DRANE LESTER OF BATES
WILLIE AGAIN REPRE-
SENTS OLE MISS
His Third Victory in the Prelin,i-
nary M /. O A Contest

Monday evening in the Univer-
sity Chapel, in the presence of the
two Literary Societies, The Her
mean and the Phi Sigma, the pre-
liminary Mississippi Intercollegiate
Oratorical Contest was held. There
were three contestants for the
honor of representing Ole Miss in
the state contest to be held at A.
& M College in May These were
Messrs. Williams, Melvin and Les
ter. All of the speakers did them
selves credit, Mr.. Williams speak
ing on "Individual Preparedness"
Mr.. Melvin on "The Invincible Am
erican Spirit" and Mr. Lester on
Wanted; Higher Citizenship"
DR. Milden in announcing the result,
stated that the judges had found
no difficulty in awarding the de-
cision to Mr.. Lester, he having won
by a good margin. Mr.. Melvin was
awarded second place, while Mr..
Williams won close third
This is the third time that Mr..
Lester has had this honor bestowed
upon him, and we are confident that
this time he vii bring victory to
Ole Miss when the state contest
comes off. Heretofore Mr.. Lester
has been handicapped because of his
youth, but now he is able to put
more force back Of his words, which
have always been perfect in diction.
His present subject is especially
we'll handled, and there is every
reason to believe that it win prove
ia winner.

OLE MISS ENGINEERS
| HAVE CELEBRATION
ONE DAY HOLIDAY.
ONE
Big Banquet, Chapel Exercises, Ad-
dress by DR.. Hume, and Base Ball
Game Feature Festivities.

| The Ole Miss chapter Of the Guard
of Saint Patrick let the campus and
the world in general know. that there
was such an organization in exist
ence, when they took a day off
last week and held all manner Of
fitting celebrations. The fun began
for the engineers, with a banquet
upon the Tuesday night before st.
Patrick's day, which lasted until
about midnight and was marked by
good eats and excellent speeches as
well as much merry making in gen
eral. Then on the next day chapel
exercises were turned over to the
engineers and the stage was graced
by the Apollo like figures (?) of the
senior Engineers. After a few fit
ting remarks in which he told the
history of the chapter here and out
lined some of it's purposes, Mr.. Nc
Dowell addressed the chic speaker
of the occasion, DR.. Alfred Hume.
DR.. Hume explained to the audience
that he was sure he was last
choice and that accordingly. no mas
terpiece of oratory should be expect
ed from him. Nevertheless he de-
llivered mastery speech in which
he set forth the achievements of the
engineers and touched upon the
work still left to be done by them.
He explained very infinitely the diff
ference between an engineer and
one who is often wrongly so term
ed. He closed his address with a
glowing tribute to the engineer and
his work. That afternoon at three
thirty o'clock the faculty and the
engineers crossed bats in a game of
baseball thereby affording the spec
tators more amusement they had
had in quito a while. The chapter
of the engineers here is but little
more than a month old, and UNI
doubtedly great things are to be ex-
pected of this organization in the
near future.

"The Early Diagnosis of Syphilis"
General discussions followed each of
the papers. DR.. Hiram Byrd of the
University presented in short but
interesting talk some of the recent
revelations as to the venoms of the
various snakes found in this Sec
ton.
The program was much enhanced
by music by the University Orches-
ira and violin solo by Mr.. Frank
Tate Harvey.
After the program was completed
DR.. B. S Guyton made the very
pleasing announcement that a spec
ial dinner had been arranged for
the visiting physicians at Gordon
Hall. He further extended an invi-
tation from the Faculty of the Med
lical School to the students of both
medical classes to be with the men,
bers of the Association at this din
ner. Accordingly the Association
adjourned to Gordon Hall where a
delicious four course dinner was
served.

DIR. Barksdale Makes Interesting
Talk. Other Good Speeches.

On last Wednesday afternoon the
North Mississippi Six-Counties Med

quarterly meeting in the University

the afternoon was given by DIR.
Barksdale of Winona, who told OF

We DISTRICTE SCHOOLE.

Last Thursday evening, after tht
study Of books five and six Of the
Odyssey, the Greek Club enjoyed
one Of the most enjoyable social
evenings Of. the school year, thanks
to the social committee, which was
composed Of Misses Hutchins, per-
manent chairman, Phillips, and Sis
Ter and Messrs. Pickens and Row
I sey.
From beginning to end the whole
program was success. There
seemed to be a slight incongruity
about the study hour but we are
sure that if H ,mer could have look
ed in on the queer group, his sense
Of humor would not have weighed
his satisfaction in the rendition Of
his masterpiece. The readers were
Misses Clarke, Kitchell, Mebane,
Scott, Lemasson, and Sisler and
Messrs. Jackson, lights, and Grit
fifth.
After the discussion, the meeting
was turned over to miss Lucy" the
school marin. She introduced her
star class of second-graders, who
sang in sweet, piping, young voices
"Good Morning Dear Teacher" This
was followed by debate, the sub
ject of which was: Resolved, it is
better to be on the inside looking
out than on the outside looking in"
Izzy lights and Minnie Bailey
combatted affirmatively against Bill
lie Pickens and Annie Meban@ The
negative won on general principles,
their strongest argument being the
testimonial Of one, who had been a
prisoner for twenty years-that con-
WINGED the judges who had been to
school for a short time themselves.
Johnnie Rowsey sang School Days
very creditably indeed, except for
he kept his eyes tightly closed and
stood on one foot the whole while.
Tommie Waugh Grated about
"Spartacus to the Calculations" Spar
,a,us may have said some Of the
things that Tommie did. But all
of them! Well, we doubt it.
Bette Greenlee gave a piano
solo. It was very good jig but
we don't remember just what.
Sallie Dean recited an eight line
poem-that is poor Sallie said the
first word and teacher prompted her
over the others.
Friends, Romans, Gountrymen,
as acclaimed by Sammie Griffith
awed the whole school into silence.
The spelling all was quite en-
Tightening. There were SO many
who could not be spelled down that
anybody, who wanted to, could draw
for the prize and Ikey Zeller got the
medal He had been spelled down
only twice. The prizes for best cos
tunes went to Sallie Dean, almost
unanimously, and to Johnnie Row
sey, who tied with Billie Pickens
but took the prize away from him
by draw.

LEGION MINSTREL
WAS BIG SUCCESS
EXCELLENT ENTERTAIN-
Crowded House Witnesses Good Elk
hibition Of Dancing, Good Songs,
And New Jokes.

The Minstrel given at the Lyric
Theatre in Oxford last Friday night
by the Ole Miss Post of the Ameri-
can Legion, was the best show, bar
ring none, that has been witnessed
by the University Community this
year. Replete with funny jokes,
humorous situations, fine solos, and
several songs by the Ole Miss Quar-
tette it was well balanced per-
Torrance. Coach Sullivan occupied
the chair of the interculocutor and
performed this part in most
creditable manner. After the open
ing chorus and some witty sayings
by the end men, Mr.. McLarty scored
a hit with, 80, How She Can Dance"
Next came Mr.. Riddell with, 90
What A Pal Was Mary" Mr.. Hen-y's
rendition of ''The Blues My Naughty
Sweetie Gave To Me" was well re-
ceived, as was Mr.. Mars Carolina
Sunshine" Mr.. Mars is possessed
of one of the best male voices that
has been heard at Ole Miss in quite
while. Mr.. Bobo and Mr.. Doxey
followed with "Slow and Easy, and
"My GAL" respectively, both OF
which songs were well sung and
acted. All of the above numbers
were encored repeatedly. Messrs
Doxey, McLarty; Henry, and Bobo
scored big hit as end men and
kept the audience in an uprorar OF
laughter. The "Ole Miss Blues
written by Coach Sullivan and sung
by himself and the end men may
probably be termed the hit OF the
evening. The words We're catchy
and dealt with local conditions in
way very amusing as well as pleas
ing to the audience. This number
also was encored repeatedly. In the
old time revival which followed
some very clever exhibitions Of thu
buck wing and clog dances were
given. The Ole Miss Quartett'
composed of Mr.. Riddell, Mr.. Nc
Gahey, Mr.. Mullen and Mr.. Long
then rendered some selections which
were greatly enjoyed. These fou
students made up a quartet which
put to shame the recent Lyceun
Quartet which was here. All of tn
voices in this number were good ant
blended together perfectly. Encor'
after encore was given them, ant
their medley of songs was probabl!
their best number. Mr.. Henry will
the aid of his guitar and voice en-
tertained the audience for quite
while. He proved himself a pas
master at picking the music box
and his catchy songs made decld
ed hit. He responded to four O
five encores and each time was ap
plauded as vigorously as before
Then came the. final NUMBER 9Th,

TO TAKE them under advisement, to

tlmony, and to examine the law ap-
phca0Ie thereto before rendering a
decision. In criminal matters I have
attempted to be fair and impartial,
and protect the best interest of the
state as well as those accused.
But IN all cases, at all times, I
have attempted to be courteous to
the jurors, the litIgants and the law
yers, and allowed both the litiga-
tors and their attorneys every lati-
tude allowed under the law. in de-
Gliding a case, a judge cannot please
both sides; he can only decide as he
believes to be right, alter fair and
impartial consideration Of the case.
This l have done. NO NAN CAN
