THE ERSONIAN

Fathers, seventy third edition, page 377, the
author says:
"God avenged the crime of two and forty
boys, who mocked the prophet Eliseus, by
sending wild beasts to tear them to pieces
The frightful death Of Maria Monk, the
caluminator Of consecrated priests and vir-
gins, who ended her life, drunken maniac

| have carefully read her book, and my
experience as a lawyer convinces me that it
carries internal evidence of it's veracity.
Besides, it is corroborated all along the
line, by the revelations of other escaped nuns
and priests.
1t is further corroborated by every his
torian who has treated the subject Of monas-
teries and nunneries.
So high an authority as Henry Hallam,
corroborates Maria Monk.
Only few weeks ago there was an acct
dental tracing of a murder to a monastery
in Poland, and the resulting investigation
took the lid off the life in that brothel, and
the facts, as they came to light, under this
investigation, corroborate Maria Monk.
The great Charlemange, a devoted friend
of popes and churchmen, at length discovered
the true nature of life within the cloister
converts, and he denounced them in way
that fully corroborates poor Maria Monk.

The investigations set on foot by the
Grand Duke Leopold Of Tuscany, near the
close of the 18th century, reveal every horror
that is mentioned by Maria Monk.
Why should anybody doubt the substan-

which she describes in the Montreal convent
have been denounced by virtuous popes for
there have been some virtuous ones-by GEN

highest authorities in that church, by such

Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)
Z THOMASVILLE. Ga, Aug. SO.-ln
the report of State Game Warden Mer-
Ger, Just issued, Thomas county is
credited with 81 of the 100 nonresident
game licenses taken out for the year.
making just about one-third of the
whole number issued OF the county
licenses Thomas has SO, and of state
licenses SO, the amount paid in from
this county for these licenses being
S85225. In the number of licenses
Thomas county ranks third in the state,
coming next to Chatham and Fulton.
Only one violation of the game law Is
reported from this county.
In the report a prominent divine Of a
nearby county is mentioned as violat-
ing the law by killing a turkey hen.
1t is said that the minister, who is a
very good sportsman, did not go out
after turkey hens" or turkeys of any
sort, but there was a covey Of the
birds which insisted upon getting in his
way and were so evidently bent upon
getting shot that in spite of himself
his gun went OFF, with the result that
a big fat hen turned up her toes and,
of course, after she was killed she had
to be eaten. There have been several
instances Of the sort happening around
at times but it was generally thought
to be unnecessary to bother the warden
about such trifies.

Odom has lived in Brooks county about
ten years. He was married and had a
family when he came here. Mrs. Odom
came to Quitman after the arrest and
removal of her husband and she strongly
denies the truth of these charges.
Odom's arrest was accomplished In
Madison, Fla, and he was lured there
by decoy letter. Two years ago OdOm' :
son, John Odom, was killed by a man
named Howell, who escaped. The decoy
letter urged Odom to come to Madison
on a certain day on important private
business. He supposed II had something
to do with the capture of Howell, who
was supposed to have escaped to Florida,
and he went only to the arrested by the
South Carolina detectives.
1t is not known why the officers chose
to get requisition papers from the gov
ernor Of Florida and not from the gov
ernor of Georgia, unless it was because
of the recent argument between these
two officials anent acquisitions. But the
arrest was evidently carefully planned

There are tens Of thousands Of waste

port the grazing sheep, If we could
protect sheep from the vagrant dog. But
the deed is done!
The governor aided these unwise leg
islators by not vetoing this repeal of
the tax on dogs. The law had not been
given a decent trial in Georgia. but ev-
erybody knows that the number had
greatly decreased; because the tax was
hindrance to the quantity.
Decatur is as we might say in a
stones throw of Atlanta, within call of
the state house, so to speak. Yester-
day, August %, there were IL persons
bitten by a mad dog in the town of
Decatur.
IT will reach a point where nobody
will be safe from dogs on the public
road from vagrant dogs. Yesterday a
strange flop-eared hound rushed to my
buggy as / was driving over my own
land. If you carry a pistol for dogs,
the officer will take you up and fine you
and If you shoot down a sorry mans
dog you may have a new barn to build.
We have had three fired within the last
IL years. and you must even lock your
coops and poultry houses, not only to
keep four-legged dogs out but the two
legged variety. which the Georgia legis-
lature applauded.

the paralyzing sphere Of mod
ern thought" knows that the way
to influence and save men and
women is to preach religion into
them, and not out Of them. And
that is what the church will do
when this spasm of the unscieLl-
tific has passed.
Such a deliverance Is wholesome in
the 'ast degree. AMI Z. ought to- cause
some of the kalf-educated im;a.ors
of the critics to take notice of the
folly into which they have been be-
trayed The men, whom they have
followed so blindly. are not scientific
in spirit or method. Science and
1.-THE scientific spirit are but cant
phases upon their lips; but of real
science they know precious little.
There are several sentences In the
timely EDITORIAL of the Advance to
which special attention should be
drawn. One is this: Nothing could
be more unscientific than for churches
to put men over them to lead them
who do not know where they are go
ing themselves.
Business men are putting a good
deal of money into the erection and
maintenance Of churches. Is ii good
business to invest money in diminish
ing the sum Of faith In the commu-
nifty? Shall we pay for the propaga-
ton of doubts when we are already
too faithless? Shall we compensate
men for leading our children into
scepticism? Are our children so dis
posed to be over-religious that we
should engage men to make them less
devout? Are the clerks in our count
ing houses so rigidly and vigorously
honest and reliable that we need to
employ teachers to weaken their, NOR
al convictions and enfeeble their re-
ligious beliefs? Are our public
servants so virtuous that we require
pastors to prune away their conscienr
tious scruples? Are our churches so
strong, healthy, and potential that we
need to reduce their vitality by put
ting them on a minimum ration of
spiritual truth?
And here is another weighty SEN
tence: Nothing could be more un-
scientific than to try to persuade the
world that the men and the women
who have done the most good in the
past were the worst mistaken in their
premises.
