Jackson, Miss., Nov. 24.—A great stir
hat been occasioned .In Mississippi by
a letter that was read at Oulfport dur
ing the meeting of the Daughters ot
the Confederacy. This letter was writ
ten to Mrs. Judge Kimbrough, of
Greenwood, some time before Mrs. Jef.
ferson Davis died, and Is alleged to
be a defense of why she permitted the
body <jt her husband to bo burled In
Richmond and why she lived In New
York Instead of Mississippi, her native
state. In this letter she Is alleged to
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
sissippi ever since the legislature short
ly after the death of her husband re
fused to grant her a pension, as was
proposed by her friends. The bill was
Introduced in the legislature, but was
bitterly fought and never came up on
tho 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 havo seen the letter say
that. these guesses are correct. Mrs.
Kimbrough has been bombarded with
letters and telegrams from papers In
ahd out of the state, asking that the
letter be given out for publication, and
It Is probable thnt she may give It out
wihln the next few weeks.

In Atlanta that surpasses Mr. Wicker
for thorough work. He Is an able

deeply spiritual. He says some ot the
funniest things In the most reverential
way ot any man I know. He has great
ly gripped our congregations. The Tab

MONEY IN A NUTSHELL.
Reed Pecan Grove. Tissue Shell Pecan Nuts.
THE CROP THAT PAYS
Neither frosts, drouths, rain* or heat affect the yearly augmenting produce of the Pecan Tree.
The Reed Pecan Grove
Is over ten years old. No waiting for results—the 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, heretofote enormous, has ceased
at the
REED PECAN GROVE,
i and there remains only 'the expense of gntliering and marketing and the thousands of tons ot hay mowed
four times yearly, meet all expenditures.
Listen to the opinions of newspapers, growers and marketers of the
PECAN NUT
Atlanta Constitution: “What else Is there. In all the realms of finance, manufacturing, trade or agri
culture. to compare with the possibilities of pecan culture?”
Atlanta Journal: "Georgia trees are-producing 220.00 worth of pecans. A crop never fatls. When an
orchard Is established It means a fortune to the owners." / >
Tlmes-Democrat. New Orleans, La.: "An Investment for a young man that will pay him twenty fold at
middle age. and fifty fold when he growa old—an endowment for hts children and grandchildren—one that
will j*y better than stocks, bonds, or any huslne** enterprise.*'
Mississippi Horticultural Society: "One, pecan tree yielded this year over 1250.00 worth of nuts; one
pecan tree grow over 1,000 pounds In one seasqp.”
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
Increase, with age.”
Professor 11. E. Van Deman, ex-Pomologlst: "Pecan trees will beat an Insurance policy ten times
over. They yielded profitable crops for a century. The market for the nuts Is unlimited."
, Georgia Commission of Agriculture: "No Invsstmsnt could be better than planting pecans.”
State Etymologist: "Many old people are planting the pecan tree for the sake of their children, and
many young people are taking nn Interest In pecan culture because they expect to reap abundant reward."
Stone A Co., Thoinnsvllte, Ga: “The pecan tree Is bejter than a lire Insurance policy, government
bonds or a bnnk account." *
J. T. Brown, Waycrose, Ga.: "A pecan grove Is better and surer than a life Insurance policy. The best
inveatment anyone can make. I sold from a 12-year-ohl tree 388 worth of nuts."
ft A. Halbert. Coleman, Texas: “I told from*my Halbert pecan tree $150 wortli of nuts. I would not
sell that tree for 31.009.”
J. F. Jones.' Montlcello. Fla.: "Demand for pecans Is unlimited. They sell for higher prices than any
other nut. My crop sold for 50c a pound wholesale In New York the past two seasons.”
Dr. J. B. Curtis, Orange Heights, Fta.: “I have trees nine years old that yield 50 pounds of nuts,’and
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. E. Pabet, Ocean Springs, Miss.: "From 20 trees In oni season Isold over 2800 worth of nuts,"
O. D. Faust, Hamburg. S. C.: "My trees at ten years, old bore at the rate of 3159 per acre. At fifteen
year* the yield was (300 per acre. No Investment pays better than a pecan grove.”
HOME EVIDENCE.
West Point Inter-Btate Herald: "We have the Reed pecan grove, which ls one otthe finest and largest
In the South. It Is Just beginning to bear nicety. There Is no reason why this grove should not make the
owners and their children rich."
Does not the evidence prove the proposition that an Investment In the Reed pecan grove Is the safe,
the profitable and beat Investment?
Safe beyond question, and splendid Income assured. Is an Investment In the capital stock of the
REED PECAN COMPANY.
What It the *
REED PECAN GROVE
worth today? Trees paying (10 each are worth )100 each; paying 125 each. 1250 each. Only mutlply 3,500
trees by *100 and the Reed Pecan Grove Is worth (250,000 today. What will It be worth In 1008, with Its
512,310 income? Or the year aftqr with 155.500 Income?

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES: JTMIIIIIHI *1
WHAT IT MEANS TO CITY B[|K[ |, pj,
How the PubLc Can
Aid Society in .
Its Work.
By RABBI DAVID MARX.
The Associated Charities of Atlanta
has no less an aim 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 ot
one’s cctisdenee or the satisfying of a
generous heart, through thoughtless
gifts to the worthy and unworthy alike,
this organisation has wisely outlined
Its general purpose to attack poverty
by investigating the causes that lead
to and hold tn dependency those who
seek relief at Its hands.
It Is not "only another society for
alms-gtvlng.” It no established
fund to be utilised for the needy,
prefers to place the worthy poor In di
rect touch with existing charity organi
zations or with Individuals who desire to
help the unfortunate. Its usefulness,
therefore, depends In great measure
upon the co-operatfon received from all
churches, charity organisations, work
ers amongst the poor and Individuals
who desire to help those who are In
want and are worthy of assistance.
What the laboratory Is In the field of
chemical and physical research, It* of-
flee I* In this branch of sociology. In
vestigative and determinative. Investi
gating causes and dstermlnlng the best
methods to be followed In doing the
least harm and the greatest good to Its
beneficiaries. Such a task Is of the
highest Importance. It la an act of In
justice to claaalfy all the needy under
one head. There Is the needy man who
ie so because he refuses to better his
condition, and there Is the needy man
who Is so because of weakness In one
direction or another. Financial help to
the former is a premium placed upon
Idleness; to ths latter It may be a stay
until he glows strong enough to light
out unassisted the battle of life.
Problem is Complex.
The problem is complex In Its char
acter and presents many divisions and
sub-divisions. It demands In Its solu
tion the continuous guidance, co-oper
deep heart feeling and of clear mental
outlook who, moreover nre willing to
serve, but the demands of a busy world
do not allow them sufficient time to de
vote hour* dally to th* taak. And yet,
the worthy needy ones are to be as
sisted and must be assisted while
frauds and chronic beggSrs must he
wisely dealt with. Everybody’s busi
ness soon becomes nobody's business,
and as a result harm corns* to the com
munity or the etate; the worthless re
ceive the aid that should go to th,
worthy, and continue to grow more
worthless, while the beneficent, whose
goodness of heart has been Imposed
upon, defeats the very Intention of the
gift and aids In pauperising men and
women who. If properly dealt with,
wqutd eoon learn the dignity of him
who rejoices In the work of hts own
bands.
The Associated Charities has as IU
objects. First, the thorough Investiga
tion of all case* that come before It;
second, the securing for applicants as
sistance adapted to their condition;
third, obtaining employment for ttiose
able and willing to work: fourth, tho
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 the fraud;
sixth, the providing ot the poor with
helpful friends whose patience. Influ
ence and example will teach habit*
of thrift, self-control and Independ
ence. e -
It Is a gigantic work and requires
stout hearts and brave souls. Your co
operation I* asksd. The plan Is simple.
Before you extend help to an appll
cant for relief Inquire at the office of
the association for Information con
cerning him. HIs rase may already be
on record. If so, you will receive all
information relative to him that the
files contain. If hi* case Is not a re
corded one, the office will make full
Investigation for you, If you so deal re,
and report to you. Should you per
chance be assisting any case without
tile aid of the office, co-operate with
the office to the extent of reporting that
you are caring for that case.
There will he no publicity attached
to such report- You will merely be
safeguarding the office and the recip-
