JEFFS
JEFFS.

Dear Sir: [ received notice with
my last number that my subscription
expires this month. | am going to
renew as soon as I can hear from the
Jeff Company. Not only that, but |
want WatsOn's Magazine for two of
my neighbOrs.
[ can't afford to miss the writings
Of t. E. Watson. [ have been look
ing forward to the time when his
History of the South and West should
appear, and [ now ask it as a favor,
that you send me the February num-
Der, that [ may get it from the first
chapter, and in consecutive order
throughout the coming year. I have
noticed that the reforms which the
people from time to time demand, are
generally brought about through the
influence Of the press, and since we
have so few writer's at the present
time who have the courage to say
what they believe, these few-very
few, indeed-of the Tom Watson
stamp, should have the support of all
fair minded people. The greatest
thing about Watson is his earnest
conviction, coupled with his absolute
disregard for what other people
think. He may never be president,
senator or governor but he is doing
a greater work for his country than
any Of these, and his fame will live
when many Of the so-called great men
of today are wrapped in oblivion.
Yours truly, R. S. KELLY.

Dear Sir: I have read your Life of

life of the great Corsican and the
most interesting account of the Battle
OF Waterloo [ have ever read. l am
a great admirer of ''the most remark

have many lives of him and if I had
to give up all these books but one,
yours would be the one kept.
Now, if you will just give us a life
Of Robert e. Lee and a little book on
the Battle of Gettysburg. Robert E.
Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Napoleon
are the three greatest warriors since
the foundation of the world.
Waterloo and Gettysburg, the two
greatest battles in the worlds his

the most extraordinary in the worlds

us many more books, especially Lee

A FINE SUGGESTION.

My Dear Mr. Watson: Please par
don me for intruding upon your time
and intelligence in making a sugges-
ton. Inasmuch as about nine-tenths
of our county newspapers are subsi-
died, couldn't you, with the equip
ment Of your printing plant, do the
printing Of a number of county week
lies, cheaply, and make it easy for an
editor to get along and make a living
profit yourself? l think if there were
a number Of county weeklies scat
tered over the state, with good,
live Jeffersonian editors, they
would have a good bearing on the
political situation. There are a num-
Der of farmers who think they can
only afford to take one paper, and
they generally tell you they want the
county news. Praying Gods protect
ing care upon you. Yours sincerely,
Dublin, Ga. G.. V. JENKINS.

A SUGGESTED MODIFICATION OF
PLATFORM

Dear Sir: | approve of nearly all
that is in your paper for March 10th,
page nine, under "Does This Plat
form Appeal to Your" but think to
be effective plank four should be
modified. Make it read like this:
Simplify the Federal Judicial system;
abolish distinction between Circuit
and District judges, reduce the num-
Der of places for holding Federal
courts; deprive corporations of the
right to own property or do business
IN state in which they have not
established a general or state office.
Prohibit a corporation thus having
state or general office from bringing
Or removing a case in or to the Fed
eral court. Let all questions as to
rights under Federal Constitution
and laws between citizens of a state
and a corporation thus doing bust
ness be presented first in state courts
and by appeal to U. S. Circuit Court
Of Appeals or Supreme Court, and
make the minimum amount of which
the Federal Circuit Courts have juris-
diction $4,000.
think by proposing to destroy all
Federal Courts you go too far. You
spoil the horn" Yours truly,

A HARDsHELL RISES TO REMARK

My Dear Mr.. Watson: I have been
thinking for some time of writing to
you. l am Bible Baptist preacher
and am opposed to anything that
hasn't a thus sayeth the Book.
want to say one thing about our
Association (Clear Creek, and one
church in said Association, that is,
Van Buren, church. They last year
came into the Clear Greek by letter
from the Concord Association, but
they reported all the work of the
church to both Associations.
They got last year $500 supple
ment from the board, but they report
$3.50 to State missions, but 1 say
they liked $320.O1 Of giving anything
at all to State missions. Am I not
right? They reported $3.50 to each
Association; reported 81, 900 pastors
salary to each; reported 5000 to
visiting ministers. Was the mission
airy of the Concord Association and
the church belonged to the Concord
at the time of his visit at Van Buren,,
so you see Van Buren, claims to have
paid for pastor last year 5000, and
$500 for help, when the truth is
they only paid $3.50, and the board
paid 1920 to their pastor. Now,
there is a reason for this report. The

AN APPRECIATED LETTER FROM
A LADY.
My Dear Friend :

My Dear Friend:
I want to tell you once more how
highly I prize your works. You
stand high above every other states
man known and are doing more for
the people than all put together.
bid you God speed and beg you to
take care of yourself, personally. AS
sassins are plentiful, and envy and
jealousy are strong as ever, but
pray God to care for you. I have
been and still am, guess, called
fool about Tom Watson. If so, there
are plenty of fools around here and
elsewhere. I am near my four-score
years and have read politics since 1
could read, and always a Democrat,
and if Tom-whether called a Pop or
Democrats not a Jeffersonian
Democrat, then I am not nor was
Thomas jefferson. Your true friend,

AS TO BAILEY's RESIGNATION

Dear Sir: Your article in The JEFF
fersonian of March 16, is an article
headed Senator Bailey's Childish
ness, you take the position that SEN
ator Bailey actually submitted his
resignation, when, by close examina-
ton Of the facts surrounding the mat
ter, you will find that he did not do
so. He merely gave notice" that he
would resign, first to the vice-presi-
dent, and then to the Governor of
Texas. You don't catch Bailey nap
ping on such matters, and he is too
valuable a henchman to the special
interests and they too valuable en-
ployers to him to resign his job, when
his reelection hangs by such a slen-
der thread. His machine is in power
in the Texas capitol, and in view of
being repudiated by his Democratic
colleagues in the senate on practically
every big proposition voted upon at
the short session, he realized that he
must get another endorsement from
home" and get in the spot light once
more, and knowing that his fool
friends in Texas are ready to stOop
and lick his Oil-stained boots at any
time, he gave notice of his intention
to resign, SO worded that on first
reading it seemed to be bOna-fide
resignation, and his henchmen in
Texas responded nobly." The decent
people of Texas expect 10 redeem
Texas next year from the blotch
Bailey has cast upon its escutcheon.
Yours truly,
J. NJ. ADAMS,
Editor Pioneer Exponent.
COmanche, Texas.
Answer.
I only know what the press-dis-
patches carried. They were to the
effect that Bailey wrote out his resig-
nation, and sent it to Vice President
Sherman to be laid before the Senate;
and that Sherman put it in his
pocket"
1t was because of this written
resignation, in Sherman's possession,
that Bailey telegraphed to Gov Col
quit that 81 have resigned" He
didn't say he meant to resign his
words were, as reported, 81 have
resigned"
And, in law, he had. T. E. w.

TWO QUERIES FROM TEXAS.

Dear Sir: Please answer, through
your jeff, the following questions:
/. Are the railroad companies ex-
empt from taxation?
2. What is meant by 16 to 1?
Yours truly,
Sidney, Tex. P. H. STOVALL.
Answer.
1. Inasmuch as the railroads have
bought decisions to the effect that
they must have reasonable profits,
after paying all expenses, it follows
that they are permitted to get back
from the people all the taxes they pay.
2. One ounce of gold, to sixteen
ounces of silver, as monetary equals.
