far-famed Park of Palermo. From both
of these the Botanical garden is dis
tinct in spirit and style. II is the EN-
todiment of refined and artistic
taste. really marvellous blend
ing of the beautiful and the
useful.
In 1892 this land was granted
TO the director general of the
public parks, NJ Thays. for the
establishment of the Botanical
garden and the garden was
opened to the public in Sep
tember. 1898. One must know
something of the soil and the
seasons here to understand how,
even with mastery hand at
the helm, such marvels have
been accomplished in so short a
time.
Certain students of medicine and
pharmacy from the National college.
and other schools of the city, frequent
the garden and spend hours In inter.
esting study. Indeed, they have a
rich field from which to CLEAN, as
there are, in what is called the School
of Botany, over 5000 species. all per-
fectly classified according to the sys-
TEN of De Candolle.
The garden contains about 20 acres
of ground. half of which is level. the
other half very uneven and ending on
the northern side in steep banks
that overlook the street, Las Heras.

THE JOURNAL SIGHTS HIM
NOW.

Editor JefersOnian: AS [ read
your article in this weeks Jefferson
ian on the strike of the firemen on
the Georgia Railroad my breast
swelled, for I feel just as you feel
about the situation, and tried to ex-
press myself few days ago in the
Atlanta Journal and could not do so.
l guess | spoke too plain. Hit too
hard, and consequently my article
found itself in the famous Journal
waste basket.
When stood with them in their last
political cruise, my voice could be
heard any time. l actually had an
article to once get set up in editorial
style on the famous ''left hand edi-
tOrial page" and in equally as impos-
ing space was commented on as one
of FOUR men whose views stood for
something, but when these white
faced firemen needed a gong sounded
in their behalf, and while I was try
ing to be heard through the paper
which of ALL PAPERS should have
given to me, and to them space, they
were watching with eager editorial
eye the movements of a SCOUT CAR.
| thought I was we'll enough known
in Georgia to be responsible to the
paper and the public for signed ar
ticle in the columns of my old friend

turned down, but never had anybody
pay me their respects enough to write

THE RELIGIOUS TRUST WORSE
THAN STANDARD OIL.

Dear Toni am becoming more
and more enthused every day by your
writings. l believe you are right on
every line Of thought. But your
Foreign Mission views caps the eli
max to it all. l have been a mission
airy Baptist minister for 81 years.
and have seen the necessity of home
work among our own people, not only
OF the Gospel of Gods grace, but of
the necessaries of life and of educa-
ton. Some of the leaders of nv
own denomination have stamped the
heel of contempt upon me for advo-
eating the views that you advocate
today, and of all the damnable
Trusts that ever have existed, the re-
ligious Trust of the various denomi-
nations is causing more suffering to-
day than the Oil Trust, Sugar Trust
or Lumber Trust, as the poor chill
dren can live in spite of those Trusts.

ENJOYING THE SCOVILLE CON-
TROVERSY.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-I have just fin
ished reading your editorial on For
eign Missions and am we'll pleased
with it. / have been reading after
you and Bro. Scovill and it is anus
ing to see how people will still have
such simple ideas about things after
reading facts that you have given.
1t reminds me of a man trying to
shoot % caliber cartridge in a "A
caliber. The great majority of peo-
pie think just because they belong to
thing and their bosses say it is
right, it is right, and they don't try
to see it any other way. There are
not half of the Methodists who can
explain how the missionary funds are
spent, it is also the same with us
Baptists. | have never given a red
cent for foreign missions in my life,
and don't regret it. If our people at
home were all educated and all had
plenty to eat and wear, 1 would think
somewhat different.
am always glad when you pick
up the little kids like Scoville and
shake them. | heard a Methodist
preacher say yesterday, it was the lit
tie weak preachers that were strik-
ing at you; that the big preachers
who knew that you had explained the
thing exactly right were sitting still
and saying nothing. 1 will not worry
you any longer.

CONTRIBUTES AND SAYS MOTH
INC
ING.

| am interested in your controver-
sy with the missionary system.
You are telling something that
ought to be known. The extrava-
CANT expenditures hinder the getting
on with the gospel. And so much
secular admixture leads to provoca-
ton in times of uprising.
1t is true we have many children
in our own land whose parents are
not able to afford Sunday School
clothes for them. Sometimes they
do not care to.
One thing, our people dress too
gaily for the poor to feel comfortable
among us.

HOW SHALL WE MEET THIS
CRISIS?

My Dear Sir:-Words cannot ex-
press the emotions of my humble and
sincere heart as | attempt to pen you
these lines. By faith I accept the
great truth that an allwise God rules
and directs the destiny of nations
in church and state. In the history
of our own beloved America there
have been three distinct crises:
1st-When He put it into the
hearts Of our forefathers of the col
onfes to sever their allegiance to the
British government and found re-
public (the greatest the world has
ever known, this God raised up the
men to meet the emergency.
2nd-Was the great contest and
struggle for the perpetuation of the
doctrine of Estates Rights" which
ended in a bloody contest, that ar
rayed brother against brother Now,
l concede that conscientious motives
prompted all true Americans who
aligned themselves on either side
This crisis demanded leadership
on both sides which was ably met

LIKES JEFFERSONIANS AND POST
CARD PREMIUM.

Dear Sir:-Will you allow space
in your valuable paper for young
West Virginian to express his most
hearty approval of the principle on
which the Weekly Jeffersonian is
founded?
Also to extend to you my sincerest
thanks for the twenty lovely post
cards which | received with the pa
per, and I assure you they are highly
appreciated, and can't be duplicated
here at anyways near the price asked
for them by yourself.
I also wish to thank the old gen
tleman in Tennessee for his kindness
in giving me the trial subscription
to the Jeffersonian, and hope some
time to be able to pay him for his
generosity.
Thanking you again for the free
vent you give to your expressions
and for your most valuable paper, [

A GENEROUS OFFER.

Many persons wish to see "a Little
Land and a Living" which is really
a more advanced book than "Three
Acres and Liberty" who do not wish
to invest in it.
You see, not then being known as
an accurate observer nor as prac-
teal agriculturist, when the Macmil-
lans offered to publish the first book,
l did not venture to state the whole
truth about the profitable possible
productivity of land 1T would have
been scoffed at.
For instance, the average crop of
strawberries in New Jersey (Which
with North Carolina is now the great
strawberry State) is about three
thousand quarts per acre. When /
said that eight thousand quarts
might easily be raised, people opened
their eyes as far as was polite, be-
cause they knew that many growers
have made money and think they
have done we'll with five hundred
quarts.
In "a Little Land" however,
felt safe in citing a verified instance
of over tWenty-four thousand quarts
per acre produced commercially on
Long Island. The grower claims that
he has raised forty-tWo thousand
quarts per acre and that it paid bet
ter than the smaller yield
Now l want people to read that
book; so if anyone will inquire for it
at all the public libraries within his
reach, if there are any, does not find
it, and will send me the names of the
libraries that have not got it, l will
lend him Cor herr the book, sending
it by mail and trust to his Cor herr
native honesty and to his Cor herr
interest in others reading it, to re-
turn it to me by mail when he Cor

two months. BOLTON HALL.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

me and tell me why the fate of my
article in behalf of these Caucasian
fellows was sentence to the waste
basket.
| appealed in that feeble article
for the support of the firemen's
cause by the shippers of Georgia. /
begged them to route their goods over
other lines where they competed with
the Georgia road. | urged those who
had tickets to buy, to buy them over
other lines when possible. | asked
the shippers Of goods to remember
this Georgia Railroad who were CIV
ing to the Ethiopian preference over
their fellow white men. | urged that
it would never do for SCOTT and the
road to win their fight, for if they
won fireman fight the time would
not be long before we would possibly
have an engineer fight. I told them
and the people, that with this victory
won that the time might be soon
when our wives and daughters might
be forced to hand their tickets in to
a NEGRO CONDUCTOR who would
take great pleasure in taking them
by the arm at their journeys end
and assisting them from the trains of
Georgia.
While this was charging the pic
lure some, knew full we'll that it
was not only possible, but feared the
probability of it, for if we suffer
SCOTT and his crowd to get hold of
our people and their rights, we need
not expect anything only rough han
ding.
l want to thank you, Mr.. Watson.
Tor your contribution in behalf of
these men, for word spoken by g.
brave and fearless man, in behalf of
his people at a crucial moment. is
worth more than the soldering over
them for years to dodge the issue,
and fail to speak when something
needs be said.

do it again should conscience bid me

II is only women with an abundance OF
time or money who can indulge In much
hand embroidery on children's frocks.
Every mother. however, wishes her
child TO be as daintily and attractfvely
clad as her means will allow
For adorning the little frocks .here are
always tiny tucks and inset lace. and
fancy stitching.
Besides these. excellent results are often
achieved by working in little motifs OF
embroidery and the like bought sep

The corners Of a delicately embroidered
handkerchief can be utilized for this pur-
pose.
One mother uses in her daughters
wardrobe bits OF hand embroidery taken
from the remains OF her old lingerie

OF course. It does not pay to put old
embroidery on a perfectly new frock. but
there are often parts, where there has
been no strain, that are little worn, and
almost as good as new.

IN WARM WEATHER

From the Chicago Record-Herald
The business woman must take extraor-
dinary care Of her health, or the long
summer OF work VIII tell on her.
The one form Of precautiOn that pays
better perhaps than any other Is TO take
plenty OF sleep
The time TO take a good part OF it IS
before midnight. Two hours before mid
night. they say. are worth double the
time after
So take your recreation in the evening,
If you must. but take it early.
II is just as easy to start out on a
trolley ride or a trip to the park a little
earlier. coming home earlier and vastly
better, where such trips are frequent, for
ones health and ones looks.
II every business woman could have an
average Of nine hours sleep for the next
two months. there would be fewer break
downs at the end Of the summer than
ever before.
Nine hours seems Ike a good deal per-
haps. but it IS merely going to bed at
10. or rather being in bed by 10. and get
ting up NJ Z
Even the eight-hour regime, rigidly ad-
hered TO- will do wonders in keeping one
in good health.
II il is the habit OF your family 20 go
20 bed late, make an effort to break
through the habit for one summer. It
will more than repay you.
