DOCTOR OPPOSED TO COMPUL-
sorry VACCINATION.

Dear Sir:-Being on a visit to my
old friend, DR.. H. Hitchman, he
showed me your issues of April 7th
and April 14th. I desire to add my
approval to everything stated by DR..
Hitchcock in those letters; but I
wish to ''see DR.. Hitchcocks hand,
and go ten better"
DR.. Hitchcock states in the letter
Of the issue of April 14th, page 10,
S. C: "Once let the compulsory laws
be abrogated-and vaccination will
fall into desuitude-in ten years
there will be no vaccination and no
smallpox"
Let the people pass a law making
every person who shall perform the
operation of vaccination personally
ansWerable to the patient, and his
heirs, for all damages which may re-
suit therefrom in the future, and
within THIRTY DAYS THEREOF
there will not be a single person
who will perform the operation in
the State whose people shall have
had the wisdom to pass such a law.

WHY DIDN'T ROCKEFELLER PAY
THAT FINE?

Dear Sir:-I am handing you five
red stamps, the advertised price of
"A Chapter on Socialism, that you
will kindly mail to the undersigned
and oblige.
Also, will you kindly answer the
following question in The jeff as
soon as you find space:
Why did Jno. D. Rockefeller never
pay the twenty-nine million-dollar
fine imposed by the courts?
Thanking you in advance for this
information, and bidding you God
speed with the ''Jeffs,"
| am yours very truly,
Atlanta, Ga. T. E. POTHILL.
Answer.
Mr. John D. Rockefeller did not
pay the 29,000,000 fine, for the sim
pie reason that he had the utmost
confidence in the Federal Courts. He
was certain that Judge Peter Gros-
cup, to whom the case was appealed,
would do what the corporations Sc
lected him to do.
A more Infamous scoundrel does
not breathe than Peter S. Groscup,
and he promptly mutilated the rec
ords, falsifed the facts of the case,
and set aside the fine which Rookie
teller, naturally, felt disinclined to
pay. T. E. w.

HOW THE ROOSEVELT-POPE AT
FAIR APPEARS TO THIS
GEORGIAN.

Mr.. Editor:-We see that all Chris
tendon has lately had sympathetic
commissions because the Pope of all
the dagoes and Spaniards on the
earth snubbed Col. Roosevelt. The
Pope did nothing more than he
should have. To one who stops to
read between the lines, the sicken-
ing episode is quite nauseating. 1t
is to be hoped that the Protestant
world, including President Taft, ex-
Vice-President Fairbanks, the Col
Onel, and all American citizens, at
home and abroad, may learn again
the lesson that seems to have been
forgotten, viz: that the Pope of
Rome poses as the living representa-
tive of Jesus Christ on earth, and
head OF the only authorized church,
and all others are heretics, sealed,
damned and delivered, and that he
and the priest only can give absolu-
ton from sin, that no man, be he
king or slave, President or ex-Presi-
dent, shall offer worship or honors
to this holy father" by halves. Ro-
manism does not allow her dupes.
whether in Rome or abroad, to &C.
knowledge or be identified with any
religion save her own. Romanism
would teach all America, through
such men as Col. Roosevelt, that she
must and will have, sooner or later,
our undivided loyalty and federation.
Who is so consumately blind to the
situation that he cannot see the drift
OF this great machine called Catholi-
cism? What means the banqueting
of our President and high officers Of
State with cardinal and bishops. the
Popes representatives in America?
What did eX-President Roosevelt
mean by cabling Pope Plus asking
permission Of an audience with his
holiness on arrival at Rome? And
why did ex-Vice-President Fairbanks
have such laundering to receive his
blessings and kiss the ground on
which he walked? But he, too, got
cold mustard" and good for them
both. Should not the Protestant
world have a vomiting spell and dis
gorge all men who would sell them
selves and their unborn children into
the hands of the Harlot Mother who
has shed rivers of Protestant blood
and burned more Christian men and
women than all the pagans and can't
balls ever did since the dawn of crea-
ton? If no Almighty hand stays
this onslaught of Romanism in
America, the very scenes enacted
during the European Inquisition will
be repeated in our fair Land of the
Free III. S.

the craft looked more like a Yankee
than he did an Englishman. The steer
ing wheel was situated about in the
centre of the boat, and the captain had
to look over the heads of the passen-
gers in order to see where he was
going. The English people certainly
make good use of their narrow river
The river was alive with row-boats and
every one was brewing that national
drink. Those who did not have spirit
stoves on their boats would row up to
the shore and get hot water for their
tea from one of the numerous houses
that advertised this article. All along
the river We saw these signs, Hot
commodated.' In passing down the
river, we had to go through two locks,
the operation of which was very in
teresting. In fact, we were so inter-
ested that we stood on our seats to
get better view. but quickly got down
again when we heard the captain yell.
Here, you two. get down off those
seats! How do you think l can see?"

age over was pretty rough, but we
were able to do full justice to our

SEX, AND LENGTH OF LIFE

As is well known, the term of life OF
women is slightly longer than that of
men. The difference of the mortality
rates during the first few years of life,
however, is striking. During the first
year the mortality among males is de-
cidedly greater than among females.
Although more boys are born than girls,
the proportions are reduced to almost
even terms at the end of the first year
by the excessive male mortality. Even
during the first four years the mortal
ity among males exceeds that among
females, Notwithstanding the fact that
there are practically no distinctions
made in the management of the two
sexes. Both are subject to the same
conditions. are dressed virtually the
same, and receive the same food. At
the age of about 5 years the compara-
tive death rate among girls begins to
increase. This has been attributed to
the fact that boys of this age are more
in the open air. The mortality in both
sexes diminishes from this time until
the twelfth year, when 1t attains It's
lowest point 1t then steadily rises,
being larger in each successive year.
Between the twelfth and sixteenth
wears the death rate among girls In
creases more rapidly than among boys,
but after the sixteenth year. for several
wears the rate of increase Is more rap
id on the male side The explanations
that have been offered for these pecu-
liarities are not wholly satisfactory,
but one fact is clear-that during early
years females possess a greater tenacity
of life than do males.

ACCIDENTS WITH FLASH POWDER

Every winter a certain number of
accidents occur with flash powder,
nearly all of which are due to care
lessness of the operator 1t should
never be forgotten that flash powder
is an explosive substance like gun
powder, and, while it will burn as
innocently if small quantity is sim
ply lighted in the open, 1t Will explode
lust as violently if lighted in great
mass or in confined space. A re-
cent accident was due to using flash
powder in a lamp designed for use
with magnesium powder only. Such
a proceeding is equivalent to firing
heavy charge of gunpowder in tin
gun, and the results are equally dis
astrous. The flash mixture must
never on any account be used in
lamp, and when a lot of it has to be
fired to get sufficient light 1t should
be spread out as carefully as one would
lay a train of gunpowder, and in much
the same manner. If handled with the
same care as gunpowder would De,
there is little or no danger attaching
to the use of flash powder, especially
if the ready mixed varieties are pur-
chased. Some of the recipes published
for mixing such powders are, however,
dangerous, says photo Notes. and
it is safest for the amateur to avoid
making such mixtures for his own USE
To be on the safe side he SnOulu pur-
chase the powder ready mixed from
dealers and follow the instructions very

"I was faced with a problem recent
ly," writes A. c.. L. in Photography

that it required the best part of
sunny day to secure good picture ON

clouds printed in--by the method of
blocking out first the sky and then the
landscape-was submitted, and then
a request was received for hundred
post cards exactly as proof to be de-
iivered the following day-an impos-
sible feat with my dense negative, and
I had not even a print to which could
add the clouds. These are the means
by which | eventually managed to sup
ply the cards in the stipulated time.
"a print of the negative was made

broidery scissors. A print was then

composite print placed against piece
of glass in large printing frame, and
a copy negative made in the camera.
This defied the closest scrutiny to
say that the clouds were not taken
on the same plate as the landscape,
and was thin enough to give fine
print on phosphate paper with the
briefest exposure. The sky effect was
feature of the picture.
