BILL HOWARD AND CHARLES
EDWARDS,

Dear Uncle Toni am inclosing
you clipping from the Savannah
Press. Mr.. Giles passed through
here yesterday afternoon and asked
me to mail this to you, as you might
not see it.
I notice that Edwards denies hav-
ing had anything to do with the cir
culatiOn Of the jury verdict Of TWEEN
ty-twO years ago against Mr.. Giles.
/ received that circular myself, and
I received one from Washington
City, and also one from Swainsboro.
I do not know who sent the one from
SwainsborO, but the presumption
naturally is that Edwards sent the
one from Washington.
In regard to your having sold out
to the Republican party, as alleged
by Congressman Howard have
heard Mr.. Howard say several times
that he knew you never sold out. I
have heard him asked the question,
and his answer was always the same.
Yours, etc., ALVA D. WATSON.

FELT ASHAMED OF HARDWICK.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-T have just
read, with much pleasure, your re-
ply to little Tom HardWick. And |
will here say that I would have been
surprised at his attack on you if I
had not heard him attempt to make
a speech. But | heard him here at
GAINESVILLE two years ago in joint
debate with Sam Small Hardwicl
was at that time making speeches in
the interest of the candidacy Of the
Hon. Hoke Smith for Governor of
Georgia. It happened that nearly
all Of GAINESVILLE was for Hoke, and
I among the rest. If it had not been
that way, don't know how little and
insignificant Sam Small would have
made little Hardwick feel. But Tom
had the crowd, and we cheered every
thing he said. To tell the truth. [
really felt ashamed for little Tom.
1t seemed to me that any schoolboy
in the 9TH grade, having the backing
HardWick had, could have made a
better speech than he made.
While Hardwick was trying to
speak I was wondering how such a
man happened to get elected to Con-
gress. The joint debate reminded
me Of the cat and the mouse, Sam
Small the cat and Hardwick the
mouse. l hope you have better tim
Der in the 10th district by this time.
If you have not, it would be best for
the people not to elect a Congress-
man and save the taxpayers the
amount of the big salary.
Respectfully, A VOTER.

HE WAS A SOCIALIST. BUT HAS
ABANDONED THE FAKES.

Dear Mr.. Watson: -After reading
The jeff about five months, I have
become very much interested in your
writings. Don't want to take up your
valuable time,-only allow me few
moments to say that I truly appre-
ciate the information you are so gen.
erOusly giving all who will read your
literature
Two years ago, I was a Socialist,
deceived by the Appeal to Reason. I
wish to say that since the leaders of
Socialism have ignored your many
dares, and refused to prepare, pub
lish and sign a declaration of their
principles, as outlined in your daring
dare, they have fallen to vey low
standard in my weak estimation.
I also admire the position you have
taken on Foreign Missions. 1t is
safe to say that common sense
and reason will teach any intelligent,
honest man that Watson is right on
the mission question. If had dol
lar to give to the cause, could find
a needy place for it without even
crossing the lines of the county in
which I live. All, I would to God
that people would wake up to a true
sense of their duty along these lines.
AS this is my first attempt to write
to a paper, I will ring off.
Yours to serve,

A WELCOME LETTER FROM
TEXAS.

Dear Sir:-Thinking you would
appreciate a line from Texas, I have
decided to take a little of your valu-
able time to listen to an old Con-
federate soldier whose fortune it was
to follow Lee, Jackson, Early, Cor
don, and last, but not much less, G.
A. Evans. Yes, I enlisted from Geor-
gia in July, 1861, with Company G,
of the 10th Georgia regiment. Was
wounded at Sharpsburg and at the
first days fight of the Wilderness.

never recovered from the effects of
the wound, and never will so long as

your works on this subject) has I'M

my duty to begin my work nearer

midst that are seeing it as I do. We
neglect our home too much. I feel
that we are commanded to sweep be-
fore our own doors first, then help
others who are in need. My prayer
to God, my brother is that He may
spare you to live to see your work
for the ameliOratiOn of mankind car
ried out. You have many kind friends
here in Texas. I attended the Reun-
ion at Mobile, thence to Cuthbert,

A PARsON NAMED BEARD.

Answer.
Suppose that I were a horse-thief
and a Wife-beater, how would that
justify the luxurious living of the
foreign missionaries, and the buying
up of negro children "all over Afri-
ca?
DR. w. T. Aver wrote from China
to The Index, stating, in effect, that
the missionaries had to put on
style, and keep at least three serv-
ants, else the Chinese would not re-
spect them!
And the editor of The Christian
Herald stated, in his editorial col
umns, that the missionaries had been
buying negro children, "all over
Africa
Some of the poorly paid local
preachers Of this country are so an
CRY with me for turning on the light
that they circulate all sorts of scan
dalous charges against me. 1t is a
shame.
The name of the sister meant, is
Mrs. Julia Chatt, and her P. o. ad-
dress is Thomson, Ga. Those who
care to know whether I have been an
unnatural brother to her can write
to her for the facts.
Naturally, [ myself decline to dis
cuss-further than to say that the

SHOOTING ON THE MESA.

Editor Ell PaSo Herald:
I wish to call the attention OF the
authorities and the public in general to
the dangerous practice of target and
indiscriminate shooting going on daily
on the mesa, particularly during sun
days and especially In the neighbOr-
hood of the water reservoirs. 1t is
absolutely miraculous that no fatalities
have resulted. For instance the writ
er was walking across the mesa from
the head of Mesa avenue toward the
smelter on a Sunday a few weeks ago
when ragged, steel-jacketed bullet
struck the ground a few feet in front
of me. Near me in several directions
were women and children walking and
running about enjoying themselves.
On looking about 1 espied near the
water reservoirs, a group OF men with
high power rifles and single individ
ual with a pistol blazing away" ut
marks and targets located on rocky
points across an arroyo from them
selves. The bullets would strike the
rocks and then ricochet in all direc-
tions-and this right in the heart OF
the great playground of the city.
where the children go to be IN the open
air and get a taste OF the wild"
The city limits extend more than
mile north Of the water reservoirs and
the police should stop this shooting on
the mesa at once. What do you think
about 1t?

TO accept a diagnosis of hydrophobia III
their animals and allow them TO be o,,

There is no such thing as an expert

him it was hydrophibia, and he swal-
lowed the bait.
Again. If a muZzling ordinance is TO

right time? Statistics which are re-
