TO ABOLISH GAME WARDEN'S
PLACE

My Dear Mr.. Watson: Your postal
in reply to my letter received. I
have the endorsement of everybody
around this section from the mayor,
all the judges, Savannah Board of
Trade, Chamber OF Commerce, Cot
ton Exchange, and every other corpo-
ration, institution and individual of
note" backing me up in any and
everything 1 say or suggest to the
committee on fish and game, and
have had this backing for the past
four years. I have been going up to
Atlanta, trying to straighten those
fellows-on the game problem at any
rate.
l am going to Atlanta Saturday
night or Sunday, and will be there
possibly three or four weeks We
have either got to get Mercer out of
his job, and put man in who
knows something of the situation
and who is straight and honest, and
a friend at heart to both the birds
and the sportsmen or abolish the job.
Mercer is a friend to neither. The
salary, and graft, is what he is work
ing for. We will either put him out
or abolish the office.
I understand there is some such
talk in the wind now. If we could
get good man in it would be all
right, and there are plenty Of good
men. Hope you are feeling better.
Sincerely yours,
SAVANNAH SPORTSMAN.

ANOTHER MAN WHO WORKS FOR
THE ,yEFFS

Dear Sir: | am sending you by to-
days mail two subscriptions, one for
the weekly jeff and the other the
monthly. These two men subscribed
for your periodicals believing that
you are right in exposing the Catholic
Hierarchy and fully sympathize with
you in the position you have taken
and stand ready to defeno you in the
prosecution that's now pending,
brought on by the uRgodly act of
Popery. I see from the Atlanta Con-
stitution today where the God Of
Heaven through wisdom and justice
spoke in unmistakable terms through
the medium Of cyclone and brought
to naught a Catholic priest and seve-
raj others while taking the sacra-
ment. / suppose the same one you
refer to in your December Magazine.
The spirit of this letter is not boast
ing, I would to God these poor de-
luded creatures could see the error
of their way and turn to the living
God that has all power in Heaven
and in earth. Right here, my faith
If [ have any, is strengthened, for we
are told that without God we can do
nothing. Also we are reminded that
imam at his best estate is altogether
vanity Gods word doesn't say at
better estate, but at his best, and if
God pronounces him vanity at his
best from my view point he is in
terrible dilemma. I have read your
Magazine closely on the exposition of
foreign missions and felt at times l
could have put some little thing to
what you said that might have helped
some one that was in sympathy with
you. / hope to hear from you some,
time and wish I could have talked to
you more when I met you in Atlanta
as delegate from Muscogee county
to the Underwood convention. Wish
ing you success and hoping to send
you some more subscribers, l remain
your Primitive Baptist friend to the
last.

Comment:
CELL OUT'' ONCE, BUT WANTS
MAGAZINE FOR TWO REAS-
ONS NOW

Dear Sir: took your paper, or
Magazine while l was at Newton,
Ala. But l fell out with you on ac-
count Of the radical position you
took on Missions I have not
changed my opinion yet. But since
You are in fight against a mighty
power that threatens to overturn the
State, churches and all else that is
good, want your Magazine for two
reasons. First, I want it for it's own
value, and second, l want to sub
scribe to let you know that l am
with you and have sympathy for you
and the great cause which you have
espoused. For soul liberty did our
forefathers struggle; and soul liber-
ty they won (the Baptists, mean.
And now shall We surrender these
blood bought liberties for which our
fathers suffered? Surrender them to
a hungry, greedy set of foreigners?
No, never, We will resist, even unto
prison and death, were it to come to
that. Please find one dollar inclosed
for the Jeffersonian Magazine.
Yours sincerely,
Flomaton, Ala. r. M. HUNTER.

Err FRIEND WANTS TO
PAY EXPENSES.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Have Just
finished reading the result of your
preliminary trial. The newspaper
represents Mr.. Alderman as saying
that he was after the big fish, and
that he did not care about the min
nows, when speaking of the compo-
sition of the Jeffersonian Publish
ing Co. This tends to show mali
cious prosecution on his part.
Several of us would like to have
the opportunity of paying whatever
fine they impose, without cents
cost to you. Would like to be on
the "honor-roll" as extending the
exhibition of our pugnacity in this
manner.
This will no doubt take Off the
fence parties who merely look, on
fight, and the Catholic papers have
recognized it. What you will put
on record for them will not look
well outside of the nasty confess
sional. This is merely chance to
prove up"
Wishing you well, remain, your
friend.

ANOTHER GEORGIA ATTORNEY
EXPRESSES AN OPINION.

Dear Sir: J sympathize with you
very much in your recent trouble
But cannot help from believing
that you will &c through the crueible
of the courts and come out triumph
ant, with your garments unsinged
and your name undefiled, unstained,
and uncorruptable by the fiery darts
of wrath hurled at you from your
foes. These enemies that have left
their bloody landmark upon the
pages of ancient history, that have
wrecked governments and created
discussions in Church and State in
the old European Empire across the
waters, are not yet satisfied, they are
still hungering, their NAV seems to
have no limit to its capacity. They
have found their way across the wat
ers. They have infested this fair Re-
public with their internal creed, and
it is gnawing at the very vitals of
this Government trying to undermine
its framework and in the end if not
checked will wreck it's superstruc-
ture. / can hardly conceive that you
will need help in this malicious
prosecution. But if assistance is
needed and I can help in my feeble
way do not fail to command me.
Yours very truly,
w. d. MARTIN
Attorney-at-Law.

A PREACHERS ENDORSEMENT.

Ny Dear Mr.. Watson: | am a
Methodist preacher of the South
Georgia Conference, in charge OF
four churches in this section. 1
think that every man who is not a
member of the Roman Catholic
Church should stand by you. I
shall give you my support not only
in private but from my pulpit. 1
think it high time that all Protestant
bodies should bury their minor diff
ferences and present an unbroken
front to the Catholic Church.
Truly yours,

THE NEW JERSEY MARRIAGE
LAW.

Dear Sir: VIII you kindly print
the gist OF that new marriage law
enacted by the New Jersey Legisla-
ture and signed by Woodrow Wilson,
who appoints a Romanist as his pri-
yate secretary and who himself hob
ncbs with Jesuits? | mean the law
referred to in your last issue, and
which makes the civil marriage sub
ordinate to the ecclesiastical, or
which may even abrogate the civil
contract.
I am Jerseyman living in Flor
ida, and can hardly believe that my
old State has enacted such a statute,
but guess she has, for she has been
doing many funnythings since Wood
row Wilson got to be Governor and
began fishing for the Presidency.
JERSEYMAN.
Jacksonville, Fla
Comment:
The new law takes from the JUS
tees of the Peace of New Jersey the
right to perform marriage cere-
monies.
Marriages must be performed by
priests or preachers, and the bill was
signed by Woodrow Wilson.

END OF WEEKS CELEBRATION.

The Byron Troubadours. who were
| the attraction at three performances
at the Auditorium Monday and Tues
day, under the auspices of the Peoples S
Presbyterian church. lived up to their
advance notices. They are easily an
ATTRACTION to music lovers. whatever
musical instrument they prefer, for
these versatile artists are yirtuosos
on them all. The rounds Of applause
which greeted them were impartial,
but possibly those most applauded
were Mr. Woods, the violinist, and Mr..
Thompson, the baritone singer. Their
costuming, their stage presence and
their selections of music and instru-
meuis We're such as would please.
Each number deserved the attention
of critic. but II is sufficient to say
that they are the best troupe of any
that have come to this city, playing
many instruments, and singing solos
and choruses.
Weather conditions seriously inter
fered with the attendance. In fact
after the first night when nearly a
thousand were present, the crowds
were small. However, their appear
ance here was financially successful
due TO the large sale of tickets in
advance. The manager Rev. Thos.
HAZEL is to be congratulated upon his
success in handling so large an enter
tainment on such scale successfully.
1t was a fitting close to a large week
devoted TO the celebrating of their re
entry into their renovated home. The
big church service was Sunday after
noon. Rev Smith was the principal
speaker while Rev. Over represented
the other churches. Crowds poured
into the building and admired 1t at
the various services. Having accom-.
plished so much of the foundation
work, 1t is now the intention of the
pastor and people to go forward for
humanity's sake the more zealously
and the more thoroughly.
