THE EXPENSIVE STAFF AT THE
SOLDIERS HOME.

Dear Sir: From the best evidence
[ can secure, there are above five
hundred men at the Home. Yet
(yOur Word) there are on the pay
role, about twenty-five persons, over
one to every five inmates. This does
no t include Tip Harrison and his
platoon of trustees Whose expenses
must be paid from the time they
leave home until they return. DR..
Fox and the cost or rent of his office
not included. There should be a bill
passed by the legislature to kill Har-
risOn and nine of his platoon of trust
ees. Fox's Office should be abolished.
A superintendent of ordinary ability
could conduct, in connection with his
duties Of superintendent, Fox's du-
ties. There are"noW three men in the
office at the Home; superintendent,
bookkeeper and Miller (the main
boss) acting as lieutenant to the sup
erintendent. It seems that they, the
trustees can't do without Miller I
know from practical experience, that
the superintendent who should have
been a business man, could conduct
the entire business connected with
the Home. The Home is nothing less
than a political card for the Governor
to play at the eXpences of the old
vets. at the Home. Your fathers
slaves would have not felt cOmpli-
mented to have received the clothing
that Fox buys for the grand old
Soldiers of this Home. Another mill
dam shame. VERACIOUS.

AN APPRECIATED LETTER FROM
A TEXAS FRIEND.

Dear Sir: AS I hardly ever see, a
letter from Texas, I sometimes won
der if I am the only TeXian that reads
your noble paper. If I ever get able
and you are still living, I intend to
go and see your Publishing House,
and also you. think you are doing
more for the dOwn-trodden people
than any man living to-day. l hope
you will live to see the day when you
will drive such men as Hoke Smith
and Seely out of office. Any man
that has the gall that Smith has, has
got the gall for anything. And I
don't see how the intelligent people Of
Georgia can stand it, to be governed
by such a man. cast my first vote
for A. j. Streeter for president and
have been in the middle of the road
ever since. If we had a man like you
in every state, I can tell you there
would be something done.

A BAPTIST PREACHER WANTS TO
READ OF THE HIERARCHY.

Gentlemen: There has come to
my study a tract entitled, "The
Shame Of it, published by 'Internat-
ional Catholic Truth Society," which
is purported- to be IAN Appeal to the
Sense Of Decency of Southern Prot
estants"
The author seems to be greatly
incensed at all of us Southern Min
listers of the Gospel for not speaking
out against such an immoral lying
publication as "Watson's Magazine"
| suppose you have seen the tract.
It is all aimed at stirring telling
against your exposure of the Cath
Ollie Priests and I suppose is being
circulated by the thousands. Of you
have not seen it write me and | will
send it to you.)
I am located near the Belmont
Abbey and College (two of the larg
est in America l suppose.) And [
sometimes need some Of the facts
about Catholicism.
Please send me copy of the Mag
azine for the tract is a good ad
vertisement of it and L want to see
what it is like.
Yours for Purity and Religion.

AN ILLINOIS MAN THOUGHT GA.
WAS DRY.

Dear Sir: I would like an eXpla
nation or information on this: I
thought Georgia was a dry state, but
according to L. A. L. in The Jeff, it
was a Georgia citizen who went into
the P. o. and demanded a money Or
der for two gallons; this looks lit
tie suspicious.
1t surely tickles me to see how you
comb and take the kinks out of the
patriotic gents and deal them solar
plexus blows. Tom, it is not credit
to the people of Georgia, in my es
timation, to keep such crooks as
Brantley, Howard and "Calico' in
task. Where is their chivalry?

HOKE DOES WANT TO GO TO THE
SENATE

Dear Sir: We are writing you to
encourage you on in your work, Mr..
Watson, you have plenty of friends
here, and you have made them since
Seely began his attack on you, we
have found as you said that SeeIy is
hypocritical sneak, and Hoke Smith
to be a monumental Humbug. We
find that HOke does want the Senate
but if it is left to the people he will
never get it, and that he only got
the Governor-ship by fraud, people
that voted for him before don't want
him now, and wouldn't have him.
So continue with the work you have
undertaken, as the people are begin
ming to come over to you fast as they
can. My father and myself have
always been friends to you and al
ways will be VOTER.

HOW THE FARMER is BUNCOED.

My Dear Sir: There is matter
that I have thought for some time of
bringing to your attention. [ am
sure you do not understand the mat
ter freely, or you would have exposed
same before this. 1t is a matter that
effects the Southern farmer worse
than any other thing, because they
are the only ones affected. [ refer to
the pillow trust in the South. AS you
know, or can ascertain by investiga-
ton, all the pillow factories are con-
trolled by a firm in the city of
Atlanta, known as F. J. Stone and Co.
AS l understand, trust that is form
ed to controle prices, is a violation

HOW. sPARIxMAN OF FLORIDA
VOTED.

Editor Jeffersonian: Please eX-
plain what bill or motion was before
Congress or under consideration
when the vote was 235 to SO with SO
not voting, as given in your last
issue? Your list puts two of our
congressman, Clark and Mays as
voting in the affirmative, and Spark
man not voting l take it that this
was not the vote on the Fitzgerald
amendment in March 1909, when
Cannon could have been overthrow
or at least deprived of the OpporUu-
nifty to pack the committees, had
not some tWenty-three democrats de-
serted their party leader and joined
forces with the stand pat republic
cans, among whom | have always I'M
derstood was S. M. Sparkman Of this
district, and have so charged. I wish
you would tell me if [ am correct?
Ocala, Fla. DEMOCRAT.
Answer:
No Southern Congressman has a
worse record than Sparkman Of Flor
ida. Like Broussard and Estopinal,
he seems to be more of a Republican
in principles than a Democrat. My
recollection is that he voted for that
mileage steal during the Roosevelt
administration when the Congress-
men proposed to give themselves the
same mileage they would have earn
ed, had there been an actual visit
home and return to their posts Of
duty. There hadn't been any inter-
val between the two sessions Of Cong
ress, and no recess whatever: conse-
quently the Congressman were not
entitled to any mileage, and the bill
was an attempt to steal
Sparkman was also one of the
twenty-three Democratic Deserters
who went over to Cannon on March
Is, 1909, and by voting for his re-
tention of despotic power made it
possible to pass the Payne-Aldrich
Tariff law with which the country is
so much dissatisfied. If you will con-
suit the Congressional Record con-

suggestions sent out by our State
department of Food and Drug In
spection, relative to the care OF
eggs before marketing, they are as
follows:
Good, sweet, full eggs r want
ed, and in demand on the market,
but eggs that are gathered once
a day in such weather as we have
been havins, and then kept in a
closet or amused room in the
house for sever1' days before ia
ken to markc., are worthless for
food and an aggravation, as they
cause you to think the merchant
is dishonest or unfair when he de-
clines to pay you anything for
them, and it costs the dealer more
60 handle the eggs when they are
in this condition than IL they we're
properly taken care Of and all
good.
IL will mean much more money
to you II you will follow as close
ly as possible the suggestions OF
DIR. Cutler, besides enabling us 60
pay you better prices and have the
satisfaction OF a pleasant market
ing rather than an irritating one,
You should be careful to see
that the laying hens are kept
away from the SETTING hens.
All eggs in hid-a-way ~ncsts-like
straw stacks under logs and in the
weeds, are likely to be musty,
rotten or otherwise unfit for food.
Incubator eggs are always unfit
for food and the sale OF the same
is ILLEGAL.
Plenty OF clean dry nests should
be provided.
Eggs should be gathered daily
In cool weather and TWICE a day
in HOT or RAINY weather.
Do not wash eggs, 5 the dirty
and small eggs Mt home.
Keep your eggs In acooL
DRY PLACE, which Is free from
odors.
Market your eggs DAILY, Il
possible, II not every other day
Keep your eggs out OF the sur
when taking to town.
Oil, onions and otbdr strong
odors contaminate the eggs.
Shut your BOOSTERS up, or ca,
them, or sell them after June LIST
