R. L. Calley vs W. H. Hopper (Missionary Baptist)
March 30, 1922
Hickory Plains, Tennessee
(By. L. R. Wilson)
Debated at Hickory Plains near Huntingdon, Tennessee for three days.
General church propositions. Rain fell all the night before and on the first day of the debate and began freezing about noon the first day. By night every thing was robed in ice. The weather did not moderate but a very little till the debate was over. The house was so open that the speakers did not remove their overshoes or top coats at any time during the debate. But in spite of all this we had a splendid audience every day. The very best spirit was manifested by the speakers during the entire debate, and we are sure much good will follow. The Baptists have already remarked that they expect to have a ten-day's debate there later, which is evidence that they are dissatisfied.
