PEOPLE WAKING UP TO THE UN-
SCRIPTURAL METHODS OF
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Dear Sir: I have been sea ding the
New Testament very closely to find
the plan that Dr. McCrae, of China,
was calling on the home churches to
come back to. I find the following
Scriptures emboddied in the 10th
chapter of Mtathew, 23; 6th chap
ter of Mark ;9th chapter of Luke;
10th chapter of Luke; 2 2nd chapter
of Luke; 10th chapter of John. This
plan as taught by Jesus Christ is as
far as the east is from the west, from
the way the preachers of today are
preaching it to the •hurches. There
fore, the present foreign mission
system is unscTiptural and unjust to
our horn echurcbes, and detrimental
to our nation.
The missionary churches of all de
nominations ought to call all of our
preachers and teachers from the for
eign field and put them to work- in
our own country, because the Cath
olics are trying to make our country
as strong a Roman Cathol c nation
as there is in the world. Therefore,
to save our free religion, our free
press, our free schools, our free
homes and our free conscience—to
save these liberties, let all denomi
nations call all of the preachers and
teachers away from the foreign field
and put them to work at home.
For the above reasons, I will give
one hundred dollars to any mission
ary Baptist preacher, D. D., in Geor
gia, to meet me in joint debate at
Marietta, Ga., and prove to me by
tie New Testament that the present
foreign mission system is scriptural.
T below to a Missionary Baptist
Church, that is the reason I prefer
to meet a Baptist preacher.
Very sincerely,
Georgia. J. P. YORK.
THANKS TO THIS GOOD LADY
FRIEND.
Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find
a list of twenty-one sabs and Post
office money order to cover same,
part renewals and part new subscrib
ers, for The Weekly Jeff. Please en
ter the new ones and send them the
next number, if you can, for they
are anxious for the paper. If times
were not so close, I cowld have double
the number; but. you know, the com
mon people don’t have much money
at this time of the year, and it is
the commei people who are your
friends, and it was the common peo
ple that heard Christ gladly when
he was here on earth.
Mr. Watson, you have built a mon
ument nHjre lasting than marble, in
your defense of the little factory
girl, and showing up the guilt of
Leo Frank, her murderer, though I
never had the slightest doubt about
his guilt from the first.
Well, I will have to ket the Mag
azine go for this time. Sure am
sorry to give it up, but haven’t the
money now; but if I can get up the
price I will not. do without it long.
God bless Mr. Watson, and M*ss
Georgia, and everyone connected
■with The Jeffs, is the prayer of one
that is a friend.
Ga. MRS. S. M. MORRI'S.
A BUSY MAN’S FLIER” FOR THE
JEFFS.
Dear Sir: I have been instru
mental in getting off lists for The
Jeff this time. I have been very
busy with fertilizers and could not
THE JEFFERSONIAN
do as I wanted to. T beg to here
with enclose list of twenty-four sub
scribers, with check for sl2 to pay
same one year each.
Yours very busy,
Ga. M. E. CHASTAIN.
AN ARKANSAS BOY OF THE
RIGHT SORT.
Dear Sir: My father has been
taking The Jeffersoman since I can
recollect.
The first time I remember seeing
The Jeffs was when the postcard
club was going on. Os course, I was
too young to notice your editorials,
then (as 1 ■am only 14 years old
now). But I read them now.
Mr. Watson, you have woke me
up to facts I wmuld never have known
otherwise. 1' like the way you han
dle everything.
Well, when you get to where you
have to shoot, call on me; I’m 6-foot.
I have brown eyes, am dark com
plected; and have dark, not black,
hair. You can guess what I look
like. I am an Arkansan by birth.
Well, my letter is growing long,
so will close.
Wishing you health, wealth and
happiness, I remain vour friend,
Ark. FLOYD H. WARD.
CAN SUCH THINGS BE DONE?
Dear Sir: Whenever you write
anything about the case of Leo
Frank, and you feel like exposing
the real Mature of the Jew, why don’t
you investigate the ease of the Jew,
Mose Jacobs, of New Orleans, La, a
big candy manufacturer, who, on a
holiday, got several little female
Children in Iris factory and commit
ted the same perverted act on them
that Leo Frank tried on Mary Pha
gan? For this act, the courts in
New Orleans sentenced Mose Jacobs
to a term in prison, which he did not
serve, as Jew money bought him off.
Another case to make interesting
reading would be the case of the
Ansley Hotel, of Atlanta, who dis
charged a lady dancing instructor
because she refused to show prefer
ence for Jews, in selling reservations
for tables at these dances. The Jews
threatened to boycott the Ansley if
J. B. Pound, the owner, did not dis
charge Mrs. Forbush. He discharged
her, and the Jews called the boycott
off. This occurred last fall.
Yours very truly,
GEORGIAN.

HE HONORS THE JEFFERSONIAN
BY GMTEROUS PRAlSffl.
Dear Sir: I am sending you a
club of eleven subscribers to The
Jeff. My son’s subscription expires
on the loth instant, and I do not
want to miss a single copy. I have
been reading your valuable paper
about one year and feel like 1' could
do without all other papers I take
rather than The Jeff. I could have
sent ven twenty subscribers just as
well as eleven, if money was not so
scarce.
1 feel like all the Common peo
ple ought to read your paper and
learn the many treacherous things
our Government is doing.
Mr. Watson, I feel the whole State
of Georgia ought to honor you above
all other men for the way you have
defended our grand old State and
her courts in the shameful Leo
Frank case. I feel like those Atlanta
dailies ought to be severely criticised
for having been so quiet in regard
to the Frank case, as the awful crime
was committed right tn their city. It
seems as if they would be more anx
ious to see that justice was meted
out to him than any others. It looks
very much like big money must be
cutting some figure somewhere.
I think there are many waking
from their slumber by reading your
paper. The common people are
standing by you in this section solid.
We hope to have a chance to vote
for you for President of the United
States in 1916.
Your true friend,
Ga. W. E. CALDWELL.

YES: HE IS A JESUIT.
Dear Sir: Will you please answer
the following, through The Jeffer
sonian or otherwise:
Is President Wilson’s private sec
retary a Jesuit? "
Thanking you,
Ark. A READER.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION? BE
CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO.
Dear Sir: I see in the Macon
newspaper that the editor is advo
cating compulsory education. This,
I think, is another step towards slav
ery.
Now, if the State of Georgia will
clothe and feed these poor little
children, and break up the. School
Book Trust, and furnish the children
school books free, then this compul
sory education would look much bet
ter to the people.
Most of the children in this coun
try have got no clothes to wear to
school, nor much to eat. They are
hard pressed by this money panic,
caused by our Democratic adminis
tration. This has been the most
corrupt administration since the
Declaration of Independence, 139
years ago.
If our Government keeps on lik©
it is, I am afraid there will be more
blood shed in America before long.
It has always taken the shedding
of innocent blood to wright a wrong.
According to the Bible, it took it in
the old prophets’ day, and it took
the Savior’s innocent blood, and I
believe it will take the innocent blood
of America to right this great wrong
that has put on the common
people and the laborers of today.
Mr. Watson, I take your Jefferson
ian, and ‘would not do without it. I
banded it to a man the other day and
old him to read it, and if it was the
truth, to admit it; and after he read
it, he said it was all truth. ~
If you like, you can publish this.
Yours trulv,
C. C. POWELL.

A SHORT COTTON CROP THIS
YEAR.
Dear Sir: I verily believe there
will be a good deal less than 10,000,-
000 bales of cotton made this year.
This is the 12th of April, and not a
seed planted yet anywhere around,
here. The acreage here will be Cut)
fully one-fourth, if not a third. At
least half the people will not use
any guano. They that are using it
are only buying about one-half of
what they formerly used, and are
using most of it under their corm
So, you see, guano here is cut 75 per|
cent.
I am one who is taking your ad
vice. Will not use any at all. I do
not believe it increases the yield
enough to pay all expenses that it
carries and then give you a net profit.
I know it didn’t last year, as cheap
as cotton was. I think a mighty
good way to reduce the number of
bales made, is not to use any guano
at all.
Now, let’s all that haven’t bought,
try this plan, just one time.
Yours very truly,
W. L. EDWARDS.
