Dear Sir:-I heartily agree with
you in what you say of the Federal
Courts, but we must go slow. The
Socialists are good men, but they
scare the great middle class, and no
party can hope to succeed unless it
can get the active support of the
great middle aclss We must work

Presidential election with a good
platform, but not as Socialists We
must make platform that will suit
the common people and middle class

sECTARIANIsM AN ABOMINATION

The Jeffs:-In replying to sister
in regard to joining the church and
living a Christian life. She bewails
my lost condition and is praying that

church. She thinks that the fact
that | am not member of the church
is prima facie evidence that I am
not Christian; that if you love the
Lord, you should love his bride, also,
which is true.
I begin my letter thus: "Know We
not that the kingdom is within YOU"
says the Acts of the Apostles. So
you see that what we call the church
is not necessarily a part of Gods
kingdom; in fact, the church in name
may be anything else but a part of
Gods creation or kingdom. In fact,

THERE WE'RE OTHERS THAT AT.
Tackled GOLFERS WEEKLY

Editor Jeffersonian:-I note that
you say that only about three South
ern papers took notice of the sour
rilous attack of Golfers last spring
upon the women of the South. Ours
is probably too small a paper to be
classed as Southern, but The Press
not only had a leading editorial de-
nouncing old Collier, but it publish
ed Naples Rip Saw editorial on the
question, and 1t did the work here
of cutting out Golfers.
The cambridge Post also stated
that the people there were cutting out
Golfers. There may have been nu-
merous small sheets that did the
same, that editors of large papers
like your own never have time to
open.
Golfers insinuation that the
white women of the South were
willing to negro outrages was the
most scurrilous insult to Southern
womanhood that we have ever been
forced to endure, and l do not see
how any self-respecting Southern
man will let it come into his house.
But their agents are again busy in
this section, and we are so forgetful
that we will take the paper again if
we are not reminded that we are
supporting viper to sting us.
Respectfully,
J. S. WADE, JR.,

THE HOME FIELD is CALLING US

Dear Sir:--I have put off writing
to you for long time, and I will

I am twenty-five years old and

the last year, and think they are fine
and will read them as long as 1 am

half as much the next six months as
they have fought you the last six
months, for they fight you more than
they do the devil.
1 have just read President Nc
Leans letter, and I am surprised at
him. If a few Of the farmers here
could get one thousand dollars a year,
they would think they were rich.
What is he thinking about? Good
God, come down here, Mr. Mclean,
into Carroll county, Georgia, in this
boosted land Of liberty. and see for
yourself that there is not a farmer
in this settlement that handles one
thousand dollars. None of them are
out Of debt. Come and see men that
can not send their children to school
because they are not able to clothe
them; come and see widows with a
flock Of little children for whom they
can hardly get enough food to satisfy
the hunger that gnaws at their stom-
achs like the demons of hell. Come,
you religious fanatics, and see the
sO-called schOOlhouses that are rot
ting down and are not fit for dog
to stay in come and see the shanties
that are called churches, and the lit
tie no-account dwellings that we live
in, and the poverty that is here.

do not have to trot twelve thousand
miles to find something to do! Will

the pilothouse and examining the wood

A Clock Case Made of Pennies.

A novelty in clockmaking consists
of a timepiece whose case is made of
English pennies. The coins, of which
there are n~inety-six, all bear the date
1897 and were beaten out to ALMOST
double their original size and then
riveted together, while the figures were
made of small strips of copper cement
ed on to the face. The clock stands
fourteen inches high and is eight inch
es broad at the base. That "time is
money is an adage with which we all
more or less agree, but this is a case
in which the saying might be reversed
and still remain true. The clock is
owned by a resident of Laurel Bank.

In Ecuador, one Of the South Ameri-
can republics, the bark of a tree which
grows on the slopes of the Andes Is
utilized for the making Of blankets.
The blanket Is over six feet long and
over five feet wide and is as soft and
pliable as though 1t were made of fan
mel. 1t Is about the thickness Of a
good flannel blanket and can be rolled
up and put in a strap without hurting
or injuring it. This tree or bark blan-
ket Is merely a strip of bark cut from
a section of the trunk of the blanket
or demajagua tree. The Indians make
a cutting around the trunk to get 1t,
and they prepare 1t by soaking it in
water until it is soft. 1t is then pound
ed so that the rough outside can be
stripped off and the inside alone left.
The inside is of fine fbers so Joined
together by nature that 1t makes 3
beautiful blanket, warm enough to b.
used as q and soft enough for a
mattress.
