LETTER BERNICE PHIL
LIPS AUTHOR OF POEM.
By “THE SUNSrT NE LADY.”
Joe and Mary sat on the bank o r
the river throwing sticks and gross
into the water and watching .hen: j
drift away with the erren .
“I wish we had a b wo c- ul
drift down the rive", to r , • r
“Yes,” his sister agreed. ‘ <
it be fun to go cut mi i.io os'
Where do you suppote the mi
would take us ”
“Don’t know,” Joe remark'
thoughtfully.
Soon Mary interrupted his thoughts
“Look, Jce,” she cried, “ here is an
old cat watching that lit le blue bir’
The bird does not see th' cat, and i
a minute the cat will catch it.”
Joe jumped up quickly ard r:n t
scare the cat away. The b r.
flew up into the branches of a little
tree close to Mary.
“Hello, blue bird,” Mary said. “Ye
almost got caught that time.”
“The blue bird sang a little song
for her, but Mary could not under
stand what he was trying to tell her.
They Meet a Fairy.
Just as Jce came back to sit down
again beside his sister the blue bir'
flew down to the ground near th m
and to their surprise they saw.ridi/ g
on his back a little fairy with a dres
the same color as tie blue bird’s fea
thers, and a wreath of tiny blue flow
ers around her head.
“You saved my little bird,” she
said to the children. “I will give you
anything you want.”
“Oh, give us a boat,” Joe cried, “so
we can go for a ri ’-e down the river.”
The fairy pointed to the water and i
there on the river bank wa° a pretty !
little white boat, just large enough |
for the two children.
“It is a magic boat,” the fairy told !
them. “It will never sink, and it will |
take you to visit strange plac s.”
Joe was so delighted wi:h the boat
that he nearly forgot to thank the
fairy, but his sister remembered to
be courteous.
“I must go now,” the fairy said,
“but I’ll see you again before long.”
So the children said “goodbye” to
her, and as she flew away on th
back of her blue-bird. J e ard M'ry
climbed into the middle of f e stream.
Then the river carried them away
with it.
“Where do you suppose we will
go?” Mary asked. Eut Joe only said,
“We’ll wait and see.”

McNatt Decisions
Williams at Tate’s
In the main go of the second fight
card staged at the new Tate Athletic
,arena before approximately 900 sat
isfied fans, Raymond McNatt, of
Memphis, Tenn., Jook a thrilling ten
round decision from the sturdy Stiffy
Williams. During the first three
rounds, Stiffy was the aggressor and
would have won all three but for a
foul and his failure for not heeding
the bell at the end of the third. After
the bell rang and McNatt started to
his corner, Stiffy landed a right,
flush on his chin and then gave him
rights and lefts to the face and body
until Mike Fargo, the popular referee,
separated them. Then McNatt went
to his corner, grabbed the stool from
his second and proceded toward Stif
fy’s corner, but was overcome by the
referee, seconds and trainers. Every
body could see that McNatt’s fight
ing heart and temper were aroused to
the highest pitch and this fight was
going to be nothing short of expec
tations.
Raymond was ready at the sound of
the bell starting the fourth and in
this round became the hero of prac
tically everybody there. The judges
gave McNatt five rounds, Stiffy three
and the other two even.
I The semi-final, between Jimmy
i Haggard and Joe Apperson, was a
I fight which should have been saved
for a mani-go, but promoters were
i willing to sacrifice it in order to show
the fans that these shows are going
'to be a success during the summer
. season. These boys fought eight fast
i rounds packed with action but with
the spirit of the immortal verse of
Grantiand Rice, which is:
“For when the one Great Scorer
comes,
To write against your name,
He writes not that you won or lost,
But how you played the game.”
The judges and referee were com
. -oiled to call it a draw.
Clarence Anderson took the four
.ound decision from Slick Smith, who
vas not anywhere in Anderson’s
lass.
K. O. Silvers, of Summerville, made
is local debut with a smashing
nock-cut over his lighter opponent,
teen Espy, of Trion. In the other
natch, Smock Davis outpointed Geo.
Garger, of Chattanooga.
Es arts are being made to get
Frankie Allen and Raymond McNatt
for the holiday card July 3. Watch

LEGISLATORS PLAN
NEW TAX REVENUE
TO FILL SHORTAGE
ATTACK ON BUS, TRUCK TAX
ALSO TAKES LARGE ANTIC
IPATED REVENUE.
ATLANTA. —Legislators took steps
Tuesday toward making up a $4,000,-
000 deficiency in prospective revenue
for Georgia’s $20,001,000 appropria
tion bill.
Representative C. J. Cogdell, of
Glynn county, suggested enactment
of a sales tax at a special session
contemplated for July.
A special tax revision committee
turned attention toward possibility of
placing a levy on intangible property.
At the same time, another special
house-senate committee prepared to
convene here Wednesday to recom-
I mend action to Gov. Rivers on the
suggestion of a July legislative meet
ing.
“Since the fiscal year starts July
1,” Cogdell said, “I feel we should
pass some law which will give us
revenue as soon as possible in the
year.”
Sees Sales Tax Inevitable.
Commenting on the 20 per cent, re
duction of appropriations to meet ex
pected revenue, Cogdell said:
“I see no way for us to get around
passing a sales tax.
“I may introduce such a bill my
self.”
Regarded as a pro-administration
legislator, Cogdell said the state’s fis
cal affairs were hurt when repeal
was voted down June 8.
“We were counting on at least $2,-
500,000 from a liquor tax,” he ex
plained.
“Now the bus and truck tax, sup
! posed to bring in another $2,500,000,
is under question.
“I am sold on the proposition of a
! sales tax and an increase in the
higher brackets of the income tax.”

Dress Simplicity Compulsory
One of the first acts of the general
; assembly during the French revo-
■ lution was the abolition by solemn
■ decree of all distinction in the
dresses of the classes. Simplicity
was the keynote in costume and
dark colors and cheaper materials,
especially cotton, took the place of
the silks, velvets, ribbons, and laces
of the former reigns. Fashion still
mirrored the events of the times,
both in the names of materials and
the articles of apparel. Straight
lines took the place of the pan
niers a few years before and a
masculine type of dress, borrowed
1 from the English, was the result.
“Best Man” in Hungary
In Hungary it is possible to hire

as best man is just about as far
I from the original role as in the north
pole from the south. Back in early
: Saxon days, the bride knight, or
best man, was the most faithful
friend of the husband-to-be. He had
to be for his duty was either to kid
nap the bride or fight off her rela
tives while the prospective husband
. made off with her. Only friendship
of the most enduring type could buy
