men assist the negro to rape State court;
'heavily armed" white men are ready to
board the next train to fight white men to

warding with quick promotion the white man
who had served him so we'll.
For one, I'm awfully sorry Judge Fite did
not stand his ground. Dade county, and the
whole State, is full of white men who are not

Hush Your Fuss

That ear-splitting, nerve-racking hula
balloo that you hear, day and night, week
after week, is pardonable. The Democratic
leaders and daily papers have got to rouse
Public Opinion in favor of the Income Tax,
you know, and they can't wake Public Opin-
ion into real activity without making fuss.
That accounts for the noise. But it is aw-
fully uproarious, rip-snortious, and hell
bentuous,-isn it?

Mr.. Taf,s Gmshy-Gmsh

Eulogizing the malodorous Ballinger, Pres
ident Taft said, at Spokane, that Ballinger
was fine specimen of the success of 'the
transplanted man.. Talking to an immense
audience, the President declared
people who remain where they born turn out
lunkheads. The gentleman who at early age pulls
himself together, and gets into region, cometh
to ripe destiny"
By that token, Ballinger is great and
Roosevelt "a lunkhead". According to that
reasoning, John Adams, Sam Adams, James
Otis, Patrick Henry Thomas Jefferson, John
@. Calhoun, Abraham Lincoln, George Wash
ington, James Monroe, Stonewall Jackson,
and Robert 3. Lee were lunkheads. So were
Gladstone, Disreli, Cromwell, and Sir Will
liam Wallace. So were Robert Toombs, Alex.
H. Stephens, Ben Hill and Bishop Pierce So
were Caesar, Hannibal and Alexander the
Skobeleff So were Adam Smith, Tolstoi,
Danton, Walter Scott, Dickens, Milton and
Herbert Spencer.
"Lunkheads!" Those who love the old
home, and the home-f folks too dearly to mi
CRATE, are doomed to be lunkheads, are thew?
How does transplanting improve anybody's
head! 1t may improve his opportunities, but
not his mind. To generalze in that absurd
manner, and tell young men and women that
they condemn themselves to imbecility by set
Ting for life at the old home place. is to de-
part widely and perniciously from the truth.
A large percentage of boys and girls do bet
ter by going to some other region than they
would have done at home. But everybody
cannot move away. Everybody can't get into
new regions.
Any such generalization awards greatness
to the organs and Baileys and Ballingers
but ignores Chief-Justice Marshall Daniel
OConnell, Charles Fox, the two Pitts,
Goethe, and Bismarck-and numberless 9TH
ers.

of the superior courts of our old common

Administering justice, in Dade county,
Judge Fite placed revenue officer in jail for
the testimony sought of him was not of a
privileged character. He had no more right
to defy the Judge, refusing to answer fair
question, than you or [ have.
But the insolent negro, Rucker, applied to
the Federal court and the prisoner of the
State court was taken from Dade county to
Atlanta, where the insolent niger, gloating
over Judge Fite, gaze the revenue officer "a

If State court can be robbed of one pris-
Oner who is lawfully in jail, it can be robbed
of any and all. If it can be forced to give up
one Federal lawbreaker, it can be made to
give up any and all.
The Federal courts have no jurisdiction to
issue Writs of habe0s corpus against state
Judges and sheritfs ordering them to produce

denial of constitutional rights is alleged.
Yet Rucker and Newman and Tate had

Those Summer and Wimtey Homes
of Foreign Missionaries

In one of the first of the articles on Foreign
Missions, [ told you that you need not worry
over the hardships endured by the mission
ary,-that the missionary was we'll paid, en-
joyed all the comforts and luxuries of life,
and was having a corl1ing time of it, out there
in China.
You remember how they hoped on me
about it? They denied with especial vigor
and temper my statement that some of the
missionaries had two homes for winter,
and one for summer,-and that the annual
vacation was the established rule.
But the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle of Sep
TENDER 20, 1909, prints letter, direct from
that dear, darling old China, which gives I'M
Improbable evidence of the truth of my
statements.
It is from Miss Elizabeth Fleming, sister
of the Hon. W. III. Fleming, as I infer from
two words in her letter.
She is missionary and she wrote from
China, giving Miss Ellen Hickman descrip-
ton of missionary work and life in precious,
fascinating, charming China. One of her
first lines reads this way, II am here in my
summer home", not so very far from delicious
Soochow.
How now, Parsons, one and all? You
won't dispute the words of this lady, will
you?
Miss Fleming refers to the locations of the
summer homes of various other missionaries,
naming them, and she says, ''those of us who
have our bungalows" (summer houses of ORR
entail style) "on Mohkan San" (mountain)
''are quite satisfied"
Now, Beloved, what do you say to this?
You denied, it, hotly and positively, when [
said just what Miss Fleming has written to
Miss Hickman What about it, Bros. SEQ
vile, Archibald, Lovett, Corey, Mclean,
Towson, Harris, ct al?
Miss Fleming writes of the delightful Greg
ular Sunday school picnic" and informs Miss
Hickman that 1--WE are strictly union-Meth-
odists, Baptists, Episcopalians and Presby-
terians all join in and have a merry time;
games, jumping, vaulting, and then a feast
of good things"
Now peruse the following passage from
Miss Fleming's letter, and judge for yourself
whether the foreign missionaries, in that be-
witching old China, are not having about as
good time as ever you had:
