Additional Letters From the People
A NORTH CAROLINIAN'S KNOWL
EDGE OF MR. WATSON.
Mangum, N, C., Oct. 25, 1915.
Editor Chronicle: Only a few lines.
I have just read your editorial of
October 22nd. I beg to state that I
lived in Thomson, Ga., for fifteen
years; a part of the time being at
the home of Tom Watson. I can
state I was never treated with more
kindness and consideration anywhere
than I was by Mr. Watson and his
family. I do not endorse everything
Mr. Watson says and does; I am not
one of his followers and have never
voted for him, but I am not‘blind to
the gpod he has done. During the
time I lived with Mr. Watson, I
learned lie had a host of friends all
over the South, and this was thor
oughly demonstrated at the first
national cotton growers association
in New Orleans. McDuffie county
being represented by Mr. Watson
and myself.
It was on that occasion Mr. Wat
son made the greatest speech during
the meeting. The entire association
was wild over his great speech, and
he was thanked and congratulated
time and time again by men all
over the South. Many from my na
tive state expressed themselves that
Mr. Watson was the truest and best
Triend the Southern farmer had and
had done more for them than any
man in the South. Why all this cry
to hound him down? If the charges
are sustained against him, then for
Heaven’s sake what will you do with
the Catholic Church?
It strikes me the first thing the
law (I niean the people) should find
out, should be, if the Catholic Church
is innocent of the very charges
brought against Tom Watson. Had
he misrepresented the least about
taking the language he used out of
the books of the Catholic Church?
On the other hand, if he has not,
then what? I tell you we are get
ting into deep and treacherous water
along this point. If Tom Watson has
stated facts, then the Catholic
Church will be as guilty as Tom Wat
son. And if equally guilty, do you
propose to single out Tom Watson
and punish him, and let the Catholic
Church go free?
If this should be attempted I do
not believe the people will submit to
it. The people are the law and they
demand justice to be handed out to
one and all alike. To say that Tom
Watson’s friends are hot blooded be
cause they want to rally to his sup
port, it seems is not the correct posi
tion to take. My! My! if his friends
do not stand to him now, they had
better never have pretended to be
his friends. In my opinion this is
no question of more importance to
our country than to know if Tom
Watson is right or- wrong in the
stand be has taken against the Catho
lic Church. All other subjects fade
into insignificance in comparison
with this one. It means all for our
country, and our religion. If God is
with him he is right, if God is against
him he is wrong. If right, may he
be spared to live a long time and
may men like him multiply in every
state in the South.
Another thing 1 have not read any
thing that can be said Tom Watson
endorsed the Allen trial, and I do
not think it is right to state he wants
it. repeated in Georgia. The Allens
met death for what they believed to
be right and many are living today
who agreed with them.
But 1 cannot see what good can be
accomplished to drag the Allen trial
in the Tom Watson trial. Let the
law be upheld and justice be done
to all alike is what the people are
interested in and want to see.

THE JEFFERSONIAN
HITS CARPET-BAGGER STOCK
BRIDGE HARD.
Dear Sir: As I allowed your rep
resentative in my town some time
ago to dupe me into giving him SI.OO
to pay the subscription to Southern
Ruralist for three years, after he
assured me that you had repented the
act of defending the Brutal act of
Leo Frank, I submitted and sub
scribed for the paper, but have since
learned by reading your article to
Mrs. Williams of Texas, that your re
pentence is only skin deep and you
at heart are still fighting the oatties
of as cold-blooded a rapest and
murderer as ever trod American soil.
I will now ask you to discontinue the
paper as I had rather present you
with SI.OO than patronize a paper
that will join the Jew-bought press
in trying to boycott our own precious
state for defending the virtue of our
womanhood against the beastly lust
of a savage beast. So please don’t
send me another copy of the Ruralist,
as we people of South Georgia are
defenders of the virtues of the grave
of Mary Phagan and of all papers
that are fighting for her cause
are ready to join in boycotting any
paper that loves the Jews money
better than they love the virtues of
the womanhood of their own state.
ELD. J. B. MULLIS.
P. S. Dear Uncle T. E. W.: I here
with enclose copy of a letter sent to
Ruralist, please publish that others
may follow. I will send you another
club in a few days. I am glad to
say that you and your principles are
growing here faster than ever before
the best people that have oeen your
vilest enemies politically, are now
your ardent friends and supporters.
ELD. J. B. MULLIS.
HOLTON HAS NOT BEEN
PARDONED.
Dear Sir: I see a notice in your
paper asking you to find out who
pardoned Isaac Holton of Vienna, Ga.
I too, (his son) would like very
much to know, for he is still in
prison here at Milledgeville. I will
thank you very much for any infor
mation in regard to a pardon for my
father if one has been granted.
Peyton goes further and says that
Holton killed his son in cold blood.
That being the case, tnere is another
man who has no regard for virtue at
all. This man Peyton did willfully
and without cause insult my mother
and threaten my father s life.
Now if that is cold blooded mur
der, there is not a man in the State
of Georgia, that is a man, but what
would commit a cold blooded crime.
If you want any evidence in regard
to this case, call on the law firm of
Crumm & Jones of Cordele, Ga., and
you can get same.
Thanking you for any information
you can give.
xours truly,
W. J. HOLTON.
WATSON’S “NAPOLEON” STILL
POPULAR WITH THE FRENCH
People.
Dear Sir: Judge John J. Davis of
Clarksburg, W. Va., told me a friend
of his being in Paris, went into a
book store and asked for the best
life of Napoleon and was told “the
best life is written by a gentleman
from your country, I see you are
from the United States, Thomas
Watson. 1 think he lives in Georgia.
If you have been told this, a second
hearing will do no harm. I have
read the book, also Story of France,
and the pleasure derived causes me
to get the Napoleon from the library
and give myself a second treat.
May the Lord have you in His
holy care.
Cordially,
BALDWIN A. PENDLETON.
overwhelmed by foreign
ELEMENT.
Dear Sir: I have read again and
again your account, (the record of
the Frank case) and while I have
noted the facts as regards the crime,
I have more particularly absorbed
mentally your arguments, your true
logical deductions, and the wonder
ful and extensive information you
have shown; but above all that Mr.
Watson, the true American (of the
South) that you have always shown
and the genuine Southern man of the
(ancient regime) is comfort to me.
Mr. Watson we are overwhelmed by
a foreign element, Yankees, and
haters of the South, for neighbors;
tlie outlook now, (taking in the war
s feature) is certainly of a puzzling
character, and I have concluded, .that
a revolution here is now at least in
sight; but to conclude I want to
thank you for your fight for the
South, (1 am an old Confederate)
and incidentally I will try and send
you a subscription for the magazine.
Respectfully and profound regards,
FLORIDIAN.

A LETTER FROM AN OLD FRIEND
TO WHOM WE SENT SOME
BOOKS.
Dear Sir: As you have many in our
town who are subscribers to your
journal and are admirers of you,
even the ladies are among the num-'
ber. My husband is an old veteran.
I ha*e been a teacher for 25 years.
I have known you as the delivered
of our commencement address at
Hephzibah, G-a., in company with my
brother, Paul Hudson. You know
the rest.
I am a teacher at Grovetown, Ga.,
Columbia County, and am trying to
raise funds and books for our new
school building library. Would be
very grateful to you for any aid in
filling up the library, as the children,
are poor and their parents arc un
able to aid me. } '
Please let me hear from you.
Your old acquaintance,
MRS. R. E. BROADWATER.
