Amateur Drivers Will Get a Chance to Show Their Wares In Events
GEORGIA SCRAPPER
 A CHAMPION AT r

Though hard to believe, all of thls time that the Central City lad has been doing his part to put Macon on the map in big capital letters, he has been doing so at the early age of Ii. Macon's favorite little boxer first saw the light of day, as the poet would say, on December 26, 1904. This isn't any fairy tale, for the family Bible proves 1t.
 Beginning his career in an Atlanta ring January IT last. the Macon flash has steadily fought his way to the top, first, among the bantams; next. the featherweights, and just now he is recognized as the best lightweight within the confines of his native state. Strib was just a mere lad. with the baby face, that caused fans from the feminine sex to exclaim, "Oh isn't he cute" when he made his in itial appearance on a fistic card, and he. Is still a kid. for that matter.
 In the fight game for recommenda- tioins as to his baby ways and gen tleness. outsiders can gather some in- teresting dope by interviewing Fear less Ferns, Freddie Boorde. Dick Leonard. Kid Peck. Rabbit Palmer. Joe Matranga, Mishound. Jimmy Waites. Kid "Cy" Young, Tim V DoWut hld bomD, Kid Bartlett anu a dozen others.
 Hasn't Lost Yet
 In the time that the Heart Of Georgia" battler has been waginE fistic combat in Macon. Atlanta, Bir- mingham, Savannah, Columbus and Milledgeville rings, he has indulged in 24 battles, and has yet to lose decision.
 Dick Leonard was given a draw with the Macon lad on questiona- ble decision in a Savannah ring; Fearless Ferns held him to even terms here on Labor Day, and Fred die Boorde fought the high school scrapper to a 10-round draw in Co., lumbus. Outside of these three bouts, Stribling has had an unchecked career.
 He has never fought over the 1o- round route. Pa Stribling, father manager. stated some time ago that under no conditions would he allow his son to go through Is frames un- til he had reached his seventeenth birthday. With his advancement in age, weight, height and experience the Macon youngster is now in fair way to meet the best of them In a 15-round contest, if such a contest be necessary.
 How He Has Grown
 In his first fight Stribling weighed IA pounds. In his last bout with Freddie Boorde here last Monday night his weight was announced as l3S. In Height he has gone up like the proverbial beanstalk.
 Despite the fact that Battling Budd is an Atlanta favorite, and that the bout Is to be staged in Atlanta, with Budd tipping the scales a well terweight poundage. Stribling is favorite to win the match. Budd in experience and ring cleverness. is said to have 1t on the Mason lad. One year ago a bout between Strib-s ling and Budd would have sounded ridiculous. but now, that 1t is billed. Stribling is the favorite to win.

Our Sacred Obligation.

Hundreds of wounded veterans of
the world war will march to the cap
ital at Washington today to make
personal appeals to the Congress of
the nation for justice and for relief.
The shameful figures which were
presented Monday at the opening Of
the convention of the National Dis
abled Soldiers League in Washing
ton Monday show that there are no
less than 65O,00O dis abled and sick
veterans in dire need of adequate
hospital treatment and rehabilitation.
It is a shameful thing that these
brave men who became manned while
serving their country should have to
ask that justice be done them in this
hour of their suffering and of their
need. Long have they waited for aid,
and now the time has come when they
can wait in patience no longer, and
to the chosen representatives of the
people in the sacred temple of the
Republic-above which flies the flag
of honor-they will say: "Shall
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1921-06-29

America be ungrateful? Shall the
government of the United States deny
US justice when we responded so 10y
ally to its call in its hour of need?"
In 1917 the government of the
United States told the men who en-
listed in the army and navy forces
that not a man would regret the day
of his enlistment beneath the flag,
and today it can be said in truth that
the wounded men are only asking
what the government pledged them
in the year of the opening of the war.
Beneath the little white crosses in
the fields of France today sleep TO-
900 Americans who died believing
that they fell for liberty. They were
inspired to fight with all the ardor
and devotion of heroes because they
were told that the American flag
was carried to the battlefelds in the
cause of humanity.
Never can we forget those heroes
lying there in the garndeur and in
the glory that belong to none but the
immortal dead. It is too true that
they died in vain, but they fell be-
meath the American flag, and died as
only heroes can die, and therefore
their memories are sacred to our
people.
AS we honor those who perished
in the struggle, so must we honor
those who survived it.. SO must we,
for the sake of the honor of the flag
have full regard for our sacred OBJ
ligation-the care of the manned
veterans.
We cannot escape that obligation.

The Study of Italian and It's
Relation to the Speaking
and Singing Voice.

Very often to the mind of the lay
man (and not seldom to the music
student) will come the question, as
to why the study of the Italian Ian
;guage seems to form SO fundamental
ly an inherent part of the course of
a voice student. "Why" they ask, sis
so much stress laid on this particu-
lar, tongue, what benefits come from
its use soastrongly urged BY all mas
ters, to the singing voice, that make
it different from any other of the
modern languages in which beautiful
songs and operas have been writ
ten?"
The answer to the above is found
in the statement given by an eminent
scientist of the English speaking
race, who claimed that the physio-
logical results of early learning and
speaking fuently the Italian tongue,
with it's open vowels and easy COM
binations of consonants, were inval-
liable in shaping the throat of the
individual to greater freedom, more
depth and breadth and aided in that
most wonderful of all requirements,
automatic adjustment of the vocal
L l.
No matter what part of the world
a Conservatory of Music may be es-
tablished, Japan, with its Oriental
tongue, Russian with its many let
tered alphabet, France with it's love-
ly brilliant court language, Germany
with the language SO rich in poetry
and in science, England, America,
where English, the about-to-become
world spoken language, no matter
where-the study of Italian forms a
large part of the study life of the
young singer.
To hear Italian beautifully spoken
(by no means common feat) as it
comes out of the mouth of an edu-
Gated individual, is to get the SEN
sation that it is language quite
without effort, its rising and falling
cadences resembling much the height
ened and lessened flow of murmur-
ing rivulet over smooth stones. This
sensation has given rise to saying
that "L'Italiano non ha gola," Gan
Italian has no throat) and as the ul-
innate goal of the public speaker and
singer is to loose completely all sense
of throat, it can be readily under
stood by laymen and students alike,
how great an aid to beautiful song
and speech, is the acquiring the use
of this Latin tongue, early in the life
of the student.

Miss Sue Adams Writes From
Winthrop College.

Dear Advertiser:
When went home some two weeks
ago I had not even an idea of COM
ing back to so lovely place at this
time. However, I am delighted with
my sudden decision to come.
There are about one thousand peo-
pie here, some young and some old.
The number of women greatly ex-
coed the numb Of men ] think the
M men i feel some elnb barrassment ID
coming to girls college and being
associated with so many clever wo-
men which makes their inferiority
more marked. Nevertheless, a few
have enough nerve to cheerfully join
in and bear it.
The majority of the men and wo-
men here are teachers who are fit
ting themselves for better and less
selfish work in training the children
of today who shall be the men and
women of tomorrow. Teaching is no
BILE work and one qualifying herself
for it should be of noble mind,
unselfsh and patient. There are girls
here who speak very crude English,
use the most uncultured pronuncia-
ton, and in fact know very little of
anything. These same frivolous girls,
who care nothing of childish ideas
and know nothing of the child's abil-
ity for learning, proclaim themselves
teachers.
This should not be. No wonder chill
dren form wrong ideas. They think
of a teacher as an ideal and indeed
expect them to know more than even
the best and most efficient may
know. Children expect all this. They
wonder why you don't know. They
wonder at your indifference in find,
ing out things they are interested in,
and how you ever got to be teach
er without learning.
We expect every American gen,
Grafton to be better. We study, plan
and teach with that prophetic view
We try to fit children for their fu-
ture. They will need to know more
than some of US. If we are common,
unpublished, illiterate and Indifferent
we can expect no more of the chill
den we teach. We can't pound
thoughtlessly on piece of clay and
expect it to become some beautiful
form. WeSmust think and work with
our thought.
AS times grow better only the
most capable teachers will be given
positions. If you are unfit someone
will find it out. You can't hide your
weaknesses every day in the class
room. If you have any ambition have
the persevering kind. If you like
teaching, teach, but above all things
LIKE 1T and LEARN 1T.
Teach in the winter and spend six
weeks of your vacation preparing at
Winthrop summer school.

cation Association which is distrib-
|Ited throughout the United States,
publishes statistics, derived from the
United States Bureau of Education
for 1918, showing as compared with
allthe other States in the union.
That South Carolina has the
smallest number of citizens who can
read with the single exception of
Louisiana.
2. That South Carolina spends
the smallest amount per capita for
the education of the children in pub
FlicEschools.
8. That South Carolina has it's
public schools in operation the small
est number of days in the year-11O.
That South Carolina has the
smallest percentage ofboys and girls
attending high schools-2.2 per cent.
85. That South Carolina has the
smallest number of free public libra
rfiies-1.09 per cent.
20. That in all educational lines
South Carolina averages the lowest
in the country-occupies the 48th
place.
Thus is our beloved state adver-
,tised to the entire world.
II this condition is not true, we
ought to prove it; if it is true, we
ought to correct it.
The churches are doing great
things in higher education; let them
also rally to the Improvement of the
public schools, which make the col
leges and universities possible.
The Baptist State Convention last
winter took the lead and memorial
