turned tomorrow morning.

mony late this afternoon and be ready TO-
morrow to give the court the name of
the person or persons who will have to

entS, Mr.. and Mrs. John Hall.

LIQUOR DEBATERS
ARE NEAR BLOWS
Session at HayfieId School
House Almost Broken Up.
Vets Win.
Special Dispatch to The star.

SpeClAI OlSp1ICu W 4n6 star.
WINCHESTER, Va, April 14.-Wets
and drys all but came to blows Satur-
day night at Hayfield school house,
west of here, when the question of the
success or failure of prohibition en-
forcement was scheduled for debate.
The building was crowded and while
the debate was in progress hecklers be-
came so insiStent that the chairman,
N. K. Larrick, had to call on assistance
to restore order.
Earlier in the meeting an argument
arose as to the method in which the
question was to be debated, and finally
the affirmative agreed TO debate the
question the way the negative wanted
it stated, that prohibition enforcement
has been a failure" The debate was
batting clubs, the former having been
challenged by the latter.
While the af1irmatives had the floor
one of the negative representatives
tried to interfere with the speech of
his opponent, but he was forced to sit
down when q clenched fist was thrust
under his nose. Five citizens acted as
judges, but instead of being the first
to pass upon the merits of the argu-
ment the chairman asked the audience
what they thought about it. The au-
dience voted unanimously that enforce
ment had been a failure. The judges
then decided, four to one, the same
way. The winning side was repre-
Sented by Ford and Howard Luttrell
and Oliver Goode, and the negative by
II. F. ClemmonS, A. D. Davis and the
Rev. c. H. Anderson.
