MOTHERS GARDEN.
r,rnm Mn,her,s Marazine

Al writer in What to Eat makes a
blea "for the return to the old d-fash-
ioned garden that mother supervised
and the children kept. There is dis
cipline, education, love, duty and re-
ligion in such garden for mother and
child. / care little how small the patch
of ground may be, plant 1t to something
and teach the child how to care for the
growths. We worry much about pure
foods. They are at the doors OF all
who can have garden, II only they
knew it. Till the soil to make 1t pro-
duce food Invite the children to study
books that teach the care of the soil
and how to raise food. Show them that
gardening when understood Is not
drudgery, but a healthful delightful
work 1t is easy to lead the minds of
most children along this way, for they
love the fresh air, the turning OF the
soil and the care of growths. Step by
step take the children into the writ
ings OF John Muir, of John Burroughs,
of Luther Burbank--writings which the
children can understand. They will see
gardening and plan cultivation in a
new light. There is something more
than this also. The effort may lead the
child through it's natural tastes into
permanent and profitable life occupa-
tion. We complain much, fear, at not
knowing what to do with the children
when they flll the house with noise.
The panacea to my mind is In the gar
den, and / would take them to that
garden through the delightful books
and pictures on the subject that now
fill every public library Of note. Gar
dening is one of the first sciences man
mastered. 1t is yet the backbone of
prosperous Germany, Holland and
France. 1t was the most profitable
pleasure of carly New England days
With our many unused acres in the
west let us return to 1T, for the love
of the child whom we wish to come into
masterful life clean Of hand and pure
of mind"

SEEDING COMMENCED IN WEST.
ERN CANADA.
The Prospects for a Large Acreage
TO Be SOwn In Wheat.

The Prospects for a Large Acreage
to BE SOwn In Wheat.
st. Paul, April "a, 190T.--Word has
been received at the Office Of the Cana
dian Government in St. Paul that seed
Ing has commenced at various points
throughout Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground In splendid
shape for successful seeding operations.
The fine weather Of the past few days
has taken much of the frost out Of the
ground, and during next week there
will scarcely be district in which the
seeder is not being operated. The most
optimistic conditions exist, and In all
districts the farmers are busy getting
things in shape. There will be very
large acreage sown in spring wheat,
oats and barley. At many points
throughout the three provinces the
newcomers are busy unloading their
stock and effects, working night and
day In order to get on their farms and
become active agencies in the effort to
make the year 1907 the banner year in
grain-producing in Western Canada.
AS compared with districts many hun
dred miles further south than this, 1t
will be seen that Western Canada
ranks amongst the first in the line Of
seeding operations for the present year.
1t is safe to say that farmers, who get
in their crop before the Goth or 9th Of
May, will receive magnificent returns.
A number Of those coming in this
spring, who had not their land pre-
pared last fall, will break up enough
land to get in a crop of oats and barley
and probably some fax. This, together
with the vegetables they will plant,
will give them ample food for them
selves and stock during the coming
summer and winter. These early seed
Ing operations are not confined to one
district, but are spread over a country
zoo miles long by 400 miles In width.
The agents Of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are busy
giving information regarding the many
new districts that are being made avail
able for settlers. Low railway rates,
information and literature are given on
application TO the agent. whose name
appears in advertisement elsewhere In
Nhis paper. .E...

An old Letter Comes to Light:
And It Made Me Feel Good.

Our readers will remember reference, in
my letter which closed the correspondence
with Bishop Gambler, to remark made on the
train by gentleman whose name was un-
known to my informant.
The gentleman, speaking to a Methodist
preacher who is good friend of mine, de-
clared that letter written by me in favor of
Prohibition had helped carry his County
"Dry," years ago.
expected that this reference to the un-
known gentleman would bring both himself
and the letter to the front.
And so it has.
From the letter given below, it will be seen
that the gentleman who made the remark on
the train is Hon. S. A. Roddenbery of Thorn
asvile, Ga
He is good enough to send a copy of the let
ter to which he referred. Our readers will see
that 1t was written in 1893

Now that all the mail of the two Jefferson
ians goes to Thomson, Mr.. Watson is able to
see who is at work helping him build up the
circulation of the Magazine and Weekly.
Hereafter, the Weekly Jeffersonian will pub
lish the names of twelve friends who have
during the preceding week, sent in the largest
number OF subscribers to the weekly.
Beginning with the October issue, the Mag
azine will give the names of the twelve
friends who have sent in the largest list of
subscribers to the magazine.
In this Roll of Honor Mr.. Watson hopes to
have the pleasure of writing the names of
hundreds of his friends throughout the coun-
try.

WATsoN's WEEKLY JEFFERsoN1AN.


Noticing that my subscription of 6 months
ago, is out this week, | regret very much to
ask you to discontinue the Jeffersonian Week
ly. will try to re-subscribe again soon, but,
as you know | am Consumptive invalid,
with no way to make any money, and am de-
pendent upon my married brother for what I
get now. Like your cartoons in September's
Magazine, everything has "gone up" in Macon,
too. Right now. am really not financially
able. Have certainly enjoyed every paper
have ever read. Will still try to get you all
subscribers / can.
Mr.. Watson, won't you please write an ar
tlcle in one of your publications on this sub
ject:
"The States Neglect to Care for Her Con-
sumptives"?
A Consumptive should be looked after be-
fore an Insane person because, in going near
the patient, you catch the disease and die. The
person that gave it to you will surely die. The
persons that wait on the two will catch it and
die. Four deaths
There is a case on record of sisters and
their mother, nursing each other in succession,
with the disease; all six died, one at a time.
The consumptive must stay penned up like
prisoner. Barred from all society complete
ly. Very few doctors will even come around,
and that few don't know what to do for you.
There should be Sanitarium for such un-
fortunates. A place where even the poor can
get proper treatment-or what treatment is
known A place where fresh eggs, milk and
other proper food and nourishment can be
gotten. A place where just as soon as per-
son is known to have the disease, send him
right to the Santarium and get it nipped in
the bud. The State spends millions of dollars
yearly in raising salaries, paying fake R. R.
Commissioners, and supporting Sanitariums
and Asylums, and fooling with the negro in
some way-educating him, etc.
Yet, there are more white people passing in
to the Great Beyond, yearly, over the Con-
sumptive Route, than are killed or assaulted
by the whole Black Race
Legislature after Legislature meets for the
good and improvement of the State; yet, not
one word is spoken of this Great Subject, and
not one cent is reduced from the Consump-
tives' high-priced, necessary medicine. That
is to say. Dgitalis, Nuxvonlica and Opium.
Please write your opinion soon.
Yours always for success,
ROBERT. E. BENTON.
Mote The Jefersonian will continue to
visit Mr.. Benton, just about once a week, as
long as he abides on this side of the River
which we hope will be long term of years.)

If you are not in too big hurry, PLEASE
READ THAT LETTER

"Thomasville, Ga, August 81, 1907
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: Reading your recent article in
the daily papers recalled to my mind letter
written by you which was used to great advan-
tage in the Prohibition Campaign in Thomas
County, in 1893 At this time, l was Chair
man of the County Campaign, and caused
your letter to be thoroughly circulated
throughout the country. We thanked you then,
and we thank you now, for the contribution.
Enclosed find copy of the letter, as you
have no doubt forgotten this service rem
dered.
"Yours truly,
"(signed) s. A. RODDENBERY."
The old letter of 1893 which he digs up is
as follows:
Thomson, Ga, Oct 3o 1893
Mr. J. w. Barwick, Esq, Cairo, Ga.
Dear Sir: Yours received. Absence from
home has delayed my reply.
II had supposed that my position on the Ii
quor Traffic question was we'll known through
out the State In theory and in practice Pro
, h1bltlon is the inevitable doctrine of the lover
OF good morals-in my judgment. I can un-
derstand how the lawless, the disorderly and
the immoral citizens can support the barrooms
and rejoice to see the community cursed with
the fruit which that sort of tree naturally
bears; but cannot, for the life of me, under.
stand how any citizen who believes in the
maintenance Of the peace, good order and dig.
nifty of his community can give his sanction ia
the liquor traffic when he is bound to know
that the barrooms are the breeders of vice hot
beds OF crime, sewers of iniquity, and stand
ing batteries whose business it is to batter
down the school house and the Church.
He who pretends to be sincere believer in
the benefits conferred on the community by
the schools and churches, stultiies himself
when he votes for the barroom, for the work
OF the latter is to destroy the benefits of the
others.
These views of mine are not new, nor ex-
pressed for "a purpose personal to myself
ask for nothing in political way, and only
write this much because you invited it, and be-
cause the experience of forty-two years has
deepened within me those convictions which
held as boy, and which have always main
tanned as a man.
I'm my own county, I aided those who
broomed out the Bar-room, some 20 wears
ago, and I am proud of it. All the money of
the LIQUOR Dealers Association could not
force whiskev back into McDuf7e County. No
decent white man or negro in this community
would sign petition to bring it back

Were you one of those who signed the Peti-

If so, pray read the article headlined,

Then, if it opens your eyes to the deception
that was practised upon you, take your name
off the Petition.
1t is not too late.
Write to Postmaster General Meyer, Wash

Simply drop him Postal Card, stating
that you signed without having fully under
stood the subject; and asking him to file your
card as Protest against the Petition.
Such cards will have great weight with the
President and with Congress-
They will prove that the people are becom-

How on earth can you expect to put stop
