BI T THE POPE HAS PERSUADED
THE KAISER TO EXONERATE
THE PRIESTS OF LOUVAIN.
Dear Sir: I notice in the state
ment given out by the German gov
ernment concerning the destruction
of Louvain, a few incidental expres
sions upon which I wish to comment,
by your permission of space. This
report states in one place, “depots
of arms were found, where to each
gun was attached the name of the
citizen to be armtftl.” T find in an
other part of this report the follow
ing words; ’’The priests were caught
handing out ammunition to the peo
ple.” This report also goes on to
state, that arms were not carried
openly, that women and young girls
took part, in the fight, and blinded
our wounded, sticking their eyes
out.” It seems to me in this general
report, I can see a verification of
what you have so earnestly and un
ceasingly claimed, concerning the
Roman Catholics" storing away "arms,
for use in cases of emergency. It
seems to me that I can see those
Roman Catholic priests bringing out
those guns from concealment, and
conveying them to their rightful
owners (whose names are on them)
through the Catholic women and
girls. That is why the reporter
claimed that they were not “carried
openly.” I conceive the idea that
this unlawful uprising of the sub
dued Belgians, was not of “Govern
ment” sanction, but of Jesuit origin.
1 offer this suggestion for the con
sideration of your readers, with
your sanction.
Yours in patriotism,
Fla. J. D. AUSTIN.

A GEORGIA COTTON FARMER
MAKES A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Dear Sir: Please allow me space
in your paper to show that the farm
ers have no legal protection on what
they raise to sell in the United States.
I have asked Congress and Senate
to enact laws to protect the farmer
on the price of cotton he raises in
the U. S. to sell to the cotton mills
and consumers of cottop here. The
farmers can not raise cotton for less
than 12 cents per pound lint, and
make a decent living. This Govern
ment or the cotton mills and con
sumers should advertise how much
cotton they will take yearly, in their
county papers for 30 days in Jan
uary each year. Then the farmer
can cut acreage to supply the de
mand. We farmers are not raising
cotton in Europe; and Europe has
not the authority to control the
price of our cotton. The U. S.
should fix up her side right and pay
us the worth of our cotton.
There will be thousands of acres
of land that will lay out next year
on account of such low prices: and
no legal protection for the farmer
to live decent on these prices of his
products at present.
There should be law's fixed this
way. Not allowing any lint cotton
to sell for less than 12 cents per
pound in the U. S. It should be a
felony to sell lint cotton for less
than 12 cel ts, and both persons
should serve three years in the
chaingang, both seller and buyer,
THE JEFFERSONIAN
for selling cotton for less than 12
cents. The legislature could help
that matter out, and the farmers too,
also the wealth to the U. S. that this
law would increase in products
raised here; where under the pres
ent system the farms will lay out.
There has never been an over
production of products raised in the
U. S. There is an over-production
of swindlers to beat their living out
of the poor farmers and claim Eu
rope .as the cause of low prices. Why
not make the farmer’s laws protect
ing the worth, and value, and price,
to his products that he raises to feed
all the people, so he can live decent,
and let live decnt.
Mr. Farmer, the European war has
nothing to do with the cotton that
you raised in the U. S. to sell to
the U. S. cotton mills, and consum
ers of cotton. Why not the consum
ers of cotton pay us the worth of it
and buy from us farmers at 12 cents
per pound lint. Respectfully to all
the readers of the Jeffersonian.

DON’T YOU BOTHER THIS
FARMER!
Dear Sir: I have been reading
after you ever since I knew' you, and
I sure do enjoy it. Now brother,
don’t get mad. I was turned out of
the Baptist church a few years ago
for talking this, but have been re
instated, and am 'in good standing.
If we wan’t to destroy a tree, w®
dig it up by the roots. Isn’t all of
this about the Pope of Rome caused
by the lie the Devil told in the Gar
den of Eden, when he said “thoix
shalt not surely die, but shall be as
Gods.”
Now, as to Mr. Hoke Smith. I
think he has been driven out from
the Lord and gone to the land of
Nod, where Cain went when he knew’
his wife. Now I own a little farm
down here in Richmond, and if he
sends anybody down here to tell me
what to plant I shall tell them that
I can tend to my own business, with
the old woman to help me.
Very truly yours,
Ga. J. W. HADDEN.
THIS MAN IS WILLING* TO MAKE
BELIEVE HE’S A BELGIAN, IF
IT GETS HIM FREE LAND.
Dear Sir: I want to ask a com
ment of you. 1 saw a few’ days ago
where some one was boosting for
the Belgians. They went so far as
to say that Georgia should bring
them over here and give them the
use of teh land, free of charge, for
at least one year. Mr. Watson, is
there a land renter in the State of
Georgia who has had the use of
land free of any charge? I am a
person of 21, and I can recollect
since before my teens, and I cannot
recollect of my father tilling the soil
of free land. Why don’t the big
land owners try and help their home
folks before they go ahead, and then
see if things would not look better?

FROM ONE OF OUR VALUED OLD
FRIENDS.
Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find
P. O. order for SI.OO for the renewal
of The Jeffersonian. I cannot do
without it, I always long to see Fri
day come so I can get my Bible. It
is the next thing to the Bible with
me. Hoping that you may succeed
and conquer the Hog-eye man is my
prayer, and also the little Tom W.
Hardwick. I have voted twice for
Hardwick in my life when he first
came out, but I never have voted
for the Hog-eye man in my life, nor
I never shall as long as I am in my
right mind. With best wishes, I am
your devoted and sincere friend.

MR. CROW HUNTING FOR THE
FOOL KILLER.
Dear Sir; I have wanted to say
a few things for a long time, and I
also enclose a paragraph clipped
from the Florida “Baptist Witness,”
published at Arcadia, Fla., handed
me by our Baptist minister here.
You may have seen it. There are
lots of such, as the fellow that
moulded that paragraph. Since the
election last week I have been won
dering and trying to solve a prob
lem, so I have concluded to just call
on you to help me out. What has
become of the Fool Killer? Has he
got disgusted with the big job be
fore him and struck for higher
wages, or gone to Europe to operate
there for a while? Any information
■will be appreciated by your Uncle,
Fla. SAMUEL J S CROW.
P. S. If that W. M. Crow of
Texas, whose dad traded the under
pining of Atlanta for the blaze faced
pony is what I take him to be from
the tone of his letter and if he see's
this, and will w’rite me of his an
cestors I may claim kin with him.

UNITED STATES SERVING ITAL
IAN POPE IN MEXICO.
Dear Sir: The enclosed clipping
will explain itself. I presume that
there are dozens of them sent you,
but if it should happen that there
are not, this will answer the purpose.
How well I remember what you said
in the Jeff some five or six months
ago, that when the atmosphere
cleared up, we would find that the
only reason the soldiers were in
Vera Cruz was to protect the persons
and property of the papists. This
dispatch seems to confirm to a “T”
your prediction of that time. I was
at a loss a few days ago, to under
stand why the Scottish Rite Masons
demanded the removal of the sol
diers. It isn’t hard to explain after
reading the reasons for ordering the
removal of the troops.
It does seem like the irony of
fate, that after these worthies had
sniped our troops, from the towers
of their churches, and had been
caught with the goods, that they
should be protected by U. S. prestige*
and soldiers, and given every con
sideration, and anybody else who
would do it would be forthwith shot.
I hope the time will come when we
will have an administration, that is
American enough to mind their own
business, and not try to protect with
U. S. money, the disturbing element
’of a foreign oligarchy, who have no
other mission in life than to attempt

SMITH.
Editor Macon Daily Telegraph,
Macon, Ga.
I notice in some of the papers,
you Democrats want to strike the
names of the ones that voted against
Hoke Smith. Now, if it ’.takes vot
ing for Hoke Smith to stay in the,.
Democratic party, strike my name
with something as broad as a broad
axe dipped in coal-tar, and publish it
to the world. I voted for Brown in the
primary and voted for McClure Nov.
3rd. I differ from you. I believe
it necessary for tw’o political parties
in the South. The common people
of the South are not recognized in
Washington City any more than a lot
of dogs, by this Democratic Congress
you boast so much about. You throw
out a good many slurs about Roose
velt, but Roosevelt has been tried
in the President’s office and he made
a better President for the common
people than Wilson has.

No More Desire
for Tobacco
Arthur Krouse is a locomotive fireman wjio
had been using tobacco since he was a boy.
About two years ago he began to have spells
of illness. His memory was getting very bad
and his eyes bothered him a good deal. He
had tried in vain to conquer the habit until he
got a certain book and now he is freed from
the thraklom of tobacco and his health is won
derfully improved. Anyone who desires to read
the book can obtain it absolutely free by
writing to Edward J. Woods, C 651, Station E,
New York City. It tells how the habit of
smoking, chewing or snuff taking can be con
quered in three days.
