knitted" the Republican candidate
for congress in the Atlanta district, a
candidate supported by the Johnston
faction. The argument was stopped
by Chairman Slemp, who urged that
local politics be side-tracked for the
broader question of how to build up
the party in the South and what to do
about adjusting representation as be-
tween states that furnish large Re-
publican majorities and states that
cast but few Republican votes.
Mr.. Goree suggested that not only
should the national committee base
representation on the number of votes
cast but it should also regulate repre-
sentation in state anddistrict conven-
lions. He said it was outrageous that
some Georgia counties casting less
than 100 Republican votes had as
many delegates in the local conven-
ton as counties giving large Republi-
can votes, such as counties in the
Seventh and Ninth congressional dis
tricts.

INTERESTING MACHINE
FOR SCIENCE DEPARTMENT

In chapel Monday morning Mr..
Hall announced that he had bought
some new apparatus for the high
schol laboratory. This addition to our
laboratory equipment, is Planetar-
ian, small working model of the
planetary system. This machine is
SO geared that the whole planetary
system is laid out to the student. so
that he may see it in action, and &C
tually see the relative speed of the
planets. This machine is valuable
addition to the laboratory equipment.
1t has not yet been decided just how
this machine is to be paid for, but the
faculty is discussing the plan for put
ting on a high school play sometime
before the end of school.

Johnson HOME LOSS
ESTIMATED AT $500


The loss suffered by c. a. Johnson
on South Main street Friday morning
is about $500 instead of $1,000 as
roughly estimated Immediately after
the fire, according to statement today
by Chief W. c. Wilkerson. Water
damage was very slight. Burning
shingles were pulled off the roof by
the firemen to make possible the use
of only small amount of water. The
firemen attacked the fire at such close
range that water was thrown only at
the blaze itself and minimum OF
damage done Mr.. Johnson compli-
mented the firemen on their efficient
work.

alternates.
All three of the judges expressed
their surprise and appreciation of the
debates of the evening, which were
some of the best ever presented in the
high school for preliminary debate
of this nature.
The students have had but short
time to prepare these speeches, but
thea mount of information which was
seemingly dug from the earth, was
astonishing. All of the ten students
made an unusually fine showing, and
showed great deal of interest in the
event.
We can rest assured that Fitz- Hi

"The home life of the people is so full
of music that even the 'newsies' sing

"Red RAD to a eull."

1t is probable that the expression "a
red rag to a bull" signifying some.
thing which arouses wrath, has been
imported from Spain, where red cloths
are used In the bull rings, In order to
infuriate the animals before the mata-
dor makes his appearance. But bulls
are not the only animals affected by.
red. Many horses, especially stations,
are irritated by red; and turkey-cocks
attack wearers Of red most ferocious-
~, as do ganders. Physiologically,
red Is color which irritates and
fatigues the optic nerves; and so 1t
arOuses temper and produces quar-.
