Now, do not know whether Messrs. Cheat
ham and Reed used any subscription money,
after they stopped publishing The Cotton
Journal. Letters have come to me, however,
which show that somebody, at the Atlanta
office of the Company, took and used such
funds, after 1t had become ua10WfM to do so.
My opinion is, that if every such subscriber
aoiz put aorittem demand on Cheathama, the
money will return where it belongs.

worthy people have been hit by The Cotton
Journal Company
Somebody ought to be made an example of,
to deter others from film famming innocent,
confding people in the same way.
Had [ not been lawyer, and fairly good
business man, with financial resources and
perfect credit, the sharks would have de-
voured the plant of The Cotton Journal Com
pany. None Of the officers Of the concern
raised hand to protect 1t. But for me, the
we'll known Accomplishments of receiver
ship would have eaten it up, in fees, commits
sions and court costs.
In spite of all my vigilance, certain con-
stable did rush into the building, drag off
several hundred dollars worth of stuff
which one Of his bondsmen bought in, at what
seems to have been an illegal and collusive
sale. That incident IS not get closed With
this exception, I steered the property into
port, intact; and am ready for settlement,
on the basis of the contract, whenever the Di-
rectors are prepared to make one. The debts
are all overdue, and the title has passed to
Mrs. Watson; but neither of us have, for a
moment, entertained the idea of taking adj
vantage of anybody. We have all the vouch-
ers, etc, and can make satisfactory showing
whenever it is desired.

There not being money enough to run Rich
ard Cheatham and The Cotton Journal both,
the latter was discontinued Richard kept on
running regularly A remarkable man is he,
the said Richard. His running mates, Har-
vie Jordan and Henry Reed, are likewise re-
markable men.
Things were in desperate plight at The
Cotton Journal office, last Spring, when Hen
ry Reed descended upon us, here in Thomson.
Wanted money-Henry did. Not measly
sum, either: wanted $1,000. Henry is as
smooth an article as ever came ambling down
the plke he made us a fascinating offer.
Would bind the Company, for a year and a
half, to do our printing, if [ would lend them
the desired coin. The printing was to be done
at cost, until the loan was repaid-after which
it was to be done to the end of 1910, at 10
per cent. advance

But there was bug in the buttermillz It
is a principle with me never to be deceived by
the same man taoice. Almost anybody can
fool me once nobody can do it second time.
Harvie Jordan had duped me in 1905, and
had inflicted upon me a public humiliation.
For this, / bear him no malice; but the re-

Harvie was connected He said that Harvie
was to resign. Harvie did so, and [ made
him the loan.
Soon afterwards, it became clearly appar-
ent that the resources of the Company were
insufficient to maintain both Richard Cheat
ham and The Cotton Journal. And, of course,
Richard had to be maintained.
[ put it to you all, How could Things Go
On, Without Dick Chatham? Pshaw!
There's nothing to debate Nor yet to arbi-
trate. Get along without Dick Cheatham?
Why, who ever Heard of such Thing?
Dick hadn't, at all events, for when it came
to choice between spending the Filthy on
himself, or on The Cotton Journal, he did not
pause at the Rubicon.
Passed right across, as though Rubicons
were not in it with Richard Cheatham.
Yes, Sir: he let The Cotton Journal suspend
publication, while he continued to beam upon
the surroundings with the unruf1ed COM
placency of coon in high office.
Week after week went by, and Richard
made no effort to revive his paper-the pre-
cious thing which we are asked to believe
swallowed a quarter of a million dollars with
in four years.
Oh, what an extraordinarily expensive
weekly The Cotton Journal was
After Richard stopped running his paper,
subscriptions continued to pour in. Renew

the sale of seats very heavy for each
night. the first of the two perform
ances of Damon and Pythias" Will
be given this evening at the Majestic
theatre and 1t is generally expected
that the production will prove one of
the prettiest and most interesting
and worthy home talent entertain
ments in the city's history.
Last night two complete, full dress
rehearsals were held and the per-
formance could hardly have proven
more satisfactory.
The eloven magnificent scenes of
the great drama will be presented in
an ideal manner. The company Is
beyond doubt one of the strongest
and most talented ever assembled
here from among home people for a
dramatic production.
Damon and Pythias" Is play
that will interest, entertain and in
struct every one, children or adults.
Throughout the years 1t has proven
one of the greatest dramas ever
written. Mantell, Warde, James
Hanford and many other of the great
actors have every one, in years gone
by enjoyed many most successful sea
sons starring in this grand old play
From spectacular standpoint the
performances tonight and tomorrow
night promise to be magnificent.
The performances are under the
auspices of the local lodge knights oI

Numerous good seats are still OBJ
tainable for either of the two per

was more than two weeks ago.
During the week previous to the
writing OF the letter Mrs. Arthur said
that Mr.. Arthur had been over to
Oberammergau, the scene of the pro-
duction of the great passion play and
that he had had very long con-
versatlon with Anton Lang. who will
play the part of Christ at the coming
production. He also met Mrs. Lang.
He was told that the first produc-
tion would take place in Oberammer-
gau on May 9th and that 1t would be
for the journalists who would be
gathered there from all over Europe
and America. He said that already
they had engaged their rooms for the
week or more. AS the present pro-
ductlon is to be the last one that will
ever be given of the great passion
play. 1t Is attracting worldwide at
tention and there will gather the larg-
est number of people who have ever
seen the play.
Mr, Arthur states that both Lang
and his wife speak very good English
and are well educated and fully rea-
lie the ordeal that the production of
this wonderful play, means for both
of them, to represent the immortal
character of Christ.
Among other things Mrs. Arthur
reports very bright social week
| ahead of her at the time of the writ
ing of the letter. with an invitation
among many others to the Ambassa-
doris ball at Munich.
1t is uncertain from the statements
of the letter to know exactly If the
Arthurs were in Paris at the time of
the great flood or whether they post
poned their visit after hearing of the
condition of the weather there prev
| ious to their anticipated visit. from
tho letters they received from the
