where. I'd like to see a game in which
there isn't SO much kicking on the second
down and in which the rules don't play
your defense for you as they do now"
Shevln's suggestions for changes are
these: First. keep the 10 yards and have
four downs instead of three; second, have
the four backs on the defense 10 yards
behind the scrlmmage line when the ball
is put in play. Those are the only things
needed" he says.

PLAYER:

Another peculiar feature of the case IS, that
though they have been frequently accosted
and once shot at, nobody has heard the sound
of either voice. Another remarkable thing IS,
that they seem to be perfectly familiar with
my property and my habits.
They know the room in which l sleep and
that in which I work; the private road on
which, for years and years, l have taken my
afternoon walk; and the little gate through
which habitually enter upon the old flower
garden, and when visiting the house OF my
daughter.
The man who can consider the naked facts
as herein stated, and then come to my
ground, and study the tracks that lie upon it,
will not continue to talk of my nervousness"
and midnight dreaming. For the sake of my
family, my friends, and my country, would
to God that those tracks we're not out there in
my grounds and fields. Those persistently
daring assassins are not very far off, nor have
they abandoned their murderous purpose 1t
the same merciful Providence does not con-
tinue to throw it's shield over me, you may
never see in this paper another editorial Of
mine.
Being profoundly impressed by the gravity
of the situation, I hereby offer reward of
$4,000 for the capture or surrender OF those
two men. If they will make full confess
sion, stating who sent them here and what
for, l will not only protect them from legal
prosecution, but will give each one of them
thousand dollars

The RegisteredNegrO Has the Legal
Right TO Vote i'm the Primary
Held Under the New Law

FOrtsOn Ca. Jan. "a, 1911.
The Jefersonan, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Mr.. Watson am enclosing you a copy of
seey Georgian of recent date with of subscriber
and date of his expiration to I noticed in The
Jeff where he Seely) had been sending his paper two
years after expiration so you see this one is going
four years.
Mr.. Watson, if you will spare few moments of
your valuable time, would like for you to the
following questions for me:
~ What reform measures is Hoke Smith directly
responsible for?
(2) Hoke Smith then claims that he (Hoke) framed
the disfranchisement bill himself Is that true?
If you fit, please through The Jeff.
Yours truly, A WATSON MAN.
% None. He served in the Cabinet as
Secretary of the Interior and got his name
connected with some ugl y stories about land
deals and oil leases. His name is mentioned
in connection with the Greene and Gaynor
frauds, for which Greene and Gaynor are in
the penitentiary.
~ The Disfranchisement law is we'll
named. Under it, more than 10000 white men
have lost their right to vote, and more than
10000 negroes have registered and gained the
right to cote. They can vote in every election
held under that internal law. It is not a
white Primary" such as Hoke Smith prom
ised me to have passed. Under that new cleo
tlons-law 10000 negroes will be voting, in
less than four years, if we don't repeal that
outrageous statute.
# the H0ke SMITH men qOaqat to claim the
credit for bringing the negro back into politics
and GIVING HIM THE BALANCE OF
POWER, they are aoezc0noe to 1t.
My controlling reason for remaining in the
fight of 1906 after Pope Brown had been
juggled and tricked out of the running, was
the pledges made to me on this very subject
[ thought it best for both races, to put gov-
e1nauent IN the hands of the whites, exclus-
1yely. But, by the operation of the new law,
Cutfee has already scooped the trump-card
As soon as that fact pierces has thick skull.
yowW see him play 1t, AND WIN THE
GAME!
Thanks, to Hoke Smith.
