FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. d. i. tiwMur. Hum. Newnan, Ga., Jan. 19, 1907. Mr. F. L. Soely, Pub. Georgian, Atlanta, Ga. My Dear Sir: Again we are all under obligations to you, not simply for giv ing us a CLEAN paper, but for the honest effort you are making to have other papers clean up their columns. This thing of washing the daily papers of the state is a dirty job. It la worse than soiled political linen, and what is worse, you are forced to do it all in pub lic and hang the garments on the front fence to dry. It is strange to me that the postoffice department does not deny such publi cations the privilege of the mails. “The Freedom of the Press" is an expression that is sadly overworked. It is not freedom, but license. Some of the comma- nirjttinng and itwwy nf tba adtrfwMgamente are an insult to decency. Seep up the fight. The people may be slow, but they will eventually come to a full appreciation of your work. I get The Georgian daily through your little newsboy. I prefer it that way because he is a very worthy little man, and I want to encourage him. His moth er is a widow, and he is making a manly fight to help her take care of the fam ily. You may not know him personally, but when you have another supper for your boyB, let me know and I will send him to it and give you a letter of intro duction to the manly little man, Master Herbert Cranford. But I wish to give you further evidence of my sincerity in indorsing your effbrt at a clean paper, and for the present you can put me down for fifty copies daily and I will pay for the same. The great forces that mold the character of the citixen and make the na tion are the Press, the Pulpit, the Politician, the Pedagogue and the Police. If those are dean and pure, the citixen will be noble and the nation will be great. Yours Very Truly, G. A. NUNNALLY.
