The law only required road hands to

IN the commissioners court, behind

should at least open the eyes of
some of the numerous victims of the
increasing lunacy regarding Foreign
Missions foisted upon this country by
fussy Len Broughton and his kind,

in our Southland, who has the cour-
age and force, to publicly condemn
this craze in such an able way. Your
having done so, in self-defense, will
have the entire appreciation of all
deep thinking, good citizens
1t is unfortunate that your reply
could not be circulated in pamphlet

our Anglo-Saxon race demands that a
halt be put to this Foreign Mission

A SOUTH CAROLINA BAPTIST
WHO SUPPORTS HOME MIS-

Dear Sir:-Tom Watson's name
is familiar one to hear in crowds
that meet at Sunday-schools and
many other places, those who read
his paper or Magazine.
I am humble deacon in Bap-
fist church, will be fifty-three years
old the fifth of April next, and be-
lieve God is using you to enlighten
the masses of people on the Mission
question.
The Cedar Rock Baptist church
that I belong to has been organized
about twelve years, and has never
sent any money, through any of the
boards, to Foreign Missions. We
send our money direct to the man on
the field.

Jesus Christ and humanity,

JOHN LEE DIDN'T GET S. j.
COWAN'S SCALP.

Dear Sir:-In justice to Brother
CoWan, who has been published
throughout the Union of Georgia as
one who had proven himself unwor-
thy of employment by the Union, and
who, on account of some things he
had written President John L. Lee
concerning said information, said
President J. L. Lee preferred charges
against said S. J. Cowan and had him
tried before his Local on the 18th
inst, we wish to make a statement of
the facts as brought out at the trial.
The charge was, that S. J. Cowan
had written things that did reflect
on the character of a member by say
ing that the statement in the letters
sent out by the Executive Commit
tee and President J. L. Lee that he
Is. J. Cowan) had been refused work
by the State headquarters because of
his former acts were untrue, for he
had asked for no work of them. Con-
sequently, could not have been re-
fused, and he proved that it was I'M
true by asking the State President
and one of the Executive Committee
that was present if he had asked
them for work, and they said he had
not.
They said that the reason they had
written the Union that he IS. J.
Cowan) was unworthy was for the
reason that he had stated that he ex-
pected to lecture in counties that
wanted his services Independently of
the State headquarters.
Brother COWan explained by say
ing that he did not mean to leave the
impression that he was going to work
in opposition or in rebellion against
the authorities, but as local preach
er who had been engaged in evangel-
istic work for the last twenty years
1t did not suit him to take work un-
der the President and be subject to
his call at any and all times, thus in
terfering with his other work that
he considered of much greater impor-
lance than anything else, and on
hearing the testimony on both sides,
the membership exonerated him by
the overwhelming vote of sixteen to
two GIG to p.
Mr.. Lees action throughout the
trial showed that he was going to
turn out Brother Cowan, or take the
charter from the Local.
When Lee saw how things were
drifting, he said in a threatening
way that the charter of the State of
South Carolina was annulled for a
much less offense than this.
Brother Cowan was brilliant in his
defence all the way through. We
have not an ADLER or better member
in Georgia than he.
He has proven himself true ever
since he began work, and for man
of Lees standing to come all the way
down here at the expense of all the
