AN AFFECTIONATE LETTER OF
GOOD WILL.

Dear Brother Watson: 1t is with
sadness and regret that | have to
write you that l will be unable to
be with you, at the opening o. the
New Home of our JefferSOnians. L
had thought that [ would make a
Herculean effort to be therein fact
my good wife wanted me to go, and
in fact would like to have come
with me. But, sickness in my sons
family, pressure of patients, and
other affairs too Vulnerable to
mention, prevents my coming. l
wish | could come and bring ten
thousand dollars to put into the
grand work in which you are en-
gagged, and also establish us a daily
paper under your direction and man
agement, so that we could answer
the combined powers daily, of dark
ness and robbery.
My earnest prayers, benedictiOns
and blessings upon you and yours,
and all of the brethren who may
gather with you, and then after you
shall have finished your grand mis-
sion which you are now performing,
may God in His infinite wisdom and
goodness say-well done thou good
and faithful servant, tbs enough, come
up higher, enter thou into the joys
of thy Lord.

WHAT DIR. FOX KNEW OF HOKE'S
PRIVATE RTJSJNESS

Hon. T. 3. Watson: Dear Sir, see
ing your reference to Dr. Fox in The
Jeff, l thought l would tell you
what I heard Hon. B. F. Hill say
about him in connection with the
Vandiver woman. He said that DR..
Fox said to him and to another man,
whose name | do not recall, that it
cost HOke Smith six thousand doll
ars to get rid of her. Hill was one
OF our representatives at the time,
and is the man we got to introduce
you when you spoke here last. l
wrote you some day since about an
other matter, and you may not care
for this. l hope you do not think
me too Jealous in this matter.
Respectfully A FRIEND

POND ACTED AS FANG FOR
SNAKE SEEIY.

Dear Bro: AS I have read F. S.
Seely's foolish confession in the Geor-
glan of the 18th, I want to say that
money will make a crank out of
man like F. S. Seely, but it takes
man with the right sort Of a handle,
like Mr.. Watson, to make the rank
turn. If Seely is a snake as Hoke
termed him to be, L guess when he
reads The Jeff it makes him run his
tangs down to Thomson to get a
bite, and when he gets mouth full,
he draws it back to Atlanta, before
he chews it. | guess MR.. POND IS
THE FANG. If Mr. Watson turns
that crank any faster he will break
1T Off and that will be the last of
Seely.
Your friend.

AN EIGHTY YEAR JEFF SORRY
HE COULDN'T COME.

Dear Sir:-I received your kind
request to come on the 10Th inst. to
the new home of The Jeffs for which
you have my sincere regards. Sorry
l can't accept the invitation, as there
in nothing l would enjoy more. On
account of age as I am in my 80th
year, also very dull of hearing, l
don't think it would be prudent for
me to come. | hope your meeting
will prove a success. [ have thought
for a long time l would write you
that my grand mother was a Dur
ham, and named my father John
Durham after her people. But,
knowing you were very busy man,
I have not written, Wishing you
much success, remain your sincere
well-wisher, and will do all I can
in behalf of your publications, so I
remain yours for the true Jeffer-
sOnian principles.

work and aid you all 1 can, every
way l can. hope the success of
your two Jeffs will be greater each
succeeding year until they cover our
United States entirely, and the prin-
ciples you advocate, will reign SUI
preme. Wishing you and your family
good health and a prosperous New
Year, I beg to remain.

A LETTER OF GOOD WISHES FOR

My Dear Mr.. Wason: I regret

Dear Friend:-I took Hoke Smith
by the hand when he was in Dawson

him, he said to me, "You have my

Gus charges against you, is punished,

Pay for Trees.

The New York courts have just dc
cided case brought by resident OF
Long Island City. who demanded $500
for the destruction OF some trees on
his land by a construction company
The jury returned a verdict for the
full $500. but the justice presiding
trebled the damages, as the New York
laws allowed him to do. The case was
taken up to the appellate court, which
has just decided. upholding the action
of the trial Judge. The verdict. then.
stands for 81, 500 instead OF $500. The
value OF the wood In the trees is not
the value OF the growing trees A tree
takes the best part OF a century TO
come into maturity In many cases.
The mere value Of the wood cannot
replace the tree. A stack of lumber
containing the same amount of cubic
feet Is as nothing compared with the
beautiful foliage. the grateful shade.
the graceful contour in the landscape.
The next generation will probably
consider that for a handsome tree on
residential street. a venerable oak
or elm. the value should be ten times
the price of the wood II contains.

DISCUSSES
QUESTIONS ABOUT
CHURCH IN J.. S.
His Holiness Improved Enough
to Hold Conference on
Important Topics.

ROME, Aug. 14.-The physicians
found Pope Plus y. today little changed
from Yesterday. when a slow but grad
ual improvement was perceptible. AS
always In the morning his temperature
was slightly below that of the night,
during which it was 98.7. The weather
was cooler today. and this had q good
effect upon the patient, who was more
cheerful.
After seeing Cardinal Merry del Val,
the papeI secretary Of state, and Mon
signor Bisletti, majordon1o of the Vati-
can, the Pope asked for Cardinal de
Lai. secretary of the Consistoral con-
gregation. with, whom he wished to dis
cuss several questions relating TO the
church in America.
The reports from the United states
that Archbishop James Edward Quig-
ley, of Chicago. has been elevate to
the cardinalate are stated to be wholly
unfounded. The Pope, it is asserted,
has not even considered holding a con-
sistory for such a purpose.
Although there are twenty-five va
cancies in the cardinalate it Is believed
that no American will receive a red
hat. the pontiff adherIng to his opinion
that that county should have not more
than one cardinal during the life OF
Cardinal Gibbons.
