FROM A FRIEND AT GUYTON.
Dear Sir; 1 wish to congratulate
you for the stand you have taken,
notwithstanding the fact that our es
teemed Brother C. M. Ledbetter, of
Guyton, Ga., has not nerve enough to
take a stand with our brave leader
"who has been fighting our battles for
us: notwithstanding the fact that he
said he was the most obscene man in
the State —who is the most vile of
the two? A. man who can say that
he is trying to bring out the truth,
and is persecuted for so doing, or
any minister of the Gospel, to publish
such a tiling in a paper that is trying
to crush the truth. is not fit to preach
to a cow, much less people of com
mon .judgment. Play with a skunk
and see. if you don't smell like the
skunk. Who could compare our brave
editor with such low bred things as
a skunk?
We who have to depend on our
fr>\-i (I to fight our buttles for us
ought to be very careful how wo sign
o"r name to any article to be pub
lished in The Augusta Chronicle, one
of the worst papers in the South.
Not that our Brother C. M. Ledbetter
THE JEFFERSONIAN
had an idea that it would cause so
many people to look at him and say
that he is a traitor to the truth—no
man of true Christian spirit could do
such a thing. Oh, ye hypocrite! If
he thought for a moment he would
Come face to face with our dear
friend, T. E, Watson, he would
change his opinion of T. E. W. —he
would fear the scold that he might
receive.
All mistakes in this article are
meant as a slam to all our enemies
and good will to our friend, T. E. W.
Respectfully,
Ga. H. N. CONWAY.

Dear Sir: I, an old Confederate
soldier, and M. H. Green, a man with
but one leg, obtained the inclosed
subscriptions in about two hours’
ride through the country, not over
six miles from start to finish. Every
person approached subscribed except
two. One young man said he was
out of money to every demand except
The Jeffersonian. We failed to see
seven men we were sure would have
subscribed if they had been at home.
Let the Catholics and men in high
office continue to persecute; it only
helps you.
By the way, I see that Senator
Smith is making another drive at
the farmers —not just 12 cents cot
ton but 20 cents this time. That is,
he furnishes the chin music but
wants Uncle Sam to take the risk of
putting it over the danger line. He
fooled a whole lot of people with his
12 cents scheme; be may fool some
with his 20 e’ents scheme, but not I.
Look out, you men high up! You
are falling and Watson, is rising.
Ga. P. R. COKER.

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM
A FLORIDA FRUIT GROWER.
Dear Sir: 1 inclose SI.OO that
it may enroll me as one of your
readers. lam 58 years of age and
have raised a family of five chil
dren, all of them out of the way but
one boy of 16. I have but one girl.
I came to Florida from Baltimore
in 1880, founded this place and
named it. is a small rural
settlement with no one who is very
well informed, so I have heard of
you only when I was off from home
or through a paper occasionally; but
the past September I spent a month
in South Carolina and a few days in
Thomasville, Ga., and it was only
then that I saw a copy of your price
less magazine. I deem it so for sev
eral reasons, the main one being
that you are our most fearless and
able champion of that hydra-headed
personification of Hell and the Devil,
the Catholic (so-called) Church and
Romanism. I am with you in every
word you write upon the subjec’t, and
consider the articles in the one copy
of the magazine for September as
historically valuable. 1’ will not part
with it. In Carlyle’s French Revolu
tion he states that “Ignorance is the
mother of religion,” but does not
credit the dogma to Pope Gregory,
as you taught me he should.
Hastily,

A BAPTIST PREACHER’S IN
DORSEMENT.
Dear Sir: I am a Baptist min
ister; have been reading after you
for some time; do not take your
paper on account of continued sick
ness in my family; have been preach
ing to weak churches that could not
pay much, and the board has never
helped them to remunerate me for
my services. It takes all they can
get to build houses in the heathen
lauds and furnish pastors, teachers
and doctors, &c*. My manner of
preaching is on Paul’s plan—the
plain, simple truth, and you know
there is but little demand for simple
truth in this advanced age. We have
got so far ahead of Cod’s plans! As
T am not exactly in line with some of
my brother ministers, they keep me
worked out.
Now. I want to indorse and com
mend vour entire speech in your re
cent trial for law and truth T have
been warning the people from the
pulpit of the dangers qf Roman
Catholicism getting the reins of our
Government, it is time our people
were waking up, because the prin
ciples of Romanish are creeping into
our churches and into the pulpits.
The Scriptures say we wrestle not
with flesh and blood but with powers
and principalities and Spiritual wick
edness in high places. It has come
up into the legislative halls and sen
atorial halls, and does not stop there,
but has got into the churches and
into the sacred offices of the minister.
If I could get to preach a few ser
mons to all the preachers, I would
show up some of the evils better than
I can show them in writing. This is
a fast age. We have laws to pro
tect and control our Government, but
it does seem that the law and courts
