DELIGHTED THEIR AUDIENCE.

The large audience that filled the
hall at Ballston last night to witness
the performance given by the Ideal
Dramatic Company under the auspices
OF the Knights Of Pythias, gave evil
denle OF their appreciation by con-
tinuous applause throughout the per-
formance. Each member OF the COM
pany came in for their share of the
honors. Prof. F. L. Pitts furnished
the music, and the Ideal Mandolin
Club, part of the organization, render.
ed several selections. Prof. Harvey
Curtis, ventriloquist and magician, de-
lighted the audience with his feats of
magic. Miss Annie Lepley, the soubrette
OF the company. won for herself an
enviable reputation in black face mono
logue. The humorous little comedy,
How He Popped the Question, Tin the
hands Of Miss Lepley andA. D. Deeton.
kept the audience in humorous mood
throughout the play. One Of the fea.
lures OF the entertainment was a beau
tiful scene from the drama Of lingo
mar" in which Mrs. Eleanor Newton
Buckler appeared as "Par.henia" and
Mr.. Ernest R. Boyer as 'Ingomar,"
assisted by E. ]. Fleming, A. J..
Butcher and A. D. Deeton. Mrs.
Buckler is possessed OF wonderful dra-
matte ability, and is we'll known to the
people of Alexandria, she having ap-
peared here on many occasions with
Mr.. Boyer. Mrs. Buckler is seen at
her best as Parthenia. The Ideal

AssAILANT STILL AT LARGE.

Late yesterday afternoon blood
hounds from the State Penitentiary, in
charge of Guard James Woodland, and
two bloodhouEds from Heurico county,

county, which occurred late Tuesday
afternoon as the girl was driving along
a road in deeplywooded section be-
tween North and Foster postoffices,
noar the Gloucester county line.
The girl, who is pretty and popular,
was grabbed by a young man and
dragged into the woods, where she was
choked almost insensible. The as.
saulter almost denuded her, but pas
sing vehicle frightened the man, who
fled without carrying out bis latent.
The young woman vas found by
frieuds. She gave good description
OF her assailant, whose offense, under
the laws of Virginia, is capital one.
Miss Miller described the assaulter
as young man, roughly dressed, fully
six feet tall, with weeks growth Of
beard. He wore a dark slouch hat.
1t is believed he is tramp. Miss
Miller says she will be able to identify
him. The man demanded money from
the girl, aud when she refused he struck
her 4 blow and then dragged her into
the woods, choking her and threatened
her with q knife.
At $50 O'Clock last night the sup
posed assailant was chased into what is
known as Tabb Woods. which contains
about 400 acres of dense woodland.

FROM ONE IN NEED.

Dear Mr.. Lanier and Brotherhood 1t again
becomes my glad duty and privilege to write you
letter of profound thanks for your loving kind
ness in sending me the $500 some days ago. 1t
was a great help to and appreciated more
than words can tell. wish l could tell you how
much I appreciate your kindness to me, well
as all else being done by the S. S. B. I'm sure
God will bless and reward each of you. And
all men, and ladies too, possessing spark of the
great white principle Of right in their composition,
regardless of beliefs, going to give you
dying honor for championing the neglected cause
OF the widow, the orphan, the sick and helpless.
The preachers bring great pressure to bear on
the importance of the widows mite about collec-
ton time, but I don't believe any conscientious
preacher will accept anything from poor widow,
no matter how willing she is to give. AS l guess
you are busy, will close for this time. Again
thanking you most heartily for kindness shown to
one in extreme need, l am sincerely and CRATE
fully yours, JOHN H. KEATON, Winston, Ga. Rt

AN URGENT CASE.

Dear S. S. B.: I have in mind poor widows
daughter who has been unable to work ever since
Christmas and has been in the bed for four
five months She is suffering for something to
eat and more attention. Her mother is getting
old and walks almost three miles to town two
and three times week trying to get something
to eat. They are too poor to have doctor, and
have been informed that they have had TO stop
buying patent medicine account Of being
able. There isn't any chance for her to live many
more days. and wouldn't it be disgrace to old
Georgia for her to die hungry and needing at
tention, when thousands of dollars sent to
foreign lands every year? Will not someone help
her? She needs help. Money anything that
be used will be accepted. Send the offering
to my address and it will be given her as soon

note that some of the shut-ins say that the people
around them have sympathy for them any
longer Not so with me-. Listen I went to
Sunday School Rally at Nicholson last Saturday,
July LIST, and enjoyed it very much. Just before
dinner Hon. B. H. Collier sold quilt for the
ladies Of the church to the highest bidder, who
was Dr. w. B. Hardman of Commerce, Ga, for
$25.00 also $1,000 of the auctioneer's money. At
dinner Mr.. Collier and DR.. Hardman said they
would give the money to the church, and resell
the quilt, and give me the money. The amount
that each one bid placed in hat held by me-
Uncle Jack Sailors bought the quilt for $500
all the bids amounted to $1416, which was given
to me and will go toward my education Many
thanks. School will start in few days. Good

A Doctors Opinion on
Vaccination

Dear Sir: Permit me to thank you
for your splendid article in the cur
rent Jeffersonian, "The Vaccination
Craze" This is we'll worth while III
view of the frightful conditions
which the American Medical Associa-
ton has already foisted upon the
people, and which they are trying
more and more to elaborate so that
they shall have an absolute mono
poly of all matters medical.
1 am sending you under separate
cover, pamphlets which the National
League for Medical Freedom has is
sued, and bespeak for them your
careful attention, and l think it
would be well worth while if you
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-07-20

would reproduce the leaflets enclos-
ed herewith in your columns as con-
Venient.
A very cursory examination of the
subject will show that the American
Medical Association is determined to
complete the work it has been ac-
lively engaged in for more than 20
years past, to secure for itself gov
eminent recognition, in order that it
may be enabled to obtain millions
upon millions of the peoples money
for it's own use, and if they are sue
cessful it will make the famous
"Pension Graft" look like the con-
ventional Thirty-cents.
This is not the worst part, how
ever. If successful, it will be i'm
possible for any individual to select
the physician of his choice, if that
choice should be outside of the A. M.

What High Priced Mules
And the Negroes Top Buggy
May Do for the Price
of Cotton

What a Georgia farmer of expert
ence says.
George W. Truitt, famous and vet
eran planter of Troup county, be-
lieves cotton is going to 20 cents a
pound next season, or the next, at
any rate. In characteristic COM
munication sent to the Atlanta Con-
stitution he outlines his reasons
scarcity of negro labor and peculiar
weather conditions, are the main
ones.
AS a review OF the rural and agri-
cultural situation from a man who
speaks by the book, his letter is of
value.
FARMERS FAR ADVANCED.
His letter is as follows:
Editor Constitution: The fact
that The Constitution keeps a CLOSE
eve on the farming situation in
Georgia leads me to believe you
would like to hear a word or two
from this neck of the woods.
The farmers hereaboutS are fur
Their advanced in their work, and
we have had more ground broken
than in many years January and
December were ideal working
months. Just enough rain to keep
the ground moist, and the folks left
on the farms took advantage of it.
THE merchants have sold negroes
more mules than any year since the
ciyiEwar, but that doesn't necessarily
mean cotton.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 16, 1911.

Il took trip over two counties a
few days ago to see what the farmers
are doing. | found a number OF
empty houses. People have gone to
towns, cities, factories, the railroad
and other public works. Building
factories in the south has carried
the white labor from the country,
and after they once leave the farm
they are never satisfied il any place
but the factories.
NEGRO NOT RELIABLE.
Every farmer is depending on the
darkey for labor, and the darkey
knows it. He knows if you don't do
to suit him, the merchant will fur
nish him with a $3.50 mule and a
new top buggy. That will certainly
mean 20 cent cotton within the
next two years anyhow.
''On my trip | met several farmers
who had four to six mules and not
a hand to pillow them. The mer-
chants had bought their hands
mules and let them work for them
selves
Now, to make my story short
no one has ever made mechanical
cotton chopper or picker to take the
place of the negro. A wet May and
June, when you can't get a mule in
the field, like 1909, makes me
think you can look for 2O-cent cot
ton soon.

Buckingham Out
 Of Yale Eight Veteran Oarsman Returns to New Haven and Eli Crew
 is Weakened

Gales Ferry, Conn, June 16.-There is little doubt that Buckingham, all- other veteran of the Yale varsity crew, is out of the game for the sea- son. He has left the rowing camp and it is not expected that he will return. He has been in poor condi- tion all the Spring and surgical oper- ations have been performed severn times for abscesses. He came here on the first varsity four, but had not rowed this week, and he has finally gone to New Haven for treatment. His departure leaves Captain Frost the only veteran of last years eight. Captain Frost has been in poor con- dition till this week, but has inn proved fast and is now much better.
 Another severe spin was given the Yale eights last evening. They were slammed down stream for ten miles. Starting together, the varsity and freshmen padded side by side at a 26 stroke from the crew quarters five miles to the drawbridge in New Lon don and back. The stroke was raised only at the end of the dash to the drawbridge, when it was lifted to 3i for a furlong. The crews stopped at the navy yard, halfway down the river, for a breathing spell.

 For Sunday the management plans to entertain the usual large crowds, there having been a marked increase in the number of Sunday visitors on the first days of the week that the island has been open There will be a State league baseball game at the usual hour. between Bridgeport and New Britain. The com bination ticket which is so rapidly increasing in fa- vor will be sold tomorrow and daily thereafter, although the single admis> sion ticket can be had as usual.
 The island is more attractive now than ever before and Captain Boyton, manager, is anticipating a very suc- cessful season. New attractions are being added from time to time and he is encouraged to go to even greater expense because of the liberal patron age Many organizations, such as the Bridgeport lodge of Elks, the Bridge port Central Verband, factory organi- cations and others, as well as a State Emancipation Day celebration. are be- ing arranged for the summer.
