pany with the French army since
going over, and has rendered distin-

dicating that he has shown excep-

that any man should be proud of.
Carrying the wounded men off the
battle fields to places of safety, and
rendering first aid where necessary
under fire requires the kind of "stuff"
possessed by this Witten family. All

shown their metal. In the near Tu-
ture the proper recognition will be
given these men who hlped put the
Hun across the Rhine, and made the

SECOND DEBATE.

The Chapman and Royal Societies
OF the Richlands High School held
their second inter-socicty debate Sat
urday night, April 20 The entire
program was oe u high order and re-
iiected great credit. not only on those
who took part, but on the societies
and the school as well. A spirit of
very keen rivalry between the society
members existed.
After the members of each society
had loudly proclaimed IN song their
loyalty to their side, the debate on
Government ownership of railroads
was opened. Messrs. Walter Elswick,
and Jones Repass made very strong
plea for the affirmative, while Miss
Vivian Yost and Mr.. Jessie White
came back very strong for the mega
tive. Each speaker had splendid
argument and each one was very eff
fective in delivery, II would be hard
to find four better speakers in higl,
school than the above named contest
ants, Both sids showed n thorough
study of the question, and plenty of
native ability to handle the argu-
ments of the opposition. The COM
mittee realized that the decision was
close one indeed, but it was unani-
mously of the opinion that the mega
tive, represented by the Chapman So.
ciety, had made little better show
ing. This team should by all means
enter the State contest at Charlottes.
