GIVE YOUR ATTENTION TO THE
HOME SURROUNDINGS FIRST

Dear Sir:-I like your writing on
missions. You are giving light on
the subject. Foreign missions is a
good thing, but I don't believe in
man giving so much away when it is
needed at home. Just think of the
people in America who are badly in
need. A great many missionary
workers seem to think they must
send away all they can get. They
don't seem to think of the ones at
home. Why not help our own people
first and then if we are able help
all others that we can? believe that
God requires us to keep the wolf
from our own door first. I believe
in giving, but how is a great deal Of
what we give used? Does it ever
reach foreign fields? No, it does not.
We have great number Of mission
aries who expect to gain a seat in
heaven through this foreign work.
hope they will, but [ fear a good
many of them will miss it. If we
expect God to bless us, let us take
care of home first and then do other
work. l believe that He will fulfill
every promise to us if we obey Him.
We have good many hypocrites in
this day and time and hell is yearn-
ing for all such. People can fool
man but they can't fool our God. who
is so good to us. 1t is time that
American people were thinking some
about home needs. One man spent
thirty years in foreign fields and then
said he wished he had spent it in
some other way
The Chinese have had 1Ono tinoo
to enlighten themselves, but it seems
that they haven't made much pro-
gress. Why don't we help a people
that would appreciate it and one that
we wouldn't have to hire to be re-
igious? Some people condemn Mr..
Watson because he tells some of their
black deeds in the foreign work and
in other things, too, but where would

some of the black-hearted rulers
carry our people if some of the black
ness wasn't told on them?
There is a class Of people that al
ways is trying to down justice and
freedom. Why? To get few dol
lars they will sell the liberty of their
country. Some fellow will kick at
this, but if he does, it will be all
right. | will only know he is the hit
pup. 1t does some people good to get
mad because when man is mad, he
thinks; otherwise he would not. We
must use our heads for something
else beside peg to hang our hats on.
We must not let few do all the
thinking. You wake up and do some.
I am native Georgian and am
proud of it. | heard Mr.. Watson
make his first speech in Monroe coun-
ty which was at Smarrs Station, and
I have kept up with him ever since
and it is pity that we haven't more
men like him, for I am sure he is
doing a great work and yet he is
fought by that class that is always
trying to down the laboring class of
people when they are the backbone of
the world. Your friend,

more than State house clerk to mail
out checks and circular letters to
County School Commissioners and
pose as "big gum orator at educa-
tiOnal conventions.
And let me add as a kindly hint
to the present Commissioner, that un-
less he shows in his official effusions
more regard for the teachings of
those 'out-of-date" grammarians,
Lindley Murray and Goold Grown,
than he did in his letter to teachers
and others, proclaiming his more
than one hundred endorsers (most of
whom had been secured by his pre-
decessor, before his retirement,)
he will see some "old-fashion, )"
scholarly legislator like Baker, of
Lumpkin, or Hardeman. Of Jefferson,
rise in his place and move to amend
the present law requiring an exam
ination of candidates for the office of
County School Commissioner so as to
make it apply also to the office of
State School Commissioner.
Shades of Orr and Bradwell, with
er are we drifting? Yours truly,

THE ZETTLER PLATFORM WAS A
PERFECT ONE.

Editor of The JeffersOnian:-I
want to thank you for the good talk
you gave me in the recent primary
For the very gratifying vote I re-
ceived, especially at the country pre-
cints, I am sure [ am largely indebted
to your kind endorsement in The
Jeffersonian and the gratuitous publ
cation in it's columns Of my platform
and statements.
| believe the reforms and advance
movements in the State School Com
missioner's office that I stood for
would have been overwhelming en-
dorsed by the people if I could have
brought them to their attention, but
[ had neither the time nor the means
to overcome the adverse conditions
existing during my short campaign
But these policies did not go down
with my defeat and if you can afford
to let me urge them through the.
weekly JeffersOnian I will hammer on
them until the people shall demand
them in tones that the commissioner
will be compelled to respect I held:
CD That the Commissioner should
go among the people whose schools
are in his Charge-the country peO-
ple-the rural schools
CD That he should get a clerk
who will give his undivided time to
the office and not conduct an outside
business while serving the State as
it's hired employee.
CD That textbooks should be
changed less frequently and the price
of them reduced.
(4) That better schools in the
country districts and free textbooks
should precede the enactment of
Statewide compulsory attendance
law.
60 That in the event of his resig-
nation the Commissioner shall take
no part in the selection and appoint
ment of his successor; especially that
he shall not mail out at the expense
of the State circular letters or cleo
ton literature in behalf of himself
or favored candidate.
The salary of the Commissioner. I
admit, is not what the dignity, re-
sponsibility and work of the office
require, but the Legislature does right
not to increase it until the Commits
sioner shows himself to be something

THE 'BURKE LETTER" A FLIMSY
POLITICAL STRUCTURE.

Dear Sir:-I have just read
"Burke'S Charge Against Watson"
which appears on page eight of The
Jeffersonian, as copied from the

amazed to think a political enemy
would do another such injustice to at
tempt to make the Burke letter ap-
ply to T. E. Watson, of Georgia.
My opinion of the matter is that

Answer.
THERE is A SYSTEM TO BREAK
UP POLITICAL CLTOUES.

Dear Sir:-Having just afflicted
you with letter | beg your pardon
for this, but the temptation is great
A young gentleman asks you who fill
ed Mr.. Daviss seat in the Senate?
The answer is: No one | say this
with all due respect to the estimable
gentleman elected to the Senate from
Mississippi. No man capable of filling
Mr.. Davis's seat can be elected from
any State in the Union. And yet Mr..
Blaine says in his book that James S.
Green from this State towers intel
lectually above every man on either
side in the Senate in 1860 Recall
the great men in the Senate of both
parties at that period. | have read
about all the speeches delivered at
that time, and | concur in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Blaine. He says that if
Mr.. Douglas was making a speech on
squatter sovereignty and saw Green
taking notes he became unnerved.
understand that Mr.. Green never
took notes, but had a peculiar habit
of throwing up his head, showing his
interest. Now to apply this seeming
digression: Old men, who knew Mr..
Green, say, when he came to a town
it was usually smoking a corn-cob
pipe, and that he would not speak to
or know six men. Mr.. Davis's daugh-
ter, in a caustic letter to Roosevelt,
said her father never asked man to
vote for him or solicited an office in
his life. Under your direct system
of electing Senators the grain gam
bier (Who had possibly earned a
place, but not in the Senate) who
would put up with the State commit
tee 100000 would probably beat
both For all this reform amounts
to, the rascals, instead of buying the
Legislature, buy the State commit
tee, they the subordinate committees;
then buy the great dailies and most
OF the country papers, and the thing
is accomplished 1t only takes more
money
When you can build a house with
out any foundation, then | will tell
you how you can elect, by honest
means, an honest Senator where you
admit that the people, who are the
foundation of our political structure,
do in fact elect a corrupt Legislature.
| have ridden seven hundred miles
on horseback, made often as many as
three speeches a day, and know how
the thing works.
Respectfully,
