GENTILES THINK IT TIME TO
FIGHT BACK.
Dear Sir: At a mass-meeting of
ladies held here last n.ght, the un
dersigned, were appointed as a com
mittee to give a letter of publicity to
our meeting as well as our motive
for same.
The “ball has started rolling,” and
the ladies of our city are going to
keep it rolling. Our motive is this:
Boycott the Jews (we have plenty of
Gentiles to buy from who carry any
thing we need) and, last but not
least, the three daily papers: the
Journal, Georgian and Constitution.
Our reasons are this: Our class is
distinct from the Jews, and while we
believe there are some good ones,
they, like we disgraced Georgians,
will have to suffer the consequences
of a deed done, which can never he
undone, by one of their own race.
As for the papers: When Frank
first murdered Mary Phagan who was
the first to paint a horrible picture
in words and spread the news not
only to the people of Georgia, but to
the United States? It was our pa
pers, and after they have brought us
up to the time when justice should
have been meted out they sold out
for Jew gold, along with Slaton. We
hope they will enjoy it, for the wo
men are in the fight to stay.
As for Slaton, we feel that he is
too email to even be noticed, as he
has disgraced the grandest State in
the Union for money, but we are go
ing to show the people that we have
the self-respect, humanity and Chris
tianity to resent such insult to our
womanhood.
We met at the home of one of our
committee to prepare our letter, and
feel that we have been paid the high
est honor that we have yet had as
our Chief of Police Beavers sent one
of his most trusted men out to watch
over us to see that we did not make
an effigy of Slaton to drag through
the streets, blazing, tonight. They
are afraid of us—afraid we can
really do something—and we will.
The Jews will have to go sooner or
later, as we will starve them out.
Several little speeches were made
at our meeting, and if we could only
have had your honorable self or our
faithful and dear beloved Hugh Dor
sey with us we feel we could have
won the world. Respectfully,
Mrs. C. W. McDade, Mrs. W. C.
Glass, Mrs. G. W. McDaniel, Mrs. S.
B. Adamson, Mrs. J. A. Stallworth.
ATLANTANS .WANT A PAPER
THAT WON’T SELL OUT.
Dear Sir: We, as citizens of At
lanta, beseech you to come to our
city and establish a daily paper in
the interest of letting the facts be
known instead of false reports being
forced upon the general public, and
assure you a subscription of not less
than fifty thousand almost immedi
ately. The recent outrages perpe
trated by our Governor, Jack Slaton,
against the law-abiding citizens of
our State, compel us to make this re
quest.

A TELEGRAM FROM FLORIDA
Sherman will, be forgiven and for
gotten, but Frank and Slaton and
money will ever be within the mem
ory of Georgia’s people.
ROBT. T. KYLE.
Marathon, Fla,
Dear Sir: The citizens of Val
dosta have organized and started a
movement to raise SI,OOO for a mon
ument of Georgia granite or marble
to “little” Mary Phagan, and erected
over her grave.
The committee wishes every town
in Georgia to be represented in this
movement. We will thank you to
solicit funds for this movement, and
report same to this committee, not
later than July 10th.
It is a movement that every fair
minded man in Georgia should be in
terested in. Little Mary Phagan was
a sweet, pure, refined girl; and the
greatest thing she had on this earth
was her virtue; and all will agree
THE JEFFERSONIAN
that she gave up her life for her
virtue.
This committe will be known as
the Committee Raising Funds. After
the funds have been collected and
paid in, it will be turned over to a
committee selected from different
parts of the State, and will be known
as the Purchasing and Inscription
Committee.
The committee wishes to state,
that there has been several telegrams
and letters received from over the
State of Georgia, all joining and en
couraging the movement.
Very respectfully,
C. W. ARNES,
Secretary and Treasurer.

“THE DIFFERENCE ’TWIXT THE
RICH AND THE POOR.”
Dear Sir: It is fully demonstrated,
especially by the late action of John
Slaton, that, in Georgia, there is one
law for the rich and another for the
poor.
I want to call the attention of the
people to the action of our most
estimable (?) Governor, John M.
Slaton. The wide difference in the
way he handled the cas of Nick Wil
bur, of Jones County, and that of
Leo Frank.
When Wilburn’s case was carried
before him for commutation of sen
tence to life imprisonment, he comes
forth with the remark that it was
not his business to commute the
sentence of criminals when they had
been tried by twelve jurors who had
heard the sworn evidence in the case.
That he had no right to interfere.
Therefore, Wilburn was hanged.
Now. why this great change in our
admirable (?) Governor?
Was it not because Wilburn did
not have the money to hire detec
tives, bribe witnesses and muzzle the
press? Can’t we all see there is
something “dead up the branch?”
What does he think about having
the blood of Nick Wilburn on his
hands?
I agreed with Slaton on that case,
and said Wilburn ought to hang;
but a good many of my neighbors
voted against him because he would
not commute this sentence to life im
prisonment, while the woman in the
case was set free. I contended that
did not lessen Wilburn’s crime at
all; also contended that Slaton could
not afford to commute Frank’s sen
tence, after what he did in this Wil
burn case. Nevertheless, we see
what money has done when Frank’s
case got to Slaton, after having been
handetl down by all the courts of
Georgia and the United States courts
as well.
Tn his long drawn out statement,
Slaton says that .Tim Conley is the
guilty man. Now, does not he, as
well as every one else know that if
the people of Georgia had the least
suspicion that Conley was guilty of
that hideous crime, he would not be
able to stay here as long as “Pat
stayed in the army.” Further, there
are none who belidVe that Slaton be
lieves that.
Again I say, there is something
suspicious looking about this affair.
He comes out in his long state
ment and goes over the same'thing
that has been before the best legal
talent, not only of Georgia, but the
United States, also, and why is it
that he sees this thing so differently
from those learned judges, and Par
don Board?
Leo Frank Xis the guilty man, and
he should havp paid the debt with
his life for the' death of little Mary
Phagan, the victim of one of the
most brutal crimes in the history of
Georgia.
Mary Phagan was a poor working
girl, working for a low-down, no-
principled, big-nosed Jew, that rav
ished her and butchered her up worse
than if she had been a hog, and Leo
Frank, who did the crime, can go on
living and be sent to the penitentiary,
which is the first step towards free
dom for him.
Now, can we wonder at Lynch law,
when such things as this are per
mitted to be? I say, away with cap
ital punishment in Georgia, if it
hangs the man who has no money,
and saves the one who has.
We are glad to say that in Hugh
Dorsey we have one Georgia man
that money cannot buy. If he had
been for sale, he could have gotten
any price he asked for; now I say
he can get anything at the hands of
the voters of Georgia that he asks
for.
Just what kind of a feeling, now,
can Solicitor Dorsey and the twelve
jurors that sat on this case feel to
ward John Slaton? (I say John Sla
ton because I think that he is un
worthy to be called Mr. or ex-Gover
nor Slatpn. I feel that it would be
a disgrace to the good name of the
grand old State of Georgia to ad
dress him thus.)
I am ashamed and sorry to say
that I have voted for Slaton twice in
my life: once for United States Sen
ator and once for Governor, but to
day I would vote for a “yellow
hound?’ quicker than I would him,
apd when I say this I speak the sen
timent of everybody in our neigh
borhood. L. M. HALL. z
