A PLEA FOR A STATE PARK AT
TALLULAH FALLS.

Dear Sir: Just at this time the
people of Georgia, and the South
need man to take the lead in a
movement to conserve the Tallulah
Falls, the grandest Southern scenery,
which is now slowly, but surely being
destroyed by corporation. This
company has bought up lot of these
lands, it is true but just around the
falls there seems to be quite a frac-
ton of land that is not, nor never has
been claimed by any one, and must,
of course, be the property Of the
State this fraction must contain at
least one thousand acres of rough
land including the entire falls. The
most of the citizens of Georgia favor
this to be made a public park, and
thousands of them would be perfectly
willing to contribute something to
have this done. This has been car
ried up before the Governor and At
torney General, to get them to inves-
tigate the matter; but up to the
present time nothing has been done:

AN ANSWER TO MIR. WOOD.

Dear Sir: | read with care and in
terest Mr.. e. H. Woods letter printed
in The Jefrersonian, bearing date Of
October 1th and 18th, 1911.
Permit me, please, to commend to
Mr.. Woods deliberate perusal,
through The Jeffersonian, J. II. Pit
tingell A. MS work, entitled 1.-THE
Unspeakable Gift" The gift Of eter-
nal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord, which may be purchased from
I. G.. Welcome, Yarmouth, Maine,
for $500.
Dr. Pettingel1s master contention
for the doctrine of eternal life only
through Christ appeals to the rea-
son Of scholars and Bible students
alike. A doctrine with which you
can accord more scripture than you
can with any other doctrine. A doc
trine that interested me in the study
of my Bible and the promises of our
blessed Redeemer, as no other doc
trine ever did
The seeker for Immortality will be
honored with the gift of eternal life.
The incorrigible transgressor will be
annihilated in the second death.
Hoping to hear from both Mr.. Wat
son and Mr.. Woods through The
Jeffersonian after they read the book
in question, | am, Yours truly,
J. B. KEATHLEY.

A VERMONT MAN rs INTERESTED.

Editor Watson: I have to thank
somebody for a copy of Watson's
August number. It's stand against
Romanism is sane, sound and impera-
lively necessary. Its attitude is pa
triotic, courageous and heroic It's
rebuke of our rulers, and so-called
Protestant divines, for un-American
conduct at the Baltimore Love Feast
with Cardinal Gibbons, was most
richly deserved
AS you style Wa1son's Magazine,
one in the interests Of the South and
West, and have thrown the door wide
open for the fve-dollar stock hold
ers TO express their opinions, we at
the North shall probably get hit, as
by Gen. J. H. Martin, who needs to
blow off steam; we'll let him blow.

DAWSON PEOPLE ANXIOUS TO
WELCOME MIR. WATSON.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: I write to
say that we will have the largest
crowd here on the 18th, that has
been at Dawson in long time. I
want to suggest that you have one
or two men to look after subscrip-
lions; they certainly can be had.
With sincere good wishes, I am,

ANOTHER LITTLE PREACHER is
EXCETED
EXCITED,

Dear Mr. Watson: Rev. Fred Eden
a young Mercer man who is now pas
tor of the First Baptist Church at
Toccoa, Ca, had an appointment
at the Court House, here yesterday
afternoon. We all went out to hear
a soul feast for the Rev, Fred can
give US that when he leaves off his
clownish performances and billings
gate.
But we had no soul feast. He was
up in the air, hot air, because we
are letting the foreign Missionaries
"starve to DEATH" He said you are
a blashphemer, and that he did not
think it would be long till you would
be writing a Bible Of your own. He
said that your pastor was giving out
a statement that you had not con-
tributed to church expenses in seven
years. l have said this is lie. Now
I know no man of education and re-
fnement likes to be published to the
world his deeds Of charity and church
work, but it does seem TO me that
you are excusable for caying some
thing here.
He said he was ready to meet any
man on this subject, and wanted to
talk to you just one hour. I have
told his friends that if he would write
an article denouncng you and your
attitude on the Foreign Mission ques-
ton, and if you refused to publish
it, | would give him 500.
I will now make him another prop
osition: If he will write the article
above referred to, and will get the
Christian Index to publish your reply
I will give him $50. If he gets either
of these sums of money he is to have
the privilege of using it for his own
private good, or he may use it for
missions.
1t does seem to me to be most cow
ardly for these little preachers to run
around to the churches and other
places where they know there is no
reporter, no means of getting their
full speeches to you, and say their
say.
shall read what please and think
