Dear Sir:-I read The Jeffersonian

Your exposition of Socialism is GER
tainly fine, cannot be answered. And
your treatise on missions is giving
the people much needed information.
I have been recommending your
paper and Magazine, but am con-
fronted with the proposition that you
canvassed Georgia in the interest of
Taft at the last election. would
like to be, if possible, put in posses
sion of facts that will enable me to
answer these accusations. There are
so many Misrepresentation that I
never believe anything until I get it
straight. Very truly yours,

for some time I would write you
few lines, but I have so busy that I
haven't had the time. I. received
my knife today. I would not take
ten times what it is worth and what
it cost me if I could not get an
other one. Mr.. Watson, keep on
scoring those big-salaried Congress-
men and those foreign missionaries;
you have the masses to back you up,
and you are still gaining every day,
every week, and every month I don't
think it will be long before you will
have that 100000 subscribers to
back you up, and then I want to see
you get 100000 more. I know you
are the only man that we poor peo-
pie have to look to for advice and
truth.

A MOST PITTFUL LETTER FROM
A HEART-BROKEN FATHER.

My Dear Sir:-Will you allow an
old farmer space in your valuable
paper to give the public few facts,
which he thinks it ought to know?
The facts that I wish to state are
these:
In July, 1900, a man named &C."
Dixon, who lived in Johnson county,
Georgia, was foully murdered in his
bed
My son, Jerry Walden, and Dixon's
wife Sarah-were tried, found
guilty, and sentenced to life impris-
onment for the crime.
My son confessed that he took
part in the crime, through hard per-
suasion and lewd influences of Mrs.
Dixon. She stoutly denied her guilt,
saying that the boy only was guilty.
All, who know the facts, believe
the boys testimony. But this is not
all, my boy tolls in the changing,
while, the woman goes Scott free.
They tell me she was released be-
cause she had cancer, and was a
pest to the prison. But so far as I
can learn, she has roamed where she
would since her freedom, and is still
living.
My son has suffered agonies, with
risings, for many months-yet he
tolls.
Jerry Walden never entered
house of ill-fame, unless it was when
he footed Mrs. Dixon's. Johnson
county-where the woman has al
ways been known-says, that nine
years is too long for him to suffer,
while the woman is free.
Hon. William Flanders, who repre-
sented the aforementioned county
few years ago, made free appeal
to the Prison Commission; because
he thinks the boy is treated wrong.
Judge Evans, who passed sentence
on the boy, told me-in a letter.
that Walden should not have been
punished one minute, after Mrs.
Dixon was pardoned.
Mr.. Watson made an eloquent ap-
peal, through these columns, in our
behalf some months ago.
Now, these men did not do this for
dollars, but for right.
| have spent more than I was able
to spend to free my boy-for I am a
poor man. But all this has no weight
with our State authorities. They
say, by their acts that their course
is just-that it is right to punish an
ignorant boy, who never had a case
in court in his life till he met his
ruin-while she, who has ruined him.
goes free. Mr.. Watson, these are the
facts. If one-tenth of your readers
will candidly say that I am wrong, T
will close my lips forever on this
subject
If we are a Christian State, whose
motto is '"To do Justice and Love
Mercy" we ought to practice what
we preach-justice to ALL
It seems to me that some reason
should be given why my boy is not
pardoned. Not alone for his sake,
who is punished-not alone for the
sake of the tottering old father. who
has spent all that he could rake for
the restoration of his son; not alone
for the broken-hearted old mother,
whose gray hairs are going down in
sorrow to the grave for the freedom
of her misguided child; but for the
sake of justice.
Who will help us in this matter?
Mitchell, Ga. s. T. WALDEN.

these long years, it has been my
good fortune to behold it again, now
that | am nearly eighty-four years

THE ASSETS AND THE TLARTTJ-
TIES OF GEORGIA ARE
ON RECORD.

ON RECORD.
Dear Sir:-I wish you to please
answer through The JeffersOnian the
following question. But, by way of
illustration, suppose you have an
agent for your paper, who tells every
where he goes, that you owe more
than you are worth, can't pay your
bills when they become due. there
fore you are face to face with a de-
-bankrupt-what effect could
such have on Bradstreet or Dunn?
Would you consider such an agent
your friend? Would you continue
such agent in your employ, more
especially if he was talking falsely?
Now for the question, isn't this
exactly what our Governor, who
promised us business administra-
ton has done for the State?
Hasn't he, to whom the State should
look for defense, made another ZAP
parent blunder'' against the States
financial condition?
| deny seeking to create friction
between yourself and the Governor,
but ask this only as a matter of
news and information
Yours truly,
M. J. ASHTON.
Answer.
There is no analogy between the
two cases.
In the supposed case of the drum
mer, misrepresenting his employer,
such drummer would know that the
probable consequences of his ISLANDERS
would be the ruin Of the business Of
his employer. Creditors would rush
in, a. receiver would be put in pos
session, and the lawyers and he
would proceed to eat the cheese.
Governor Brown has done nothing
comparable to the supposed drum
mer's betrayal of his employer.
The States assets are on public
record: her liabilities, ditto: conse-
quently the wayfaring man, though
fool, could not be made to doubt
her solvency, by Governor Brown, or
any one else.
All that the Governor did was to
say that, when the appropriations
MADE Tor certain period were salts
fed, there would be no surplus in
the treasury.
AS l have previously stated, it
seems to be a question of book-keep-
ing.
Balance the debts and credits, as
they stood at the time the contro-
versy arose, and there was a visible
surplus, But deduct the amounts
which had been appropriated against
the money in the treasury, and these
appeared to exhaust it.
How could Governor Browns
opinion hurt the State, or it's credit?
He did not say that the State was
insolvent, or could be made so: he
merely expressed the opinion that at
certain time there might be de-
ficiency of available cash on hand,
at the treasury, to meet current ex-
penses.
OF course, the Legislature would
have the power TO supply this deficit,
