A SONS” ARE ROMAN CATHOLICS! Dear Sir: Your message at hand. I cannot toll you how thankful I an for your kind wishes and encour aging words. I receive so many such letters from aii parts of the United Slates which tells us how widespread our movement is becoming. Will you be surprised when 1 tell you that your articles on Romanism which you wrote in The Jeffersonian Maga zine some years ago inspired me to write what I knew against the wicked system? I am having quite a battle here, as you most know, trying to arouse the Masons to their danger. There are 3 2 degree Masons (?) in the or der who are .Roman Catholics! I believe, however, the attempted whitewash and the putting on the Congressional Record of the same by Ker.tner is the best thing that could happen. It will act as a boomerang. Nothing less would ever rouse the Masons in this city. The Knights of Columbus have succeeded in com pletely disarming them, by their subtle flattery and trickery. They are doing the “respectable” stunt, you know. “Fine men of large fam ilies, good neighbors and friends,” etc. Today is Primary day, and I be lieve we will detest the Jesuit ticket Ifer the school board. I have done my best to clear the issue. Thanking you again, I am, yours sincerely. DOLORES (BURKE) McCARTY. Calif. ANOTHER YOUNG PREACHER WRITES AN APPRECIATION. Dear Sir: I received my Jeff on the 13th, yesterday, and lay in bed and read pracically all day, as I am just recovering from a spell of near malarial fever. I haae been getting your papers only a short while —that is, as g regular subscriber —but I have always been a great admirer of you, and your papers. There are two things that stand out prominently in my life, one of which, I am very preud, the other is to my lasting shame. -The fact that I am proud of is that the first vote I cast after reaching my majority was for Th os. E. Watson.. The one that I remember with shame is the last National vote cast by me in the State of Georgia was for Oscar W. Underwood, the enemy of prohibi tion, for which I am sincerely sorry. I am a native Georgian , whom South Carolina has adopted. I ac cepted a call from the Baptist church here, and two country churches in cluded in this field, last July. I hoped to locate in my native State when I came from the seminary, but Georgia, seemingly, has an over-sup ply of preachers, so this place called and I came, and the Lord has won derfully blessed my labors hero. I have baptized forty new members since coming here, and I hope to bap tize more. One young man here has said, so I have been told, that he does not like to hear me preach be cause I say things against the Ro man Catholics. But in preaching against sins, such as whisky, cigar ettes and other evils, Roman Catholi cism natuiaily falls in line to round put the list. I certainly admire the stand you THE JEFFERSONIAN take against Romanism, and all other frauds. Please find enclosed 30 cents, for which please send me Foreign Mis sions Exposed. I hope in the near future to order more of your books. Especially do I want a Book of Sketches. Wishing«you unbounded success and hoping that yuu may live many years in which to expose fraud and to stand for the right, I am, Yours very respectfully, S. C. W. E. TURCRON. NEGRO MURDERER RECOM MENDED TO MERCY. Dear Sir: A short time ago John Pennington, a prominent white farm er, of this county, was murdered in li is house, sometime during the night. An examination of the prem ises showed clearly that the motive of the murderer was robbery. Two negroes were arrested on suspicion, one of them, Adolph Hicks, admit ted his guilt, while in the Bibb coun ty jail, where he had been confined for safe keeping. There was some feeling against the culprits through out the country, and especially in the community where the'crime was committed. But there seemed to be at the same time, a spirit of wil lingness to allow the law to take its course; every man expressing his be lief that in view of the fact that Wilkinson County has in past years, had some very dirty crimes of like character, and has had the courts al low the scales of justice tampered with, that surely justice would be vindicated, and mercy would not again be abused, while the hard working farmer went home to await news of the next foul assassin ation. But that was the very thing that was handed to those parties who compose the commonwealth of this county. Nobody expected the hang ing of the negroes to bring Lack Mr. Pennington. No upright and in telligent man wanted to hang Hicks, because of an insatiable thirst for blood; but every man who can read, knows that we have a law that is supposed to command the observe tion of the right, and prohibit the commission of the wrong, and by punishing the guilty to prevent crime. Every man in Bloodworth district stands shocked at the finding of that court, and no one can blame him if he holds a contempt for a court, who although, empowered and up held by th estrong arm of the law, yet offers no protection, unwilling to set an example at the proper time and place, for some reason. God only knows what. There are a num ber of men in this vicinity, who would like to know why Hicks got a life sentence. Some of them seem to believe that the district attorney was derilict of duty. Some of them sem to think that the court was not explicit, concerning the jury’s pow er. Whatever the fault may be, one th : ng is certain, when red handed criminals are shown mercy, where none is due, crime will increase, when the State seeks to blot out mob law, and Northern papers seek to knock. Those who want to set examples should do so, in a righteous way. I think when the evil is re moved, remedial steps are dead easy. There are a number of read ers who would be glad if you would publish the court’s charge, and also the evidence in this case. It was tried at Irwinton, 7th inst. Thanking you in advance for your kindness, Respectfully, Ga. JOHN W. RAMAGE. Read Foreign Missions Exposed, by Thos. E. Watson. Beautifully printed. Profusely illustrated. Price 80 cents. The Jeffs, Thomson, Ga. REMINDS US OF FORMER CAM PAIGNS. Dear Sir: Enclosed please find my check for $5.00, also list of sub scribers. I have been reading your publications ever since you first pub lished your Magazine in New York. I was living in New' York at that time, 1904. I remember how you woke up things in your speeches. We used to read them in The New York World. When you returned to Thomson I happened to be m At lanta, during the campaign of 1908, and heard you speak at some public Auditorium. I shall never forget that speech. You w r ere a candidate for President on the Populist ticket. Since then I have been keeping up v r ith your works f rom day to day. I expect to be in Georgia sometime next winter, and would like to have the pleasure of hearing you speak again. May you be spared many years to carry on your good work. Very sincerely, Va. J. R. THOMAS. CONGRATULATES US ON “SLEDGE HAMMER” TACTICS. Dear Sir: After reading The Jef fersonian I wish to congratulate you for the noble efforts you are making for the depressed, downtrodden hu manity. When I hear such sledge hammer blow r s as you. give Priest Hardeman and ether such dominants and such coincidents as the Black murder, I feel like that our blessed Lord stands up and looks on the scene with great pity and mercy, as he did v’hen Stephen was stoned to death. I am so thankful for a man that’s not only v/illing to live for his cause, but willing to die for it. Well, it seems from reading the Atlanta Constitution that Governor Slaton and Governor-elect Harris are bogged down with letters from Leo Frank’s sympathizers. I wonder what they would think if all the peo ple that beleive in law and justice being meted out to all men alike should write them letters. But this class of people is not writing and pleading with our officers in the hope that they might confuse their minds and arouse their sympathy, but are living on that strong hope and belief that that small still voice which speaks to men and leads them into all truth will bring to bear opon our officials to the consumption of all other powers. Let God be true, and every man a liar. Yeurs for the right. P. F. SMITH. Ga. - -♦ ONE MORE PROTESTANT PREACHER PROTESTS. NEXT!

Dear Sii: I do net know if you have seen Mr. BiUy Parker’s new, small book, “The Last Trip and the Martyrdom of William Black,” so I take the liberty of sending same to you by tomorrow’s mail, and it is sent with my compliments. I have a compliment for you: My mother says that Mr. Thos. E. Wat son, of Thomson, Ga., is our greatest living American, God’s noblest serv ant. Mother is an old type bl e-stcck ing Presbyterian, and a great be liever in Foreign Missions, and I said to her: Mother, you and Mr. Wat son do not agree as to the Foreign M’ssions, so ho-w can you get by on that? Her answer was: “Oh, Hughie, it’s another issue now. The Catholics are at our threats. We will have to lay Foreign Missions aside. Mr. 'Watson is certainly doing a no ble and a lasting good work, and is best fitted of all men to accomplish final results, and I wish him well.” Sincerely yours, Tex. H. M.
