Macon, Gait was less than two
months ago that the okra plant was
found to be valuable in the manufac-

extensive experiments have been made
vath other plants of a kindred ma

satisfactory from this standpoint, and
1t is now beliesed that the grass

ONLY MONEY DEEP.
Boston, Ga.

Dear Sir:-Please find herewith
ten cents. Send me September num-
Der Jeffersonian Magazine.
l greatly admire the patriotic
views you have taken concerning
Foreign Missions and trust you will
ne'er desist until our entire domain
is enlightened as to the evils the
present system of Foreign Missions
are cultivating among our people.
From my earliest youth, my sem
timents upon this question have been
in accord with yours. | never have
and never will give cent for this
much exaggerated cause, and frank
ly say those who do, do it either
through ignorance or for self-gain,
and are only buying fuel for bonfires
in their own homes.
1t is clearly shown by undisputa-
BILE authority that Foreign Mission
influences are only money deep, and
the height of the subjects ambitions
is to appear like as we are, and
to eventually usurp our position in
the world "the cream of Gods crea-
tion."
They are ever striving for supre-
macy and are now demanding equal
rights in white schools and the priv
ilege of marrying white girls. What
a pity the millions of dollars that
have been enormously spent upon
them was not spent in excluding
them from our once more peaceful
shores.
At the present progress they are
making, we could look down, If pos
sible, in a hundred years from now
and behold our descendants with
trailing ques caressing a pipe of
opium, Or partaking of rats on the
half shell.
Hoping your efforts will be crown
ed with golden success, / am
Very sincerely,
e. L. MCKEE.

NEED A NEW PARTY.

Dear Sir:-I mail you copy of
the Citizen, our labor paper here, in
which you will find a good speech on
the Jap question in California.
A friend of mine, Mr.. Chas. F. Ba-
ker of Pasadena, who has written
book on finance, Law or Metal"
informed me he sent you copy. I
hope you received it, and will have
time to read and give your opinion of
it.
| see you are starting Jefferson
ian club in Thomson; that may be a
good thing for Georgia and the
South I read various opinions and
ideas on new party, conference,
etc. What we want and need is
new party under new name, entire
ly free from all existing parties. To
be called an Independent Party. II
there could be enough of the leading
reformers cotton together who would
agree to work together according
to the will of the majority for just
what the majority wanted, to discuss
any and all questions on labor, eco
Monies and political issues, and when
there shall be enough Independent
clubs in good working order, then
call a convention from all the states,
organize a new Independent party
for 1912, would be the thing to do.
| don't believe we can get the people
together under any old name. 1t will
have to be under new name and
few we'll defined principles upon
which all can agree; be short and
plain so everybody can understand.
We can't win unless we can draw
liberal-minded men from the old par
ties, men who think for themselves,
men who are willing to come with us.
I think the words Independent Party,
would be the best inducement to
them to join a new movement. But
it matters not so much about the
name as it does the principles and
unity of action. However, I do not
see any hope for the future. Monop-
opoly is now in the saddle, the big
gest and strongest the world has ever
known. AS l see it, this republic is
doomed unless majority of the COM
mon people, the producers of this
land, can be united for independ
ent and political action in 1912.

BUT, FRIEND LEE, THERE ARE so
FEW THAT READ.

Editor Jeffersonian:-We have
said, and we believe it, that one may
take the Weekly Jeffersonian and any
three daily papers he may elect, and
if he reads the four papers atten-
lively for year he will have gath
cred more facts and information
from the Jeffersonian than from the
other three combined. We mean the
and that of the nation. Would that
the two Jeffs were in every house
hold in America
We wrote Mr.. J. L. Lee, president
of the Georgia State Farmers Union,
at it's last session in Macon, to try
and get the body to pass resolution
unanimously requesting the Georgia
Legislature, then in session, to make
the sale of any farm product before
it is matured and ready for market
a penal offense, but we have not
heard anything in reference to the
matter. We do not believe that Wall
Street methods can be practiced by
the farmers themselves without in
jury to their highest and best inter
ests-"TwO wrongs never make one
right" We are a member of the
Farmers Union, was a Granger and
Allianceman, and with such a school
ing you may know that we have
learned that our progress and growth
our success-depends after all
upon our faith and practice in the
Ocala demands, lest while we save
at the spigot we may loose at the
bung. We are a great believer in
the Farmers Union, in it's officials,
state and national, and we know they
will have the full sympathy of the
editor of the two Jeffs, as they shall
strive to achieve success in the face
of such prejudices and dense igno-
rance as prevail among the masses.
Upon these two characteristics the
willy politician and money sharpers
play continually. We often wonder
how the Jeffersonians' editor can
keep up such a magnificent fight
against such foes and maintain cour-
age and equilibrium such as tho
world rarely sees.
Yours truly, B. F. LEE.
