. and here's hop
ing they will do good work Friday
in the game between Edgefeld and
Johnston.

They also held the writ OF prohibition
had been prematurely brought as the
council had not yet taken any action
TO call an election. They eontended
that the question Of opening the mo-
ton picture shows on Sunday was mu-
nieipal legislation and one upon which
the people Of Boise, operating under the
Black law, had right to vote upon.
1t was contended that the spirit OF
the Black law was to give the people
the right to vote upon Just such ques-
tons,
Attention was called to a supreme
court decision in this state in which the
Black law was held constitutional, and
especially to a portion Of an opinion
written by Chief Justice Stewart, in
which he said that the Black law
placed the sovereign power with the
people to make and unmake the laws
of their municipality.
Judge c. P Mccarthy, before whom
the question was transferred for the
reason that Judge Carl Davis felt
himself disqualified to act, because his
father was councilman, took the mat
ter under advisement and will go into
the cases cited to him by the attorneys.

SUNDAY THFATER
CASE ARGUED IN
DISTRICT court
Question of the Right of
Council to Submit the
Question to the People Is
Involved.

That the question Of opening the
motion picture theaters on Sunday is
not a municipal question, but state
question, one which is statewide in its
scope and involves every other city
which complies with the requirements
set out by the last session of the leg
islature, providing how they may be
opened, and therefore is not question
which can be submitted to the people OF
Boise under the provisions Of the
Black law, was the contention made
yesterday afternoon by c. F. Reddochr
former city attorney in his argument
in favor of making the writ Of prohi-
bition, to prevent the council from
calling such an election, permanent.
Should the same action be taken in
any other city in the state except
Boise. stated Mr.. Reddoch, the picture
theaters could open the first Sunday
after" the action and ii would be legal
and he contended it was legal here
but an attempt was being made te
pass the matter up to the people under
d referendum election, which, he stated
could not be done under the law as
the provision of the legislature was
that if certain things were complied
with, the picture theaters could be
opened for Sunday performances and
after that had been done it was uI
to the council to act upon that pro-
vision, it being left with them and MOI
question to be put UP to the people
He declared the provision could not be
| declared a law, as there was no penalty
for its violation and nothing to make
1t law, but was simply provision
put up to the council for action ant
which it had seen fit to accept.
Mr.. Reddoch cited numerous authori.
tics to the court in behalf Of his con
tcntion and Interpretation of the Law
and made a strong argument upon th'
question, raising a number Of new
law points.

extreme drouth and pests in the last
few years have practically ruined the
orchards Of Kansas and Oklahoma, and
he saw very few in Colorado on his
route. The great oil and natural gas
fields of Oklahoma and Kansas are
most wonderful, and great manufac-

have grown up there, which have
greatly augmented the commercial in
