Oil at TOrGhlight.

1t is said that while boring a wen
at Torchlight, near the company
store, last week quite flow Of oil
was reached at a depth of 150 or
l6O feet. The boring was for wat
er, but it may result in a richer
find. Or it may be a case of spoil
ing the horn and making no spoon. .
The oil was not found in Berea grit
or Trenton stratum, just, as the
drillers express it, plain old Big
Sandy sand.

PERSONALS!

Dear Brother:-In the absence of
the pastor at the Baptist church in
Bremen, a Saturday or two ago, Bro.
John Quincy Riggs rose and took
your position on Foreign Missions
as his text, and what he said almost
froze my blood-he was so earnest
and eloquent (?). Surely, your ears,
on that particular Saturday, must
have burned if so, you know now
the cause, because one of your Bap-
list brethren was unlim bering OF you.
He actually said that your papers
should be suppressed and not allowed
the use of Uncle Sans mails. Horri-
BILE! Horrible! And that, too, when

Rev. William Dunbar. Atlanta, Ca
Dear Brother:-In The Jefferson
ian of December 23d, I saw a letter
from you to Watson, and his COM
ment on same,
want to say, as a brother in the
M. E. Chruch (by way of encourage
ment), that I admire any man that
has the backbone to stand by what
he believes to be right, especially a
preacher in the church I belong to.
Like you, I'm believer in Tom
Watson, and that he is the man that
stands~for the right as he sees it. He
will meet any one honestly.
May God keep you, and may you
always stand for the right, as you
have in the past. May you live to see
many good years yet to fight for the
right.
Yours for the right,
]. P. MAYOR

most was to see so many deserving

means of acquiring an education. Oh,
how [ longed in my girlhood how
willingly I would have toiled, and
did toll, for the opportunities that
are now GIVEN to the Jap and Chi
nese girls by our missionary work
ers! But the opportunity was not
afforded me, and it was not until
after [ was married, and began to

that I had the chance,-and I en-
braced it-of acquiring a college
education, and | have made it part
of my life work to help, to encour-
age and to point upward those who
are thirsting for that which was de-
MED me in my girlheod. I am still
teaching, and have lately taken into
my home and am instructing one
who has aspirations but has small
hope that those aspirations could
ever be realized in her own home:
and [ feel that am doing Gods will

ye2r-old Baptist white girl than in
sending the same amount abroad to

[ can not close without thanking you
for the lucid explanation of the Ship
Subsidy, as we'll as for the manner of

subjects, making them so plain that

my part, but above all, for the R. F.
D. that you fought for and gained
for us.
[ promise to return the favor in

need them-five votes, four from my
own noble, intelligent sons, and one
from my loved son-in-law, law stu
dent, linguist and iterateur-votes
OF which any man may be proud on

chance to cast them for you.

it mildly. He busted himself as long

the immortal principles advocated by
you in your valuable publications.
From first to last he has sent you

never accept an agency or receive

Judged by platform framed by a
few American leaders who desire to
hoodwink and to trick the people in
to believing that Socialism is not as
bad as it is.
When the Populist party was on
deck, it was easy to tell what it stood
for by examining it's platform, for
the reason that it did not contend
that our whole system should be de-
stroyed, and new one built, but
simply pointed out what was wrong,
and what ought to be remedied. So
cialism is revolution; it proposes to
supp1ant the existing order with an
other one. Consequently, in study
ing what Socialism is, you must go
about it as you would study what
Christianity is, or what Buddhism is.
It is a cult; new science; new
order of things entirely, and, just as
I would go to Darwin's books to tell
what Darwinism Isl just as I would
go to books written by the founders
: of Christian Science to tell what
Christian is, so I have honestly and
industrious1y sought the meaning of
Socialism in the books which were
written and published by those who
founded it.
If Debs, Warren, Wayland, Victor
Berger, Joseph Medi1l Patterson and
Richard LeGa1liene were not afraid,
they would meet the challenge which
[ have flung in their faces. month
after month, on the back cover of my
Magazine, daring them to prepare,
sign and publish q declaration show
ing what Socialism means as to the
marriage relation, private ownership
of land, racial and social equality,
and the home. Why couldn't they
do that, if they haven't got some
thing they mean to hide? Why
shouldn't they frankly publish to the
world statement on those subjects?
I will tell you why, they don't dare
to do it. 1t is because they are
preaching one gospel in Europe and
in the American cities, while they
are publishing an entirely different
doctrine, in the rural communities of
our country. IF they were to sign
and publish statement to the eff
feet that Socialism is what you think
it is, they would lose their millions
of fanatical followers, (mostly COM
posed of ignorant, lawless, immi-
grants) in the big cities. You could
