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.

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 the lands of this section, for the dell THE GREATEST SAU OF LADIES’ AND MEN’S UMBRELLA That Has Passed This Way.

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. Duncan Mercantile John R.
