Progress vs. st~gnsticn

The people of every com
mnnity may roughly be di-
vided into two classes-those
who inst'nctively oppose all
change because the. are we'd
ded to things as they are; aud
those who are never content
with the present because they
see room for Improvement.
The future of 'the commn-
nity depends upoi, whether
the Que OF The other class
shall determine its policies.
Fortunately for the euter-
prising class, those who op-
pose all progress exert their
inhue1ice III a negative rather
THAN III j positive inanner,
an1 even when they will re-
fuse to supptt the party Of
progress they haven't the
courage openly and actively
to oppose projects that clear
" are designed to benefit the
community as. a whole.
What is most reeded, there
fore, by enterprising citizens
who wish to promote the adj
vancment Of thslf community
is courage of their CONVICTIONS
and persistente. When they
have once shown by a publ
city aud educational campaign
that their projects are wise
and sound. al but the most
confirmed reactionaries will
cease their opposition,
In fact every Important

preceded by campaign ot
publicity calculated to make

WHAT THE JEFFS TELL. is
RIGHT.

Dear Sir:-I just must try and
write you letter and express to you
how much do really appreciate what
you are doing for the people, whether
all of them appreciate it or not
What you tell us in your Jeffs is
right. | know it is right, because
you so to the bottom of things, and
none Of the scholars" Of this day
attempt to disproye your assertions.
/ do wish from my heart, that the
people would read and study your
literature.
I like your Jeffs as much for what
you don't do as I do for what you do.
Take this everlasting and never end
ing advice" our secular papers are
always giving the farmers, for
instance. 1t actually is enough to
sicken one the way they fill columns.
Week after week with this ''free"
advice.
Please don't get discouraged Mr..
Watson in your work. Keep right
on exposing error wherever you know
it to exist, especially let us know all
you have in store concerning the
damable Roman Catholic doctrine.
Long may you live is my wish.

EDITORIAL WAS TIMELY AND OF
INTEREST.

Dear Sir:-YOur editorial a few
days ago on gin reporting was timely,
and of much interest to all cotton
growers. Mr.. Watson why is it that
such papers as The Constitution, The
journal and many other big papers
that claim to be such good friends TO
the farmers, never give out such
information as this? When you write
or even say anything in favor Of some
candidate they are supporting, They
never fail to publish it, a poor rule
that doesn't work both ways. Even
the agricultural papers, such as The
Cultivator, Home and Farm, South
ern Agriculturist, Farm and Fire5iGe
and many others I could mention.
All seem mum on such information
as you are giving out week after
week, that is Of so much import
ance to the masses the basting you
gave to the court of appeals in this
weeks Progressive Democrat was
interesting, also what you had to say
in regard to minors being forced to
work on roads or other public work
was no less interesting, and should
be read by every man and boy in the
State; will the big papers our pre-
tended friends publish it? We shall
watch and see, Mr.. Watson, if fate
has SO decreed thai you alone must
give us this information. l trust that
the advise Creator will give you
health, strength and a long life to
carry on your noble work.

A MOTHER LONGS FOR HER SON.

Dear Sir:-I am sending you
photograph of our son, Horace
Greedy Covington, who left his home
in company with another boy on the
28th, Of December. If any of the
readers of The Jeffersonian can help
us locate him, they will ease the ache
of broken hearted mother who has
never ceased to mourn for her boy.
Horace was a good boy, but he got in
with bad companions land if he knew
how his mother was worrying about
him he would not stay away from
her.
Horace left our home at Dublin,
and we heard from him at Savannah,
making his way with another boy,
into Florida. We are poor farmer
people, but we would do anything to
get our boy back.

My Dear Watson: I have been a

rian since then, [ still find more of
thought-food in The Jeffs than ever.
So many things the American people

will continue to grow till Jefferso-
MAN Democracy triumphs over the
Hamiltonian Aristocracy that rules
our nation today.
AS feature of our money system,
see the illogical schemes for improv-
ing our common roads. There is an
internal Improvement "more national
in it's scope than that of the common
roads. More than ever since the
adoption Of rural mails have they
become national highways.
This fact is admitted by all. But
what is proposed as national aid in
road making? appropriations out of
the nations treasury. But money
can not be drawn from until it is
paid in as taxes. What then is
gained by the tax payer. Whether
he pay into township, county, state or
national treasury? But says the
"good roads" booster: "No need of
worrying about Texas; issue bonds,
bonds, bonds-and let the future pay
the bills" But to whom issue "bonds"
to Uncle Sam, the creator of all
our money or to the pet banks who
borrow all our paper currency in
twenty-year loans without paying any
interest? Congress has the same
power to coin paper money as metal
money and make it as fully legal ten
der. Then, why not ask Congress in
the exercise of it's constitutional
authority-to issue a legal tender
road currency to be employed in
making good roads. No bonds, no
added taxes, but employment for
surplus labor. The elixir of life in
trade and industry, everybody blessed

My Dear Sir:-Was glad to see in
your reply to my letter regarding the

that you realized that there is no diff
ference in us SO far as principle and
purpose is concerned, but I still make
this point, that the Initiative. Refer
