A RE-AWAKENING ON THE Sill
YER QUESTION.

Dear Sir:-In your reply to Ira V.
Maxwell in the June number of the
Jeffersonian Magazine as to the eff
fects of the gold standard system,
you present phase of the silver
question as yet very little understood
in this country, but which is grad
ually and surely forcing itself upon
the notice of manufacturers, pro-
ducers and exporters to the extent
that politicians and so-called states
men will be forced to consider and
discuss that silver issue as it relates
to our economic and trade relations
in the very near future. =
When our manufacturers and pro-
ducers generally throughout the
country fully comprehend the condi-
lions you have presented, no subsi-
died press or class of politicians will
be able to suppress the demand for
effective legislation to correct the
evil.
A new awakening upon the silver
question is in the air, and I hope you
will make the Jeffersonian Magazine
the leading vehicle for it's dissemina-
tion by special articles from your able
pen along the lines of your reply to
Mr.. Maxwell
Very truly yours,
JAMES CONFETTI.

IT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP.

Dear Sir:-I wish every laboring
man in America could read your JEFF

would settle the question.
Now, brother reformer, Mr.. Wat
son has, and is, making a great sac
rifce trying to educate the people,
and arouse them, that they may
throw off the yoke of bondage and be
free once more. Writing letters
praising Mr.. Watson's noble work is
all right, and we know he appreciates
it, but what are you doing for the
cause of humanity, brother? Now

LET THE DEMOCRATIC SHIP SAIL
TO THE POPULIST PORT.

My Dear Sir:-Can the Democratic
party of the South be insulted? First
the Denver Bryan Convention went
for the Georgia delegation with
Marching Through Georgia" and
came near causing fight. The same
body Kissed the name of our greatest
soldier, Gen. R. E. Lee. Then Bryan
conciliated the niggers and got their
aid. He lost in the West by this
niger deal, and his majority was re-
duced in the South. The fact that he
got single intelligent vote in the
South has caused me to lose both
sleep and flesh.
Mr.. Blackburn wrote an article on
DR.. Lees sermon published in Sun
days Constitution in which 1 found
much to commend. He speaks of
Bailey as Bryans successor, and re-
grets that Mr.. Watson cannot come
with the Democrats, admits that they
must get back to the old landmarks
that Mr.. Watson is camping on
Here is political ship at sea with
out captain, knowing neither lati-
tude nor longitude, an old worm

the kind of thing that our Democratic
friends ask captain for. True, it is
good enough craft for Bryan or Bal
ley to master. We invite our Demo

Dear Sir:-I have been intensely
interested in your articles on For
eign Missions. l never knew before
the extent of those secular schools
Now, with your permission, allow
me to request, in case you write
more on this, that you develop this
fact: while we, of the South, have
spent our monies in China, Japan,
ETC., the Northern people have spent
their millions on the negroes of the
South. They took the South for their
field Of operation, combining their
work, religious and secular, among
the negroes. While our work had a
religious motive to spread the COS
pei, the Northern philanthropists had
in view a political purpose. We went
to China and Japan and Korea, etc.;
they invaded the South. With what
result? For forty years they have
spent millions and millions in South
ern states on negro schools and col
leges, secular schools, to such an ex-
tent that the negro colleges of At
lanta alone have more endowment
money than all the white colleges,
male and female, of Georgia, COM
bined. In that one city! Leaving
out Augusta, Macon, Columbus,
Rome, Americas, Albany, Thomas
vile, and others, whose negro
schools and colleges under Northern
auspices abound.
1t is startling how the North has
invaded the South for negro educa-
ton, while we have gone to China,

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Japan, and other foreign countries.
The Northern policy confronts us
with this solemn fact,-that negroes
are being educated and poor whites
not. Hence, public duty, business,
our civilization, our preservation
from mongrelization of our politics,
demand that the South take hold of
the education of illiterate whites.
We must do it; the North will not.
They go where the smell of the Afri-
can attracts.
Taft's plan is for educated negroes
to vote, to be recognized, and he says
our disfranchisement laws will be
permitted, provided that in the APP
plication we eliminate the illiterate
white as well as the black, and that
there be no distinction at all as to il
literacy. He threatens us with the
Supreme Court if we undertake to
hold uneducated white voters and
eliminate the uneducated blacks. So
we see where the rub will come.
When the uneducated white man
sees that the educated" negro is
placed above him and allowed the
ballot over him, then will arise such
acuteness of the race question as will
startle the world AS no Northern
hand is extended to the poor white
man of the South, but to the negro,
for political purposes, how urgent be-
comes our duty to offset the work of
the North among the negroes by ed
ucating our own needy whites.
And it is this view of the subject I
hope you will develop. We must
meet negro education by white edu-
cation, and this is why write to call
your attention to this phase of the
subject
Our religious denominations can
not we'll abandon what they have
done, but they can decline to increase
their labors on the line of secular
schools, and turn to preparation
for meeting the conflict between led
ucated" negroes and uneducated
whites.
1t was sorry craftsmanship on the
part of the North to spend it's mil
lions on negro education, and moth
ing to advance and help and educate
needy whites. Our soldiers of the
future must be white men, not ne
groes. And as the North prefers the
negro and refuses the helping hand
to our illiterate white children, 1t
then is imperative on us, of the
South, to come to their rescue; and
that done, in future years, we can ex-
tend operations in foreign fields

FROM THE BERRY SCHOOL.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-I think you
good by making an appeal to Geor-
gians and all Southerners to come
forward and help us raise 100000
for our school, We are rejoicing
over the $4,000 given by Mrs. Sage
and Mr.. Carnegie-$25,0 600 each.
This is a conditional offer, and |
must work very, very hard to raise
the $4,000. Now that we have half
of it promised we are hoping that
our own Georgia people will help us
out. I know of no better way. to get
this money than by asking for the
generous and loyal support of the cit
liens of our State through the press.
[ look to you to make strong ap-
peal in our behalf, because I know
you can do so in a fetching" way
(I hope). I do want to raise at least
$4,000 in Georgia. If 100 men
would give $500 each we could get
the $4,000, or if 500 people would
give 500. Please help us out. I
have been working on these philan-
thropists for long time, and | GER
tainly want to use every effort to
show them that I can raise the re-
quired amount.

FRIENDS"
Editor Jeffersonian:-I see in Let
tiers from the People that a majority
of the writer's want National Con-
ference attended by representatives
from all reform parties. Some of the
writer's seem to advocate union OF
forces but want to retain the name
POpulist, which would be fusion.
Others want Democrat spliced on to
the name, saying that there is pref
udice against the name Populist,
which will keep voters away from us.
Great God, what an idea! Just how
any rational man can get the idea
that the use of the word Democrat
would improve any name is hard to
understand.
While l was raised in the Demo-
cratic party, and was blind party
slave until past middle age, there is
now no name which sounds more
empty to me. The man who cannot
be drawn to a party by the love Of
principles advocated, but can be
drawn by the name is not only worth
less to the party, but an injury. Such
men would likely desert us when the
plutocratic band wagon comes on the
scene. Of course, If we have Ma
tional Conference and succeed in
forming a union of forces, which is
our only hope for success, then it
will be necessary to change the name
to avoid fusion. But to change the
name in order to induce individuals
to come to us is the silliest kind of
foolishness.
There is entirely too much being
said about Jeffersonian Democracy,
Jeffersonian principles, etc. Populist
principles are much better, and if
they cannot stand alone, they cannot
be successfully propped by the use of
the words Democrat or Jefferson. In
unguarded efforts to catch the par
tisan Democrat, the partisan Repub-
lican is driven away. 1t is high time
that we rid ourselves of sectional
prejudice,-a commodity which has
been worn threadbare by corrupt pol
iticians and party bosses, to the very
great injury of all sections. On the
first Monday in January, 1851, I en-
listed for service in the Confederate
Army at Darlington, S. G. We were
ordered to FIT. Sumter, but arrived
too late to take part in the COM
mencement skirmish. On the 3rd of
June, 81, we went to Richmond, Va,
in which State | served nearly four
years. And If there was any such
thing as duty in the army on either
side in that conflict, I suppose I did
mine. Being only IS years of age at
time of enlistment, I knew about as
much about what was going to war
for as razorback hog would have
known. 1t is at least reasonable to

Wednesday night his wife phoned to
the son in Shreveport to know what
was OBTAINING his father. The sad an
swer came that he left for his home
Monday evening. The town was thrown
into excitement when this was known,
as Mr. Mayield was a sturdy, quiet,
sober man A business man of excep-
tionally fine attainments, and no other
conclusion than that he had met with
foul play could be reached by any one
who knew him, and early Thursday
morning railroad officials had been COM
municated with and assistance in search
promised, and searching parties from
here and other places between here and
Shreveport were out. About o'clock
Thursday letter written by Mr.. May
field to Sheriff Gahagan was received,
bearing date of the 9th, but failed to
state where written, only that the writer
was on train writing The postmark
could not be read, and no correct idea
of what train could be reached. The
evidence was conclusive that Mr.. May
field wrote the letter, and the foul play
theory was abandoned.
Everything possible has been done
to locate him, but to no avail. No the
CRY of worth advanced as to the cause
of his mysterious disappearance-jus t
known that it is a fact, and nothing
more. His family, relatives and friends
are deely grieved and the greatest arlx-
iety for an early hearing experienced.
The continued absence of Mr.. May
field and the failure to locate him, or
to obtain information of him, is very
distressing not only to those who love
him and are dear to him, but his friends
are also deeply concerned. Since nc
news has been received of him., which
may be deemed distressing, let the hope
be cherished that he is safe and not i'll
and that in a few days those who love
him will be cheered by the knowledge
| of his whereabouts of not his return
| home.

The Pressure Was Too Much.


The man of the future sat back at
ease in his luxurious armchair MS
feet arranged before him along the
lines of least resistance.
At his elbow was keyboard that
connected him with the outer world.
He touched a button, and through a
gold mounted transmitter was thrust
his morning paper. He touched an
other, and tray containing his break
fast rose before him.
1t seemed an easy thing to do. he
had but to lift his finger.
A photograph began calling on tne
opening of the stock market. a piano
attachment gave out the strains OF the
latest opera. Three friends in distant
parts of the empire babe him gooo
morning and communicated some piece
of gossip In response to his inquiry.
He talked with the manager OF ms OF
fee with his tailor, his airship maker
and his architect.
With him 1t was indeed busy day.
Finally his head sank back. He was
overcome by the unusual exertion. He
looked worried.
His wife entered.

JUST REBUKE TO THE PRESS

JUST REBUKE TO THE PRESS.
New Orleans Picayune: Hon. Henry
Watterson of the Louisville Courier
Journal is doubtless the most distin-
guished member of the press of the
United States. Last night, at Washing
ton City, at a reception rendered him
by the Press Club, he addressed that
body on the gross abuses of the privacy
of citizens and their families by seekers
of news and opinions. He said:
No household seems any longer safe
against our intrusions. Our reporters
are being turned into detectives. As
sure as this is not checked we shall
grow to be the objects of fear and ha-
tired instead of trust and respect.
1T subjects you aversion and con-
tempt brings your high and mighty
calling into disrepute-by confusing the
purpose and functions of the newspaper
with those of the boxinan and the scav-
enger. have been proud of that call
ing all my life, and when | go to my
account want to see clean and hon
ored flag flying from the masthead. /"
This is so true that in many cases it
amounts to an outrage. It is sometimes
the fault of too jealous reporter and
sometimes that of news editor who in
his determination to get something he
desires in the way of an interview
drives his reorters to the extremes of
indecent intrusion. There is nothing
wrong in the desire TO secure such news
or opinions, but TO violate the privacy
of families, as il TOO often the case, is,
to say the least, an abuse that should
not be tolerated. Mr. Watterson's
words should be accepted as warning
as well as a condemnation.
