A FRIEND WHO HAS WAITED A
LONG TINE TO WRITE.

Dear Mr.. Watson: [ have care
fully followed your writings for over
a year. [ hesitated in writing to you
until | was convinced you were
writing the true facts about the
priests. I am a drummer, and there
fore travel around a great deal, and
| made it my business to investigate
quietly about some things you wrote
about the priests. Now ! overheard
a conversation when | was in the de-
pot at Sanford, Fla. 1t was between
a man who I afterwards found out
had worked for the Roman Catholic
bishops and priests all over the
South. He told me that he had been
boycotted by the priest because he
exposed some OF them, and to get
even with this young man they have
sworn not to give him any more
work. His trade was repainting
statues and affairs, and he showed
me letters of recommendation from
Bishop Eilly, Of Savannah, Bishop
Shaw, San Antonio, and over forty
others that [ found out to be genu-
inc as I asked about him in the diff
ferent places when / was there. New
/ know they have found out that he
has learned too much, and, as he told
me, they viii do all in their power
to keep the work from him. Talk
about your malice and prejudice,
that beats all. Now here is one that
is absolutely true about the Jesuits
that I found out when | was in San
ford, Fla. I think If you will write
a letter to ex-Mayor Lake he can

here's how it was told to me. 1t
seems when the parish priest went to
ireland this last summer he had
Jesuit by the name of Father Fox "a
member of the same province as
those in Augusta take his place
This Father Fox disguised himself
with false mustache, and was
caught in the act Of drinking in an
alley; | was also told that he had
been in an improper part Of the
town. Anyway he was drunk and
disguised and arrested. They let-the
fellow go as the Catholic people said
he was out Of his mind. lThen why
was he not put in an asylum No
he is not crazy. You will find him
at Spring Hill College, Ala. lie also
has a sister who is not crazy; she
belongs to the Sisters of Mercy Con
vent, Mobile, Ala. Capt Hines,
big hearted Catholic fixed it up with
the present Mayor Spencer, and this
drunken Jesuit was allowed to so
free. Now Mr.. Watson just see the
thanks that this one Capt. Hines got
for his kindness. The priest that is
there now is an Jrishman by the
name of Bresanor Capt. Hines

WHAT A FLORIDA READER
Thinks OF REV. LEE.
WHAT
BRANTLEY.

BRANTLEY.
Dear Friend and Brother: I see
in your last Jeffersonian that no true
bill would have been found had not
Rev. Lee Brantley, of Tennille, Ga,
voted against you and in favor of the
Roman Hierarchy man l hold in
high respect; who was under my
ministry from a boy for 10 years
and whom | had taptised; of fair
accomplishments, AID, as l thought
firm Baptist, as / trust is yet. But
just how a Baptist, or any other
Protestant can vote with the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy to prosecute and
persecute Christian man for pub
fishing the truth, I can't see. Mr..
Watson published only what had
been published in Catholic books,
and carried through the mails for
more than 80 years, but it was sup
posed that it would only be known
to the priest. They did not want the
outside world to know what nasty,
filthy, unbecoming questions and
language the priest used to the
wives and daughters that come to
their Confessional box or room, and
because Watson published an extract
from a Roman Catholic book in
Latin, he must be prosecuted by our
Federal courts. And here a Protest
ant, q Baptist, and preacher to lend
aid, and influence to the Hierarchy
of Rome to suppress truth, or any
thing that would inform the people,
the Protestants, of the hellish de-
signs or fraudulent means they are
using TO get control of this govern
ment and to destroy the grand
principles upon which it is founded
by the blood of our fathers. Brother
Brantley is too we'll informed not to
know how the Baptist have suffered
in past ages at the hands of the Ro-
man Catholic Hierarchy, in almost
every nation, and now to become a
partisan in aiding the Roman church
to gain assendancy in this country,
to bring himself and children under
the d0gInatic and hellish rule and
government Of the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy is more than | can under
stand. If he held malice Or bias, he
should have left that behind in a
case so important and vital. | think
that Brother Lee Brantley is due an
explanation for the part he took,
and the vote he cast in that jury
room. It's no trivial matter; it is a
question whether the press Of this
country be suppressed and allowed
to write only such as pleases the Ro-
man Catholic Hierarchy, or whether
America shall remain free and an
independent nation, as the constitu
ton guarantees to every citizen. The
to@t is On and for the last few years
la has been making grand head
way. She has and is trying to sup
press every paper that is exposing
her deyillish policy. And shall we
as PrOtestants or loyal citizens of
America, and especially Baptists
lend to the Roman Hierarchy our en-
enlargement or support in carrying
cut their hellish designs.
Americans think! I don't think
you want to help plunge this grand
country into one of the most bloody
wars and carnage that has been
known in modern warfare.
Keep right on my brother, and
the Cod Of Heaven be with and give
you a gland victory.
Fraternally,
]. M. SMITH.

tion of Commissioner Hurd was I'M
anmously adopted upon roll call.
Commissioner Feuchter intro
duced a written motion approving
the bonds which unanimously was
carried on roll call.
Commissioner Howley rendered
his resignation as member OF the
Public Library board, believing that
his retention of this office conflicted
with his duties as commissioner az

There being doubt In. regard 70
this, the resignation was filed with
