STAND YOUR GROUND.

Dear Sir:-I was very agreeably
surprised the other day when I re-
ceived the nice pocket knife with
your picture in the handle. I appre-
ciate it highly.
I look anxiously for my Magazine
in every mall it is all the reform
reading I get since the old Missouri
World stopped. What are we poor
Pops to do? Go in with the Social
lists? Most all have here. I am al
most alone. If they would get on
our platform with both feet and stay
there, it would look more like it. |

some way for the reform forces to
get together, we are forever gone.
Accept my best wishes and my
feeble prayers for your success.

down the line of reform it seems

the fight to the end.

printed in The Jeffersonian of April
Z, 1910, and said if she had been in
China the people would have been
crazy about her. He touched on the
Fairbanks incident. He said that in
looking over the report of the Home
Board he found that the Board gave
the INDECENT ministers five dollars a
month to live on, and that he be-
lived if they were in China they
would give them fifty dollars per
month. He told of the poverty in
Kentucky, and how they needed our
aid in the mountains of Kentucky,
Georgia and Florida, telling that
they never would be able in those
mountains to build schoolhouses and
colleges without aid.

CAN'T KEEP HOUSE WITHOUT
THE JEFFS.

Dear Sir:-I would not keep house
without the weekly Jeffersonian and
Magazine. They are more company
to me than any other publications re-
ceived. | earnestly hope that you
may prosper in your noble work.
[ was driven from the race for
representative from my county be-
cause I favored the passage Of law
requiring the banks of Arkansas to
pay interest on county funds de-
posted with them by treasurers and
sheriffs. I am denounced as "Radi-
CALI and firebrand, and as an apOs-
tie of Tom Watson, and have been
classed with publicans and sinners
because I have been honest enough
to accept the truths you set forth
women who are sensible enough to
accept the truth even though it does
come from the pen of Tom Watson.
A few days ago I threw down the
gauntlet to the preachers in the col
umns of my county paper, but they
don't think it best to agitate the
question. There is nothing on earth
they dread so much as agitation.
Truth is born of agitation and, in the
language of the brilliant Brown,
Truth lives in every atom, blooms
and when this earth shall return to
cosmic dust it will stand unscathed
amid the crash of matter and the
wreck of worlds. Your friend,

ONE MANS EXPERIENCE WITH

Dear Sir:-I will give give you a
little of my experience with Socialists
before I ever heard of you. There
were six of these Socialists boarded
with me all summer. They were not
fit to be in the house. When pay
day came there wasn't one that dare
trust the other to cash the draft;
they would sign it over to me, and l
would give them the money. They

Dear Mr.. Watson:-I can not re-
frain from writing you that you have
converted one Baptist preacher to
your idea on Home Missions. Our
pastor, Mr.. G.. B. Trasher, of Mil
edgeville, Ca, preached us one of
the grandest Home Mission sermons

BILL HOWARD HAS BEEN RE-
SPONSIBLE FOR THIS FOR
ALL THESE YEARS.

Dear Sir:-I have read for some
time your articles on Foreign Mis-
siOns and, of course, other articles in
general, but the information | have
gained from them has been both in
teresting and instructive. | have a
number of books in my library on
Foreign Missions and | have studied
them both in college and since my
graduation, but [ got more benefit
from your articles than [ ever obtain
ed from all sources in all my life.
Had [ favored foreign missions be-
fore | learned these facts | would
then have branded them an evil of
mOmentOus proportions.
Now, there is another topic of vi
tai interest to the people of Georgia,
and you are the man who can best
discuss it publicly. 1t is the case of
our Collector of Internal Revenues.
A few days since l made an excuse
to go into the office of this "hewer
of wood and drawer of water for the
purpose of observing what I could
I cannot give expression to the feel
ing that arose within me- There sat
on one side of large desk, a man
in a reclining chair, with arms folded
across his breast and a cigar in his
mouth-this negro. He seemed to
be watching with eagle-like keenness
the movements, the slave-like tasks
of two white men on the opposite
side of the table. Master and serv-
ant had reversed positions. Why
this, Mr.. Watson? Is it possible that
out of all the men of this State of
ours this negro is the most compe-
tent one to fill this position? Have
We at last reached political and So
cial eQuality-aye, Superiority in
this case of the race that has been
recognized and held as our inferior
whereof the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary? Grant
that there is only one man in this
fair Commonwealth, besides the ne
gro, capable of this office. Why,
then, has a white man taken a ne
gro and placed him over white men
to oversee, to task, to guard? Can
any motive other than malicious
Northern prejudice and hatred be as
signed for such a dastardly deed?
Please write an article in your pa
per and Magazine on this subject I
shall feel personally indebted to you
for this, as l do for your instruction
on the infamous fbroad-sightednes
of our Foreign Missions.

JUST ANOTHER FALSEHOOD.
NEVER HAD A CASE FOR
THE FARMERS ALL
ANCE.

ANCE.
My Dear Sir:-I am a subscriber
to both your weekly and monthly
JeffersOnians, and think they are the
grandest publications in the South.
| certainly enjoy your writings on
Socialism and Foreign Missions.
Enclosed you will find a blank fill
ed out with five trial subscriptions,
for which my, boy will expect a Wat
son knife. I think when their time
is out we will send them in for twelve
months. When | am out from home
| am always looking for subscribers.
If everybody had the money [ believe
[ could send you list of names
every week. But, of course, as you
are aware, money is scarce in the
country at this season of the year.
| have found one man that is OPP
posed to hearing Tom Watson's name
called. His name is Mr.. F. M.
Mooney, of this place, formerly of
Georgia. He claims that you ct. E.
W. robbed the Farmers Alliance of
100000. He said that Livingston
beat them out of $4,000 and they
employed you as their lawyer, and
that you collected the $4,000 and
never did turn it over to it's owners.
| notice in the weekly of the 18th
that you explain what killed the AL
lance, but I don't understand who
got the $4,000 that belonged to the
Alliance. I think it would be of
great good to you to let your readers
of this part of the country know
what went went with the money. AS
I am young man and know but very
little about the Alliance, would be
glad if you would answer through
the weekly JeffersOnian.
| am your friend and admirer,
CHAS. A. MITCHELL.
Skirum, Ala.
Answer.
This is the first time that this par
ticular accusation ever came to my
knowledge. Of course, it is abso-
Iutely untrue. At no time did | ever
represent the Farmers Alliance as an
attorney. At no time did I ever col
lect for it $4,000, or any other
amount Of money. At no time, did
| ever use, improperly, a dollar of
their money.
The Exchange lost $4,000, but I
don't know who got the money A
prominent Allianceman, who lived at
Madison, Ca, was censured for the
failure; but [ don't know whether
his integrity was questioned. If you
will write to Capt. James Barrett,
Augusta, Ca, you can get the facts.
Col. w. L. Peek, Conyers, Ga,
could no doubt furnish them, also;
as could Hon F. D. Wimberly. of
Cochran, Ga.
Ex-Governor w. J. Northern At
lanta Ga. perhaps knows as much
about it, as the other gentlemen
named.
They will all tell you that / had
nothing in the world to do with it.

the lower floor of the house. Getting
out of bed, he picked up his revolver
and crept down stairs to the kitchen.
AS he entered the door he espied man
crouching behind a table. with dark

scream and leaped headlong through an
open window. which had evidently been

he was poised over the window sill
Titus fired again, and once more the
burglar uttered a cry. Titus rushed to
the window as he reached the ground,

dashed away into the darkness. Titus
