Dear Mr.. Watson.

DCdI NIL. w dUSOl,
| have read your piece in the Atlanta Con-
stitution last week, and [ have been afraid
ever since [ would be killed by the other two
that were with me when we were after you
there, as they swore they would kill me if I
told, but / have found out that they have
been away from Atlanta for two weeks and if
you have found the dynamite you say you
have, you had better watch out, as I know
this must be some new dynamite, as we threw
all we had away In creek about 10 miles
from Thompson when [ was with them
Now Mr.. Watson as | have said BEFORE
have nothing against you and will never hurt
you but the other two fellows who were with
me are out of Atlanta, and you had better
look out, since you found that dynamite.
Your two friends who hired us to get you
may try and jail me if [ see you and tell on
them and tell all [ know to you, but | hope
some day | can see you and tell you if they
don't get you before"

Dear Mr.. Watson:

l have read your piece in the paper and [
am Obliged to answer it, as [ am through with
the crowd that hired me to get you, as they
failed to come across with the money as they
promised. You are right about something
good stopping you from coming down behind
your house The evening you started for if you
had we were ready to get you, and would
have gotten you sure. wish to say that [
nor my two pals had anything against you
but we needed the money. Now / want to
tell you that We were hired to get you by two
parties, who You think your friends, and not
by anybody here in Atlanta, but since we
read your piece in the Atlanta Constitution
and since our parties failed to pay us, we will
not harm you, SO don't worry. We were
around your house for three days, and [ am
the man the lady saw behind the bushes.
Goodby AIr. Watson we don't intend to
hurt you"
The words Coming down behind your
house." convinced me the writer had been
here on the day Mr. CARTRIDGE saw the two
strange white men at the pasture gate, near
the solitary private plantation road where [
take my afternoon stroll. 1t was not stated
In my article in the Constitution that [ was
walking down The hill at the back of my
house, 7H0t qntls 50, bVt no one hneaO at,
Excepting THOSE WHO WERE
HERE AND 81 W NE.
AS soon as | got possession of the above let
ter, [ suggested that an ad. be placed In the
Constitution. In the hope of drawing some
thing more from the anonymous writer
Maj. McGregor accordingly advertised, on
his return home from Florida. Here is the
response he got, written on the same kind of
pad in the same pencil-writing:
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-08-03
THE JEFFERSONIAN

Watson had better watch out, as they are
going after him again soon.
My two pals are out with me, and say they
will kill me if tell.
Have got good job here now and am 90
ing to do right. / did not get a cent from the
parties, who hired us to get Mr. Watson, and
had to walk most all the way back here
II | knew you would not have me arrested,
L might meet you some where and tell you all
but will tell you now, you had better warn
Mr.. Watson, as the fellows mean to get him.
L Will look for an answer to this in the
Atlanta Constitution.
L don't want any money at all for what I
may be able to tell you"
Maj. McGregor sent to the Constitution an
other notice, as per suggestion in the letter;
and he went up to Atlanta hoping to get an
interview. There was delay, however, in
the publication of the notice, and Macs trip
was abortive
But there came another of these letters to
me-same kind Of pad paper, same kind Of
pencn-wrltlng. 1t was in this way:
Jacob Whine who saw two of the
strangers, in Feb, and who is trapper of
minks, saw one of these animals run into the
swamp, near where he had seen the men
dodge back into it. He thought the mink
mad run into hole IN hollow stump, and he
raked about on the inside of it, as he stopped
over It, In this way, he happened to see the
hidden parcel, which on being taken out and
unwrapped proved to be three sticks of dy-
Mantle
Some days after we had discovered this
deadly stuff, on my place, and in the swamp
where the men were hidden parts of three
days, In February, an absurd story appeared
in the papers, that the dynamite had been left
by the little boys who were fishing.
1t was necessary for me to correct this
story, and [ did SO, in the Atlanta Constito-
h0n-giving the truth of the matter. The
boys were on the place several days after
Jake Winnie discovered and reported the dy-
Mantle: the boys never had any dynamite:
they could not, even now, find the stump;
and there are no fish anywhere within two
miles to dynamite
After the publication of my card in the
Constitution, this letter came to me:

Hilloeks of veoetation.

At this time OF the year farmers are
busy making miniature mountains on
their holdings, mountains that viii be
scattered over the countryside before
the winter is over
The mountains in question are those
formed of vegetable produce that must
be kept for several months, and sold
as occasion requires. Potatoes, beet
root, carrots and turnips are raised
from the ground in September and
stored
The farmer calls his hiIlock Of vege-
tables a clamp" He makes 1t on a
piece of high ground near the home
stead, so that it may not be flooded,
and many a big grower has clamps a
quarter Of mile long.
First, a shallow ditch is dug on the
piece OF land selected. The base Of this
is lined with straw. and upon the straw
the roots are heaped up firmly and
carefully, till they resemble an elon-
gated cone.
Over the sides of the cone more
straw is laid, and on that again earth
or, better still, tufts, with their grassy
sides inwards. Bricks will not keep
out frost, but straw will, and a we'll
made clamp is frost proof, and also
damp proof

No other medicine for woman's ills

icine we know of has such a record
of cures as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
For more than 80 years it has been
curing WOman's ills such as inf1amma-

uIarities, periodic pains and nervous

with which he held TO this one point
You must understand, Senior
Grimm, that many state documents
are kept in the safe,'' he said finally,
Therefore it is not advisable that any
one should know the combination l

lips silently repeated the words Then
aloud: Perhaps there's record OF
the combination somewhere? II you

would the safe have been opened?"

observed Mr.. Grimm musingly, 1T
would seem that you either didn't put
the money into the safe at all, or
please sit down, there's nothing per
sonal in this-or else the money was
taken out of the safe without it being
unlocked. This last would have been
a miracle, and this is not the day OF
miracles, therefore
Mr. Grimm's well modulated voice
traiIed of into silence. Senior Rodri-
guez. came to his feet with blaze Of
anger in his eyes; Mr.. Grimm was
watching him curiously.

truth" interrupted Mr.. Grimm placid
", that is the truth so far as you
know it. But you have stated one
thing in error. Somebody besides your
self does know the combination.
Senior Rodriguez drew a deep breath
of relief. The implied accusation had
been withdrawn as pleasantly and
frankly as it had been put forward.
Ct ran across a chap in New York
