Patriotic Attorneys.
Massrs. Lett and Stuart were ques-
toned so as to bring out the fact that
they. prorsineht lawyers and lnfiuen'
tial citizens OF the city, are assisting
the commonwealth without compehsa-
ton in the prosecution OF this case.
Mr.. Lett said that whom the prosecu-
ton started he was approached In
regard TO assisting in the defense, b.r-
he thought the conduct of the insur-
ance combine toward this community
was such an outrage that he not only
refused 10 take part In the defense,
but volunteered TO assist the common
wealths attorney in what he believed
to be a fight for Justice Mr.. Stuart
said that Captain Berkeley had con-
suited him as a friend and az A law
yer in whom he had confidence before
taking the first step in this matter.
He had advised Captain Berkeley that
the latter's opinion a. to the law In
the case was correct. and when the
prosecution was started he decided to
help, on account of his friendship for
the commonwealth attorney and for
patriotic reasons as well.
Argued by Counsel.
Counsel argued on the motion for a
change OF venue briefly. Messrs.
Bachelor and Read contended strong
ly that their clients had the right to
demand a trial outside Of this com
munity, because the community prac-
tically is the complainant In the case.
Counsel for the commonwealth insist
ed that there is no reason why the
court cannot proceed with the trial
in the regular way. urging particular
~ that a jury brought here from the
outside would not be interfered with
in the slightest degree. Special stress
was laid upon the fact that there
have been practically no spectators
in the court room during the proceed
ings up 60 this time. the common
wealth Contending that this was proof
that the condition pictured by coun-
sci for the defense does not exist |
Decision Reserved.
The argument was not concluded /
until nearly O'Clock in the evening. /,
Then Judge Barham announced that
he would take the matter under ad /
visenent. and directed the sergeant !
to adjourn court until this morning
at IL o'clock.
The veniremen and witnesses were !
excused until this morning. liz the :
event Judge Barham ovcrrules the |
motion for a change of venue and de- .
cides to draw a jury from Newport ,

est the least of Adams race.

congratulate you for the position that
you occupy on what we call Home
mission. [ am Primitive Baptist
from start to finish Some people
call us selfish and ignorant; it has
ever been our scheme to sustain the
causes that are sacred to us. We op-
pose Foreign Missions; never in the
history of my life have l heard such
an uproar about Foreign Missions as
since the murder of Elsie Siegle. |
was raised an orphan girl and the
luXuries of life were unknown to me,
as is true of hundreds of children of
today, who have no one they can call
papa or mamma, and who need help.
No doubt the cause you are now ad
yOcating has brought smiles to sad
faces and sunshine to lonely hearts.
Hoping your wise decision may
reach far and wide and prove bless
ing to humanity, and that your eff
forts may be crowned with success,

slanderous charges.
The brothers children referred to
were raised in Thomson in a house
belonging to me. They were edu-
Gated by me at the High School, and
received as good an education as my
own sisters. The home which they
occupied up to the time they left
Thomson for Atlanta is my property,
but not a cent of rent was ever
charged, and the widow now enjoys
the income from it. The lot adjoins
the Baptist Church, and could prob
ably be sold for fifteen hundred dol
lars. She is welcome to sell it and
use every dollar of it. I have never
asked her for cent, and never in
tend to. The children are all grown;
some are married and others at work
in positions of their own choosing.
I have never given more than ten
dollars at clip to Foreign Missions,
and not cent of late years. I never
intend to give another dollar, so long
as the present unscriptural method
prevails. T. E. w.

REDEENIING OUR DEAR LITTLE
DORA

Dear Mr.. WatSOn:-I enclose a sec
ton of the Christian Herald contain
ing a portrait Of Dear Little Dora"
| do not know her missionary yalua-
ton, as the price of her 'fred emption'
seems to be a profound missionary
secret; perhaps our grandfathers
could appraise her accurately, having
had experience in buying and selling
her kind in the open market some
years ago, when they had constitute
tional right to do so. Times have
changed, and these foreign mission
aries, in order to secure the services
of trained body-servant and house
girl, seem now to have to resort to
''pious fraud" and blandly redeem"
(BUY) a little niger with money
good Christian people have sent to
buy Bibles and build churches with.
If buying and selling darkies was
morally wrong in the South fifty
years ago, when legally right, how
comes it that bunch of American
foreign missionaries can now go over
to Africa and buy there without him
drance? Of course, there is an ad-
vantage in catching 'em when
young" the earlier domestic or other
training begins the more thoroughly
capable the servant will be.
Maybe some of the foreign mission
airy shriekers among JEFF readers
would be interested to see the pic
ture of the dear little redeemed
Dora. so as to better comprehend
what some of their hard-earned, con-
scentiously donated money has
bought. Sort of a dark-complexioned
gold brick-eh?

REV. j. B. DIXON RAILS ON
WATSON.
WATSON.

Dear Strive Missionary Bap-
lists had a good union meeting at
Bethel Church 9Th Sunday in May,
except in a few points. The Rev ]. B.
Dixon, of Register, Ca, denounced
you as being against missions, as not
being sincere in your work, as he
would have the Missionary Baptists
believe you were against missions,
and would have the Primitives be-
lieve you had given $4,000 of their
subscription money to Foreign Mis-
siOns to turn them against you. He
said you allowed your brothers chill
dren to go by your home to the Or
phan's Home. He denounced you as
being black-hearted man. He spoke
as though he knew all these charges
to be true. Afterwards | told him /
did not believe you gave $4,000 of
the Hardshells' money to Foreign
Missions. He at once said he was
not the author of the rumor. He
further acknowled ged you did not
make assertions unless you had good
substantial grounds for same He
further said there were two kinds of
fools: one was for the lack of sense,
but you were a fool because you had
too much sense.
CD Have you received $4,000
subscription from the Primitive Bap-
lists of Georgia?
CD Have you given 5000 of that
money to Foreign Missions?
This is what Bro. Dixon seems to
want to impress the Primitive people
with, as there are a good many in
this section, Bullock county, Ga.
find the Board preachers are the ones
that are railing on you. I find the
old-fashioned preachers of the Bible
are with you. I do not find where
you were ever against missions; [ do
not find where you were ever against
the Church: I do not find where you
ever said word against the preacher
for preaching the Word as it is in
the Bible.
Respectfully,
A PRIMITIVE BAPTIST.
