LETTERS FROW THE PEOPLE
ARE GETTING GALL
OUT OF FIX"

Dear Sir: Your exposure of the
doings of the foreign missionaries
and the mission boards is getting the
preachers all out of fix in this part
of the country. Some OF them are
abusing you in a very unchristian-
like manner. Our circuit rider
preached sermon here one Sunday
in May, and said this of you: That
you were scattering little pamph-
let opposing foreign missions, and
that you were only broken down
politician. This preacher was T. F.
Maxedon Of the Methodist Church,
South.
He said he denied everything you
ever said, and without fear Of con-
tradiction, and cit would be better
if Watson had milestone tied to
his neck and was sunk to the bottom
Of the ocean," and that he would
not wonder if something like that
was done. AS l had read your for
eign mission book and knew you
were being misrepresented, | spoke
to the brother at the end of the
service and asked him if he ever
read your pamphlet on foreign mis-
sions. He said he had, from start
TO HnlSh, ana That 1t was untrue.
1t is all right for you to expose
Roman Catholicism, as the preachers
themselves are afraid to do it, it is
all right for you to punch the Nor
mons, the preachers won't do that;
it is all right for you to give Chris
tian Science fits, but when you begin
monkeying with foreign missions and
the little playhouse Of the mission
aries, they set up howl, and it is
some Of the little, poorly paid preach
ers who are acting as collecting
agents for the foreign mission work
who howl loudest.
Yours truly,

HERE'S A PROTESTANT PREACH
ER Who ISN'T AFRAID TO
SPEAK OUT.

Hon. Thos E. Watson
Dear Sir AM Brother: I have just
finished reading the first page of your
Weekly JeffersoniaH of the 18th.
1t is high time for the Protestants
TO SPEAK out
AS you know have not agreed with
you in your criticism Of our Foreign
Missions, but that fact does not pre-
vent my seeing, and with gratitude,
acknowledge the great service you are
rendering to the cause Of truth and
righteousness in other ways.
I should despise myself if / caught
myself in the least possible measure
rejoicing at the attempted boycott
on the part of the Roman Catholics,
because Of your criticism on our Mis-
sion methods and of our leading
brethren The truth is as testified
to, by returned missionaries, some Of
the methods are open to criticism, to
say the very least that can be said,
it is the enemy to soul liberty, to re-
Hgious and civil freedom, who would
resort to force to quell an argument
he cannot confute, and crush an an
tagonist he cannot fairly and honor
ably meet.
When they begin to persecute you,
then my blood boils; and in resisting
such enemies under whatever name,
you may count on every ounce Of my
personality and power.
What if in the providence Of the
infinite and almighty God, The jeff
ersonians shall prove to be the test
of those who really at heart love the
truth.
He has read history to no purpose
who has not seen that the Roman
Catholic Church is sworn to war ever
lasting against civil and religious
freedom.
May God bless and keep and guide
you. Yours cordially.

FROM THE SHADOW OF Ply
MOUTH ROCK
Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Sir: I have become greatly
interested in your writings which I
had not read until recently. Your
Socialist writings captured me, as I
have been in close contact with those
fanatics in Boston in Paine Hall, and
on Boston Commons, where my Cos
pei preaching has had their antag-
onism. | am in love with the reck-
less independence and honesty [ see
in you SO rare among politicians in
these days Of capitalism and CONNER
cialism in both religion and politics.
We may not see alike in regard to
the spiritual church of Christ, of
which you will find report on page
sol, second vol. of the U. S. census.
but the honest ring, sound sense and
ability of your writings strike me
almost as miracle in the modern
politics of this world. | trust YOU
will pardon me for the free use [
have made of your writings in the
Magazine of July 1910, in my Stumb-
lingstone. My advertising of your
valuable literature may compensate
perhaps my free use of your writings.
as you will find in my little paper.
which | enclose with this letter.
Most cordially your friend and
brother in the truth.

MIR. WATSON WOULD CONSIDER
1T HIS DUTY TO SERVE If THE
PEOPLE ELECTED HIM.

Dear Sir: 1t is rumored here at
the meeting at Thomson, June 18th,
the people will call on you to enter
the race for the U. S. Senate. They
are already calling on you to enter
the race for the U. S. Senate by
means Of the straw vote in the JEFF
fersonian.
Now, what we want to know is
Is there any way by which we can
induce you to become a candidate.
Suppose the people were to elect
you, would you serve? These ques-
lions are being asked and an answer
from you will be appreciated by
many Of your friends. Please let me
hear from you. We want you in the
senate. l believe it would be no
trouble to elect you. Hoping you
are well. Your friend.

AS TO SPECIAL RATES TO THOM-
SON ON THE FOURTH.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: I have in
terested myself in the matter of
transportation from Atlanta to Thorn
son and return for the 4th of July
meeting, but we have been unable to
secure any kind of reduced rates from
the Georgia Railroad. I saw the
Div. Passenger Agent with a view of
chartering train for that date, but
he stated that the authorities of the
road had already declined a similar
request from Mr.. T. J. Bond Of Stock
bridge, Ga. [ then endeavOred to get
a party rate for one or two hundred
or more from Atlanta to Thomson
and return on the regular train, but
the Div. Passenger Agent said that it
was aginst the policy of the Georgia
Railroad to grant party rates. That
they refuse party rates to Theatrical
troupes and other people travelling in
large numbers.
| canot complain, of course, to this
rule in refusing to run special trains
or to the granting Of party rates, pro-
Vlded the rule is universally adhered
to by the Railroad Company. [ have
had the impression that excursion
trains have been run over the Geor-
gia r. R. within the last few years.
Inc same agent stated TO me that
no reduced rates on account of it be-
ing the 4th Of July would be granted
by his road. That fiat rate of ~
cents per mile each way would be
charged.
1t you can assist in any way in Sc
curing better rates from Atlanta to
Thomson and return on the 4th of
July, | will thank you to act at once
as we have many friends over the
State who wish to be present on that
occasion and who will pass through
Atlanta in going and coming. Quite
number have spoken to me about
the mater and [ had expected to Sc
cure reasonable rate on the oc-
easion, and give the notice TO all in
terested. Very truly yours,
J. J. BARGE.

WANTS TO REDUCE THE STATES
EXPENSES

Dear Sir: AS warm admirer of
yours, | want to tell you how in
sympathy | am with many of the
reforms you are trying to bring
about. l am heartily in favor of
electing all officers by popular vote,
from bailiff to president. l am in
favor Of abolishing a number of Of
ices and consolidating a number of
others, placing all on a salary when
practicable, thus reducing the ex-
penses Of the state and doing away
with, in part, the scramble for of
fee which we have every year or
two. | am satisfied you are gain
ing ground every day in your battle
for the right, and l pray the good
Lord will prosper you.

corning Hoke Smith, in Georgia, and
Ham Patterson in Tennessee. Please

Dear Sir: l have just read your
editorial on 1--WE Need a National

on the subject of protecting our
liberties against the encroachments
Of the papal hierarchy. Such have
been my convictions and have in

to stand by me in this locality. [

cisive protest against the bold ag-

the public platform, just as we dis
cuss other issues pertaining to our

and arouse their latent patriotic
fires; we must meet face to face, as
brave men, who know their rights.
The people need much instruction
concerning the deep cunning and
daring purposes Of the Roman Catho-

ignorant about these things If they

she proposes doing in this country,
they would burn with patriotic zeal
