PEOPLE ANXIOUS TO SUBSCRIBED
FOR THE JEFFS.

Dear Mr.. Watson: During the
past two weeks I have been canvass
ing for your great periodicals, ana
am glad to say have been SUCCESSFUL.
People everywhere, and especially
those of Bostwick and Monroe, ia,
are anxious to become SUBSCRIBERS 10
the Jeffs. The present fight you are
waging against Lorimerlsm IN Geor-
gia has inspired thousands and en-
couraged the greater populace OF
the Empire State to a higher reallz-
alton of their public duty.
I sincerely believe your fight Tor
the people in this matter, should you
be a victor, would mark your past
efforts with triumph and your vigil
lance with reward.
The attitude of the people of the
fields towards you generally is
friendly, and it is indeed arduous to
find the full-blooded, level-headed
American who dislikes you.
Now for line about the Fourth
of July meeting: I have Travelled
over a good portion Of Georgia ana
everywhere I hear men saying: "lf
I live I will attend the Fourth OF
July rally at Thomson" Feeling
confident that by the 4th all these
honest men won't be dead, | presume
we will have a large crowd from in
dications. 1 estimated the crowd that
will attend your rally at 10000 peo-
pie.

Hoping your life may be spared
to finish the fight you have SO daunt-
lessly begun, I remain, your friend,

inasmuch as they have a good MAORI

OLD MAN PEEPUL'S VERDICT.

Dear Sir: AS this is the first
time I have tried to write a letter
to your paper. want to express
my thoughts on the subject. We are
interested in that of election of Uni
ted States Senators by the people.
Hoke Smith and his followers
don't want the people to vote on that
question, for the reason that Hoke
knows he is dead politically, so far
as the people are concerned. We
don't want such men to represent
the people of the South. He won't
make a statement of the things he
has been charged with. No, he waits
for the people to decide and they all
have made their verdict: eve, the
jury, find the accused guilty, and
recommend he take back seat

COMMISSIONER LINDSEY'S EX-
PLANTATION.

Atlanta, Ca, May "a, 1911.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: Ny attention has been
called to a communication in your
issue Of The JeffersOnian Of the 18th
inst, from Gleenwood, Ca, in which
reference is made to the widow of
Daniel B. Ussery of Wilkinson Coun-
ty being refused pension, etc I
beg to say that I knew Mr. Ussery
in his life time and that the PEN
sion records show that he was placed
on the INDECENT pension roll in 1896
and paid his pension up to and in
Guiding 1898 and reported dead in
1899.
My file docket for 1910 shows
that Mrs. G. M. Ussery made an ap-
plication for pension from Montgom-
cry County under the new law. It
was turned over to the Ordinary for
some necessary amendment to COM
plete it, which has not been done
and is still there. I have been urg-
ing the Ordinaries to amend and re-
turn to this Office such claims that
they may be approved.
1t is great pleasure to me to be
able to approve all such applications
when made out conforming to the
requirements of the law. Yours re-
spectfully, JNO. w. LINDSAY.

ONE RUN FOR BROOKLYN
Not Enough, However, to Win,
as Pirates Score Seven.

Plttsburg, July 25-Continuing their as
sauts on the Brooklyn pitching stan the
Pittsbure Pirates sadly mauled the offer
,ngs OF Schardt, Burk and Rasan here to-
day. and had an easy time defeating the
Brooklyn Superbas IN the second game OF
the series by score Of 10 l.
Thanks TO a temporary recovery from the
recent batting slump OF lack wheat
Brooklyn escaped the whitewash brush.
The speedy fielder poled out home run
I'm the first inning. Later In the game ne
slammed out a three-base hit, but the men
following were easy victims, and Zach
languished on third. Wheat had busy
time Of II IN the field, and pulled down tour
drives bound for tho fence.
Ferry was on the mound for the Flra'es'
and seldom has the tow-haired youngster
shown 20 better advantage. He had no
trouble with any Of the Brooklyn men out-
side Of Wheat. 4 single by SchardI IN
the sixth inning was the only "thsr hit
made of his delivery. Ferry struck out
only two men.
Hans Wagner and Jock Miller performed
brilliantly at shortstop and second base re-
spectively. The big Dutchman meandered
all over the diamond and simply ate UP
the ball. Half dozen chances were wei
taken care of by him, while Miller uiu
equally we'll with as many more.
Byrne opened the game for the home team
by hitting safely to left. Leach famed ana
Bobby died stealing. Carey however, was
passed, and Wagner singled, sending carey
TO third. Wagner stole second, and oo'h he
and Carey scored when Miller tripled TO
deem right. Hits by Wilson and Byrne
scored another run IN the third -nnite' anu
IN tho nth two more were added on a

LONG OCEAN RACE ENDS
The Caroline Reaches Nova
Scotia in Front of Her Rivals.

Halifax, N. s., July 25.-Badly buffeted by
severe storm that broke off the Nova
Scotia coast last night, the power boat
Caroline. owned by NJ. It. Dennis, and the
favorite In the reciprocity motorboat race
from New York to Halifax. crossed the
finish line off the Royal Nova Scotia 1acht
Club pier at 100 a. n. to-day.
It had been expected that the winners
time would be about sixty hours, but the
Caroline was considerably under this esti-
mate. covering the 553 miles between
Gravcsend Bay and Halifax In exactly
nfty-seven hours
The Eronel was the second boat to finish
Sine arrived off the pier at $50 a. m, but
the weather was too thick for her skipper
70 make out the judges boat and she did
not cross the line officially until two hours
later, pulling UP her anchor and crossing
the line between the marks in order TO re
credited with an official finish.
The men on the Eronel reported having
experienced fine weather until last night
when the boat ran into a stiff southeaster,
accompanied by heavy seas, thunder and
lightning.
Snapshot III, the third contestant, had
not finished up to noon to-day, and, as
result of her non-appearance. the dance al
the yacht club in honor Of the racers
crews, which was to have been given to-
night, has been postponed until tomorrow
There was only few minutes difference
in the time allowances Of these three
boats The Tramp, which was the scratch
boat Of the four craft that started from
Gravesend Bay, withdrew from the race
somewhere in the vicinity Of Block Island.
The last part Of the CarOline's trip was
made under most unfavorable conditions.
Yesterday afternoon the wind blew in from
the southeast. increasing in intensity as
the night came on, and kicking UP tre-
mendous sea all along the Nova Scotia
coast. Part Of the time thick haze hung
over the sea, making observation difficult.
but the downpour Of rain which came later
cleared away the haze and made the lights
of the harbor beacon visible for miles.
As the Caroline rounded Cape Sambro,
several miles from here, the gale and sea
caused some trouble, breaking the wheel
ropes ard carrying away some canvas.
Entering the harbor, the Caroline, with
the wind astern, fairly flew up to the finish
line, but did not stop until oil the custom
house, we'll up the harbor. 1t was two
hours later before any one came ashore
from the craft.
Chief Officer Cane, OF the steamer Flon-
bel. who navigated the Caroline into port.
reported all hands well and most enthusi-
astic over their victory.
Mr.. Dennis, the owner OF the Caroline,
said to-day that he was willing TO race
back TO New York. His boat had a narrow
escape from being wrecked on the lodges
off Sambro last night. When the wheel
rope was broken during the gale. the Caro-
line swung perlously near the Lodges, but
the damage was repaired in time to set
the boat on her course again before any
accident happened.
