Pickens Wins and Loses

Last Friday evening the people Of
Pickens We're very highly entertained
by debate given in the high school
building by the Seneca and Westmin-
ister debating teams.
Seneca, Westminister and Pickcns,
belonging to the South Carolina Debat-
ing League, were placed in what is
termed a triangular group to debate
against each other No school could
debate on home ground, but all must
meet on neutral ground. Each school
must have two teamsone on the
affirmative and one on the negative.
Pickens sent her affirmative team to
Westminster to speak against the
negative from Seneca. Westminster
sent her negative to Pickens to meet
the affirmative from Seneca, and the
negative Of Pickens met the atiirma-
tive Of Westminster at Seneca. 1t
was ruled that before the winning
school would be allowed to go to Colum-
bia to final debate they must first win
on both sides Of the question; that is
their Affirmative and negative must
both win.
The school that will be allowed to go
to Columbia will be Westminster She
won on both sides Pickcns won on the
affirmative, but lost on the negative
Seneca lost on both sides.
We are very proud of our Pickens
boys. They handled the subject with
the greatest of ease, and with credit to
their school. The high school met them
on their return and made them feel
good by the enthusiastic greeting given
them.
The question debated was, RE
solved, That immigration to the United
States should be restricted by an edu-
Cational test. y
Beattie Simmons and Clarence Bowen
represented Pickens at Seneca, while
Milledge Griffin and Richard Halum,
ir, went to Westminster.

The advices state that the government troops at Vienna have mutinied, refusing to fire on the mobs, which are engaged in destroy rng property. The cause of the re- volutipn is said to be famine and distress of war, hostility to the gov ernment's servility to Germany, fac tional strife among the many races, an ardent desire for peace and the Socialistic influence of the Bolshe- wiki.

He said that he and Hitchcock has discussed the munition council measure with the president at the Whitehouse for an hour. He also produced letter written by the president in which he disapproved of the plan. In defense of the presi- dent, Senator James declared that he believed Wilson had referred to the war cabinet bill when he said he had not been consulted. Cham berlain charged that thousands of deaths which had occurred at train ing camps and cantonments, were due to the inefficiency of the war department. He expressed the belief that the president has been misin- formed regarding conditions. Sena- tor Kirby defended the administra- ton, declaring that nothing had de- veloped during the army investiea- tion to warrant much of the stuff" spoken in the senate. He admitted, however, that some of the shortages shown were due to the inefficiency of certain persons.
