Annual Public Meeting of Lit¬erary Societies.

The annual publio meeting of thePierian Literary society which was'held in the auditorium of the S. C.C. I. Wednesday evening last, wasaltogether the most creditable ofits kind that has been held at thisinstitution in many years. A mostinteresting and instructive programwas creditably rendered to a largeand attentive audience.The exercises were opened with

grayer by Rev. J. R. Walker. Thefirst number on the program wasa reading selection by E. S. Dun¬bar. This was .a humorous selectionin which was described the effectsof music upon an appreciative hear¬er. This number was decidedly the'"hit" of the program.The second number was a decla¬

mation, taken from Thos. Dixon's"Leopard Spots," by L. M. Smith.This young gentleman acquittedhimself most creditably, and heldthe undivided attention of the au¬dience by a delivery that wouldhave reflected credit upon a more

experienced orator.The audience was favored with

two instrumental solos rendered byMiss Thelma Bailey and Miss Sal¬lie Mae Miller. By their artisticrendition of difficult clatsic compo¬sitions, these young ladies displayedunusual talent and showed mostcareful training.The query in the debate of the

evening was, resolved: "That anyfurther annexation would be detri¬mental to the United States." Theaffirmative was represented by L. '

S. Cox and G. H. Burriss while G.V. Huiett and A. E. Burns defend¬ed the negative side of the question.The speeches of these young menshowed depth of thought and a

careful preparation. Their mannerof presentation was especially at¬tractive and called forth favorablecomments from all sides.As the judges were preparing,

their decision, the audience was en- jtertained by the chorus olass whichrendered a medley of AmericanNational airs. The twelve youngladies oomposing this class renderedthis difficult selection in an artisticmanner that called forth favorablecomments upon themselves and re¬

flected much credit upon their di¬rection.The announcement of the decis¬

ion of the judgee was made by thechairman, Mr. Orlando Sheppard.Mr. Sheppard took occasion tospeak in the highest terms of praiseof the exercises and stated that itwas indeed difficult for the judgesto come to a decision. However,they had finally decided in favor ofthe negative.
