BLESSINGS ARE FRUIT OF SAC
RTFTCE"

Dear Sir: 1t will be impossible
for me to express in this little note
what feel in my heart, for two
reasons, lack of time and lack of
sense. I am glad that Georgia has
at least one man who can see and
one man who has backbone to tell
what he sees, a man who lives up to-
and who has the manhood to speak
his honest convictions
need not tell you my dear Tom,
that what blessings which have come
to us in church and State are the
fruits of self sacrifice, obedience to
honest conviction.
Remember the many in church
and State who have given their lives
to bless. Remember Daniel, Jerre-
miah, John the Baptist, Paul, Peter,
Stephen, and greatest of all the
blessed Christ.
They that will live Cody in
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecu-
ton
"Be steadfast, unmovabIe, always
Astounding in the work of the
Lord"
Don't forget God loves you Tom.
you have never seen love you and
are praying for you.
Dear Tom, I am glad you are in
your right mind, am glad you are
brave, these two great gifts are the
forerunners to untold benedictions
to the human family
Take courage, cheer up, keep in
close touch with the author of all
good, that your life may bring eter-
nal benedictions to millions yet to
follow.
May God preserve your soul and
body unto the coming Of Him who
gave his life for US, to redeem us
from all iniquity and purify unto
himself peculiar people jealous of
good works.

ONE OF MANY FRIENDS.

Dear Sir: If you will examine
your mailing list you will find that
my name has been there for over
five years, and if I live and stay able
to scratch up the subscription price,
it shall remain there.
My brother subscribed for your
Magazine when it was published in
New York. I was then only q lad
of a boy, but there was something
very attractive about your style of
writing, and would devour your edi-
torials with great relish. So I said
to myself: When I become a
man I shall learn more of that
man Watson. And the more
learn of him, the more I admire him.
I can truthfully say that, in my esti-
nation, your Magazine and Weekly
are superior to all others.
I believe you have thousands of
friends who will aid you with their
influence, and if necessary with their
money. This case involves more than
the conviction or acquittal Of Wat
son. 1t, is an effort of the Catholics
to shackle the press of America, and
to force us to take cur orders from
the Pope Of Rome. Shall we submit
to it? It remains to be seen.
Very truly,

CHARGE WILL REACT UPON
ROMANISM.

My Dear Brother: Permit me to
say two things.
First, my heart is with you in this
Infamous fight being made upon you
on the professed charge of sending
obscene matter through the mails
Behind it is the Romish crowd, and
it can but react upon Romanism. Let
the line be drawn, and let us see
where we are in the matter of Prot
estantism and Romanism. You have
many sympathizers in the disclosures
you are making on this line. People
who have opposed you on other ques-
lions are with you in this "Romanist"
business.
Secondly, let me say again (what
[ said to you in Atlanta at the close
of the famous to say, "infa-'
nous democratic Convention)
that I regard the treatment accorded
you by that mob as simply scandal
lous. 1t was as little as that crowd
could have done to have allowed you
to speak without interruption, when
to you was due much of the so-called
Underwood victory. [ believe in free
speech, whether or not I agree with
the speaker.
You will, I trust, believe / am sin
cere in thus speaking, when it is
known that I have not always agreed
with you in political matters.

you. May God bless you, and save
you from mistakes which will be
hurtful.

Dear Mr.. Watson: This is one
time I'm glad you are sick. There
is no telling what those devils would
do to you up there. have no faith
in the Catholics, they are as mean as
they know how to be, but not half
so mean or dangerous as some Of
our so-called Democrats, and besides
you are needed here You already
have the foundation laid and the
structure will up in Georgia for
great revolution in the affairs of
State. You are the greatest man in
America today, the people are be-
ginning to acknowledge it, they have
known it all the time, the door is
now open for you for anything you
want in Georgia. The disadvantage
you would have labored under,
would have been against you. I'm
a poor old man, but something in
my heart tells me to write this.
Heaven bless you, am going to be
one who will help you financially in
your fight in the case now on trial

Dear Mr.. Watson: We Of tho
Christian Standard are very much
Interested in your prospective trial
for improper use of the mail. I
read the Jeffersonian carefully every
week, also some other literature
which brings me facts concerning
the present conflict with Romanism.
l write to congratulate you on the
turn things have taken. Your strong
and telling way of putting things
was calculated to draw the fire of
the enemy, and now you have an
opportunity, as I believe, to bring
some things out in to the open that
have only been whispered before in
the secrecy of the Confessional
Be assured that the Christian
Standard with its army of 100000
is with you in sympathy and with
any possible assistance to the very
end. We will watch developments
with great interest.

THE BRISTOW AMENDMENT WAS
NOT PASSED UNTIL AFTER

WAS HELD, SON.

Dear Sir: In the Jeffersonian of
the 23rd, l have read with great
deal OF interest your article on the
Bristow amendment, and I agree
heartily with all you have to say.
My object in writing you however, is
to ask if you would mind telling me
how you can be SO opposed to this
act, and yet support one of the very
few Southern men who voted for it.
| am not writing this out of idle
curiosity, and I know it is none Of
my business to ask for your reasons,
but I could not vote for Mr. Under
wood now, even if he should secure
the nomination at Baltimore, unless
your reasons should convince me
that he is entitled to my vote.

A GOOD LETTER FROM A GOOD
FRIEND.


Dear Mr.. Watson: You did not
receive all the honors you deserve in
the recent convention in Atlanta but
you were victor. You made hosts of
friends who were formerly against
you. In spite of myself / had some
apprehension of danger and unfair
: ness, prayed for you increasingly
| made the 91st Psalm the basis of
my prayer, read it often for yourself
dear Brother. 1t applies to life in
so many ways. 1t has always been
a favorite chapter with me, but I
found new help and comfort the two
or three days just before and during
the convention. I took it verse at
a time, and oh how fitting, I got a
great deal out of it for myself 1t
drew me closer to God who covers
us with His feathers" etc. Tuesday
night, however, while I was praying
calm peace stole over me, and all
fear disappeared from consciousness,
and now / am rejoicing over your
victory Be humble and sweet spiri-
ted. In other words, "Be not over
come of evil-but overcome evil with
good" When I compare you with
some men | know you tower above
them like a majestic mountain over
foothilI. God bless you, do love
you.

Dear Sir: We who are your
friends have been keeping apace
with the proceedings of your arrest,
for your attack and merciless rid
ding of the Catholic church, with all
its horrors Of the dark ages, it's perse-
cutions, the rack, the stake and

lance and help. We are persuaded
that we have faint idea, of who
are the prosecutors in the case. 1t
is terrible, awful dreadful state
of things, that our churches of to-
