The HatIess Man.

individuals who go about without COW

estine discussion by some OF our contempt
raries. The Savannah Press has discovered
that Mr. Hanafourde of that city, who IS
prominently connected with the Tri-State

90 bareheaded at all times, and Editor Sui

There are others who look upon the hat as
a useless article Of wear, and the Savannah
Press has overlooked notable parsonage in
Hon. Hooper Alexander, who is frequently
seen in the heat Of torrid sun OF summer or
the icy blast of winter wind walking the
streets of Atlanta hatess, and unafraid and
unconcerned.
The Valdosta Times, in a discussion OF the
subject, expresses the opinion that it is more
comfortable to go without hat in the rela-
lively cool summer days of temperate cline,
provided ones eyes are strong enough not
to require the shade of hat-brim, and be-
lieves that in moderation the practice may
be good for both the scalp and the hair in
asmuch as every variety OF soil and vegeta-
bic growth draws vigor from the sun.

The South and the Negro.

Columbia, S. c.. is wholly southern city,
one OF fixed ideas that have endured Tor
many generations. It's white population is one
that holds itself proudly, that has hrmly
established attitude toward the negro, good
and bad 1t is a part OF the old south that
perhaps never will change Perhaps the ne
groes Of Columbia would be glad if it never
did. For Columbians have just shown the
bigness of their hearts in paying tribute as
a whole community to the memory OF Uncle
Jaggers," famous negro character who de-
voted his life as a missionary to the poor
and died at the age of 90, having done great
service to humanity in the time allotted to
him.
"Uncle Jaggers" was born slave. He was
ordained a preacher when Is, and throughout
his life he abored as minister of the Atri-
can Methodist church. He sponsored many
charities He conducted negro mission and
an old folks home He asked money OF his
white friends and they gave it freely. Every
year. it is said, he put aside as his salary l
cent But the goodness of him was such that
the Columbia people saw to it that he had
food and clothing and shelter He wanted
nothing else.
A few days ago when Uncle Jaggers' was
buried all Columbia, by proclamation of the
mayor, suspended business. 1t has popu-
lation of more than 10000. Whites OF all
stations in 1ife~paused for reflection as Uncle
Jaggers" was carried to his grave. The most
distinguished men in the entire community
were honorary pallbearers. In his proclama-
ton Mayor Coleman said that few, if any, OF
Uncle Jaggers'" kind were left, and he
doubted "if we shall again have the oppor-
tunity to do honor to one of his race who so
richly deserved it"
Columbia has clinched the argument that
deserving negroes in the south cannot get bet
ter treatment anywhere else in this country
That cty's beautiful tribute to 'Uncle Jag
gers" worthy character and loved one,
proves that chivalry has not yet passed and
that sentiment has not died in the hearts OF
men.

Defense Day Plans.

! The government is doing just what 1t ought
to do. 1t is going ahead with its plans Tor
Defense day lust as though the political dema-
gopue and the timid pacifst had kept silent.
This is because the government sees its own
duty under the constitution as resPonsioili-
ty to all the people, even those who are pro-
testing against Defense day. Dawson and
other towns and cities in Georgia, at the re-
quest OF state authorities, will join in the
celebration
The army and navy departments will seek
to IMPRESS upon the whole country on Sep
TENDER 18th the necessity of having a defense
strength, one with its various units co-ordi-
mated and made effective. The nations de-
tense strength, by the way, is something in
which every taxpayer in the country has in
vested. not because the army and navy de-
Dartments demand it, but for the reason that
the government OF the United States, rep
resentative in principle and in fact, has pro-
vided it as a necessity. Some OF the pacihsts
and political demagogues seem to have the
impression that the military and naval es-
adjustments have been forced upon the peo-
pie. The police department the fire depart
ment and the school system are not forced
on city's population. The people want
these things and demand them. Incidentally,
they pay for them What happens when
man. the responsible head Of a family, takes
out life insurance or has his home or bust
ness insured against fire? An eloquent and
persuasive insurance salesman may sell him
policies that he does not think he wants but
as rule it will be found that every man
who seeks and pays for protection does 1t
because he desires it. The people wanted to
be protected. Their representatives IN con-
gress devised the methods of protection, and
also provided ways and means for the peo-
pie to meet its cost.
1t therefore is not a question OF pleasing
the pacifsts and pacifying the demagogues
when the government decides to take an in
yentory OF its defensive strength, but one
OF performing its duty to the people, who
through their representatives, asked Tor and
received ways and means of protecting them
selves against possible foes. That's all there
IS to this controversy over Defense day.
A nations defensive strength is not merely
the strength of its active and strong young
men. 1t takes more than mere fighting to
defeat an enemy. It is for this reason more
than any other that the war and navy de-
partments hope to arrive at better under
standing on Defense day of Americas de-
fensive strength.

He "Kidded'' Himself.

Norman Selby, former sheik of Hollywood,
and years ago, spectacular performer in
the prize ring under the name Of Kid Nc
Coy, has wound up colorfu1 career in a Jail
cell accused of numbering woman He had
had a love affair with her, which was one
Of scores he had conducted at one time and
another since joining the motion picture col
ony. For Selby, or Mccoy, was known to
be gay boulevardier, man who made love
where he wished and as often. He picked
them out here, there and yonder, and like
on to others.
Kid Mccoy may have thought that he
was having a wonderful time being free
lance lover He lived fast doing what he
pleased He denied himself nothing that he
could get, and the motion picture offered him
many opportunities to turn efforts into mon
ey. He was too successful with women-or
not successful enough. He could marry
many and did; he couldn't keep any of them.
But that made no material difference to Nc
Coy. There were others just around the
corner, and there he sought new ones and
different
Kid Mccoy "kidded" himself into believ-
ing he was living life at the flow. His pulse
may have beat faster at every new conquest,
but every throb Of it brought him closer to
the inevitable finish, disaster. If he had not
been mixed up eventually in a crime like
this it would have been disaster for him
anyway. He would have reached the end
broken and alone. Time would have come
when his way with women would have been
his no longer. And with competence inn
possible the way he lived, ahead of him
would have been either the poor house or
boxing benefits to keep him from starving
Kid Mccoy was his own gayest deceiver, and
he did that kind of thing better even than
he used to fight generation ago.

Do Not Become Discouraged.
From the Winder News.

How often we are defeated in our efforts
in life! And when these defeats come how
often are we prone to become discouraged!
In reading the lives OF the great and success
full characters of the world we find that they
won their way to success by overcoming the
difficulties along life's pathway, and by press
ing on in spite of defeats The following facts
connected with the life of Abraham Lincoln
should be an inspiration to every one:
When Abraham Lincoln was a young
man he ran for the legislature OF Illinois and
was badly swamped, He next entered bust
ness-fa1ed- spent seventeen years Of his
life paying up the debts of worthless part
ner.
He was in love with beautiful woman to
whom he became engaged-and then she died
Entering politics he ran for congress and
was badly defeated He then tried for an ap-
pointment in the United States land Office
but failed After this he became a candidate
for the United States senate and was de
feated,
In 1856 he became candidate for the vice
presidency, but lost the race. In 1858 he was
once more defeated this time by Douglas
In the face of all this he eventually became
one of the countrys greatest men, if not the
greatest.
How would you stand up in the face OF
such setbacks? Think it over.

The New Bad Check Law.

The Athens Banner calls attention to one
law of more than ordinary importance which
was enacted by the legislature at its recent
session, that of removing the allowance OF
80 days in which to pay check when the
person who draws it has no funds in bank.
Under the amended law parties giving
checks who do not have sufficient funds
on deposit in bank on which the check
is drawn are guilty of a misdemeanor
and subject to im1edate prosecution. This
amendment will, no doubt, cause many to be
more careful in the future in issuing checks
when their bank account has been exhausted.
1t is a good law, and one which will have a
good effect on checking the general issuance
of checks in settlement Of debts by unscrupu-
lous parties.
While the banks and those who are vic
Tins Of bad check artists will be reasonable
the new Legislation will, as our contempt
rary says afford those who have been i'm
posed upon an avenue of protection which
they have not had heretofore.

Taxation Takes Property.
From the Jackson County Herald.

That any state should conhscate all farm
lands and make tenants OF the occupants
would seem unbelievable. But the process is
under way, and at the present rate of progress
will be accomplished within the life time of
the present generation.
Dr. R. T. Ely of the University of Wis
consin, shows, by official tax records of
states, and also figures compiled by the bureau
of economies of the department of agricu-
ture, that the states will soon absorb all in
come of farm lands.
1t is a principle of law that to take the in
come from property is practically the same
as to take the property itself.
In Ohio farm lands between 1880 and 1920
increased in value from $45.97 to $11317 an
acre. while taxes from 19l3-192l increased
III per cent. In Kansas values increased
from $1098 in 1880 to $6230 in 1920 and
taxes III per cent from 1918 to 1921.
Since 1920 land values have decreased at
an average OF 20 per cent. Taxes on the other
hand, have shown the opposite tendency. A
statistical chart OF taxes and farm income
would show the line for taxes steadily curry
ing upward in the past eight years, and now
near to the line OF income. When it crosses
that line the work of conhscation is COM
plete.
The power to tax is the power to de-
stroy."

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
TOMATOES.

The classic orange, with its flowers, per-

a halo on the bride which frequently is JUS

of kindred tropic sweetes, of sugar cane and
senoreeties. But l choose rural themes like
Cato and sing the Bonny Best tomato. No
orange you have ever bit has got blooming
thing on it. I'm glad that when the summer
heats have made me choosy in my eats to-
matoes come with ripe red skins, brimfu of
health and vitanins. When winter RACES DER

when you see one grab it l bless the orange
on its journey from Florida or Californy.
No word of mine shall do it dirt, although
it's very apt to squirt, both in my eye and
on my shirt. But we whose wallets are not
weighty should stick to fresh and canned
tomaty, and suck its juicy vitamins till they
run down our double chins.
