The contest is the closest one ever
known in the conference, the merits
of each chapter being very nearly

Another fight is developing since
the meeting Tuesday night of the
Epworth League board, in which the
recommendation was made that the
Epworth League conference take over
the ownership and operation of
Northwest High school, situated at
HaleyVille, Ala. According to l.. G.
Alverson, the principal, there are ITO
acres of land, s34. 900 worth of prop
erty, an administration building and
a number of faculty houses. 1t is
estimated that the upkeep of the
school will amount to $500 annual

issues of the "Nacel' came out during
the winter but further editions were
suspended pending better measures of

place Saturday but is too far away
to excite very much interest because
of the prominence of other issues.
The committee on nominations will

entire absence of campaign platforms
that marked the last days of the
meet last year.
The afternoon athletics consisted
of volley ball and tennis games. The
Birmingham panthers won the volley
ball series from the Bessemer camels
and Dr. McCleskeys composite team

of the same sport.
Further games are to be played to-
morrow. a tennis tournament will
probably be played off between dis
