me, such as Weaver, Bryant, Butler

THINKS ''FATHER" PHELAN
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS

Dear Sir: [ am writing to you in
regard to Rev. D. S. Phelan's ans
wers to your questions in the jeff.
I don't believe he knew what he was
talking about, and Mr.. Watson, 1
don't see where anybody can read the
Bible and be a Roman Catholic and
owe allegiance to a pope in foreign
country. If they will read Exodus
the goth chapter from the first
through the 9Th verse | don't see how
they can be that way. Mr.. Watson /
wish Mr.. Phelan was down here, it
would not be good for him. | am a
young man only 20 years old, but I
can see what they are trying to do. I
hope you may live long to fight for
US, and l am gong to do all | can to
help. | wish l knew more such men.
Mr. Watson I have visited your home
once. l certainly liked my visit to
Thomson. | would like for you to
know how we Emmanuel County

1 will continue all my prayers that
you may come out in the big end of

OUR FRIEND DIR. YATES SEEMS
TO BE UNEASY

Dear Sir: | am scared almost to
death since reading the opinion of
4. II. Johnson of Moultrie, Georgia,
on the Glass-Owen Currency bill. 1
believe he is right, as / have read
that the American Hierarchy have
over 100 billions of money at their
command; if SO, or less than that,
they could juggle the bank business,
and with the Knights of Columbus
outnumbering our army three to one,
they could step into the government
and control the whole thing. Don't
you think the people better revolt,
and demand that President and Con-
gress throw over their currency and
tariff, and call a National convention
to settle on a right form of govern
ment. But the only safe step to take
is to impeach and throw out the con-
spirators, they will keep right on
Matching up schemes to control.

master, Mr.. J. w. Morgan. He was
81 years of age, school teacher for
many years and postmaster here for

Saturday, and said he would read it

was the last thing he did. He col
lapsed and never regained conscious

a good church worker, and loved by
all. He was one of the best men in
