AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM
AN-OLD FRIEND.

Dear Sir: I have just read with
much interest in 1.-THE jeff of 18th
instant, "Who is Financing the
Campaign of SANDER Against Oscar
Underworld"
These reasons seem conclusive to-
my mind. Isn't it record of which
the South can we'll feel proud of.
That a member of Congress from
Georgia, Thos. E. Watson was the
author of rural free delivery, which
is a light now in so many million
rural homes.
Now an Alabama son introduced
and got passed a bill affecting the
rural home all over the nation,
which was vetoed by the president.
I feel, if the rural homes of the
South and West saw the truth as it
is, Oscar Underwood would be our
next president. Where is the being,
South or West, who will point to one
instance where you proved false to
the peoples interest? | am reader
of part of The Semi-Weekly Jour
nal, specially on account of Mrs. w.
H. FELTON,, one of the grandest and
truest characters living. Also for
LE0 Ol III. AnOIcW M. OOulS
and Bishop w. A. Gambler, both Of
whom l admire very much.
Find clipping from Semi-Weekly
Journal of January 16, 1912, Mrs.
Felton's remarks on woodrow Will
son, which 1 think very much to the
point.
If Washington was true to the
Colonies:
If the old guard, at Waterloo, was
true to Napoleon.
If Lee was true to the South, then
truly has the Hon. Thos. e. Watson
been true to right and truth, and to
humanity
Born in 1853, on Georgia's
soil, having had the opportun-
ity of travelling across the
continents twice and in other lands
and seeing the evolution and
changes, things once sacred no
longer sacred. The ballot of a free
man, which should be held as sacred
as mothers casket, polluted with

money. Our sacred liberties and
blood-bought institutions endangered
by the eternal and blood-thirsty
enemy of freedom in the centuries
past, extortion and usury holding
high carnival and if there lives
man today giving his time, his tai
emit, his means, his all, to change the
current as you are doing, where
is he?
We have organized an Under
wood club at Jefferson, DR.. J. G.
Bennett, president.
G. S. Johnson, vice-president,
Jackson county, is for Underwood.
I see in The Semi-WeekIy Journal
thy are trying to prejudice the
members of the Farmers Union
against Underwood, claiming Under
woods influence was against the bill
to stop gambling on farm products.
Please give us the facts on this line.
I know you know the truth about it,
and will tell it.

ARE "MOVING PICTURES" AN
EVIL"

EVIL

Dear Sir: Permit me to call your
attention TO new evil that has
appeared among us in the cities and
larger towns. 1t is the moving pic
ture show; the cheapness Of the show
draws thousands of customers, and it
is increasing daily. If conducted on
highplane, it would be the means
through which much good could be
accomplished, but the nature of the
pictures as general rule, is calcu-
lated to do much harm. For instance:
every picture that shows a lovers
scene, winds up with a lot of disgust
ing hugging and kissing. Another
class of pictures show entirely too
much Of the drunken and debauching
scenes of the Bowery.
Such pictures are not good for the
young mind to look upon. The worst
of all, however, is the one that the

be interesting to know that there are

their lesser congeners, the garrulous

20 inches, while the handsome black
woodpecker OF northern Europe, the
pic noir of the French, averages but
three or four inches smaller.

race OF birds, for our ponderous ivy
billed woodpecker now found only in
the wilder timbered districts of the
gulf states, has a length of 81 inches
The magnificent imperial woodpecker
of Mexico and Central America Is
even larger by an inch or more than
the last-named species, and Is truly
a most remarkable bird.
There is one very peculiar thing
about these big woodpeckers, and
that is In their general celebration

white markings, and the males have
brilliant scarlet crests or other color
