LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. ALABAMA FRIEND THINKS SENTINEL ALL ONE COULD ASK. Editor The Sentinel: , Tho Sentinel is everything 1 Hfiyone could wish for. I am just "tickled to death” over the result of the election. I have always taken lots of interest ijj polities, County, State and National, 1 am glad to know that our great Watson lived to see his political enemies put under his feet. The Sen tlnel will live on. Watson knew your great worth, was why he employed you. You were responsible to a great extent for his success in his last days. Watson know this. No doubt there are a great many who will try to bring about your down-fall, just as they did Watson, but they will not succeed. I am a believer in the adage, "Truth crushed to earth will rise again.” Didn’t It prove true in the history of our noble Watson? | . I am inclosing a clipping from the Montgomery Journal, one of our dailies. I am sending postage for its return. I prize it very highly. Pardon me for taking up your valuable time, for I know you overrun with such, especially since the election, for I know the people credit your paper with the results. You are now going to be fought harder than you can imagine, but always remember the true Watson men and women will stay with you. They die, but never change. Aud they are legion. With best wishes, 1 am, Yours sincerely, Alabama. T. W. SHIELDS. P. S. I will try to send a small club this week. Am very busy right now. T. W. S. FROM ONE OF OUR OLDEST AND BEST FRIENDS. | To the Editor: I want to thank you for trying so hard to carry on the great work that Mr. Watson gave hip life for. 1 loved Mr. Watson as I never loved any other public man, and l well know he hasn’t an equal op earth- T have always stood for Mr. Watson and ts ken his paper and will continue to take it. I thank you are just doing fine and your words deserve the praise of all Watson lovers. I assure you T will do all I can to get the paper in every home in Georgia, and help in any way 1‘ can.

Editor The Sentinel; When I could not find *ords to express my admiration for vou folks in D. C., ft is as useless for me to try to explain my sorrow in Mr Watson’s death as well as sympathies for Mrs. Watson and the force. Rows enough as soon as I got my glasses my fears were true. I had been afraid for him but after his rally I hoped for a year or so more at least. I like your style of conducting the paper and 1 shall support you. Tell the truth and if the powers that he shut vou off then you are free. The people are not pressed hard enough yet to break them loose from tradition, so they will think for themselves. I could not see through the injunction against you till you explained. I don't see what can make a traitor out of a map who. had ever seen and read of Mr. Watson. I had planned to come down and see you all but waited tou long. I>est I be too long, I close. So lie brave and independent. Truth is what we need. Very respectfully yours, Missouri. W. C OVERSTREET. WELL—WE’RE STILL TRYING! Editor The Sentinel: We are writing you in re¬ gard to continuing The Sentinel. Sure we want it to -ontipuc. We were friends to Mr. Watson and his Paper. We can’t do without The Sentinel and will stand by it so long as you hold your rudder true. Wishing you success. L. R. PATTERSON. P. R. IVIE, F. S. LYTLE. Georgia. T. M. PATTERSON. APPRECIATED GOOD WISHES. Editor The Sentinel: l write you to wish you success in your effort to continue The Columbia Sentinel. Sincerely, Georgia. MRS. LON. M. DAVIS. THINKS THERE IS NEED FOR PAPERS LIKE THE SENTINEL. Editor Tlie Sentinel: I hope the people of Georgia In particular and throughout the Nation in general, will eeq the importance of maintaining a publication such as The Sentinel. Let it he a monument to the master leader who championed the poor man’s cause and kept standing so loug as it interprets the truths of its il¬ lustrious founder. It is as little as we can do to honor his great name and fame, and we cannot afford to do less. Mav God grant that we his avowel friends and followers will not prove ingrates. My prayers include supplication for divine com fort for the venerable widow and other sorrowing ones. Please renew my subscription one year for the money order for $1.50 inclosed. Respectfully, Mississippi. JAS. A. HEARN. MANY THANKS, DOCTOR. To the Editor: I am glad to know that you are with The Sentinel again. We need a man that is fear¬ less to take the place of our great lamented Chief, and i know that you can do a great work by keeping the paper fighting for those principles that Georgias greatest son gave his life for, and keep the Watson forces together and be ready for the battle that is ahead.. To fight Wilsoninm and International bankers and railroads and meat trusts. Wishing you great success, I am. Yours truly, Georgia. , W. K. DAVIS. TliE COLUMBIA SENTINLL. THOMSON, LiEORGlA.

To the Editor: Congratulations to- you and your paper on your taking editorial charge of Tho Sentinel, Tom Watson made that paper a thing of national im portance,—and its ‘‘puli'’ was largely due to its anti papal work, together with its truthfulness concerning both men and affairs in tlie nation. Despite the fact that Senator Watson is dead such a weekly, if con ducted with vigor and foresight, can he made to sway majorities in this Republic, and to exercise a powerful influence upon the destinies of the government. Go to it ‘avfng an d ‘‘may your shadow never grow less,” as the old saying goes goes. than the readers more each week enternrisc Good luck to you and Yours HuVy ' ' Georgia. t a 1 McKNIGHT ’ THE OLD GUARD NOT WILLING TO __ To the Editor: Was certainly proud to see vou hack on the Sentinel staff.

Lincoln expressed his ion of CathMlclsm in no uncertain terms, which fact has been printed many times. | !t lg , 10w up to those wbo do not wlsb (o scc America disgraced by having a Papist either first or gecond p j ace on the Democratic ticket to begin now to got the people ready to fight to the finish on this issue. A man shouW be judged by the company he keeps and this 8m|th bel b008ted by SU ch a rotten organization ag Tammany should be ashamed of himself. You know hat Dr . McArtb ur said about Rome and Tammany Hall, "its triumphal ‘ carriage is a beer wagon: Its , ! throne a wbiskey barreI; its scopter is a policeman s , b d u erown , s ot lvv leuvos dedicated to Venus 8nd Bachtt8 . And all over the civic crown is a tiara of the Pope of Bome . Let me give you a receipt for making Tammany Hall: Select a great caldron pre sided over, by witches, representing various crimes, kin ^ the fire underneath with embers brought from Hades. Put in intellectual ignorance, social vulgarity, political fever, religious bigotry, typical thuggism, po¬ ]ltlca , v( , na iity, variegated murder and sprinkle the whole with holy water.” Surely the Southern Democrats could not he in du( , ed ])y theae p emocratg j n the North to help them pul a Romanist in the Presidential chair. I am a Re publican, and the disgrace ot having this Papist Smith beat our Governor Miller, such a fine and able man. Is simply proves what can happen in this Rome ruled town by the Irish and Jews.

To the Editor: The proposed free text book bill has been defeated in the past only because its advocates have never been organized, and its opponents have al¬ ways been organized. For tha; reason, 1 most respectfully suggest to those members-elect,, who like myself, are determined that this BUI shall pass at the first session or the new Legislature, that we hold a conference at least two 0 r three mouths before tho Legislature couvenos, for the purpose of perfecting such plans as may be deemed advisable for putting up an organized fight in favor of this Bill. member-elect I shall greatly appreciate it if each who favors the passage of tills Bill will communicate with me at the earliest time possible and suggest some date which to the individual meujbers-eloct, would bo most convenient for Ibis proposed conference. We can, if wo will pass this Bill as tho first Leg¬ islative act of the now Legislature, but wo can do it only by organizing In advance. Will you join with the other members favoring its passage In waging an or ganized fight or do you prefer to wago a hopeless, single-handed light of your own? Yours truly, Valdosta Georgia, WILL H. STANFORD. ’ WILL NOT HAVE A REVIVAL . OI' „„ VVILSOM8M. WE To the Editor: t want to tell you through the Sentinel how proud the Sentinel’s friends were when they learned of your coming back. Of course you know that we were all grieved at the death of our bo loved leader, and his place cannot bo filled, but 1 have heard hundreds of people say that you would come nearer filling Mr. Watson's place thgn any one else, A and it gives The Sentinel readers pr ea t pleasure to know that, you are there with Mrs. Lytle. It is a fact that no paper in the IT. S. has two better equipped writers for the American flag than The Sentinel, and i waul to insist, on every reader of The Sentinel send ing at least three more new su’ tcribers to The Senti ne>. We should quit paying for those papers that stand guard for the 'ope. We c, do them like they do us—Imycot them. Thai is the way the Catholics do when things don’t come their way.You will see such papers as the Georgian ml tbi Telegraph ready to jump on everything that doesn’t please tho Pope, and why not let the Georgian go to the Catholics where it rightly should be. The Catholics will not lot us teach in their schools but they are teaching in our schools. The first thing you hear when we don’t want , Catholic to teach our schools is Religious Intolerance, and when the Catholics give the word, the Georgian squalls "re Hglous intolerance.” .All true Americans should lei the Georgian go to the Pope and re ail a paper that is for free speech and free assembly and for the K. K. K. and every thing else that the Catholics don’t, want, for don’t want them over here. We see Woodrow Wilson is up again. Next will he Tumulty, then the Pope, aud then the devil, and wo ( i on ’t want Wilson, Yours truly. Georgia, \y. H. Y\ H1TTEN. PATRIARCH WISHES I S GOOD JACK.
