Special to The Georgian.
Jackson, Miss., Nov. 24.—A great stir
lilts been occasioned in Mississippi by
a letter that was read at Gulfport dur.
Ing the meeting of the Daughters
the Confederacy. This letter was writ,
ten to Mrs. Judge Kimbrough,
Greenwood, some time before Mrs. Jef-
ferson Davis died, and Is alleged
be a defense of why she permitted the
body of her husband to be burled
Richmond and why she lived In New
York Instead of Mississippi, her native
state. In this letter dhe is alleged
have passed some severe criticism on
former Governor Lowry, of this city,
and other prominent Mlsslsslpplans for
what she termed their hostility to her.
General Lowry Is the commander of the
Mississippi division of the United Con
federate Veterans, and Is prominent
in politics and social life.. Mrs. Davis
had been very much put out with Mis.
slssippl ever since the legislature short,
ly after the death of her husband re.
fused to grant her a pension, us was
proposed by her friends. The bill was
Introduced In the legislature, but was
bitterly fought and never came up on
the floor. Somehow or other the letter
that was read at Gulfport was never
printed, and the newspapers have been
making guesses at what It contained,
and those who have seen the letter say
that these guesses are correct. Mrs.
Kimbrough has been bombarded with
letters and telegrams from papers ,in
and out of the state, asking that the
letter be given out for .publication, and
it Is probable that she may give it out
wthln the next few wefeks.

The whisky men have been holding

strictly necessary for them to raise the

MONEY IN A NUTSHELL
Reed Pecan Grove. Tissue Shell Pecan Nuts.
THE CROP THAT PAYS
Neither frosts, drouths, rains or heat affect the yearly augmenting produce of the Pecan Tree,
The Reed Pecan Grove
Is over ten years old. No waiting for results—(ho results are here. No off-seasons; every year hits. They
grow ever Increasing barrels of nuts.
Expense of buying land, purchasing trees, planting and cultivating, heretofore enormous, has ceased
at the
REED PECAN GROVE,
and there remains only the expense of gathering and marketing and the thousands of tons of hay mowed
four times yearly, meet all expenditures.
Listen to the opinions of newspapers, grower* and marketers of the
PECAN NUT
Atlanta Constitution: “What else Is there In all thp realm* of finance, manufacturing, trade or agri
culture, to compare with tho possibilities qf pecan culture?"
Atlanta Journal: “Georgia trees are producing $20.00 worth of pecans. A crop never falls; When an
orchard Is established It means a fortune to the owners."
Tlmes-Democrat, New Orleans, Lai: “An Investment for a young man that will pay him twenty fold at
middle age. and fifty fold when he grows old—an endowment for his children and grandchildren—one that
will pay better than stocks, bonds, or any business enterprise."
Mississippi Horticultural Society: “One pecan tree yielded this year over $250.00 worth of nuts; one
pecan tree grew over 1,000 pounds In one season.”
United States Department of Pomology: “The cultivation of pecan nuts will soon become the greatest
and most profitable Industry.” ' •
Department of Agriculture: "The pecan tree will bear annually for hundreds of years, and the yield
Increases with age.”
Professor H. E. Van Deman, ex-Pomologist: "Pecan trees will heat an Insurance policy ten times
over. They yielded profitable crops for a century. The mnrket for the nut* Is unlimited."
Georgia Commission of Agriculture: “No investment could be better than planting pecans.”
Btate Etymologist: “Many old people are planting the pecan tree for the sake of their children, and
many young people are taking an Interest In pecan culture because they expect to reap ebundant reward." '
Stone & Co., Thomnavllle, Ga.: “The pecan tree Is better than a life Insurance policy, government
bonds or a bank account.’’
•J. T. Brown, Waycroa*, Ga.: “A pecan grove Is better and surer than a life Insurance policy. The best
Investment anyone can make. I sold from a 12-year-old tree $53 worth of nuts.”
H. A. Halbert. Coleman, Texas: “I sold from my Halbert pecan tree $230 worth of nuts. I would not
sell that tree for $1,000.”
J. F. Jones, Montlceilo. Fla.: "Demand for pecans Is unlimited. They sell for higher prices that! any
other nut. My crop told for GOc a pound wholesale In New York, the past two Besson*.”
Dr. J. B. Curtis; Orange Heights, Fla.: “I have trees nine years old that yield 50 pounds of nuts, abd
they sell for 50c a pound."
William Nelson, New Orleans, La.: “An Investment in a pecan grove Is the safest Investment. The
returns are absolutely sure.”
C. Hi Pabst, Ocean Springs, Miss.: “From 20 trees in one season Isold over $300 worth of nuts.”
O. D. Faust, Bain burg, S. C..’ “My trees at ten years old bore at the rate of $150 per acre. At fifteen
years the yield was $300 per acre. No Investment pays better than a pecan grove.”
. HOME EVIDENCE
West Point Inter-State Herald: “We have the Reed pecan grove, which Is one of the finest and largest
In the South. It ls Just beginning to bear nicely. There Is no reason why this grove should not make the
owner* and their children rich.”
Does not the evidence prove the proposition that an investment In the need pecan grove Is the safe,
the profitable and best Investment?
Safe beyond question, and splendid Income assured, Is an investment in the capital stock of the
' REED PECAN COMPANY.
What Is the
REED PECAN GROVE
worth today? Trees paying $10 each are worth $luo each: paying $25 each, $250 each. Only mutlply 2,500
trees by $100 and the Reed Pecan Grove Is worth $250,000 today. What will It be worth In 1908, with Its
$32,850 Income? Or the year after with $16,500 Income?
The directors of the
REED PECAN COMPANY
at Its meeting on November 19, passed up a dividend of 7 per cent, payable to January 1 to 10, 1907. Yet
the owners of a large block of the capital stock wish to realize ready money, for the purpose of promoting
other enterprises, and offer their holdings of gilt-edged, full paid, non-assessable securities, at par value $10o
each, 3-4 shares $75; 1-2 share $50; 1-4 share $25, and 1-10 share $10. Cash 3 percent discount; time, one-

How the Public Can
Aid Society in
Its Work.
By RABBI DAVID MARX.
The Associated Charities of Atlanta
has no less an atm than to be of gen
uine service to the needy and dis
tressed. Recognising that charity Is
rather the dealing Justly with those who
are Its recipients than the easing of
one’s conscience or the satisfying of a
generous heart, through thoughtless
gifts to the, worthy and unworthy alike,
this organization has wisely outlined
Its general purpose to attack poverty
by Investigating ths causae that lead
to and hold In dependency those who
seek relief at Ite
It l* »not “only another society for
alrns-glvlng.” It hae no established
fund to be utilised for the needy. 4
prefers to place the worthy poor ln>dl
rect touch with existing charity organl.
zatlons or with Individuate who desire to
help the unfortunate. Its usefulness,
therefore, depends in great measure
upon the co-operation received from all
churches, charity organizations, work
ers amongst the poor and Individuals
who desire to help those who are In
want and are worthy of assistance.
What the laboratory ts In the field of
chemical and physical research. Its of
fice Is In this branch of sociology, In
vestigative and determinative, investi
gating causes and determining the best
methods to be followed In doing the
least harm and the greatest good to its
beneficiaries. Such a task la of the
highest Importance. It la an act of In
justice to classify all the needy under
one head. There Is the needy man who
Is en because he refuses to better Ills
condition, and there te the needy man
who Is so because of weakness In one
direction or nnother. Financial help to
the former is a premium placed upon
Idleness; to the latter It may be a stay
until he grows strong enough to fight
out unassisted the battle of life.
Problem is Complex.
The problem Is complex la Its char
deep heart feeling and of olear mental
outlook who moreover are willing to
serve, but the demands of a busy world
do not allow them sufltelent time to de
vote hours dally to tha task. And yet,
the worthy needy ones are to be as
sisted and mutt be asslstsd while
frauds and chronic beggars must he
wisely dealt with. Everybody’s busi
ness soon becomes nobody's business,
and as a result hann comas to ths com
munity or the stats; the worthless re
ceive the ajd that should go to the
worthy, and continue to grow mora
worthless, while the beneficent, whose
goodness of heart has been Imposed
upon, defeats the very Intention of the
gift and aids In pauperizing men and
women who, if properly dealt with,
would soon learn the dignity of him
who rejoices In the work of his own
hands.
The Associated Charities has as Its
Objects. First, the thorough investiga
tion of all esses that come before It;
second, the securing for applicants as
sistance adapted to their condition;
third, obtaining employment for those
able and willing to work; fourth, the
placing of those who are able to work
and refuse to do so under proper cor
rectional Influences; fifth, the protec
tion of the public against the habitual
beggar, the vicious and th* fraud;
sixth, th# providing of the poor with
helpful friends whose patience,. Influ
ence and example will teach hsblts
of thrift, self-control and Independ
ence.
It te a gigantic work and requires
stout hearts and brave souls. Your co
operation Is asked. The plan Is simple.
Before you extend help to An appli
cant for relief Inquire at-the nfflce-of
the association for Information con
cerning him. His case may already be
on record. If so. you will receive all
Information relative to him that the
files contain. If his case Is not » re
corded one, the office will moke full
Investigation for you. It you so desire,
and report to you. Should you per
chance be assisting any case without
the aid of the office, co-operate with
the office to the extent of reporting that
you urn caring for that case.
