I am sorry that Jeffries got’ whip
ped. Yet I think that any white man
who would consent to fight with a ne
gro deserved to have the negro whip
him.
I think the white sports who urg?d
it on got what was coming to them.
I think the result of this fight will
make many white people mad’ with
negroes on general racial principles.
And will make many foolish negroes
impudent and will probably do much
racial harm and will probably result
in some manslaughters and murders.
I think the whole thing more dis
gusting than the Spanish bull fights—
brutal and brutalizing and unworthy
of twentieth century civilization.
I think that every state in the
American union should outlaw prize
fighting. I think that henceforth prize
fighting la on social equality with
Johnson, the negro.
1 hope the negro’s rulership in the
ring will ostracize It from the white
race. I am not against manly ath
letics of many kinds, but how brutal
fighting between men, where thie avow
ed purpose is for one to beat the other
with bloody bits can be called a “man
ly sport” I fall to see. And time was
when It was not thought an honor for
a white man and a negro to meet in
such a bout as the Jeffries-Johnson
The prize ring sports and gamblers
have debased their own game by giv
ing the championship to a negro. Let
it rest there forever. It Is more In
keeping with the brutal tribes of
Africa’s Jungles than with the suppos
edly civilized American white people.
Some brute may contest the champion
ship further, but no gentleman will
condescend to win it back. Let John
son have it. Let the gamblers pay
their debts and henceforth, champion
some nobler game.
It Is sometimes argued that such
sport makes men brave and good fight
ers in time of war. However/ when
real war comes the prize ring men
and hangers-on are not the one’s who
make great patriots. Men who fight
for their country are not gambling,
prize fighting sports.
I am sorry that the band played
"Dixie” at tbe brutal contest. That
tune is associated with honor that is
clean.
And as for “America,” that crowd of
toughs tried and failed. It was too
■acred for tbelr degraded’Ups. Think
of It:
"Our'father’s God to thee,
Author of Liberty,
To thee we sing. va
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light,
Protect us by Tty might,
Great God, our King.”
No wonder the Heno crowd could not
sing it! It would have been like the
devil at prayer—the essence of inap
propriateness and Irony.
A big black brute
And a big white bear,
And a big tough crowd to see them
fight.
A gambler’s vision in dispute,
Twlxt straight and kinky hair,
And a lost sense of rigbt.

Tilton, Ga., July 2.—Editor John
W. Greer, of the WIregrass Country
Magazine, has propounded rather a
unique question to the students of the
fuur agricultural schoo s of South
Georgia, namely those a: Tifton, Amer
icus, Douglas and Statesboro.
During the commencement ot the
Second District school the other day,
Mr. Greer offered in the name of the
magazine a gold medal to the student
of any of these four schools who will
write the best essay on the following
subject: ‘ The Influence of the Gulf
Winds on the Vegetation and Hu
man Temperatment of thie Wiregrass
Country.” The essay must not have
over two thousand words, it must be
sent to the Wiregrass Country Maga
zlue by December 25, 1910, and it
will be published in the magazine in |
its January number, 1911.
Mr. Greer called attention to the
fact thet the Gulf practically sur
rounds ti^3 Wiregrass country of
Georgia and Florida; that the winds
that sweep across this section from
the Atlantic to the Gulf all comes
from the Gulf stream and are tem
pered by its warm waters; the Gulf
stream runs up the Atlantic coast not
over thirty miles from Brunswick
and therefore thie winds from the
ocean are tempered by the Gulf wa
ters the same as those that come
directly from the Gulf. He claims
that these winds are the fertilizers of
vegetation in this section, being preg
nant with moisture, a great boon to
growing crops. He calls attention to
the fact that the Gulf stream runs
across the Atlantic and touches Eu
rope on the English coast and
these warm, mois{ winds, meet
ing Cf.TB the cold winds friom
the arctics, precipitates the mois
ture Into dense fogs, making that
country rather disagreeable, while the
same winds blowing across Southern
Georgia and Florida and not meet
ing the cold resistance, is assimilated
by the growing crops rather than
precipitated, and that this fact ac
counts largely for the abundance of
food products that can he grown

Mr. Greer also asserts that this
same Gulf wind, being mild and
moist, with a salt tinge, tempers the
nature of population In thds section.
He sees In the people here a quick
responsiveness, like that of the
mountain people, but not that rug
ged asperity characteristic ol the
mountain. He claims also that the
either from the Gulf or the ocean,
makes the nights cool In summer and
the days much more pleasant than In
other countries of this latitude and
that tbe constant stirring of the at-
mosplf.Te prevents tbe sluggishness
of hot countries.
He believes that If the students of
the agricultural schools of this section
will study the gulf winds, they will
find in them a wonderful source of
wealth to this section.
