Quote the poet correctly. | have never been

the fraudulent election-method, the Soft

who dearly loves dram.
We can no more get rid of these things than

But what I did express a faint hope of ex-

Good for DR.. ". C.. Lovett!

The Wesleyan Christian Adv0cate has &C
tually gone and printed letter. written by
:sthis man" on Foreign Missions.
Thank you, DR.. Lovett!
Thank vou Brother Golfer. [ didn't think
you could hold out forever against my per
suasions, Establishments, ca]olerles, 1mportu-
mites, solicitations, eXhortatlons, beseech-
ments, entreaties, supphcatlons, and genial r.
resistibility.
True, you kept the letter back, until you
could~show it to Rev. w. c. Cleclzler, and get
his answer, to print along with my commune
cation; but while this is by no means GUS
tomary, no kick is coming.
Brother Checker now comedies that [ am
not liar; and [ feel 'real" good. Somehow,
[ consider myself vindicated, rehabilitated,
whitewashed freshly veneered, newly paint
ed, and generally repaired replenished, rein
vigorated, and made fit to keep company with
genteel folks
Brother ClecEler, though, just had to have
a liar to sustain his side Of it, and he now
names the New York World That's all right:
| hold no retainer from Pulitzer and his
World. If | were betting man, however, [
would be willing to stake a mouse colored
mule, against Christmas gobbler, that the
New York World correctly reported the Rev
DR.. Macarthur 1t had no motive whatever
to tell lies on him; and even the most notori-
Gus liars generally have motives
But the Ad00cate has another letter from
''this man.: it is reply to Towson's last roar.
Rev. W. e. Towson is the pamphleteer who
bitterly denies comparing me to "Lucifer, the
father of les, and who makes handsome
amends by chasing me with Judas Iscariot.
DR.. Lovett, please give your readers my
kindly response to Bro. Towson.

A Fe0, of DuckzV0rth's Lies
Editor of The JEFFERsoNIAN:
Please answer the following questions through the
Weekly JEFFERsoNIAN
CD Was Mr.. Bodenhamer the Manager of THE
JEFFERsoNIAN in 1908?
~ Did you get mad with Mr.. Duc<worth just be-
cause the Union Ne,cs secured Bodenhamer's service
(3l Have you always advocated and upheld the
Merchant Marine?
a. Have you made desperate struggle to
consolidate The JEFFERsONIAN and the Union NeCs?
(5) Have you ever at any time announced that The
JEFFERsoNIAN would be bowling success if it
not for that Union NerS?
These a few of the charges made against you at
last county meeting of the Farmers Union. They
were made by a Ducksonian who declared that the
subject would be submitted to the public
Yours truly, G. D. IRWIN.

~ I did not Duck was perfectly well
come to Bode.
(3) Have always occupied my present po-
sition on Merchant Marine.
(4) No. When Gordon Nye was in charge
of our Atlanta office, more than taco gears
ago, (Spring of 1909 he suggested combi-
nation of the Union Neacs and The JEFFER-
soNIAN, and may have spoken to Ducl1worth
on the subject [ myself did not even write
to Duckworth about it, took only a passing
interest in it, and certainly made no "desper-
ate effort" in that direction.
(5) Never It is a bowling success re-
gardless of the Union Neo0s. / have said
that the existence of so many Farmers Union
papers Gall of which are owned by self-seek-
ing individuals,) naturally operated to make
the success of such paper as mine a slow
proposition. But in the same connection, [
have always said that the people would, after
awhile, lose interest in SO many agricultural
papers, and would turn to those publications
that dealt with live political topics. My pre-
dictiOn IS coming true THE JEFFERsoNIANs,
weekly and monthly, have perhaps five times
more readers than the Union Ne1oS.
I hare nothing to hide. DUCKWORTH
HAS, That's the reason he stays qnder coz
en-, and lies about me, IN secret meetings.
When Bodenhamer took charge of Ducks
paper, he practically boycotted THE JEFFER-
soNIAN, by refusing to accept subscriptions
from us at less than Is cents. He accepted
them from other papers at so cents and s.
cents.
OF course, this unfriendly discrimination
against The JEFFERsoNIAN was not liked by
us. but we said nothing.
Then Duckworth put into his editorial col
umns an attack which the Augusta Herald
had made on me, under misapprehension
of the facts / wrote stiff criticism of Duck
worth, and mailed to Atlanta; but John Lee
and Charley Smith happened In at my house,
Immediately afterwards, and because of what
passed between us, my article was called off

a0hich Is penazised IN Sections 212, 213 and
