TO MEMORY OF LINCOLN
Every Loyal American in Whose
Heart is the Love OF Country,
Ideal of Good CITIZENSHIP.

After forty years of inaction on the
part of the American people, the men,
ory of Abraham Lincoln has at last
been honored in way worthy of this
nation.
On February 18th, the centenary of
Lincoln's birth, President Roosevelt
laid the corner stone of Memorial Build
ing at the Lincoln Birthplace Farm, at
the same time dedicating the farm to
the American people forever, as Lin
coin Memorial National Park.
1t is three years since the property
was saved from the hands of specula-
tors and turned over to The Lincoln
Farm Association, composed of citizens
of all the states. The funds for the
Memorial Building and development
work have been contributed in amounts
ranging from rs cents upward by more
than $4,000 people. This is as it should
be. Lincoln was man of the whole
people and it is fitting that this work
of preserving the Birthplace Cabin and
Farm should be the reverent tribute of
the whole people to his memory-a
movement broadly and thoroughly ma
tional in character.
Something more than 800, 00Ois now
available and about $4,000 more is
needed, all of which il is hoped and
expected will be contributed within Il
few months. Every contributor receives
a handsome certificate of honorary
membershipin the association without
liability TO further dues or assessments
of any kind. Each name is also enter
ed in the permanent record to be kept
forever in place of honor at the park.
The amount of the contribution, as
stated before, may be anything from 25
cents upward-the amount is never
made public. 1t is not the amount but
the sgirit in which it is given that
counts.
Mr.. L. V. McCown is chairman of a
committee appointed for Johnson City
to receive contributions and will gladly
do so and make proper acknowledge
ment, providing engraved souvenir re-
ceipt later. He can be found at his Of
flee with Wofiord Bros, or amounts
can be sent to The Comet 10 be deliver
ed TO him.

monuments to mark the route Of the

committee is pushing forward the
work of erecting the monument and
hope in the summer to see its compile

A very interesting pamphlet is being
prepared by the chapter OF "HistoriC
Places" in East Tennessee; it is hoped
q good sum will be realized from the
sale of this, to aid in marking historic
spots.
After the business program an ex-
ceedingly interesting paper, on "The
Beginnings of New England, was read
by Mrs. o. X. Morgan and discussed
by Mrs. w. H, Osborne. Then follow

Hon Thos. e. Watson, Thomson, Ga,
My dear Sir: [ am in receipt OF the
April number of your most valuable
magazine, and have read with the
most intense interest, your able edi-
torial, on the subject Of missions, and
must say, that it is the ablest exposi-
ton, from a Bible standpoint Of the
relation Of church and state that l
have ever read, or heard from press
on pulpit. 1t should be carefully and
earnestly read by every true lover OF
religious and political liberty. It
certainly accords with the teaching of
the meek and lowly Nazarene who
spoke as never man spoke.
[ have two sons, in the Baptist
ministry and shall insist that they
prayerfully read it, and cease to CEN
sure the writer. Every evangelical
minister Of the Gospel should do like
wise.
May an all-wise God continue to
bless and guide you in the great work
you are doing for reform through the
two Jeffersonians, is the earnest
prayer of your "fellow-helper to the

FROM A BAPTIST PREACHER.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: Please find
enclosed card and receipt which will
entitle me to the two Jeffersonians
for fifteen months, as per proposition.
I want to say to you that [ fully
agree with you on the foreign mis-
sion question. I am an ordained min
lister of the Baptist church; lost all
hope Of any reform in our methods by
work on the old members of our
churches. I quit the pastoral work,
and have devoted all my time to Sun
day school WORK among the young peo-
pie to educate them along lines of in
dependent thought, or, in other
words, to apply "horse sense" to our
religion.
I have been teaching the mission
question, that it is like Heaven cast
in three measures of meal. - Now
apply the 'horse sense" to this
figure and see what tho plan would
be.
First. The nature of leaven is to 40
it's work as it comes to it, and it
does not seek more meal to leaven
until it has leavened all the meal it
comes in contact with. Clearly, then,
it does not leave the place in the meal
1t was hid and Jump" TO some otheA
part and leaven a little spot, then
jump to another part, etc.
From the above, the practical order
would be to look after its immediate
community then spread the work as it
came to it until the whole world had
received the same attention.
Well, keep stirring and after all,
perhaps, it will settle right,

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: Under separate cover I
am sending you copy of the Dallas

before the Texas Legislature.
I am sending you this speech, not
for any great wisdom or depth of
thought it may contain, because you
would see at once that [ was big
ger fool than the said W. J. B., but
rather to furnish you some amuse
ment in finding the solution Of the
great "Mystery of 1908"
Bryan says to us for our consolation
that it is a. wonder we did as we'll as
we did when we consider the Repub-
Hcan campaign fund, the army of
government employees, the tremen-
dous newspaper and trust influences
Of the Republican party, but he did
not mention an item that he did not
know before the election, if he ever
buCW d GuJIlS LII His ill., huu JClJ
throughout the campaign and even to
the night before the election, he pre-
dicted with bombastic garrulity all
overwhelming Democratic victory. He
was wilfully ignorant or maliciously
lied when he made those predictions
if he tells the truth when he brings
this consoling information now.
The mystery Of 1908" will never
be cleared up satisfactorily to the
average Democratic voter. What do
you say?
Yours truly,
G. w.

ing fbs. Remember how often and

and her husband had separated, and
that a divorce was contemplated!

DISCUSSING THE GAME LAWS.

U6nCISOuIdll VI UlIO OUl1 l1l0O Oil al
ticle from Messrs. Hopkins, Voolfolk
and Davis entitled "a Game Law that
Would be Worth While. y [ do not
know these gentlemen or their occu-
patton, but judging from their article
they must be sportsmen, at least not
farmers. | have said, and still stick
to it, that Georgia is practically with
out a game law for the protection OF
game and will be, just as long as the
sporting fraternity Of the State sug-
gest, and the Legislature enact laws
to meet their hearty approval. The
sportsmen from the large cities usual
ly keep in close communication with
the local sportsman Of the little rail
road towns, who does nothing but fish
in fishing season and hunt in hunting
season, while his wife and children
make the living; who keeps them
posted as to the bird crop and the
amount-of land posted; so on the first
of November Of each year they land
at the different railroad towns
throughout the State Of Georgia, pro-
cure some trifing negro to pilot them
through the corn and cotton fields of
the busy farmers, shooting their birds
down from over their heads while they
toll on, and it is not right. We
farmers caution our tenants and our
boys not to rob the quails nests, SO
that they may raise more and more
each year. Protecting the nest is
worthless, posting your land is worth
less. The more birds you raise the
more trouble you have with the bird
hunters. If you post your land, some
one will slip in unbeknowing to you,
tear down your notices and shoot your
birds and claim that he did not know
your land was posted. On $50 acres
Of my premises noticed last fall five
nice covies Of quails, and since Jan
uary LIST Of this year l have not seen
more than three or four single birds.
After the farmers have protected the
quails' and doves nests and raised
fine crop Of them, expecting to trap
or shoot some Of them in the fall for
their own consumption, do you think
it is fair to allow the sportsmen from
the cities and towns to come out on
the first day Of the hunting season,
before the birds are grown and before
the farmers, who have fed and cared
for them during tie brooding season
have chance, and shoot them down in
their yards, pastures or fields under a.
license? When the young Americans,
both black and white, see the city and
towns people come out in great
droves, with imported settlers and
pointers and brand new guns that glis-
ten IN the November sunshine like so
many mirrors, taking their birds down
at every crack Of the gun-the birds
they had watched from the time they
Matched until they were grown, and
had thrown corn and peas and bread
around the briar patch to keep them
from leaving until papa would give
them time to build them a trap to
catch some Of them for their own use
