with mud. This trench was called
"Whisky street." On u way up to

Euphsmisn Literary Celebration
The seth SemiLAnnual Celebra-
ton Of the Euphemian Literary So
ciety took place in the Erskine Au-
ditorium Friday night. As the wea-
Their was ideal a large sympathetic
crowd assembled at the appointed
hour to enjoy the splendid program,
which had been carefully prepared
by the various participants. In keep
ing with the spirit Of the times the
decorations YER beautiful in their
simplicity. The stage had been
made very attractive by the artistic
arrangement Of screens, society
c~olors, and pot plants. q,
In a few well chosen words Mr..
W. L. Miller, in the name of the 80
ciety, extended to the audience q
hearty and cordial welcome. Mr..
Miller was followed by the two
Freshman Declaimers: Mr.. D. G.
Phillips using "Webster's Reply to
Hayne." and Mr.. C. E. Mcdonald
delivered that popular speech "Hen-
ry Grady to the Homes. As both of
these young, men came from famil-
lies note for good speakers, they
measured up to the family standard,
and the high expectations Of their
friends.
Aessrs. N. G. Bigham and J.. A..
Jeter had been selected as the So
phomore DISCLAIMERS. Mr.. Bigham
delivered, 1.-THE True Greatness Of
Nations" while Mr.. Jeter used "One
Niche the Highest" Both these
young men showed careful training
and correct Interpretation Of their
speeches. t... /
An important part Of most cele-
brations Is the debate, and there
no exception to the rule on this
occasion. The quesk Resolved,
That civilization has been advanced
more by var than by peace" was a
question the audience was glad to
hear discussed. The affirmative was
represented by Hessrs. P. L. Grier,
Jr. mad +. F. Ballard, while the ne
gative was upheld by Aessrs. w. C..
Halliday and W. E. Blskely. Many
clear and lorcefuf arguments were
presented by both sides Of tho ques-
ton, and the average listener was
at sea az to which side had present
ed the greatest number Of points.
The judges, however, after careful
consideration rendered their decis-
ion in favor Of the negative. The
exercises were brought to a fitting
close with: "A Call to Patriotism"
by Mr.. R. L. Thompson, Senior
Orator. This thoughtful and time
ly address was delivered in a very
style. The marshals were:
d. L. Rambo, chief, J. N. Bigham,
n. G. Gault, and ]. C. Todd.
During the intermission between
the speakers delightful music wan
rendered by tho Aagill Orchestra.
