HERE'S ANOTHER JOB FOR HOKE
Temple, Ga.

My Dear Sir: Please give me
space in the little weekly Jeff to
notify my friends throughout this
section that | am going to resign the
office of justice Of the peace in the
791 Dist. G. NJ, Mitchell county, Ca,
in order that the Legislature may
elect the Hon. Hoke Smith to fill the
vacancy. | very much regret to do
this on account Of my friends all
over this section, but after reading
today's papers | have fully made up
my mind that | can no longer hold
the Office when such a great and hon
orable man as he is, is so keen to
hold all the Offices in the gift Of the
people of the state. Mr.. Watson,
please advise me by mail at once
where | could legally appoint Hon.
Hoke Smith special constable fer nay
district here or not. We have only
one here and the law plainly says we
are entitled to two. Of course he
does not reside in our district. but
he is SO desperately keen to hold all
kinds Of Offices at the same time that
/ am satisfied that he would arrange
the matter at once. SO he could and
would serve us at once.
Your friend,
w. J. WINGATE
p. S.-Will hold my Office long
enough to find out whether / can ap-
point him constable or not, and then
resign. Yours truly,

AN OLD VET WHO IS LOOKING
FOR MIRACLES.

Dear Friend and Brother: I am an
old friend of the SOS and an old one
eyed soldier Of the Sos that battled
for Southern rights. Am now sew
enty-two years old, but still learn
something new once in a while. I
never knew that man could be
governor and senator at one and the
same time before. Alas! how ignor-
ant l have been these many years.
I have recently learned that Hoke
Smith, "the most beautifullest, the
most mightiest, the most brainiest,"
is both governor of Georgia and
United States senator.
I am now looking for the revolu-
tions of the earth to be reversed,
water to run up hill, fire to cease to
burn, and free trade to be establish
ed, all public utilities to be operated
by the government, the South made
rich and the people to bow down in
humble submission to his mighty
power.
He went all over the country
speaking; came to our little town
and said he was going to disfranchise
the negro and was going to see how
well he would take care of the old
SOIQlerS, ana the HfSC Jn1ng ne ala
in that line was to cut their pen
sions up into quarterly payments. I
reckon he thought sixty dollars was
such big sum they would be too
ignorant to use so much money at
once. Oh, be praised! He was go
ing to do many other minor and
greater things with the railroads
1t made my head swim and my heart
jump for JOY. "But blessed is he
that expects nothing for he shall not
be disappointed.
l am of course expecting the U.
S. Senate will bow in submission
when they see the giant of intellect
from Georgia arrive, and will sur
render all his demands at once, see
ing SO great power in one man.
We will certainly get reciprocity

A GOOD SUGGESTION FOR THE
SCHOOLS,

Ny Dear Sir: In your effort to get
free school books, in Georgia, | wish
you would also adjust the system"
so that no child will be forced to buy
and study other language than Eng
fish; nor mathematics beyond arith-
metic.
At this place. and I think every
where) all children. poor children
from the country, not excepted, are
forced to buy Latin. algebra, geome-
try ETC., when certain grades are
reached and before English and
arithmetic are mastered. They are
not allowed in school if they do not.
Some poor children who are not
able to buy useless books, and who
have but few days in school at best,
quit school,; others waste their school
days with all the books, mostly Latin
and higher mathematics, and never
master anything-not even English
Or arithmetic. Nineteen-twentieths
of our school children who never
need Latin, ETC., nor never learn Eng
lish and arithmetic because of it, are
forced to buy and study it to accom-
modate the other one-twentieth. No
requirement should be imposed be-
yond English language nor arithme-
tic, and the public funds should be
confined to this class, and if there
were enough children who preferred
Latin, etc, to authorize their class,
it should be allowed but not required.
think the country people would vote
this into effect if given a chance.

ONE MAN POWER NOW-BUT A
CHANGE IN THE FUTURE.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Am enclosing a
clipping from brownsville Times En-
terprise. Your comment on same
through The Jeffersonian will be ap-
preciated. You ought to be the hap
piest man in Georgia today. Your
Fourth of July was such a grand sue
cess, and the many good things writ
ten and said of you is enough to make
any man feel proud of SO many richly
thought, justly deserved, compli-
ments. God knows l believe you are
the grandest man in the State or
ever has been, for the common peo-
pie. And should you live to see a
few more years, I believe everything
is coming your way.
We now have a one man power COM
plete, in the grand Old State, but [
hope and believe there will be
grand change in the near future.
A majority of our legislators have
seen fit by their choice to elect man
to the United States Senate that is
disgrace to the once grand old State.
In my opinion he vii be worth more
to the Republican party than any
other four men they could have elect
ed. Why is it the republicans don't
try to elect a Republican in Georgia,
to Congress? 1t is because the So
called Democrats we send up there
can be too much more advantage than
any Republican they could be in the
State. Wish l was able to express my
feeling but can't write; my rheuma-
tism in the hand is too bad. Hoping
you may live long enough to see your
most wonderful efforts in force,
for the betterment of the common
people. Your ardent friend and adj
mirer j. M. SIMMONS.
