Mr.. Darlings letter on spiritualism,
published in The Journal last week, was
read with interest by many and has been
very favorably commented upon. 1t bears
the stamp of sincerity and breathes
throughout a Christian spirit which is
IN strong contrast with the vile and
venomous book which prompted the wri-
ting of his letter.

would spring up at this announcement
are somewhat set back by the~lnfoerm,a-

this brand of erotic fiction has its day the

Two years ago Penobscot county drift
ed away from its Republican mornings
and was captured by the Democrats, and
the result was what might have been ex-
pected. The Bangor Daily News says:
There is something shameful in the
way Penobscot county has been govern
ed for nearly two years past. Appar-
emily there is no open graft. Potently,
the two chief executive officials of the
county-the sheriff and the county attor-
ney-are doing nothing toward enforcing
the laws against crime" This does not
mean simply the prohibitory laws. The
News thus arraigns these officials, who
are drawing fat salaries from the county
and who are candidates for reelection:
Do they base their claim to election
before the voters of this county upon
brave girl who was strong enough to
protect her innocent body from ravish-
ment-without any help from the alert
sheriff, who did not show up officially
until the next day? Or do they think
case of open horse-stealing at lighted
resort, QlfecUly uIueT lue care VI The
sheriff, of sufficient Importance to COM
snend them both to reelection? Seriously,
gentlemen, what crimes outside of crimes
arising from having taken too much
liquor-what crimes that would have
been crimes at all, had it not been for
liquor-have you handled since taking
office until today? Answer up promptly
now. Is it not fact that you are cod
ding and giving dollhouse culture to
some 300 or 400 bar rooms, speak easies,
social clubs and their like in Penobscot
county, for the apparent purpose of fos
1ering nurseries for assault and battery,
pocket picking, assault with intent to
Kill and other assorted and diabolic
grimes, or otherwise you would be en-
tirely out of a job, having failed to pay
any attention whatever to the dealers in
intoxicating liquors?
These are the conditions that would
prevail in Waldo county, in every county,
and in the State under Democratic rule.
The Democrats say they are in favor of
the enforcement of all laws, but as a
party do not mean it, while the reverse
, is true of the Republican party, the
party of law and order, Of progress and
prosperity.

The Rockland Opinion says of Presi-
d ent Taft's visit to the LIMERICK city:
He was received and welcomed in way
that did credit to the city and gave pleas
ure to the distinguished gentleman him
SELF and that:
The people saw enough of Taft to
make sure that they like him, and he says
ne likes them-and we believe him. He
would not talk politics, although he was
urged to do so by politicians and is deep
" Interested in them himself. He knew
that his kind of politics is not agreeable
70 a large portion of the people who were
his hosts. and a delicate feeling of pro-
priety made him resist all opportunities.
This is something that is deeply appreci-
ated, ard it removed all obstacles to
free and cordial expression of regard for
him. Mr.. Taft made an excellent i'm
preston and will ever be kindly remem-
bered by the people of Rockland.
The editor of the Opinion, Oliver Otis,
was a member of the reception commit
tee, and although strenuous Democrat,
knows good man when he sees him and
is not afraid to say so.

Dear Brotherhood: PLEASE pardon nv delav
in answering your last letter. We thank you very
much for the three dollars that you sent me- AS
the parties you were helping better and had
gone to work, gave two dollars of it to preacher
Butler and his two children. He is not able to
work; is suffering with rheumatism. The other
dollar | am using to help Brother Love, the Grip
pied man, to get him rolling chair. May the
blessings of God rest upon you all. We are 60
ing to try, with the HEP of the good Lord to
build a Home Mission House at the ellis Springs
for the purpose of taking care of little orphan
children and fallen girls and DID, worn out peo-
pie, or sick and suffering ones that have no
means of support, and we want Daddy Jim the
Father of Brotherhood to help us in this
great and noble work. and we also want all the
brotherhood to help us if they can Brother Gill
lis and Brother Matthews have given us five acres
OF land to build and six good Christian men
and women have promised to help carry on the
work, so we are praying to God and trusting to
God and the good people to help us get money to
build this mission. We think that this is the
best spot in Georgia to have such home, as the
waters have such healing properties in them and
they are building railroad by there, which will
make it convenient to get to it. Let us all help
to get this home, which 1 pray will be blessing
to many poor suffering ones. I will close and
pray Gods blessing Mr.. Watson and the
Brotherhood for the good cause, MRS
M. E. GEORGE, Covena, Ga.
owe must all help in such work as this.
Next week [ will make a special appeal for
this proposed home. In the meantime, write
to Mrs. George and see if you can't give her
some practical help.-DADDY JIM

THIS is CLOSE AT HOME.

Dear Brotherhood The brother that I have
been writing to you about has received lots of
help from the people around here, and they are
still helping but they would be glad for some of
the Brotherhood from different parts of the coun-
try to help the poor and needy. The Father, who
is in Heaven, will not forget those that help the
poor and needy. Do you remember what the
Bible tells us of the poor man begging at the rich
mans gate and of how he caught the crumbs that
fell from his table, and the rich man died and
went to hell while the poor man died and went
to Heaven. I received the Sunny South badge
and was certainly proud of it. / hope to have
my name on the Sunny South roll in short while,
and will try to do my part in helping the poor
and the ones that are in need. Brothers, remem-
Der how sad it would be for Brother Phillips to
take to his bed of affection and not get prompt
attention Just suppose it was you and your
wife and little children, and you in his con-
dition? l hope that we can all meet some sweet
day before the White Throne, where we will have
no pain or sorrow. Daddy Jim, may the Lord
bless you in your work for that poor man, and
feel sure that you will do all in your power for

HELP HER TO HELP HERSELF.

Dear Brotherhood Il hope that you are all
enjoying this fine weather. You must make hay
while the sun Shines for the winter will
shut us in AS for me, I have been staying out
in the hall and been able to go to the table. This
is real treat, l have been the bed for
nearly four years, and have had to eat lying fiat

thankful for the change and rest from the bed
but even now | am the little helpless shut
in. Can't so much roll my chair, and 1 never

Will Answer

Thomson, Ga, Sept. 4, 1910.
Hon. Hoke Smith, Atlanta, Ga
Sir:-Be SO good as to answer the follow
ing questions, promptly and categorically, yes
or no:
l. Did you or not tell NJ S. Cornett, of
Lawrenceville, Ga, that | offered to support
you for three thousand dollars during the
recent campaign, and that you answered that
you did not need me! Did he not circulate
this Infamous falsehood throughout his sec
ton at your direct instance!
g. Did you not tell j. j. Brown, of Bow
man, Ga, that you considered the late pri-
mary and the county unit plan as two issues
that had been settled by the people two years
ago, and that you would be governed by the
will of the people thus expressed! Did
you not tell my friend Brown this, knowing
that he would bring the information to me!
Were you not grossly decelvlng Mr.. j. j.
Brown and other citizens of the country coun-
ties, and did you not have in mind, even then,
to renew your attack upon the constitutional
rights of the country counties?
g. Do you think it was right, after having
eliminated the $4,000 white Democrats who
voted for Joe Brown, to shaclxle the represen-
tatives of the $4,000 Democrats who voted for
you by the adoption of those unprecedented
rules that were concocted by you and Reub
Arnold and Boykin Wright?
t. Is it your honest intention to make de-
termlned fight on the railroads, to compel
them to make material reduction of freight
rates on commodities coming from and going
to the seaports of this state?
