half While he has been, in the past, the
unfortunate victim, of what is really a dis
ease, he Is completely cured. and J. venture
the hope that the-cure is permanent.
This information win probably give pang
to such brutal wretch as Jesse Mercer; but
to all right-thinking and right feeling people,
it will give pleasure, irrespective of what
their feelings are toward the young mans
father
Reckless in his mendacity, Mercer accuses rne
of having robbed James W. Green, and prac-
tically intimates that this wrong, inflicted
upon the unfortunate man by me, caused his
death.
The truth is, he himself fixed my share
of the fee, sending me the check, and also re-
turning to me the amount which I had volun-
tarily paid to keep up his insurance policy,
when he was confined to his bed, with the
dropsy that killed him, and was unable to
keep up the insurance himself. This fact can
be verified by anyone who will inquire Of the
President and Cashier Of the McDuffe bank,
or who will write to the former Cashier, Mr..
VIM. S. Lazenby, Of Harlem, Ga.
Under their contract, Green and Watson
were to share their fees half and half In
this Boyd case, Mr.. Green's partner, j. D.
Watson, voluntarily surrendered to the sick
man, James w. Green, his half of the fee

A GentleEnan's, Reply tooa Vulgar
POltrOOn: Jesse Mercer, the
HOke Smith Game Warden.

This was contrary to the trend of the times
and the policy Of the State. The office of
Attorney to the Railroad Commission should
have been made elective; the people should
have said whom they would trust with that
most powerful and responsible position. But
Smith made the Office appointive, and he
appointed man who has taken the greatest
care not to offend the corporations
In like manner, the office of Game Warden
created, and made appointive It
should have been elective. The people of this
State had right to say who should be the
Game Warden.
Smith not only filled it by appointment,
but he named and commissioned one of the
viest skunks that ever infested the Common
wealth. Jesse Mercer is wholly unfit for any
position of trust and responsibility. He
proved this when. as executor of the Boyd
estate, he endeavored to rob some of the lesser
heirs. Some of these Were women. One of
them, who lived in Alabama, appealed to me
to redress her wrongs, and | went to her re-
lief in the Court House.
The record of Jesse MERGERS rotten doings
was so utterly criminal and indefensible, that
his lawyers hurried over to Thomson and
parleyed for peace
let Jesse Mercer off for $4,000, and be-
cause the would-be thief was compelled to
disgorge, he has hated me ever since That
IS all right; [ take the vicious dislike of
such man as a compliment, and wear it as a
distinction.
incidentally, he is violating the Law right
now, IN conducting venemous and scurrilous
little paper, down at Fitzgerald He pre-
tends to have sold it. Onlg a few weeks
ago he pretended to have leased it. The
lease was a fake, and the sale is probably
another fake. The paper will, no doubt, con-
tlnue to act as sewer-pipe for the malice of
this unprinciped scoundrel.
In one of the recent issues of his poor
little paper he attacks dead man, the late
James W. Green, whom he refers to as "a
good old man, who had fallen a victim to
the dope habit, and had come down from
somewhere in North Georgia, and formed
co-partnershlp with TOMS drunken son, who
was then In an inebriate asvlum''
Comment upon such paragraph is almost
supe1fluous Even had it been true, that the
late James W. Green was victim of the dope
habit, no gentleman would have published
such thing to lacerate the feelings of his
widow, his children and his most lovable
sister.
AS matter of fact, James W. Green lived
practically within my own family circle dur
ing the greater part of the time he was here,
and 1 never knew a soberer or more indus
trious lawyer. The evidence which he OBJ
tanned at Leary was secured most legitimately,
and if Jesse Mercer was not afraid to face
1t IN court, his lawyers were

UNITED STATES SENATE,

Honorable Thos E. Watson.
Thomson, Georgia.
My Dear Sir:
have again to apologize for not replying
earlier to your letter of the 9th inst relative
to the Catholic altar on the Utah. The delav
has been entirely due to unremitting official
duties from morning till night. which have
thrown me behind with much of nv CORE
spondence.
In further statement Of my position, I will
say would not be willing that any denomi-
nation should have the exclusive right to set
up It's altar On battleship, or in any other
public place subject to the Jurisdiction of the
Government. My purpose in what formerly
wrote to you was to express my approval Of
rellglous freedom giving to all people of
every faith the right to worship in their own
way, and without any right or opportunity
of exclusive privileges in this regard. I ap-
prehend that in this proposition there will
be no material difference between us.
With kind regards, {
Very truly yours,
A. 0. BACON.

Senator Bacon, did you read the letter
which was written to me by the Secretary of
the Navy? You will find it in the Nav num-
Der of Wotsoqas Magazine.
Mfr. Won Meyer has allowed himself to be
gulled by Captain Benson, the Romanist
commander of the battleship Utah.
The Captain falsely informed the Secre-
tary that the altar was a trivial, folding
wooden affair that cost twelve dollars.
That IS 4 RANK ROMANIST LIE.

RESCUER DROPS LAMP;
BURNS MAN TO DEATH
Rev. II. Crete OF Iowa Prays During
Cremation Under Automobile.

Pauline, Iowa Rev. II. Crete, pas
tor Of the Lutheran church in Ger
mantown, Iowa, was burned to death
before the eyes of his children and
several other persons while pinned
beneath a wrecked motor car. The
blaze was started from a lantern with
which his rescuers were working.
Slain During Rescue:
The car was driven by August
Pauling of Germantown. In it were
children of both Rev. Mr.. Crete and
Mr.. Pauling.
About six miles from Pauline the
steering gear of the machine refused
to work and the automobile jumped
from a small bridge, turning over.
Mr. Crete was pinned beneath the
wreck. The children were thrown
away from the wrecked auto. Mr..
Pauling was injured and died at noon.
The cries of the children were heard
by persons living in the neighbor-
hood. They rushed to the scene. One
of the rescuers had a lantern.
Prays rs He Burns.
Gasoline from the oil tank of the
machine had spread to the wreck. A
man holding the lantern dropped it.
Instantly the wreck was in flames.
The rescuers made frantic efforts
to aid Rev Mr.. 'Grefe but were driven
back, several persons suffering severe
burns in the attempt to raise the
burning machine from his body Rev.
Mr. Crete went to his death with
prayers on his lips. The injured were
taken to Paulina for treatment.
