LETTERS I'D THE EDITOR
Boys and Barrels.

MT. Editor: Do you like boys? I hope you do, for I do very much, and | wish l had a dozen of them.
 week or more ago I read about six little boys brought into court for taking barrels. and l was very sorry to read of it; hope it will not happen again
 1 would propose to the boys Mr. Editor, that they start in Oct. 18th and begin saving barrels. But first of all they must form themselves either into companies of gangs then there must 5a captains or leaders. whichever they may choose to be called; must all meet and decide by what way shall the diff ferent leaders of the boys be known, by name. letter or numbers; then have some little cards typewriter (some- body with typewriter will help out) and leave one at every house in the city. so that anyone having barrel or box will save one for you. Have your cards out so as to be ready to commence to collect. Oct. 18th.
 Do you not think this a good plan, MT Editor or have you something better? If so. please let us hear from you. for we do not want our little boys in the courthouse for just a barrel they might grow to like the novelty of it.
 When the cards are all out, then the boys must also remember what houses they went to. by keeping a little book Of remembrance. so as not to call at the same place twice unless told to do so by the one who gives the. barrel.
 Then when any barrels are brought in. the ones bringing them in should tell where they got the barrels, so that others of the same party will not go 10 the same house and so make nuiS- ance of themselves.
 Look sharp. boys, and let us see what we can do toward Thanksgiving cele- bration.
 All the world loves a lover therefore they must love our boysi

WHY NOT INCLUDED.

The selectmen present a good tech nical reason for not regularly placing the Otis library and the Academy tui- ton appropriations in the regular list If estimates. The law clearly states what shall be included and the special needs were not thought of when the law was enacted.
 This puts 1t up to the electors as a special matter which it is their bust ne>s % have continuous care of, and which can only be had by persistence and activity. Both are a direct help t7 every voter who has children in school. and also Of protective value to every taxpayer who sees in better cit izenship better order and better guaranty Of every right the citizen en- joys.

THE OUTLOOK FOR THE DEMoc
 RACX.

It has been many years since har- mony has prevailed in the democratic party. and the outlook for 1912 is not promising. The Providence Journal in looking over the field. says:
 Too little stress. it may be, has been laid upon the possibility Of a deadlock in the next democratic na- tional convention. The party prece- dent requires a candidate to obtain two thirds vote: and as both Govern or Harmon and Governor Wilson have many friends it is conceivable that on the first ballot they might receive ap- proximately equal support. If the division should be prolonged through several ballots. serious discussion of compromise candidates would of course begin. Speaker Clark would naturally come into consideration and so might Governor Marshall. whose admirers declare that his candidacy is serious and not d mere blind, as has been intimated, for the Harmon crusade. Governor Marshall possesses some points of strength and apparently he can have the Indiana delegation if he desires it. This means thirty votes to start with. Other candidates men toned as dark horses are Governor Foss and former Governor Folk"

There are several tin cans scatt- tered about in your yard,' said the intellectual hobo to the prominent cit izen. They are a great disfigure- ment and should be removed. I am always looking around for opportuni- ties to engage in honest toll and I'll carry those cans back to the alley for a dollar an hour"
 Why, you loafer, any boy could carry those cans away in five minutes and would do it for nickel"
 Yes, and I suppose you are so lost to the higher instincts" said the in- tellectual hobo. mournfully, that you would give this job to the first irre- sponsible boys that came along, thus violating the child labor law in spirit, if not in the letter Such men as you do more to humiliate the sacred cause of labor than all the demagogues on the Chautauqua circuit. Why should boys be called in to perform tasks which are desired by full- grown men. men who totter under their load of cares and responsibilities, men who pay taxes, and bear the heat and bur den of the day? l can imagine noth- ing more contemptible than your prop osition to have a boy carry those cans out of your yard.
 "A boy has no conception of the dignity of the cause of labor. If he wants It cents to buy some rnfecfdck- CTS or fishhooks he will do an unrea- soma ble amount of work to get that 10 cents. He never gives thought to the woes and grievances of the adult unemployed, who have wives and children to support and who must pay the dog tax or, the poll tax or some other idiotic tax. Every time a boy accepts a situation carrying cans into the alley he insults the cause of labor and takes the bread out of the mouths of deserving men. And the man who will give employment to a boy when there is a careworn man looking for work in the neighborhood is recreant to his trust, so to speak"
 You chump, if you want job, why don't you offer to do some work for what it's worth? I'll give you 10 cents to carry that truck out of the yard"

Follow ing right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child. and distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than happy and healthy mother of chil- dren, and indeed child birth under right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. They have ample time in which to prepare, but they, for the most part, trust to chance and pay the penalty.
 In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes Wom e n normal, healthy, and strong.

Editor Jeffersonians: You have

widely spread in SO short a time This
has been due to your appreciation of
it's value and your help. All honor
and praise to you now, and may sub
stantial reward be progressively

the Western railroads by stopping the
outgo of our people and bringing
them back to the South, "back home'
All, that word, Home. In all our
wanderings or travel we always feel
the. heart-tug Of it. 1t is both hope
and promise Of peace and happiness.
Other "calls" may fire the magma
ton, but the Back Home" call of
the South is irresistible.
In eight months time you have
thrilled thousands of our absent coun-
trymen with new love and longing
for the fair and happy South. You
have inspired our people to exert
themselves towards bringing their
own friends and kinsmen 'back

A CHEERING LETTER FROM A
FRIEND

Dear Mr.. Watson: AS I am a
reader of The Jeff and | believe in
the things you are advocating, I want
to tell you little thing that happen
ed at church last Saturday.
We had member up for none-at-
tendance and one of the deacons,
who was on the committee to see this
brother, got up and said the brother
had been reading some literature
that is being published by one who is
doing more harm than any man liV-
ing; one of the meanest men living;
that he thought, was what caused
the brother to quit the church. [
didn't rise and speak then, for I knew
the brother didn't like you, but when
meeting broke I went to him and
asked him if he read your papers. He
said he did not. I said to him, 81
thought SO from the remarks you
made" He said you were all the
time turning from one party to an
other. | said | had been reading af-
ter you for several years, had heard
you speak three times, and you are
today for the same thing you were
for the Vrst time I heard you speak,
which was in Thomasville, twelve or
fifteen years ago. Some said you
were for Hoke Smith once, and now
against him. I voted for Hoke
Smith once, and if God will forgive
me for that, [ will never again. 1t is
the principle we should vote for, not
the party. But it is as you said once,
some would vote a Democratic ticket
if it had a dead dog on it. Well, Mr..
Watson, you will be abused as long
as you are against the corrupt things
of this world, but you are toughened
to it, and I thank God today for CIV
ing you the knowledge and nerve to
fight it. Some day you will be hon.
ored for what you are abused for
today. I hope you will live to receive
the honor for your labor and may
your enemies be convinced and
come like men and acknowledge their
wrongs Your friend,

ANSWER TO THE QUERY OF A

member, Evan Every Cor Avery C

Van Avery was, the last 1 knew, in
Washington, D. c., as editorial CORE
spondent for the paper. That was, I
think, in 1869. Is not your date,
1879, an error of ten years? l, too,
am interested to know what became

WHAT REALLY HARMED THE
UNION CITY FARMERS UNION.

Dear Sir: While you were in Flor
ida you wrote me you would make a
speech to the Farmers Union and
business men of Taliaferro County, in
defense of the charges made against
you by some of them; you were, they
said, the cause of so many members
of the Union becoming dissatisfied
with the Union and leaving it. I
have denied this, and some of our
members are anxious to hear some
thing from you along that line. We
would like to have you come here
some Saturday and make a speech; it
would suit the boys here all right.

are in the right. w. E. MOORE.

FROM ONE INTERESTED In "THE
BATTLE FOR TRUTH"

FROM ONE INTERESTED IN ''THE
BATTLE FOR TRUTH"
Dear Sir: Will you allow an
other to add his humble views and
opinion and, yes, knowledge, too, to
your strong and courageous fight for
Truth? I am emboldened to ex-
claim in the language of Shakes
pear, Lay on McDuff," but only
the sentiment appeals to me, not the
language. In the battle for Truth
and righteousness, compromise has
no part, and a true patriot, and sin
cere Christian will never resort to
compromise. Compromise! God save
us from it in any form! One to be
honest must be radical. [ believe in
a radical republican government, a
radical Christianity, in which COM
promise has no part. Compromise
is the little 1eaven" chat leaveneth
the whole lump" There can be no
compromise between Catholicism and
true professionalism, without the last
named becoming tainted. SO there
can be no compromise between true
democracy and aristocracy, without
little lowering of the first named.
You are right, Mr.. Watson, and you
must keep up the fight on all lines.
Our country is now in a great meas
ure controlled by "papa," the pope,
through his henchmen, the bachelor
priesthood and | do not believe we
have had president in the white
house since Cleveland's first election
that was not put there by the Catho-
lie vote combined with others. AS
the ''Burchard" speech during
Clevelands first campaign of ''The
democratic party is the party Of
rum, Romanism, and rebellion" car
ried him into the White House chair
by turning the pope's tools against
Blaine, so on down to Taft and Bry-
ans campaign, the charge that Taft
favored the Catholics in the Philip
pines put him there also, and l do
not fear to state it as my humble
opinion that it will be impossible to
elect another president to Office
without the Catholic vote. I read
Mrs. r. A. Myers article in last
weeks Jeff and 1 know her personal
ly, and she is close student of the
subject she writes Of. l agree with
her as far as she has gone in said
article, but much can be said also
on some of the affiliations of others,
such as joining secret societies. Free
Masonry, ETC., all of which is al
together contrary to Holy Writ. The
trend of the times is toward evil
and worldliness in high ("heaven-
ly') places. 1t is popular now to
be a member of some secret order,
or of some denomination, but let
some one attempt to teach or preach
the truth as our Lord taught, and
he or she is ostracised socially, or
maybe hooted and mobbed. Com
promise 50 the order of the times
and the majority of the so-called
ministers do not seem to know what
salvation really means, and seem
to have sold their birthright to
heaven for a very small mess of
popularity, which is worth even less
than Esau's ''mess of pottage." You,
sir, will do the cause of God and His
Christ great service if you con-
tinue to teach as fearlessly as you
have begun, even though you may
