BROOKLINE. Mass, Sept IS. -
Playing golf OF cahbre seldom seen
In America, two Of the trio OF English
professionals forged to the front to-
day In the firat half Of the nineteenth
annual open tournament OF the Unit
ed States Golf association and at dusk
led the field by margin OF two
strokes.
Harry Vardon and Wifred Reid
turned In cards OF l47 for the first
36 holes. Edward Ray divided second
place with Herbert Strong OF the In
wood club, each having l49. MCDon-
aid Smith OF New York and j. II.
Barnes OF Tacoma were bracketed in
third place with 100. After the lead
ers came a long list of professionals,
broken here and there by the name Of
q prominent amateur.
Francis Ouiuet had the honor of
showing tho way for the amateurs
with card Of lCl, which placed him
in a tie with Willie Hagin, Alex Ross
and George Sargent for fourth place.
Louis Teller, tn, French profession
al, turned in lj2, which gave him the
fifth place in company with {. ID.
Thorn, Of ShnuecOck Hills. Here

McDermott, present open champion,
and Jack Hutchinson, divided the
honors of sixth place with 1853, while
Jerome Travcrs, the amateur cham
pion, bad to be satisfied with card
OF 1856.
Edward Ray, the giant Englishman.
stood out as the hero Of the days
play. Starting 20 1rly on his morn
ing round, he came back with a real
" wonderful afternoon round in sew
enty, breaking the course record and
lifting him from ninth to second
place. His two countrymen, Harry
Vardon and Reid, while far more CON
sistent than Ray and two strokes
better than he. lacked the brilliant
rally and thrill 10 their work that
caused Ray to be applauded by the
gallery as he finished.
Weather conditions were perhaps
more favorable to the British invad-
ers than to the entrants from the
states. II rained heavily until short
ly before the starting hour and the
fairways and green lost much Of their
keenness. Overhead were gray clouds
and the air was heavy with humidity.
The English players with their long
carries from the tee gained an ad-
vantage over the United States repre-
sentatives who lost the effectiveness
Of their drives when the ball dropped
dead and without rolling on the heavy
turf.
vardon and Ray divided the early
day gallery between them and the
spectators were well repaid for their
long journey around the course. for
both played phenomenal game at
times.

HERE'S A LOUISIANA MAN WHO
ENDORSES GOV. BLEASE'S
ATTITUDE.

Dear Champion of the Peoples
Rights: I've just been reading
my Jefersonian weekly of Jan. End.
L want to express my contempt for
such men as the Rev. Lee Brantley
IN his attempt to explain away his
treachery to the cause he processes
to espOuse as a Baptist preacher,
when he caters to the Roman1st in,
voting for the bill against you.
Such conduct deserves that he and
all such as he, be silenced from
preaching and communicated from
the Baptist church.
| also want to say that I heartily
endorse what you say on page eight
in regard to Gov. Blease of South
carolina, and On lynching negro
fiends for the crimes mentioned. I
know you express the sentiment of
n1nety-eight per cent of all good citi-
zens OF Louisiana. [ am with you
heart and soul in the fight you are
making on the Roman Hierarchy,
and am going to- do all I can to help
you. l don't expect the trial to be
pulled off in March, if at ALL I
think you ought to be we'll guarded
at that time, and I would take pleas
ure IN helping to do SO. | am So
years old, but I can shoot true yet.
Wishing you happy and prosper

Believe me ever yours truly,

Dear Sir: In the last Jeffersonian

very sorry indeed to hear it and
hope that you are much better by
this time, don't know what we would
do without you to fight our battles.
Am sure you are the cause of SO
many papers having the courage to
speak out aga nst a great many
things that the Roman Catholics are
doing to ruin our country. My
husband and l love and honor you,
and think you are one of the great

time we hear of new paper spring

ing for the liberty Of our country;
we say there is another paper speak
ing out against the enemy Of our
country, and Mr.. Watson started the
whole thing. We would like to have
all of your books, and will I hope
some of these days, but we think
enough of you to want your two last
and best works, real soon My
husband will send you money enough
to renew our subscription to the two
Jeffs, and get your two last books
and some to help you in your law
suit. We have been trying to do
what we could to help while others
are fighting for our liberty. Hope
you are taking long needed rest
and improving very fast, so after a
while you will be we'll and strong
and ready to fight for our liberty
again as we need you in the battle.
Just can't do without you. Wishing
you very happy New Year.

Georgian who has known you from
his earliest childhood, and who
loves you and your writings dearly.
I heard you speak in cambridge,
Ca, when you were running for the
presidency and l liked the speech,
I liked the man, and now when l am
so far away and have so many school
duties to attend to-still I cannot
do without your magazines, so
have them sent to me from friends
in the South.
Somehow the people up here, as
a rule, are not we'll acquainted with
you and your writings, and it is my
sincere wish that they may have
the opportunity to become so. Your
works, any Of them, are, in my opin-
ion, the equal of the literature we
have studied land [ do want to let
these New Englanders know what a
brilliant man we have in Georgia.
If you will be SO kind as to send
us copy Of Bethany" we will be
very thankful and it is my opinion
that when these boys and girls have
read this book they will be even
more thankful Yours sincerely,

A TRIBUTE TO MIR. WATSON,S
BOOK "BETHANY

L am writing you in regard to
book-one of your books-and by
the way one Of the best books you
have ever written. This book of
which I speak is Bethany" [ read
this interesting historical romance
several years ago and the Impression
made upon my mind by it still lin
gers with me. 1t is a book that
every one should read, and if I were
able to buy thousand copies of it,
many people who now know nothing
of so sweet q use this word with
great caution, but am sure it is the
right one for this place. story
would become acquainted with it.
Mr.. Watson, the fact is, we want a
copy Of Bethany" here in our
school library. We realize that you.
are not a Carnegie, but we do think
that your generous disposition will
incline you to make us a donation
of at least one copy of your works.
II you should be so kind as to grant
us this favor, the book will be placed
in our library, free to every one who
wishes to read it, and upon the bull
letin board there will be placed a.
sign to the effect that a book has
been presented by a Southern writer
and statesman to Proctor Academy
Library.

old and | was in the war Of the COS,
and | have been in the fight with you

right and liberty like you do. | see
in your Jeffersonian that you done
Mr.. Lee Brantley up a nice job. He
has the name of a Baptist preacher,
but | don't think there is very much
Baptist about him, and don't think
he will do. Mr.. Watson my prayers
to God is that you may live to see
the seed that you have sown bring
forth many flowers; that you may
see them before the time shall come
for you to pass away to the great
beyond. I am not capable Of giving

SOCRATES WOULD HAVE BEEN
JAILED, TOO.
High Shoals, Ga.

Dear Jeffs: I wish to ask the
consent Of Hon. Thos. E. Watson to
have published in one or both the
Jeffs a sketch of the ancient Greek
philosopher, Socrates, though / know
that Mr.. Watson does not admire
some of the traits of that great con-
troversialist.
Though not alike, there are some
things common to both. Socrates
was charged with subverting the re-
ligious beliefs of the State and cor
rupting the youth of his day, while
Watson is charged just as subtley
with sending obscene matter through
the mail, though only one chapter
from a book was published in the
Magazine, while the entire book from
which the chapter was taken goes
daily through the mail. Watson's
criticisms of foreign missions, not
more radical than the exhortations
of Socrates-yes, and 1 was about to
say than the excavations of Jesus
Chrlst-against the traditions of
the elders of Israel.
Relatively the same class placed
the fatal cup of Henlock to the lips
of Socrates that afterward crucifed
Jesus Christ. And now the same
wolves in sleeps clothing are trying
to compass the suppression of Wat
son. Gains and Tyberias Gracious
were bounded to death by the same
accursed sycophants who have in
every age and in every cline wreaked
the most hellish prosecutions against
the worlds best benefactors and US
ually doing their dirty work in the
holy name of religion and in the
name of the Lord.
All of the holy prophets were so
prosecuted, as were also the martyrs
Of Smithfleld. May the God of truth
and justice stir the people of this
country to vindicate Watson as the
people Of Germany stood by Luther
in his day. Respectfully
D. w. DAVIS.
