WHOM THE GODS WOULD DE-
STROY.''


Hon. Thos. E. Watson,
Dear Sir, and Brother:
AS [ see the parsons have fallen
afoul Of you at such a lively rate
since you took up the foreign mis-
sions, it must be because you struck
them in tender place that stirs their
animosity and causes them to jump
you.
Oh! how [ admire the Christian
composure that you show forth in
your replies to them. "Whom the
gods would destroy they first make
mad"
IF the exposure of their corrupt
methods makes them mad, it let's them
down very low in the scale of Chris
tianity, and also shows that you hit
them where the skin is very thin.
You are telling it just like I would,
if [ could write like you.
AS for Scoville, [ think he shold
apologize to you for what he has
charged you with since you have
proved your case, and his is found
wanting. He should set himself right
before his people.
AS we see truth subduing every
thing that is corrupt in politics, |
want to see it take it's place in the
Church Of Christ and I verify be-
heve the door is open as the parsons
have struck back at you and the
cause you defend so bravely.
Please find enclosed $500 for which
send me your monthly magazine and
the continuance of your weekly JEFF
fersonian.
Also the magazine to Jas. A. Hall,
Spread, GA.
Yours truly,
III. S. Hall.
P. S. Please start magazine with

LET TT BE A CONTINUAL WAR
AGAINST SPECIAL FAVORS.

East DesMoines, April Is, 1909
Mr.. Thos E. Watson,
Dear Sir: You will please find en-
closed P. 0. order for three dollars,
for which send the Jeffersonian maya
zine as directed below.
My purpose is to send you SIX
names iEe order to get the STORY OF
France which / have offered to lend
to those who subscribe as an induce
ment, and to get them acquainted
with your work.
You probably understand that Iowa
is having AN awful time opening its
eyes to the fact that Southern man
can be possessed Of any ability.
The inclination to work last fall
during the campaign was not at all
exhausting in this state, outside Of "a
few of us. | had started out solicit
ing names to our petition and was
getting about what was my portion,
when it suddenly dawned on me that
it would be necessary to gather a
good part of the harvest myself. So
| continued to work, night and day,
with the aid of VIM. Harvey, and sue
ceeded in getting two hundred and
forty-nine names at DesMoines. These
with the others were handed to the
Secretary Of State.
Hard work need not discourage
anybody, for no great end or good
can be effected without a struggle
We need not tear ourselves to pieces
at any time, but let it be continual
war against Special Favors.
[ am on the jury now and take
occasion to drop a shell among them
to jar the wheels loose in their upper
stories and set them going.
I often think that if one-half of
the money that is spent on the public
press to keep people thinking that
the political world is made of green
cheese, was spent to enlighten them,
the results would be astounding, pro-
vided however, that the privileged
enemies of our beloved land were COM
PEELED to keep their mouths shut while
the good work was being done.
Talk it as they may, the salvation
of this country depends on the educa-
tion of the common people so that
they may not gulp down all the rot
that is handed them by an assumed
superior class.
[ ann not yet ready to give up the
old pop scow, not because it is the
only one, but that it is the best one
so far as my judgment is able to dis
tinguish. / speak of principles, and

The news that the New York Giants
have cancelled their date WITH the
Hunters. the game was to have been
played here next Thursday evening.
will be a sore disappointment to the
fans who had worked themselves up
to a nigh pitch in hoping to see the
great Mathewson in action on the To-
cal diamond. The excuse given by the
manager of the Giants for not playing
the game scheduled here is that the
rainy weather has caused the post
ponement Of so many games that the
Giants are too far behind with their
regular games to play.
They will play Chicago next Thurs
day which originally was an open date
with them.
The game here next Thursday will
be with Clarksburg. The game will be
called at six o'clock after the oonclu.
sion of the races for that day.

Only -Four More Weeks of Contest.

To-day commences the fifth week
of The Herald's contest, half of the
time allotted for the securing of sub
scriptions having expired. The girls
are running along very close together
and the close of the race promises to
be both exciting and close.
It is from surface indications, any
body's race from now on and one or
two subscriptions may decide the
race in some girls favor. We want to
call the attention of the contestants
and their friends to the page ad In
this issue which gives any contest
ant the opportunity to secure extra
votes by having subscriptions sent in
by their friends together with their
name cut out of the paper.
We. wish to say to every young
lady in the race that after having
done so well from the beginning un-
til now it will be of great advantage
to make every day count something
from now on until the close.
Do not let day pass without &C
complishing something. The four
weeks that remain will roll around
mighty shortly and the prizes are
worth every bit of energy that is
spent in securing them.

Master Keeps Maids Kiss.

Apropos of Lord Northcote's name
being mentioned as probable sue
cessor to Earl Grey in Canada, his
lordship was once made curious use
of while governor general Of Au-
stralia, says The London Globe.
Strolling one night through an ave-
nue. of somber trees to friends
house to dinner, he was suddenly
pounced upon by maid servant,
who kissed him effusively and
pressed a little parcel into his hand.
"Here's a sausage for you. I can't
come out tonight, as master has
company" she whispered, and as
mysteriously disappeared.
When he got to the house he
found one of his servants lettering
by the gate. "What are you doing
there?" asked Lord Northcote.
I'm waiting for my sweetheart, "
the man stammered.
Where is she?'
''In service here"
"Ah, then, I am right. Here is a
sausage from your sweetheart, and
she wishes me to tell you that she
cannot come out tonight, as her
master has company" Seeing that
the man looked nervous, he added,
kindly: "She also gave me a kiss
for you; but perhaps you would
rather wait until you see her. Here
is five shillings instead"

cial from Big Stone Gap, Va, says:
Give deaths are reported and
damage to property estimated at up
ward of 100000 as the result OF
