NOTICE â€" Carload of Corn to ar- rive this week, $32.50 per ton, cash off I Klmberley Won Debate j Defeated the Duncan Team 1 in Markdale on Friday I Evening Last j Kimberley debating team won the I shield on Friday evening last which I is ffiven by the Young People's j Leauge of the Grey Presbytery for j the best debating team in the soaiet- I ies of the district and are holders of I the shield during fche conung year. u The winning team was composed of j Miss Villa Ward and Miss Kathleen Hutchinson and the negative side was j ably defended by Miss L McKeo^^^l and Mr. Carl Humberstone. I The debate was between Duncan i and Kimberley and was held in the I Anesley United Church, MarUdale, with a fair crowd in attendance. The subject for debate was resolved "that Wealth Causes Greater Unhappiness than Poverty," and Kimberley took the affirmative side. Both teams J debated their points in fine merit and ( the decision was very close. A mis- understanding arose with the rules as those observed by the Duncan team as used on the northern circuit this year were quite different to those in use in this part. The mistake was greatly to be regretted as no doubt it resulted against Duncan to some ex- tent when they were allowed to use as many points as they could secure withot debating them in full while the other bide secured six points and brought out their discussion on these We believe the later way is the best; and the variance in rules was not known until the debate was about to commence. The Kimberley team fought hard this year for their victory and are to be congratulated in their perseverance The judges of the debate were: W. D. Henry and Mr. Donaldson of Markdale l&nd Rev. McCormackJ of Priceville, while the timekeepers were Mr. Weller of Duncan and Miss E. Burritt of Kimberley. Mr. How- ard Graham, convenor of the Literary department of the county, presided at the debate and Rev. F. N. Bowes presented the shield to the winning team. During the evening Messrs. Dundas, Bowes and McFadden gave a Liberal CamJidate Retires From Field R. H. Fortune Decides Not to Split the Drj' Vote and Leaves Fie'd to Oliver Following is His Letter To the Electors of South Grey: Ladies and Gentlemen, â€" In June last I was nominated at a convention' of the Liberals of .South Gi'&y, and| after consideration I accepted the no-', mination as an Independent Liberal j candidate, with the understanding: that I would be a supporter of the 0. , T. A. I Some time later Mr F. Oliver was nominated as the U. F. O. candidate, I and as I understand, also a supporter] of the O. T. A. Mr. Ferguson has now announced a general election and a policy which! means the destruction of the O. T. A., and in doing so has set at naught the will of the people and betrayed the confidence of a large majority of the Ontario electorate as expressed at the Polls in a plebiscite As I am informed Mr. Oliver has re- fused to consider the question of a fusion candidate in the interests of the O. T. A., and though I was first in the field, I have decided to put principle before party and retire from the contest, as I deem it inadvisable to split the votes of those opposed to the return of the Ferguson government. In thus announcing that I will not be a candidate in South Grey in the general election on Dec. 1st, next, I wish to sincerely thank all my friends in the riding who had given me warm assurance of support.
