taught to me; sure their income
more by dollars and cents than by
acres, bushels and bales Further,
the farmers must be taught to do
like other successful bodies Of men
in the manag cement of their business.
There must be source from which
authority can issue that must be
Obeyed. A farmer can go to a rail-
road station and see the agent close
contract for the delivery of a
steam engine or paper Of pins from
Maine to California, and the deliv-
cry can be enforced. When the far
mers organize SO as to be able to

THE JEFFERSONIAN
ANOTHER GOOD SUGGESTION
FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION.

Dear Mr.. Watson: I have read
with pleasure in the last issue of
The JeffersOnian your suggestions
as to the proposed new Constitution,
all Of which must be drafted into
the Constitution for the betterment
OF conditions in this state. How
ever, l was very sorry not to see in
your list of suggestion the complete
Wiping out of the fine system in this
state. The various judges and pol
1t1cians may rant as much as they
like about the "pistoI toting" evil,
the ministers may rant as much as
they like about the moral conditions
IN our great cities, but none of this
platform and pulpit theory is worth
rap unless the fine system is for
ever eliminated in not only this
state, but in every state in Ameri-
ca. If a man is guilty in the sight
of the law Of a crime for which he
deserves punishment, why in the
name of God does the law allow him
the option of either paying a fine
or term of Imprisonment?
10 read the present day court rec
ords one would be forced to come
to the conclusion that our laws are
made not to check crime, but are
sustained for revenue only. If
man plans a crime in his mind, how
much more is he tempted to COM
nit that crime if he knows that he
will never spend a day behind the
walls of a prison, but in the place
thereof pay few dollars and be
turned loose free gentleman"
1t the members of the next Legis-
lature of Georgia have in their
hearts any desire whatever to check
the crime wave which is gradually
sweeping over this Nation, they will
unhesitatingly pass a law eliminat-
ing the fine clause in all laws now in
effect in this state.
Until this is done, the crime
wave will continue to sweep, and
within a few years for a person to
say he is an American citizen he
will be self-confessed cut-throat,
or an accomplice to all crime COM
mitted within our borders.
The whole world is watching
with eagerness your coming trial at
Augusta, and anything which l may
be able to do to assist you, I will
gladly do SO. If by some clique you
are declared guilty, the United
States will be forced to secure
new motto and instead of calling
this "The home of the free and land
OF the brave, in it's place announce
to the world that this is now "The
land of the Catholic priest and home
of the Protestant slave"
Trusting that you will see fit to
do all in your power to have the
fine system wiped out in Georgia,
and that in your coming trial you
will show up Romanism in it's true
light. Yours truly,
WILL H. STANFORD.

II. e. w. MAKING YOUR FIGHT.


T. e. w. MAKING YOUR FIGHT.
My Dear Sir: I will write you to-
night to let you know that / appre-
ciate what you have done and are
still doing for the people. I am q
poor writer, but 1 can't be satisfied
until [ do something. l realize that
you have done more for me than
any other man on earth, but you
know that there is no satisfying Of
man, the more you do, the more he
wants you to do, SO there is one
more thing [ want you to do for me,
and l can't promise you that I will
not call on you again, for you know
that people are hard to satisfy. Now
I will tell you what l want, want
you to print this in the Jeffersonian,
for [ call it our paper, and l want
space in the paper to say a few
words to the readers of the Jeff.
Well I am so sure that 1 will get the
space asked for that l will send it
along now.
Now to the readers of the Jeffer-
sonian, [ want to talk to you just a
little bit. Now you all know that
T. E. W. has done more for the peo-
pie than every other man in these
United States, and what he has done
for the people he has done for you
as an individual. Did you ever
think Of that? He has spent more
money and time for your freedom
and rights than your fathers ever
did. Now l want to ask you a ques-
ton: if you had an enemy in your
community and he was to jump on
you and friend was to pull him
off of you and he, your enemy was
to knock your friend down and
jump on him, would you turn your
back on your friend and leave him
the bag to hold? No, 1 don't be-
lieve you would. When 1 say you,
am talking to very reader of the
Jeffersonian. Now, T. E. w. has
been making your fight for over
twenty years, won't you come to his
rescue now in his hour of persecu-
ton, not prosecution? Now some
one may ask, how can I help? I
will tell you how we can all help,
and it won't hurt any of us. Just
let every man that believes that Mr..
Watson is right send him one dollar
and try to get some one else to send
one. O, but some one may say
that Mr.. Watson is a rich man and
don't need any help: but don't say
that: for if he was a millionaire
don't be too big a coward to help a
man when he is making your fight:
l am going to send him a dollar and
see if l can't get some one else to
send one, and l hope that every one
that reads this will do the same
thing, and let us prove our faith by
our work. Send along the dollar, let
the enemy know that we are willing
to furnish the ammunition and T.
E. w. will do the fighting. John J.

not likely that the bill will be ready

til the tariff is out of the way.
Reinserted In the bill is the original
proposition for retiring the present

ity to fix The rate Of discount, subject
to the approval Of the federal reserve
