decision of the Supreme Court; and when
the very nature of the case discloses the fact
that it was not possible for Mr.. Watson to
have been in possession Of any paper, or copy,
that would have done "the heirs the least
good.
This plain, simple setting forth of the facts,
as they appear of record, are enough to cover
the Rev. c. A. Norton with confusion and
shame
There is just one way in which he can
escape the disgrace that should visit the SLAM
derer he should frankly and publicly con-
fess his mistake and express his regret.
Will he be man enough to do it?
p Son my way to Atlanta today (April
9TH, fell in with my old friend, Judge CO.
lumbus Heard, lifelong citizen OF Greene
County, who is perhaps as familiar with the
local history of that county as any man living.
Referring to the Allison estate, he told me that
Gwyn Allison was an old bachelor, and that
the legatees who brought the suit to break the
will and to defeat the bequest to the poor
children Of Greene County, must have been
nephews or cousins of the testator. Judge
Heard furthermore stated that Gwyn Allisons
estate owned very little land. III don't be-
lieve, said he, that the land brought as much
as $1,000" The judge went on to explain
that Gwyn Allison owned negroes, who were
freed, and that he had loaned out a consider
able amount of money on notes which could
not be collected This was no doubt on &C
count of the general smash of individuals and
estates consequent upon the Civil war and the
SOuths defeat therein.
| asked Judge Heard when it was that the
Courthouse of Greene County was burned. and
the records destroyed. In a tone of surprise.
he responded 1T never has happened. Our
Courthouse has never been burned, nor our
records destroyed. They are all there now in
safety vault" Therefore, inasmuch as Gwyn
Allisons estate was Greene County estate.
there never time when the Rev c. A.
Norton, and all others, could not have learned
the real facts in the case if they had simply
exercised the ordinary diligence of going to
the Courthouse, or writing to the Ordinary of
the county. 1t is equally apparent that any
paper connected with that estate lost by Mr..
Watson, or any one else, could have been inn
mediately reestablshed without the slightest
difficulty and at trivial expense.
Therefore, Mr.. Nortons story of lost deed.
burnt Courthouse, and big estate gobbled by
Mcdaniel and Watson must be dismissed as
one of the widest notions that ever entered
anybody head.

Two Federal District Court Judges have
been allowed to stop the enforcement Of State
laws duly enacted by the Legislatures of those
States, and without giving the State courts
any say as to whether not the law was con-
stltut1onal or confscatOry.
To make it plain the Governors of several
States have let the corporations completely
bluff them out because they hadn't the grit
to stand up for the rights of their States.
Here is fair example of the big Trusts
business methods when dealing with the Gov
eminent
In recent against the American Sugar
Refining Company it was found that sys-
tematic swindle had been carried on for several
years by means of scales equipped with con-
cealed springs.
By this fraudulent system OF weighing the
Sugar Trust swindled the Government out of
nearly two million dollars in duties from 1901
to 1907 and the same system of weighing was
practiced by the Trust prior to 1901.
The Payne tariff bill has passed the House
OF Representatives, and the next thing in order
is for the>Senate to shoot few holes through
AS petroleum has been put on the free list
by the House, it is safe to predict that the bill
will not pass the Senate as it now stands.
Standard Oil is too we'll represented in the
Senate for that body to let the tariff on petro-
leum be taken off.
Free petroleum would mean cheaper OIL and
cheaper oil would mean smaller dividends to
Standard Oil magnates.
While the demand of the people was SO
strong that the House dared not put the pro-
posed tax on tea coffee and petroleum. the
Senate will not be influenced bv the peoples
wishes as the House was.
The members of the House are elected by
direct vote of the people every two years, but
Senators are not.
The House vote on the tariff bill affords
very interesting study.
1t is about as thorough mix-up of Repub-
leans and Democrats as you could make by
dumping both into a pot and stirring we'll to-
gether.
On one question enough Democratic mem
bers vote with the Republican machine for the
machine to win
On the next question enough Republican
votes 60 with the Democrats to defeat the
Republican machine
But one thing was clearly demonstrated,
and that is that the Democratic party stands
OH the tariff question as it does on most all
important questions,-badly divided.
Even the Democratic members from the
same State could not agree,
New Jersey seems to have grown very tired
of being controlled by the trusts, and the
legislature is keeping apace with the courts
in giving them hard jolts.

REV. C. A. NORTONS CHARGES.
Continued from Page Nine)
Apparently Roberts attached as little impor-
lance to it as Watson did What we said in
the former editorial is strictly true. No valu-
able papers, causing the loss of estate, were
ever lost by Mr.. Watson, and no such claim
was ever made With papers which were OBJ
V1ously of no Importance, it may have been
different.
No one will question this statement If
anybody was hurt by the alleged loss of this
very indefinite paper copy" referred to by
Norton, THE CHARGES CONCERNING 1T
WOULD NOT HAVE SLUMBERED UN-
TIL MR. WATSON ASSAILED THE
PRESENT METHODS OF FOREIGN
MISSIONARIES.
Rev. {. A. Nortons attitude in the matter
is plain enough. Angry because of Mr. Wat
sons stand in favor of the poor and illiterate
children of our own land, he said enough about
this Allison case to make the impression on
Mr.. Pitcher and perhaps others that Watson
and Mcdaniel had conspired to rob the heirs
of an estate, had willfully lost valuable papers
which were necessary to prove title in these
heirs, and HAD BUILT FINE HOUSES
WITH THE STOLEN MONEY!
DlodNOWIS q portion OF the language
quoted by Mr.. Pitcher, the Rev. Norton yet
says that the last account they had of the
estate it was in the hands of Watson and Nc
Daniel.
Think Of a minister of the gospel circu-
latng an infamous SANDER like that!
Did he ever make intelligent effort to
trace the assets of the Allison estate? Did he
read the decision of the Supreme Court? Did
he search the records of the Court of Ordi-
nary of Greene County? Did he ever 60 like
a man, to Gov. Mcdaniel, at Monroe, Ga,
and request full statement? Did he ever go
to the administrator, James L. Brown?
IF NOT, WHY NOT?
What excuse can he give to his conscience
or to his nelghbors, for saying the last that
was heard of that estate it was in part, in the
hands Of Mr.. Watson?
This is one of those cases where man of
malicious and suspicious temper jumps at
wrong conclusion, and recklessly makes the
most damaging charges against prominent
men, never suspecting that he may be
called to account, exposed and punished. A
preacher OF the Gospel, man called Of the
Lord to lead us upward to a better life, going
around among the people to whom he is
spiritual guide, and seeking to blast the repu-
tation OF two fellow Christians by making
foundation than his own mean and malicious
fancy
(D He puts himself on record as saying
that Henry d. Mcdaniel was Executor of the
Estate when the indisputable fact is that
