some of them. Was it not shameful thing
for him to vote money out of the pockets of
his constituents into his own!
That is virtually what he did, if he owns
an interest in any of those timber and lumber
corporations
Capt. H. H. Tiff, President of the G. & F.
Saw Mill Association, was so determined to
retain the tariff on lumber that he went to
Washington to attend to the matter in person.
He appeared before the Ways and Means
Committee in November, 1908, and then
Judge Jim Griggs, the Georgia member of
the committee, got him another hearing in
December
Of course, the other Georgia and Florida
corporations which have gathered in the bulk
of the timber lands in those states were just
as earnest and as active as Captain Tiff.
And they got a retention of tariff duties
which will mean at least 50 thousand feet
more to them than they could have got, had
the Democratic Congressman kept their con-
tract with the people. Rough lumber, of
which practically none is marketed by these
big mills, is taxed at 81 per thousand feet,
while dressed lumber is "protected" to the ex-
tent of $237 1-2 per thousand. It is fair to
assume that the people will have to pay about
So more per thousand feet than would have
been the case had not such Congressman as
Taliaferro and Fletcher deserted their own

Soft AnSzVer to the Preachers

A reader of THE JEFFERsONIAN sends the
report of missionary sermon recently
preached in Dublin Ga, by Rev. S. j. Corey.
1t reads we'll, and doubtless made a fine i'm

effect
Brother Corey himself holds fat job un-
der the foreign missions system, and he is not
entirely disinterested in whooping up funds
for the 10000 evangelists that are lucratively
engaged in converting the heather. "Only
the ignorant and selfish oppose" what these
missionaries are doing, according to Brother
Corey. "Only the ignorant and selfish OPP

lively poor people in America to compel
them to pay the expenses of Boards" here
and Boards" yonder, with high priced sec
retaries in liberal numbers conducting mis-
sion work along lines never contemplated by
the Apostles or the Fathers of the Church.
Within few miles of where Rev. Corey
made his elaborate appeal for the heather,
Miss Emma Perry is struggling and striving
to build up an industrial school where the
white boys of Georgia can get lift upward.
That nobly patriotic young woman could
make splendid use of the money which Rev.
Corey will carry out of that community.

China is as yet a silver-and gold country,
but with the portentous coming Of the Lon

His vote is on record and he himself has

against him.
1t gives me no pleasure to chronicle the fact
that SO many Southern Congressman betrayed
their constituents by their votes on the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill. It not only mortifes me
to see them desert their own people in that
manner, but it saddens me- 1t has a tendency

THE JEFFERsoNIAN has large number of
readers in Florida and they know that this
paper will give them information about the
conduct of their representatives in Congress
which they are not apt to find in such cor
poration organs as the Jacksonville Times
Union.
For one thing, I criticised Senator Fletcher
severely because of his vote against free lum-
Der. Let us look into that bit
The Democratic party has always spoken
that subject at all. The national platform
now in force demands the immediate repeal of
the Republican tariff duties on lumber. What
Is a political PLATFORM, If 1t IS not q contract
betooeen the people and those candidates q0hO
2um for office on 1t? If the Democratic de-
mand for the repeal of tariff duties is not
binding upon Democratic Congressman, whom
does it bind?
Last year, Mr.. Fletcher was making the
race for the position he now holds. Hon. n.
B. Broward, a peoples man, was one of the
candidates against him. Could Mr. Fletcher
have been elected, if he had declared during
his canvass that he intended to vote for Re
publican for President? Surely not. Could
he have won if he had told the people that he
meant to vote with the Republicans, against
the national Democratic platform? Never in
the world. t1aW
He did not vote for Mr. Taft, but he did
something infinitely worse. Had he cast
ballot for the Republican candidate for Pres
ident, his vote would not have hurt anyone, or
voted squarely in the teeth of the Democratic
helped anyone. But when he and Senator
Taliaferro went over to the Republicans, and
pledge for free lumber, he and his colleague
carried the whole State of Florida out of the
Democratic column and landed it on Repub
hcan ground
Did they do any damage by that? Their
votes gave victory to the gigantic lumber con
Germs, whose representatives were In Wash
ington lobbying to maintain the tariff the

by the Democratic platform.

Now, it is immaterial whether Rev. Paul
Wakefield first used the above words, or mere
ly had then called to his attention at Craw-
fordville. His general testimony tailed with
that Of Miss Clark and Mrs. Todd, and the
various clergymen already mentioned. The
horrible feature of Wakefeld's own statement
was that eve missionaries have known this
for long time, and were not surprised when
we heard of Miss Sigels tragic DEATH.
The conclusion we drew from all this was,
If the Chinese "comverts" are such hypo-
critics and criminals IN this country, hoao do
qOe kn0a0 that they are not hyp0crites and
criminals en- China?
It is vain to say that because such exalted
characters as DR.. Young J. Allen and Miss
Laura Haygood were missionaries to China,
that no abuses could exist in Chinese missions.
AS we'll might you say that because Bishop
Potter, DR.. Macarthur, DR.. Armitage and no.
BILE Father Ducey were engaged in religious
work in New York, there could be no evils in
the system there.
AS we'll might you say that because Gov
ernor Hughes of New York is an honest man,
there is no graft anywhere in his state. AS
we'll might you say that because Judge Law
son and DR.. Jones are good men, there can be
nothing wrong at the Georgia State SAM
tarium.
That kind of logic won't do, It is childish.
To offer the testimony of travellers, like
Bryan and Roosevelt, does not touch the case.
Bryan has been to New York hundred times,
yet he knew nothing of the conditions which
1--WE missionaries concealed"
How, then, could Bryan, or any other tray
eller, tell anything about conditions W1der
meath the surface in the East? These travel
lers stop but a short while at each place, and
see only what appears on the surface.

it will not remain vacant but a short

handicapped by the want of a depot.

HAVE STRENUOUS Time

The city council met in adjourned
meeting with five members present,
Councilman Boyes being absent. The
minutes Of previous meetings we're
read and approved. Then followed the
reports of tlb officers. The superin-
tendent of water works reported that
e. Il. Harthrong refused to comply
with the ordinance regulating the
placing of water meters. They in
structed the superintendent to enforce
the ordinance or shut the water off
from the property involved. The
county assessor reported cash paid in
during the month of January, $16,759-
80 This report provoked some dis
cussion. Councilman Simpson stated
that the American State Bank, which
is now the city depository, had not re-
ceived cent from the city treasurer,
and that the treasurer refuses to turn
the funds over to the depository. The
opinion of the city attorney was call
ed for. He stated that until the law
had been fully complied with, the
treasurer could not be compelled to
turn the funds into the depository,
Simpson stated that If an additional
bond was required the bank was ready
and willing to put up an additional
$4,000 bond. There is now bonds for
$4,000 in the hands Of the city clerk,

ma Sunday to arrest John McCor-
mack, one of the residents of Parma,
who has been foraging on some of the
farms in that vicinity. A warrant
having been sworn out by John Nell
son on the charge of stealing grain.
1t appears that Mccormack has not
been very particular about what he
stole, just so he could carry the arti-
Gle away. He, is accused of stealing
sheep, grain and grass seed. He is
about 80 years old and has a wife,
and four children. He had his hear
ing before Judge Bates, who bound
him over to the district court in the
sum of $500; not being able to fur
nish the necessary bonds, he is now
boarding with Sheriff Breshears.
Two More.
While attending the examination of
Mccormack, the sheriff had warrants
placed in his hands for the arrest of
Sutton Adkins and Adolph Fisher,
both boys about II. In the case of the
Fisher boy, there are some extenuat-
ing circumstances; he has been stay
ing at the Mccormack home and he
says that Mccormack made him go
with him on his numerous raids. 1t
is believed that the Adkins boy was
willing assistant. They are all in
Jail, pending bonds of $1,000 each.
