REV. S. p. JONES CORRECTED
RY REV. w. p. LOXEJO'

To the Editor Of The Journal:
In your issue Of March I there was
letter from Rev. Sam P. Jones in which
he made the following statement In sub
stance: Il guess the barroom gang in
Rome and Sister Lovejoy are sorry that
the dispensary won out in Floyd county"
On Monday following I wrote Brother
Jones a letter, calling his attention to the
great injustice he had done my wife, and
asked him to make correction through
The Journal. have received no answer
to my letter, nor has any reference to IL
fallen under my eye In any cOmmunica-
ton from him which has appeared in The
Journal.
AS Brother Jones has not seen ft to no
tice my letter I'm any way I ask the cour-
tesy OF The Journal to make answer to
his unjust statement. Rev. S. A. Harris,
a member Of the North Georgia confer
ence, and who favored the dispensary in
Floyd county, knowing the unfair use
the liquor crowd were making OF Mrs.
Lovejoy's opposition to the dispensary,
had the kindness and sense Of justice to
come to her defense in the columns OF the
Rome paper. which advocated the dispen-
sary. His statement was, in effect, that
the people in Rome knew Mrs. Lovejoy
to be an uncompromising advocate OF pro-
hibition.
Mrs Lovejoy and the barroom gang are
opposed 10 the OlSpenSary IN flOyu COuA-
ty, but for very different reasons. The
barroom crowd oppose the dispensary be-
cause they want liquor in Rome and they
want the selling of 1t. Mrs. Lovejoy OPP
poses the dispensary because she wants
no liquor sold in Rome at all. The bar
rooms fought the dispensary because they
were fighting prohibition. Mrs. LoveJoy
fought the dispensary because she was a
friend of prohibition. According to Broth
er Jones logic he ought to be as sorry
as the barroom gang, that the dispensary
won. No matter what becomes Of proht-
bition in F1oyo county, the barroom
crowd are not in it as long as the dis
pensary is there. So they are sorry. As
long as the dispensary is there. prohibition
has no chance and Brother Jones ought
to be sorry.
Would it be fair to Brother Jones, who
has done such valiant service for prohi-
bition to class him with the barroom gang,
and say that he and they are both in favor
of selling liquor as a beverage. the only
practical difference being they want It
sold in what is called a saloon and he
wants II sold In what is called dispen-
sary? I have too high an opinion OF him
as a prohibitionist to utter such hair
truth. w. p. LOVEJO1s

THE NECESSITY OF
A WHIPPING POST

To the Editor Of The Journal:
1 heard a young negro some time ago
Dragging on the fact that he had been in
the Changing six times Che was In a
crowd OF negroes). and always had a.
plenty 70 eat aid some pretty striped
clothes to wear, while the common run OF
darkies were always dressed in rags and
were hungry most Of the time. This fellow
is in again now for his seventh time. An
other negro was arrested here today for
taking some cake and other eatables out
Of a house last night.
When he was questioned as to why he
did 1t he said he couldn't get any Job and
he wanted something to eat He said If
he succeeded in stealing II without being
caught up with It was all right and II he
was caught 1t didn't make much diner~'
ence as he would be fed when they put
him IN the chaingang.
Now these are only fair representatives
of large numbers OF the race.
If they don't mind going in the chain
gang IL is certainly no punishment to send
them there and how can you keep down
crime If II is not punished7
To my mind the old-time whipping
post fills the bill exactly.
II these young imps were given q good
sound whipping for these little offenses.
I think it would put stop to the great
er part OF this petty thievlng and am
sure you would not hear one of the cul-
prits boasting OF the fact after the opera
ton.
As for them having to steal to get some
thing to eat this is not necessary at all.
A good hand has no trouble in getting q
Job It is Just these lazy mo account
darkeys that don't want TO work which
have no work to do. SUBSCRIBER 4

DR.. GIBSON INSISTS
ON STRIPES FOR INEBRIATES

To the Editor Of The Journal;
A few more words about the inebriate
asylum I read with a great deal of in
terest Dr. Powells article on the subject.
This good man has spent the greater part
Of his life in looking after and admins
tering unto that unfortunate class, who
need kind and gentle treatment and they
have received it. At all times and under
all circumstances DR.. Powell is one Of the
kindest and best of men and thank God
that the state Of Georgia has this good
man at the head of her greatest charita-
BILE institution.
Dr. Powell knows nothing about manag-
ing bad men. He would not make good
convict manager by a great deal; there
fore, he is not good authority on manag-
ing criminals. He doesn't believe In
chaingangs for this class Of people. What
would the state do with the teaming thou
sands of drunken negroes? They would
bankrupt the state in five years and eat
up the taxpayers, soul and body. The
seven years famine in Egypt would not
be IN IL. And more than that, II would
increase drink with the young white men
OF our state, knowing that when health
and property was all gone that the state
would care for them. What a time we
would have should the state enact such
a law to build a home for drunkards and
drunkards' crimesl Place them on the
changing with stripes on and make them
work It out. That will beat taxing the
moor people to encourage drunkenness and
keep up drunkards. Yours truly,

SUGGESTIONS FROM
OUR CORRESPONDENTS

woman was the greatest sufferer In con-
nection with drunkenness, but unfortun-
ately young ladies are responsible for
leading young men astray. In their private
social relations, and in their public in
ducenents to young men to drink with
them not only wines but even strong
drinks, they become responsible for the
indulgence Of the appetite, and ultimate
Il these young men become habituated to
indulge freely under any and all occa-
sions. The attitude of those who are seek
ing to establish an inebTiate asylum Is
that of opposition to the use in every form
OF intoxicating drinks.
We would, therefore, encourage all who
are opposed TO the use of liquor to band
themselves together in opposing the use
of intoxicants, and the UNFOLDING and pro-
noting Of everything that can build up
the inebriate asylum.
It is evident that II provision can be
made for the separation and treatment Of
those already addicted to drink, that we
can expect an immediate result from the
establishment of an inebriate asylum IN
the state of Georgia.

LODGES BILL GIVES FZLLPZNOS
NO VOICE IN THEIR GOVERNMENT
BY ANGUS M'sWEEN.
Washington Correspondent Of the Philadelphia North American

yer question as a possible factor in, de-
termining elections in this country. With
all the silver mined here pouring into the
islands and circulating upon it's bullion
value only, it will not be possible to con-
slider an increased use of silver in this
country except upon similar basis.
From a financial standpoint the legisla-
ton proposed is wise, because it will have
the effect of establishing the actual value
Of silver as a circulating medium in &C
tive competition with gold. 1t Is almost
certain that it's value will increase, and
that the promised supply of an unlimited
amount of money for use In the Philip
pines will stimulate trade there and eff
feet good results.
The dollar to be coined for the ISLANDS
will be similar to the Bombay dollar, ana
will have this advantage, that 1t VIII be
made a legal tender. 1t will be better
dollar than the Mexican dollar, because
of the superiority of its manufacture. II
is believed in the senate committee on
finance that the American Philippines dol
lar will promptly become the standard OF
value in silver-using countries, ana VIII
circulate throughout the Asiatic nations
and find thereby a permanent place IN the
financial system of the world.
There is fear IN the senate that the
house will not agree to this feature OF
the bill, so strongly are house members
in favor of the gold standard, but when
its provisions and the purposes 1t is ex-
pected to accomplish are understood II
may pass.
The singular feature of the whole stu
alton, so far as the Philippines are con-
cerned, Is that this measure was being
framed while the entire Republican organ
ization is planning to give Cuba its own
government, and talking loudly about the
political rights to which the Cubans are
entitled.
The Philippines bill, 1t is not difficult to
discern, represents the real sentiment OF
the Republicans in congress better than
does the talk of Cuban Independence, ana
the Philippines bill is therefore the one
legislative proposition against which the
Democrats will make their most deter
mined fight.
Policies Scare Republicans.
Republican policies brought to their
logical conclusion brighten even Republic
cans. and the question of calling halt
somewhere before the very character OF
the government is changed and the public
becomes alarmed is absorbing the atten-
ton Of the wiser among the Republican
leaders.
The party has gone far already toward
that end where the government controls
all individuals except those who control
the government, but It is proposed to
take additional strides which will make
the progress in the past along this chosen
road seem small and Insignificant. Legis-
lators are making history. and making 1t
with haste and no apparent heed for con-
sequences.

VIII you kindly give me In the columns
OF The Journal some Information about
planting and cultivating broom corn.
How much seed per acre and how wide
10 make the rows.
Answer: Broom corn belongs TO the
nOn-sacharine variety of the sorghums.
The seed are about the same size and Il
requires about the same number OF seed
TO secure a stand as II sorghum were be-
ing planted for cultivation. About five
pounds Of seed are sufficient and they
should be thinly drilled In the rows so
as to secure a stand OF one stalk every
three TO five inches.
The rows should be laid of from three
to four feet apart according to the fer
tility Of the land. . The land should be
nicely prepared. plowed deep in break
ing and narrowed down to a fine filth.
The plants should be plOwed and hoed
out as soon as two inches high so as 10
check the growth Of grass and weeds.
Shallow cultivation is necessary during
the growth OF the plant. The plan of cul-
tivation is the same as. that for field corn.

The menace to the Republican party
comes from the Republican party. Pater-
nalism. protection and participation in
enterprises which should either be con-
Quoted by private individuals, or made
public properties outright, carried to an
extreme, threaten the great political or
ganization with disruption.
In no measure which has yet been
brought to the attention of congress is
the real dominating sentiment Of present
Republicanism so clearly revealed as in
the scheme of government which the ma
jority members in the senate have framed
for the Philippines, and which was re-
ported to the senate today by Senator
Lodge.
The Philippines are so far away. so lit
tie interest is felt in them, and so strong
ly does the impression prevail that the
Filipinos themselves are a grade or two
below the American Indian, and therefore
Mt only to be wards OF a benevolent ma
ton, that the senators who have the mat

for hesitation, because of any eonceiv-

The matter is in truth interesting here
only as showing to what extremes our

The government to be given the Fill
pinos is to be an oligarchy of the strong

try the colonial system of Great Britain
stripped of all regard for individual rights
or public representation.
The finances of the island are to be
turned over TO the private individuals for
what they can make out Of them. There
is to be established one great bank which
will do the banking for the islands and
have the right to establish branches In
Asia and elsewhere.
This bank will be permitted to issue
notes upon assets. and can make its as
sets what It pleases. 1t can deal in prod
