Georgia Girls Shut Out of the

for the moment, and hence the error of mem
ory.
But, what difference does it make, as to the
system?
Bishop Candler's denial was confined to
Persia.
lie will not deny that his Board sends
doctors and trained nurses to the various
foreign fields. Our Baptist Board does it,
ami so do the others.
What good is accomplished by making a
denial about Persia?
I low dees it justify the system, to say that
the Methodist Board sends doctors to China,
.laipan. Korea, Cuba, Mexico, South Amer
ica. etc., but not to Persia?
Really. I think that such a quibble, such a
very small point made on me in his pulpit,
was unbecoming to the Bishop.
I reckon somebody has been nettling him
.about that report published in the Voice of
the Methodist Boarct, where that SOOO lady
missionary stated that she and other S6OO
missionaries were paying Chinese women
mm dollar and scren'ty-fiee cents a month,
for all day work, in the sewing shop.
Sister Lester must be more careful how
she tells tales out of school.
She told our people that the Chinese wom
an supported herself and family on $1.75
a month, and was eternally “grateful for
the opportunity to earn so much!”
Are those Chinese women Christians?
Have they been converted?
Have their families been preached to and
converted ?
So far as T could see, Sister Lester and her
associates were conducting a nice little sweat
shop in Shanghai, China, and were paying
mere attention to the sewing, than to soul
sa \ ing.
The Voice must be more careful in select
ing missionary letters for publication.
They annoy and irritate Bishop Candler.
Usually, he is the sweetest tempered of
men, and his voice is one of melody and
soothing, but he can't be expected to smile
;.nd speak softly, when such letters as Sister
wrote give missionary secrets away.
Suppose that, instead of paying a lot of
missionaries to oversee 150 Chinese women,
the same money should go to our schools!
Suppose that instead of sending laymen
to teach and practice medicine, the churches
would take the same money and open school
house doors, for our poor boys and girls!
In that case, such men as President Parks
would not have to shut the gate of opportu
nely upon so many Georgia, children —every
one of whom is “a natural resource" that
ought to be developed.

“The 4th Degree Gath of the
Knights ol Columbus.”
HpO meet the bluff and the falsehoods of
t those Americans who have foresworn
loyal principles, and have become oath-bound
subjects of a foreign power, 1 have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet.
The men who take that oath are traitors
to our government, and spies in our camp.
They are armed and drilled, as military
men, and kept in readiness to use their steel
swords, and their up-to-date rifles against
their fellow citizens.
Get my pamphlet, and study the facts for
yourselves. Priced ten cents.
This question of Popery is the most import
ant question now facing the people of
America.
THE JEFFERSON!AW
Would the Atlanta Journal like
to Make Some Money ?
JOHN Grant. Luther Besser, James R.
Gray and John Cohen are vastly scan
dalized at the way Watson is conducting
himself.
They say that he is making Money for The
Jeffersonian Publishing Company, by sell
ing 67,000 copies of the paper at *2 cents
apiece.
My! That's a big pile of money !
When vou deduct the cost of the blank
paper, the labor of the printers and press
men, the labor of boys and girls to bundle
the papers for the trains, the expense of
hauling blank paper and the printed papers,
the salaries of assistant editors, the office
force and the wear and tear of machinery,
our Company perhaps has a profit of S2OO.
That's neat, but not gaudy—as the monk
ey said to the cat, after painting a portion
of the cat's anatomy a bright sky-blue.
But there's nothing selfish and mean about
our Company; and I am reasonably certain
that the directors will authorize me to sell
all of our unsold stock, to John Grant, Ros
ser, Gray and Cohen.
I am not willing to swap it for any of
those stores that John Grant rents to the
Children of Israel, nor am I willing to ac
cept part pay in any of Dick Gray's watches
and shot-guns.
But if Cohen and Gray will return to
General Longstreet's widow the wedding
ring which they sold at auction, I will let
them have enough of our stock to pay them
the amount they got for it.
General Longstreet fought at First Ma
nassas, and all the way through to Appo
mattox; and T know that General Robert E.
Lee confided in him to the last; and I saw
ex-President Davis hug him, affectionately,
at the unveiling of Ben Hill’s monument in
Atlanta.
When that old Confederate soldier put
the engagement ring upon the finger of a
Georgia girl, whom he married and whom
he loved to the end. it was sacrilege for John
Cohen and Dick Gray to tear that sacred
relic from her hand and sell it, to pay Joi*
space in the Atlanta Journal.
These are the two men who, on March 10,
1914, published in their paper the first of
the attacks which were made on us, about
the Frank case.
Do they care for Money?
Do they know of any other Jew, or any
other Gentile, that ever sold a widow’s en
gagement ring for debt?
The debt was a charge which this Jew
and this Gentile had made against the widow
for publishing articles on a public question.
Are these the same men who sent out the
following letters?:
Atlanta, Ga., March 6, 1911.
Hon. Emmett Shaw, Ft. Gaines, Ga.
Dear Sir: —The next General Assembly of
Georgia will be composed of men of prominence.
The people of the State are interested in know
ing who these gentlemen are. The public wants
specific,, as well as general, information about
each individual member of the House and Sen

The Journal has decided to devote an en
tire section of the issue of April 23d in an en
deavor to enlighten the public along this line.
We propose to be liberal with our space in this
effort, feeling at the same time that we will have
the hearty co-operation of every Senator .and
Representative of* the State. Already this en
dorsement is being given in a substantial way.
We want to use a two-column cut of every
member of the Assembly, giving a liberal person
al write-up of each. For the cut ami one-sixth
of a page we will make a special rate of $25.00.
To make it complete it will be necessary to
have your photograph and personal sketch of
yourself. Fv.rnLn us with the photograph n-n-1
data and we. will be glad to set up story and
submit proof oa same. This data an l photo
graph will also be used during the session this
summer.

“The Law-Makers of Georgia.’’ Wo will mail
you twenty copies ri’atis, if you desire. You wi 1
want to know something about every other mem
ber, and they in turn will want to know you
better
Thanking you in advance for your order ana

advisement. Kindly let us hear by •return mail

this section for you. We are asking this prompt

tho Assembly out.
We hope very much that you will find it Con
venient to send us your photograph and data

any movement that tends to show the progressive
ness and public-spiritedness of Georgia’s legis

this matter, we are
Yours very truly.
THE ATLANTA JOURNAL.
“The Journal Covers Dixie Like the
Dew,” and was willing’ to cover the Georgia
legislature, extra, at s‘2s per.
If 200 statesmen wrote their biographies,
and paid $25 for having it printed, the Jour
nal got $5,000, which is a mighty nice sum
of money.
Selling wedding rings off the fingers of
widows, and selling space to aspiring legis
lators are two ways to make money.
And sis the legislature “falls for” that
kind of thing, every two years, the Journal
makes $5,000 biennially.
If that source of revenue proves to be con
stant, I shouldn't wonder if Dick Gray
would soon be able to buy himself another
watch and another shot-gun.
As for John Cohen, he will doubtless save
his part of the profits, and buy him a corner
lot in Jerusalem.
