The Big Booster Train has arrived
home and all the passengers that
went on the trip have returned,
Boosters for Georgia's great State
Fair. The boys are proclaiming it's
great 1912 fair into all quarters Of
the State.
Macon will do herself proud this
year for we are able to take care
of the great crowd that is coming
as never before. We have built
several new hotels here in the past
year and with Is hotels that are
now running there can be no crowd
too great that we cannot house.

Cn1S seemingly hidden mystery, but
you, neither any Of the professors of
Christendom would believe my solu-
ton
notice you use, frequently, the
word Professionalism in your Jeff,
which word is all o. k, but I want to
inform you that, what, at one time in
the history of these u. 8. of A., the
significance of the above word car
rted has forever died out No pow
er on earth can ever resuscitate Pro-
testantism in its true sense again,
never! never!!
Watch my cogitations.
Every church denomination in the
union is thoroughly Romanized. Do
you understand why? I'll tell you.
After Jesus Christ returned to the
right hand of God the Father, He,
through His angel sent to John on
the Isle of Potmas these words:
Come hither; I will show unto thee
the judgment of the great whore
(RomanisIn) that stitch upon many
waters; with whom (Roman Catho-
lie church) the kings of the earth
have committed fornication, (adopt-
ing Rome's dogmas) and the inhabi-
tants of the earth have been made
drunk with the wine (fa1se doctrines
and Worship Of her fornication.
Grew. I'll, 20
Here is the answer to your query,
Professionalism has been rocked In
Rome's cradle SO long you can't tell
one from the other, all preach the
same, Rome sets the pace, Protest
antism dances to the music.
The belief and practice of the Ro-
man church extends further in the
past than millions are aware. Re
liable history tells US that the seed
of this monster, the Roman Hierar-
chy was. soWn first by a woman.
When, after the food, Nimrod be-
came noted leader, he contrived the
idea Of building a tower whose top
should reach to heaven. This tower,
while in course of construction God
so COMPOUNDED the language of the
builders that they absolutely desisted
from further work Thus the tower
was afterwards known as the tower
of Babel, or tower of confusion.
Nimrod was defied and mentioned
in scripture as Belus, or Baal. MINI
rod finally died, and his son Minus
came to the throne He fought many
battles, one of which he would have
lost, but for the assistance of the
wife of one of his officers, whose
name was Semiramis. The govern
ment was then known as the BabylO
nian. The woman finally assumed
control, and reigned AZ years. Dur
ing her life she claimed to be divine,
and adapted the title, Queen c
Heaven saying that she was "an
incarnation of the Divine Spirit, and
bride of the Supreme Father" She
instituted the "Chaldean Mysteries
to control her subjects in church
matters. She made her subjects re-
nounce their nationality, thus, be-
coming a mystical brotherhood, or
priesthood, over whom she placed
pontiff, or high priest, her subjects
were required to confess every
thought, then they were sprinkled
with "holy water" and given a cake.
called Mola. See Jer. 7-18.
So you see Romanism is the Oldest
religious dogma extant, dating soon
after the Flood, which food oc-
Cured 1856 years after creation.
The Romish church today observe
identically the same heineous wor-
ship that Semiramis instituted. The
Romish church sets the example to-
day for Christendom and poor Pro-
testantism follows like a yellow dog,
the procession,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-10-03

s INSPIRATION lFOm the GOQ OF heaven
teaches that every human being is
wholly mortal, soul and all dies.
Rome teaches that her church,
(Catholic) is the true church.
The Baptists, Methodists, Presby-
terians, all nominal churches teach
the same Dogma.
The Roman church acquires adj
herents through false means, such
as church suppers or banquets, every
abominable means employed to en-
trap humanity. Thus, the so-called
Christian denominations are found
ering in the tolls of Romanism, but
are willingly ignorant" as Paul
says.
You seem to be astounded at the
utter silence of Christendom, but if
you could get on to the real teach
Ing Of scriptures your eyes would be-
COME opened just as mine are How
can Raalites fight each other? How
can those who are born and bred
under Rome's dogmas fight her?
They know better than to oppose the
Harlot Mother.
What is the political condition of
the U. S. government?
Ruled in toto by the Pope Papa
Of Rome through his sleuths, Papist
Priests.
Who constitutes the American
navy? The Popc's menaicants
Who are the majority Of the
army? Roman converts.
Who occupies the Presidential
chair? A Roman sympathizer. Will
liam H. Taft-a grand rascal and
hypocrite.
What power controls the Senate
and House? The majority, Rome's
converts or tools.
Who are the heads of the Supreme
Court, Federal judges generally?
Romanists. Taft is a hot-bIood Ro-
manist in principle and heart Wood
row Wilson, as we'll as all higher
officials are Romans at heart and
principle. The whole bunch will re-
sort to any means to accomplish
their hellish ambitions. Watch and
see.
There is not an Office of any con-
sequence, but is filed by Roman
scalawags.
Rome is fast overruLning these
United States, politically and ecele-
siastically.
Brother I know it is hard to swal-
low this as a Missionary Baptist, but
some day you will have to admit
what | have written, concerning the
congenial federation between Romes
church and Christendom.
AS you will learn from Sacred
records, God chose a people-the
Jews-whom He designed to be
peculiar people, separate and distinct
from all other nations. God gave
them certain laws and very specific
instructions as to the mode of pro-
cedure in carrying out those laws.
God appointed leaders, instruc-
tors whose duty it was to make the
Jews familiar with all laws and
regulations concerning their moral
and spiritual life, but they inyaria-
bly, complained and ruthlessly vio-
lated every law given them. They
were like the thing called Christi
anity today, never satisfied with
complying with Gods will, but
they wanted to be like the nation
around them, they must have judges,
so God gave them judges for the
space of 430 years. Finally other
nations were ruled by kings, SO the
Jews again made complaint and God
gave them kings for 536 years. Thus
the Jews progressed from bad to
worse till finally they became so
wicked, their government so vile and

BURLINGTON FRACTIONS DEAL
Minority Stockholders Kick Against
Buying vergennes Concern

Burlington, Jan minority stock
holders of the Burlington Traction
company met today to talk over the
proposed purchase of the plant, ma
chinery. etc, of the Vergennes Pow
er company The latter company is
owned by Elias Lyman. John j. Flynn
W. w. Hendee, and c. W. Brownell.
The activity on the part Of the minor
ity stockholders is occasioned by a
call just sent out notifying the stock
holders OF the traction company to
attend a meeting next Wednesday to
see If the stockholders will author
ize the directors of the traction COM
pany, namely, Elias Lyman. c. w.
Brownell. Henry ID. Hendee, W. +.

ell and n. Il. Pierce to buy the real
estate, water power and property OF
every nature now owned by the Yer
gennes Power company, for sum
not exceeding S230,0OO.
The call proposes that the direc-
tors, "be authorized to borrow money,
or issue notes, or bonds, bearing in
terest at a rate not exceeding six per
cent per annum to an amount not ex-
ceeding 100000 and to mortgage the
railroad Of the Burlington Traction
company and all its other property in

cure the payment OF said notes, or
bonds, TO be used in retiring, paying,
or refunding the present bonds of the
Burlington Traction company which
amount to $4,000 and to be used al
so In developing the street railway
system"
Minority stockholders are inclined
to oppose this proposition-for tho
present at least. The purpose OF to-
days meeting was to formulate plans
to prevent hurried action along the
lines proposed by the call. These
stockholders take the position that
this purchase should not be made un-
I'll the actual value OF the Vergennes
property has been demonstrated. II
the minority stockholders should de-
eide TO oppose the proposition II will
be possible for them to bring up the
fight either before the Public Ser
vice Commission or by minority
stockholders bill.
AT the meeting this afternoon the
minority stockholders made IL
plain that they intend to oppose any
attempt on the party OF the majority
to railroad the purchase through and
II was intimated after the meeting
that ifsuch an attempt were made In.
Junction proceedings might result.

of Health.

Cincinnati Jan. 5.-The final lid
was clamped and sealed here today
on the celebrated ticket scalping
scandal that ruffied the baseball hor-
lion directly following the worlds
championship series in New York
and Philadelphia last October. While
the national baseball commission
gathered enough evidence to assure
it that wholesale ticket scalping took
place in both towns, yet this evil
dence indicated that neither the New
York National nor Philadelphia Am
erican league club owners, managers,
players, or employees were in collus-
ion with the scalpers On the con-
trary, the commission says, the evil
dence shows that both clubs used
evehry reasonable precaution to pro-
tect the public.
The commission holds that the
charges Of the press at the time were
justified but gently scores a number
of people who at the time of the
episode offered to produce proof as
to the alleged collision but failed to
deliver any evidence of value.
In addition to generating both
clubs the commission praises them
for the extra precautions that we're
taken against scalping. State and
municipal legislation against scalp
ing is urged.

EMBRACE
First Zero Weather OF Winter
in This Section
Ten BELOW THIS MORNING
Much Lower Temperatures Reported
and Severity of Weather lncreas-
ed by Biting Northwest Wind

For the first time this winteh zero
weather prevails and according to
the weather reports it is likely to be
still colder. The whole northern and
central part of the country is in the
grip of cold wave.
Standard thermometers this morn
ing registered ten below zero and or
binary mercury thermometers in
some cases made the record much
lower. The sharp northwest wind
made the temperature seem much
lower. The frozen ground and lack
of snow makes the country roads bad
but in the mountains to the east,
there is snow enough so that logging
has been resumed
Cold weather records for the year,
and in many instances for many
years, were either broken yesterday
or will be during the succeeding "a
hours in the territory within 1000
mile radius of the great lakes, &C
cording to the prediction issued by
the Chicago weather bureau. In the
immediate vicinity of the lakes,
where the open water tempered the
blasts, temperatures were materially
higher than in places farther away.
But low record for many years for
Chicago was established shortly be-
fore noon, at SO below zero Today's
figure is placed at 10 degrees below
