the problem as presented today.
He then asked what are to do?
The solution offered for this
problem was the repeal of the
14th and 15th Amendments.
This action, he maintained,
would leave legislators free to
deal with the problem openly.
That such action is possible is
shown by the fact, be said that
Northern people now see the
unwisdom of their war legisla-
tion and are unwilling to help
the Southern people solve this
problem without prejudice.
The Governor concluded his
speech with a matchess piece
of oratory in which he paid a
most beautiful tribute to the
women of the South. For two
hours he held the closest atten-
tion of his audience and after
he coseld his speech he spent
some time in shaking hands
with many of those who had
come to hear him.

In listening to Bishop Mou-
zon, we wonder at the secret of
his remarkable power lis an
orator. Rarely is there to be
found such a combination of
physical, intellectual and emo
tional powers. Tone, gesture,
eye, countenance, general ap
pearance, combine with vary-
ing thoughts and emotions to
produce veritable mountain
waves of irresistable oratory.
But what is the secret of his
power? It seemsto us to be
expressed in two words
thoroughness and intensity. He
mfty not have as wide a range
of thought and illustration as
some orators have, but his
thoroughness is evidenced by
the certainty and aptness of all
he says, and of his manner in
co ordination with his words.
But even more important than
hi* thoroughness is the inten-
sity that burns from his eye out
and countenance and tone and
thought into the very hearts of
his hearers. And these quali-
ties—thoroughness and
sity—if they mean ai
mean that he was, and is still,
a thorough and an, intensive
student.
In the afternoon the Bishop
addressed the young preacher
students, stressing indirectly
these very qualities of thorough
ness and intensity. He said
the preacher's chief duty is to
TREACH, and that to preach
successfully he must be a
thorough, conscientious, per-
severing student, and must
have the intensity of sure con-
viction and positive experience.
It is to be hoped that the s
d#nts of SouthWestern tnay o:

To those who were so fortu-
nate as to have received former
invitations, the announcement
that Miss Mabel Taylor would
be "at home" to a few of her
friends, was received with the
delight which always accom-
panies a most enjoyable even-
ing. To those who had not re-
ceived similar invitations be-
fore, the announcement meant
that they were invited to par-
ticipate in an evening of pleas-
ure, which Miss which Miss
Taylor s rare charms as a hos-
tess, assisted by her father and
mother, was sure to make one
of the most enjoyable evenings
of the season.
A noted fact about Miss Tay-
lor's parties, is that the form
of amusement provided always
departs from the conventional
"42" and the guests are initiat-
ed into the mysteries of games
and pleasures before undreamed
of, and, for that reason, all the
more enjoyable.
The usual custom was not de-
parted- from on last Saturday
evening. After all the guests
had arrived, the party was di-
vided into four" squads. Each
under a captain, with instruc-
tions to prepare to participate
in a track meet. The events
consisted of a "one yard dash,"
hurdle race, tug of war. foot
race, standing broad grin,
standing high jump, relay race
and other features of a track
meet. Mr. Taylor was the
offical announcer, Prof. Reedy
filled the exalted position of
score-keeper, and Prof Arbuckle
exercised his dignity as chief
settler of all disputes. The
method of conducting the track
meet was very novel indeed; the
tug of war, consisted of placing
a person on each end of a
string with an object fastended
in the middle of the string.
The one who chewed up his or
her half of the string and reach-
ed the object first, without using
their hands, won. The relay
race consisted in swallowing a
cake and being able to whistle
before anyone else could do so;
and thus the evening passed off
merrily and all too soon.
v The serving of a da'nty salad
and ice eourse completed the
evening's pleasure and there

receiving line, the guest of
honor. The spacious Carothers
home was elaborately decorated
with the fraternity flower, col-
ors and pennants. After being
greeted by the receiving line
composed of Miss Williams, Mr.
and Mrs. Lee J. Rountree, Mr.
and Mrs. Banner, Mr. Carothers,
representatives of the different
fraternities, and others, the
guests drifted into the various
rooms of the house. Here mus-
ic, conversation and novel
matching contests seemed to
speed the hours all to quickly.
In the dining room, a bower of
light and color woodland ber-
ries, and flowers blended with
the fraternity colors, was served
a delicious luncheonette con-
cluding with brick cream in the
fraternity and moulded in the
shape of the fraternity shield.
Those present were: Mr. and
Mrs. Rountree, Mr. and Mrs.

The ability of Captain "Bill"
Headrick has at last been rec-
ognized and he has been chosen
as right half back on the All •
Southwestern team and certain-
ly he deserves the honor. "Bill"
has been with us for three years
the first year he played as
tacKle, the second as fullback
and this year he finally came to
his own as a halfback. -By the
tjme he plays four more years he
will be the greatest halfback in
the South. The' coach who
picked the All-Southwestern
team has this to say sof Head-
rick in the Austin Statesman
for Nov. 27th:
"Headrick of Southwestern is
the best in the Association.
Headrick has the weight, the
build and the speed and can be
used in any formation of play.
Arbuqkle has a great player in
Headrick, and everywhere he
has been seen this year his line
bucking and end running, coupl-
ed with speed and good gener-
alship, has won the admiration
of every one. Headrick can be
relied on far a steady game.
He never gives up or lets down*
but plays his usual tfame regu-
larly."
