WILL RETIRE
FROM THE MINISTRY
Rev. j. b. McGehee VIII Retire After
81 Years of Active Service in the
South Georgia Conference.


A special phase of the South Geor-
gia Conference, which viii soon con-
vene in Cordele, and one that will be
of interest and regret to all South
Georgians who know him, will be the
retirement from the active ministry
of the Rev. J. B. McGehee, D. D., Who
is now stationed at Buena Vista.
For 81 years Dr. McGehee has been
actively and intimately associated
with the South Georgia church af-
fairs, and has been a prime factor in
the development of Methodism in
these parts. Many times he has been
appointed to assume the leadership
in some new and important move
ment, and his brethren have always
felt confident of the successful out
come of whatever work he might
have in hand.
DR.. McGehee will retire from the
effective ministry at this conference
and probably enter private life at
Buena Vista, where the people have
asked him to make his future home.
DR.. McGehee is native Georgian,
born in Houston county September g.,
1888
During his ministerial career of So
years DR.. McGehee has served on cir
cults and stations, and for 81 years
was a presiding elder. At one time
he was president of Andrew Female
College, and is now the oldest effect
i've preacher in South Georgia. In his
younger days he went as delegate
to the general conference for num-
Der of times.

WHEN YOU WASH YOUR
HAIR DON'T USE SOAP

Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much al
kali, which is very injurious,
as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil,
for this is pure and entirely
greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces. You can get
This at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub It In,
about a teaspoonful is all that
is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and Is
soft. fresh looking, bright,
fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, It loosens
and takes out every particle
OF dust, dirt and dandruff.

|CYNTHIA|
GREY'S
|LETTE RS

Dear Miss Grey: In dis
cussing the case of .R. 8. v.
Pr. it, seems that It would
be we'll to consider at this
point the origin of the "dou-
BILE standard of morality"
over which reformers have
walled.
Lewis II. Morgan, the
greatest American ethmolo-
gist. in his book, Ancient
Society,"" treats of the causes
of mans progress from saw
agery, through barbarism to
civilization. He shows that
external material conditions
have been the impelling force
in the development of our
moral ideas.
Woman once held the
higher place in the race as
the head of the family. In
primitive days, the descent
was reckoned through the
female line as 1t is among
the lower animals. AS man
began to accumulate prop
erty, woman gradually lost
her social standing and be-
came merely a breeding ami
NAL. Upon the death of a
man, the question of the
distribution of his property,
and Inheritance naturally
arose. OF course, he would
wish to leave the same for
his children to enjoy, but,
owing to the promiscuity,
was unable to determine
which we're his. Marriage
was then instituted. The
wife or wives must restrict
themselves to the husband;
thus it was known that any
children they bore were the
husbands, and were enti-
tied to the property. IL the
women were unfaithful, they
were punished, not from any
moral standpoint, but lest
the property be left to the
children of another man.
No such restriction existed
for the husband, and he
sought any woman he
pleased.
This from long custom
grad lily developed the
mo dea of one law for
woi. and another for the
man. So much for thee "di-
vine" institution of mar
riage.
The homogeneous union
Likewise originated in re-
Spouse to an economic con-
dition. With his crude
tools, primitive man was I'M
certain of his means of sus-
tenance, and while able with
hard toll to provide food for
one wife, naturally hesitated
about adding to his burden
by taking others unto him

/ The fourth division in my
standardized One-Step is the
cross-over chase. Rightly employ
ed, 1t should come Immediately
after the polka variation, follow
ing the forward and back plain
steps and the side glide.
At the conclusion of the polka
variation figure the dancers are in
a "semi-open" position, the .cava-
lier having his right arm partially
about his lady's waist, her left
arm resting right forearm. The
cavaliers left hand holds his
lady's right, the arms being held
before them a trifle below Shout
der height.
With the lady standing on her
left foot, her right being lifted
several inches above the floor in
front of her, and the cavalier
maintaining his poise on his right
foot, the left being lifted after the
manner of the lady's right, the
dancers now prepare for a cross
over.
In this figure the cavalier must
pass behind his lady, from her
left to her right and after exc
cutting chasse step on three
counts he must return again to
her left side ready to continue
the dance with another figure.
The lady, who remains in front
of her partner, moves only few
inches as the cavalier changes his
position. She must first step a
trifle away from him toward her
right, then again toward her left
and thirdly toward her left. Dur
ing this vancouver she releases
her cavaliers right arm with her
left, and skillfully extends 1t to
him over her head to her right at
the proper moment.
Beginning the cross-over chas-
Sc, the cavalier, from the attitude
already explained, removes his
hand from its place at his lady's
waistline, drops her right hand
with his left and turning to his
right on his right foot, takes a
step of about six inches with the
left foot-all these movements
being practically simultaneous on
the "one" count.
| On count two" the cavalier
takes a step with the right foot
of about four inches, and on count
three" one of similar length
with the left. These three steps
have, with the cooperating move
ments of his partner, placed him
on her right and q little to hel

Dear Miss Grey: Please
permit me to say a few
words in regards to r. s. V.
P.'s problem. 1t Is one phase
of the greatest problem in
the world-the economic.
Women, as men, vary in
their constancy-for exam
pie: The first man and r.
S. v. P. are guilty of the
same breach of convention;
he is constant, and she is
not. They are both subject
to conditions with which
they meet.
l do not agree with Gym
thia when she says that the
marriage law and the con-
ventions were made for pro-
lection of women. We have
never since man first chain
ed his brother in the field
been free from class rule and
as the great economist and
sociolOgist said. 1.-THE rul-
ing ideas of every age have
been the ideas of the ruling
class" Look about you and
you will see many other in
stances where the ruling
class say that 1t is right and
proper to have a double
standard of morals-for ex-
ample: If you steal a dollar
you go to Jail; IL you steal a
million dollars you go to
congress. IL you are rich
/. and go to all you get out
shortly; II not, you are more
apt to stay in. 1t depends
on who you are and what
you have.
Women are subject to
the double standard of NOR
ais just as the man slave Ia
subject to the double stand
ard Of honesty, and in nei-
Their case were they made
for the protection of the
subjective class; but rather
for the subsection of them.
Free your mind and you are
free from ridicule and con-
>tempt,"
i would like to know what
Truthseeker No. 2 means by
a single standard of morals.
Does he not know that a
free man has no morals? A
free man has nothing to con-
slider but facts, and he must
abide by the consequences
according to the laws of ma
.ture l thank you.
A PHILOSOPHER.
