WANTS MORE ACTIVITY IN
DAILY PAPERS.
Brookline, Mass.

Dear Sir: Why don't the big
daily and sen1i-weekly and tri-week-
ly papers in Georgia condemn the
outrageous murders committed by
soldiers in Augusta in unmeasured
tones, as the Jeffersonian is doing?
The outrageous affair that has
just been tried in the Cummings
court is revolving in more ways than
one. First, the raping of the pure
sweet girl is too horrid to contem-
plate. Second, airing the case in
the courts is shocking to the victim
and her heart broken parents Were
such i'll luck to happen to any of my
female relatives I would desire and
pray that the perpetrators be tried
under the limb of the tree or the
beam of telephone pole. Success
to the anti ginners report.
Yours truly,
E. N. KING.

MORE OF OUR WEAK KNEED
UNCONVENTIONAL PAPERS.


Dear Editor Jeffersonian: I read
the Jeffersonian and the Magazine.
and 1t is not necessary for me to
say that | approve of the great
work that you are doing, for / have
said so several times before. I read
IN this weeks jeff an article from
Mr Cone of Live Oak, Fla, under
the heading, Weak Kneed Denomi-
national Papers, and I must saw
That there is more truth than
poetry in his statements. Mr..
Cone has made one mistake how
ever, which | wish to correct. He
says; inspiration from the God of
Heaven teaches that every human
being is wholly mortal, soul and all
dies"
Mr.. Cone (like many others is
laboring under Instrumentation of
very plain teaching, which we find
recorded in Fec. 3-19, 20. In these
two verses, the writer is discussing
the mortality and the beast-like ma,
ture OF man in the flesh" He saws
that they have no pre-eminence over
the beast. That all die and go to
dust alike. When he has made this
comparison, he then turns to the dis
cusslon Of the man in the Spirit
(Which is rendered soul.) He says:
who knoweth the spirit (souD of
man that goeth upward, and the
spirit (souD Of the beast that goeth
downward to the earth?
This is plain question. This
Question presumes that the soul of.
man goes upward, and that the soul
of the beast goes downward to the
earth. Upon that supposition as a
fact, he asks the question, as to who
knows either Of these souls. 1t
seems plain to me, that he is ex-
planning that we could see and real
1ze the termination of the existance
of the temporal bodies of both men
and beast, but that we did not know
anything about the spiritual (souD
OF either: only, the presumption that
there was such thing connected
with both man and beast, and that
one went up, and the other went
down. The presumption that the
soul OF man dies with the body is
not only unwarranteo by the scrip
lures used to sustain It, but it fur
ther destroys and contradicts very
plain teachings on that point, found
In other parts of the book. This
very same writer says in his 18th
chapter and 7th verse, as follows:
Then shall the dust return to the
earth as it was; and the spirit (souD
shall return to God who gave it,"
This statement fully explains the
the other. 1t plainly says that the
dust part of man shall return to
dust, and that the spirit part shall
return to God. I cannot see how
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-10-17

anything could be palmer There
are many other undisputable pas
sages on this point which / will not
take space to quote in this article,
but I would like for Mr. Cone to
read carefully, 1st Peter, 3-18, 4-6;
John 5-24. The presumption that
the souls of men die with the body
would forever destroy the teaching
in the Bible, that King Saul had the
soul of Samuel called up. It would
destroy the statement found in 1st
Peter, 3-18, where Christ preached
to the spirits (souls) in prison. 1t
would destroy and contradict the
statement in Revelations where
John saw the souls of those who had
died for Christ, and they "cried
out. !" We should not "hook up"
ourselves on a doubtful interpreted
ton of single passage of scripture,
and try to bring the rest of the
scriptures to it. In SO doing, we
build up the worst sort of denomi-
nationalism; the very thing which
Mr.. Cone is so bitterly fighting.

A PREACHERS ENDORSEMENT
Dear Sir: | highly appreciate

A PREACHERS ENDORSEMENT.
Dear Sir: l highly appreciate
your Magazine, especially the arti-
cles on Roman Catholicism. They
are SO instructive, and enlightening.
AS a minister Of the Gospel Of
Christ, believe it to be my duty to
inform my people about this great
mystery Babylon.
You have made friends whom you
know not of, by your bold and fear
less attack, on this great red drag
on, so-called by John the revelator.
How truly John calls this monster
in Christian disguise, the great red
dragon (Greensnake.) Red denotes
blood. And all who are familiar
with this history of the Roman Cath
olic church know that in the wake
of the Roman Catholic church is
blood, rapine, torture and misery.
Like serpent this hideous monster
is quietly, silently, and secretly coil
ing it's deadly coils around our liber-
ties, our Preside, our womanhood,
and our young manhood.
I would like information about
the Guardians Of Liberty, how to
join them and how to organize them
in our little town.
Yours sincerely,

MASSACHUSETTS FRIEND DIFF
FERS IN SOME THINGS.

which the Editor attacked every
position opposed to his own views

regret the hostile attitude of Mr..
Watson toward the colored brother
In Christ.
1t is useless to question the fact
that the fidelity of the slave to his
masters family during the war was
the factor that made the resistance
Of the South feasible, nay possible;
and it would seem that such loyalty
in such an environment merits the
mood of sympathetic consideration,
at least. Duty leaves the Southern
people no option short of an i'm
personal manifestation of friendly
interest in the career, you may say,
of it's ward, and if expediency for
bids the full franchise to the negro
electorate, the College and School
graduates should receive theirs on
platter with enconiums, and the I'M
educated portion should be granted
a fractional vote if only for en-
couragement, and stimulation of the
youth.
l believe, however, that the South
will never solve her problems until
she changes the focus of her regard
for Lincoln and his works: the one
recognition of the Great Enancipa-
tor as one of her greatest sons; as
the product of her loins, and with
a heritage Of genius direct from
Southern sires. The world places
och Y9Hy IT nd In hA
the same plane; the first formative,
the second conservati re, of the
national existence; then in the South
it were cold courtesy not to place
them on their ordained pedestals,
in juxtaposition, two of the grand
est exemplars of roble life and no
blest achievement the world has ever
witnessed. And that the Southern
people Will eventually pay the
tribute to the Moral Grandeur of the
second greatest Of her sons is be-
lievable certainty.
l have also questioned your stand
on the Trust" which is simply the
commercial extension of the natural
law of incromental attraction. You
plead for absolute liberty for the in
dividual, in that pleading you forti-
fly to impregnability the position of
your adversary. The investor of
funds has the right under law to
purchase anything; of what avail are
protests against vested ownership

Roosevelt sounds the only note.

thodicaly grasp of detail as far re-
moved from the Roosevelt type with

THE RIGHT WAY TO
CULTIVATE CORN
By c. II. SUBWAY, Instructor in Soils,
Michigan Agricultural College

A successful corn grower once said:
before 1t is planted" He had in mind
the proper fitting Of the soil for the
crop, rather than the cultivation
which is usually given after the corn
Is seen In the row. Preparing a good
seed bed is an important part of corn
growing. but there are other thing(
which must also be considered.
The best soil for corn is a deerl
rich, sandy or silly loan. This does
not mean, however, that corn cannot
be grown on any other kind Of soil. 1t
means that the largest yields are OBJ.

yields can be had from many different

The secret of preparing a good seed
bed is to pillow early and work often.
One can hardly pillow too early In the
spring, providing the soil Is in the
proper condition for blowing. If the
corn is to follow sod. then the sod
should not be left until 1t has crop
Of hay on it and the hay turned under
late in the season. Many fields have
been ruined for the season by doing
this. The growing hay takes out the
water, and If the season Is dry, the

every heavy rain. This Thorough
working, together with the rains, will
cause q good, firm seed bed to be es-
tablished. The continuous narrowing
will aerate the soil and make plant
food available for the young plant.
Before planting the corn, dig down
into the soil to the depth of the fur
row slice. If the soil is loose and open
near the bottom of the furrow slice
the seed bed has not been prepared
properly If it is firm and moist be-
low, and dry and loose near the sur
face. then there Is a good seed bed
for corn, which is one OF the first
requisites for growing profitable
crop. The producing of such a seed
er meant by saying that the best
time to cultivate corn Is before 1t is
planted.
Good seed must be planted on this
good seed bed, otherwise our careful
work will be somewhat wasted.
Perhaps, for the most of us, the
next thing of Importance will be to
set after the weeds. Here the weed
er may be used to advantage on the
lighter soils. The field is gone over
once or twice so as to kill the weeds
as soon as they have terminated from
the seed. The best time to kill weeds
is when they are small. Ii is worth
while to get at them as soon as posi-
bic after they have terminated, and
the first two or three civilizations
count the most in this respect. After
the plants appear in the rows. then
the corn should be we'll cultivated
with a good cultivator. On the heav-
Ter soils the spike-toothed harrow
might take the place of the weeder,
or the cultivator might be used from
in the rows, or the plants are small,
put on the tenders to keep the plants
from being covered with soil, and do
a good job. Don't be afraid of cult
waiting too deep the first time over
and use cultivator that is adapted to
the soil. The deep cultivating Will
let air into the soil and hasten the
decay of organic matter and the build
ing up of plant food. AS soon as the
corn roots begin to spread between
the rows, the cultivator should be run
shallower, so as not to prune the
roots too much and set the plants back
in their growth. AS far as the saw
ing of moisture is concerned, two
inches seem to be the most econom-
ical depth to cultivate after the first
two or three times. If thistles or
Tilkweeds bother, try the thistle
sweeps. There are kinds found on the
market which will do the work effec-
lively Keep the cultivators running
in the fields until the corn Is too high
for the two-horse machines. After
this, many still use the one-horse cul-
tivator until the corn gets too big or
the weather too hot TO do effective
work.
The vital things in the growing of
a good crop of corn are summarized
as follows: A good seed bed, good
seed. thorough cultivation to kill the
weeds, to save water and to aerate the
soil.
