Jef4ers0mi0m Clubs

The readers of the Jeffersonian
are great body of reformers, filled
with potential energy, but incapable
of performance, because morgan
lied.
To call a national convention,
choose a national committee, and
start the work from a national CEN
ter, is to begin at the top to rear the
pinnacle before the foundation.
Nature always begins at the bot
tom. Infnitesimal atom by atom,
microscopic cell by cell, she builds,
without haste and without rest. We
must do the same.
We will begin at Thomson Ca, be-
cause that is nearest to our hands.
AS soon as possible we will organize
here Jeffersonian Club, which shall
be known as Club Number One. It
Will have the usual officers and as
many members as will pay a dollar a
year and pledge themselves to take
up and carry on the active work of
Reform.
Wherever possible, get a local
newspaper interested in the work.
If the local papers refuse to aid the
reformers, start reform paper of
your own, and let it stand for what
ever is just and true, without refer
ence to party, creed Or caste.
Each member will be entitled to
years subscription to the Jefferso-
MAN, which will publish the news
and work of the clubs, and will be
their official organ.
AS soon as there are as many as
twenty-five clubs in any State, the
members shall choose two of their
number in each club to form a State
Committee, who shall frame a plat
form of State issues, to be voted up
on, before adoption, by all the clubs
of the State.
Whenever State Committees have
been formed in as many as ten States,
they shall choose five of their number
from each State to form a National
Committee, who shall frame a plat
form of National issues, to be voted

stTHE PLEA OF THE CHILD

Under this heading there appears
an article in the North American Re-
view for June, written by Mr.. A. III.
Ulm, which is of the greatest inter
est to students of sociology and es-
pecially to those who are combating
the evil of child labor, and which is
Of particular interest to the people
of Augusta because the writer is an
Augusta man, and his experience
with the subject he treats and the
conditions he describes are largely
drawn from Augusta. Mr.. Ulm is
now the secretary-elect of Governor
elect Brown. In introducing his sub
ject he states that 'In my fourteenth
year circumstances placed me in a
cotton mill Gin Augusta). During
the greater part of three years I was
a regular operative working in the
different departments, and mostly
where children are mainly employ
ed. Then, after serving one term
of enlistment in the army, in active
duty in the Philippines, he returned
to Augusta, where he engaged in
newspaper work, and in his reporto-
rial duty had occasion to become &C

the subject he undertakes to handle.
Different from all others who have
publicly discussed the question Of
child labor in the cotton mills, who
are all professional Investigators or
agitators and without practical ex-
perience to guide them, the views
presented by Mr.. Ulm are for that
reason of greater value.
He enters the discussion with the
unequivocal assertion that cit would
have been better if the South had
never come into possession of sin

is that the supply of children is less

In a mastery manner Mr.. Ulm
portrays these little workers, who in

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
II any Of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. Dr.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.

it if you take DIR. Miles Nervine

your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it

County Officials, as Result of
Investigation, Believe the
Man Committed Double
Murder on Saturday.
ACCUSED MAN is NOW
INDICATED FUGITIVE
Joseph DuIic, the Boarding
House Proprietor, Has Been
Released From Jail on a
$500 Recognizance Bond.

After taking the testimony of about
half a dozen witnesses, Coroner
Bramkamp, Prosecuting Attorney
Ladd and Sheriff Meredith have
reached the conclusion that Joseph
Chupuvic is guilty of the double MUIR
der at the Austrian camp. west of
Centerville, early Saturday morning.
In some manner Chupuvic learned
that he was to be charged with the
crime and made his escape before the
officers had time to arrest him. His
whereabouts are now unknown. A
diligent search is being instituted fol
the man but thus far he has not been
located. However the police are Of
the opinion that he is in hiding in

DuIic is Released.
Joseph Dulic, proprietor of. the
boarding house in which the double
crime was committed and who was ar
rested for the murder, has been re
leased on 5000 recognizance bond
furnished by Louis Wrede, the saloor
keeper on South Sixth street. The
authorities are all OF the opinion nov
that Dulic had nothing whatever t.
do with the murder and took no par
in the fight. While they believe tina
Rodi Redic was indirectly connected
with the crime and engaged in thu
