BROTHER WRIGHT MAKES
CORRECTION.

My Dear Sir and Much Appreci-
ated Friend:-I see in The Jeffer-
sOnian, May 10Th, my squib on
preaching through the Jeffs set the
woods on fire among the Primitive
Baptists, and one Bro. Floyd came to
the rescue of Bro. Spiller. The broth
er's whole charge is wrong. I never
accused Bro. Spiller of being a little
one-horse preacher, but said to al
low such things in the columns of
the Jeffs it would awake a spirit in
every little one-horse preacher to
spill about two columns of preach in
the Jeffs, and shortly there would be
nothing else in the Jeffs but SER
mons. AS lido not intend to make
any more replies in self-defence,
will say, once for all, that Bro. Spill
Ter, Bro. Floyd, nor his successful
farming father, nor Mr.. Watson, nor
any one else, can take the Bible for
their textbook and dispute mission
work, but the Internal way in which
it is done an ignorant niger knows
to be wrong; it's the DEVILS work,
and when they have canvassed sea
and earth to make one proselite he's
ten-fold more the child of Hell than
they themselves are.
No, Mr.. Floyd, am no bootlick for
d. DIS nor E. Els, I stand on the
Word of God. I am with Mr. Wat
son, as he probably knows, as I have
just sent the price to purchase For
elgn Missions Exposed to send a
friend who has been misled by the
craze of missions and those that want
money 1t is not what either T or
you believe about missions; it won't
do to preach through the Jeffs.

ton instead of putting an honest,
truthful man in?
(2) Why was it that he deserted
the Democrats in March, 1909?
CD Why is it that he stands off
and jaws and hum-haWs around at
you through the Savannah Press, and
other papers, and says your charges
are malicious lies, but still refuses to
come into the jurisdiction of the
courts of Georgia and make oath to
his statements as you challenged him
to do?
(4) Did he not say in one of his
speeches, which, suppose, Claude
Bennett wrote for him, 81 advocate
the principles of Democracy, [ have
always chung to the party that gives
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none, and always will?"
Just a word to the voters in con-
clusiOn. Let me plead with you not
to support a man that wears two
faces under one hat; that lies at
every crook of the road, if necessary;
that will desert the Democrats and
vote with the Republicans; a man
that will take woman in his lap and
then say the charges are malicious
lies, but will not make oath to his
statements. Just such a man is Chas.
G. Edwards!

TO e X e M p Il AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTS FROM TAXATION.

Gentlemen:--At the last session of
the Georgia Legislature, Senator AL
vim " Sellers of this (3d) Senatorial
district introduced in the Senate
bill amending the Constitution of
Georgia so as to exempt from taxation
agricultural products while in the
hands of the producer. This matter
will come up for action at the next
meeting of the General Assembly. I
think this is a great measure for the
betterment of the agricultural classes,
and that Senator Sellers deserves the
thanks of the farmers for this step in
their behalf. What do you think?
Let us know what your views are,
and maybe you will wake up some of
the sleeping Legislators.

WANTS DOMESTIC MISSION
WORK CARRIED ON.

Dear Sir:-Your paper has only
visited our home twice, and it has
convinced me that we need to turn
our hearts and money to the suffer-
ing ones of our own country.
[ think it would be all right for
the board to send one-fourth of the
missionary money to foreign coun-
tries, and see that it was properly
used, and the other three-fourths
should go to our suffering ones.
Some have misunderstood your in
tentions of the proper way to use
mission money. They think you
mean for people to stop giving to
any cause Now, l think if a body
won't give to send off they should
contribute to the Sunny South
Brotherhood, and just as much as
they would have given to the other
cause, and they may also send
to the orphans.
Yours for the good work.

AND MORE CAMPAIGN YARNS
ARE YET TO UNRAVEL.

My Dear Mr.. Watson:-WilI you
allow me space in your valuable pa
per to ask question or two?
Why did you say, in your last cam
paign for President, that you desired
Hon. VIM. Taft as President of the
United States Republican,?
Why have you SO censured mem
bers of the Democratic party for
voting the Republican ticket?
I want you to understand that I
am no kicker, only heard a gentle
man discussing the two points men
toned, and do not know very much
concerning them. Hoping you will
put it to Pussy-foot a little harder
and give Calico Charlie a few more
upper-cuts, / am
Wanna, Ga. AN ADMIRER.
Answer.
Cd Never did [ say in my last
campaign for the Presidency, nor in
any other campaign, nor at any other
time, that l desired VIM. H. Taft for
President. This is merely another
campaign yarn, manufactured for the
purpose of catching suckers.
CD Those members of the Demo-
cratic Party who went over to the
Republicans, on the 18th day Of
March. 1909, committed a stupen-
dous crime against the people. Their
act gave Speaker Cannon power to
pack committees, and to exercise a
despOtic rule over the business of the
House. Had Champ Clark's amend
ments been adopted, the House would
have elected a Committee of Fifteen,
which would have controlled legisla-
ton. Therefore, as Speaker Cannon
pointed out in his address at Kansas
City last November, the Democrats
would have bossed the job of framing
the Tariff Bill There were two Re-
lican Insurgents named by Champ
Clark to become members of the Com
mittee of Fifteen, and, as Cannon
pointed out, these two Insurgents
would have voted with the Demo-
Gratis, thus making it simply impos-
sible for the Republicans to increase
the burdens of the people by revising
the Tariff upward. Had Champ
Clarks amendments been adopted,
one of two things would have hap
pened: either the Dingley Bill would
have been left in force, or we should
have had the downward revision of
the Tariff which Mr.. Taft had public
ly, positively, and repeatedly promis-
ed. While the Dingley Bill was one
