Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson,
Ga.
Dear Mr.. Watson: Herein please
find nv first and editorial pages.
though [ will say that the warm
weather and heavy work outside him
der me in my editorial work. which
is not in the quiet Of an Office. but
amid the clash Of printing machin-
cry.
1t is with sorrow that I inform vou
that our dear friend, the Hon. John
M. Pease, Of Mt. Vernon, S. D.. was
killed in a cyclone that passed over
this state last Saturday about z D.
m.' the only victim of the storm which
swept through large portion of the
state. 1t is sad, very sad. He got
his wife and part Of the family into
cyclone cellar, and went out toward
a grove where two or three of the
older boys had taken refuge, when the
storm came upon him, and he was
found dead after it passed over him
Difficulties are thickening. Demo-
Gratis have made, in my Judgment,
mistake. Yours truly,
J. A. ROSS.

l am not fretting any to hurt
but sometimes it seems to me that ra-
form editors might be more liberal
IN their attitude toward me, when
they remember my losses in New York
and my long term of service in their
ranks.
They might, at least, let their
readers know that I established new
magazine, and went right ahead with
the reform work.
DeFrance and Mann took mailing
list and all-consequently have had
no way to even let my old readers
know that the Jeffersonian Magazine
was in existence.
Thousands of those readers do not
know my side of that smash-up: and
don't know of>the weekly paper and
monthly magazine which we publish
In Atlanta, When Watson's Jeffer-
sonian Magazine is listed along with
dozens of others in Clubbing list

LETTERS FRON THE PEOPLE

Conway, Ark, Aug. "a, 1907.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson,
Ga.
Dear Friend Tom: 1 am just in,
receipt Of your letter enclosing card
for your publications, which will run
as you direct in the Tribune. But
I wish to say that same will not cost
you one cent.
Here I wish to say that your car9
of some four weeks ago, requesting
special mention Of your papers II
club offer, T received and turned over
to my manager, with instructions to
comply, and | never had noticed that
same had failed to appear. I am sor
ry of this, but I have so much on nv
hands, [ have to allow some one e1so
the principal management of the
Tribune, hence the mistakes.
wish you success.
BEN. Z. GRIFFIN.
Note: All right, Ben. NV idea
was that your Tribune was such a
good paper that I was determined to
pay my way in, if I couldn't get in
any other way.
The Jeffersonian means to get be-
fore the people somehow or other. and
when our brother quill-drivers seem
reluctant to club with me, I write
out little advertisement, and send
a little cheque.

ANSWER.

Jefferson ignored the Supreme
Court when it ordered him, the Pres
ident, to appear as a witness in the
Aaron Burr trial.
Jackson ignored the Supreme Court
when it decided in favor of the Cher
okee Indians against the State Of
Georgia.
Lincoln ignored the Supreme Court
when it tried to release on Habeas
Corpus proceedings citizens whom
Uncle Sam thought had been locked
up.

A LETTER.
Editor Ishmaelite, Sparta, Ga.

Editor Ishmaelite, Sparta, Ga.
Dear Sir: The editorial in the
Ishmaelite of the End inst. entitled
"The People Should Vote" is
clear appeal for simple justice. I
had favored prohibition and was glad
the state had gone dry, out this edi-
torial has caused me to stop and
think. I do not believe in that per-
nicious doctrine, "The end justifes
the MEANS" and I feel that you are
right in the position you take.
There is another subject that
have given much thought to that I
would like to see handled editorially
by you, and that is this immigration
movement, which movement appears
to be superseded by other more i'm
portant~ matters just at present, but
which may be renewed to the harm
of the only pure blood of America,
the southern people, at any time.
[ wish to say to you that my father
and those who surrendered with him
at Appomattox, did not intend to
surrender ALL when they gave up
their muskets on the battle fields of
Virginia! They did not intend to
surrender their identity, when Lee
surrendered to Grant! It seems to
me that the encouragement of for
eign immigration coupled with the
constant moving Of the white people
from the country to the towns and
cities will, sooner or later, bring
about the loss Of our identity as a
people.
Methinks were some of our fathers
to rise from their graves and view
the conditions that might result, that
they would turn back with a sicklv
smile crying, The victory of the
North has indeed been won! A ma
ton, pure and noble people, have
indeed been wiped from the face of
the earth!
1t is sad, but true, that when our
people move to towns they too often
change their manners and customs.

Mr.. T. E. Watson.
Dear Sir: Will you please tell me
where and what will be the cost of
the consular reports and statistical
abstract you spoke of in your address
at Beall Springs?
Thanking you for the favor and
hoping to hear from you soon,
I am yours very truly,

weekly Jeffersonian and think them

reached me at all, had not the Post
Master down there been good enough
to address the envelope correctly.
The books cost nothing. Congress
men have them furnished, upon re-
quest.

HOW ABOUT TT, SENATOR
CAMP?

WatSOn's s weekly JeHcrSonlan:
I notice in The Atlanta Journal,
copied from the Weekly Jeffersonian
Of the editorial page, Gov. Smith had
a big job on his hands during the ses-
sion Of the Legislature fighting some
Of ''The Old Gang"
/ desire to ask you some very i'm
portant questions through your pa
per, which are as follows:
l. Our Senator, B. F. Camp, of
the 31st Senatorial district, contend
ed all through his campaign he was
for Hoke Smith and his principles
and was duly elected; his record now
shows he did not stand up to Gov.
Smith on all of the measures. What
ought to be done with Senator
Campq
2. Senator Camp, during his cam
paign, said from nearly every stump
in the county he would suffer his
right arm cut off before he would ac,
cept free pass or any courtesies or
favors from the railroads under any
circumstances, and before the Legis-
lature met he was riding on a pass
he continued throughout the session
on his pass, going and returning near
~ once week to see his family.
What can be done with Senator
Campq
3. We have charged Senator Camp
through the papers with riding on
free pass, which we know to be true;
he will not admit nor deny the charge
What must we do with such Sena-
terss
4. Suppose the people elect Sen,
ators and Representatives through
out Georgia on the reform measures
and each time betray the confidence
Of the people during Gov Smith s
administration, how will the people
get the reform measures on the stat
ute books?
J. A. MCDUFF. ,
Lavonia, Ca, Aug. "a, 1907.
Note: We are glad to publish
this.
1t is high time the people walked
up to the way their representatives
behave after they get to Atlanta.
If Senator Camp has good ans
wer to these fair questions, let him
send it right along; we will publish
it.
Let other citizens do with their
representatives just what Mr.. Nc
Duff has done with Senator Camn-

The first cotton bloom brought in to the ARGUS at Brinkley was one from Lee Mahan. deserving and hard working colored farmer oi Dark Com CT. sent in on Saturday last.

 "In spite of our early back sets and hinderances. Dark Corner has fine crop prospects. Cotton Is grcwinu fine and is we'll formed in plant. have 4oacres Of early cotton which Is now about to bloom and 50 acres ol late planting. ltaII looks well but belisve Is fully 25 days late.
 Corn in Dark Corner is looking fine. It is in full bloom with silk. and tasseIs and with a little more rain will be 0. K.
 There was fire in Dark Corner on July 3rd, when the home of MT. Bush. living on A. C. Carters farm, was de : stroyed. He lost all of his household effects. '

Mistakes will Occur.

To publish a newspaper without oc- casionaIly publishing an item that IS incorrect is like running railroad without having any accidents.
 It can't be done.
 No man in the world is so likely to be imposed upon as the editor of a newspaper. Pushed with work con tinuaily, he must rely in great meas ure upon second and third parties for information as to events that transpire. Statements are frequently received rom reliable people which are sub
 squently discovered to be incorrect. f. therefore, kind reader, an item ap- pears in your home paper about you hat is incorrect. don't 'fly oil the handle about it, but go to the editor End ask for a correction. and take our vord for it. you will be received Ike gentleman and the correction made with pleasure.
