A LETTER TO T. e. w. FROM AN
OLD FRIEND.

Dear Friend: / am we'll and hope
that you and family are we'll. | am
with you on the currency question
and tariff. You are right in the fight
that you are making for civil and re-
ligious liberty. The Catholics are go
ing to capture this Government if the
Protestants don't make up soon.
Think of it; with 81 Congressman in
the lower HOUSE and & Senators in
the Senate, and Supreme Judge on
the bench, and Woodrow Wilson with
Roman Catholic secretary, and
Mrs. Wilson with one of the same
stripe all claiming to be Democrats,
when the President knows that Ro-
man Catholic can not be a Demo
crat as long as he owes his allegiance
to the Pope of Rome. Phelan says
we must keep our hands off the holy
church. My God, think of that, holy
church, when it is anything but holy.
When they blend the socalled Church
and State together, good bye liberty.
I send you Z subscribers for the JEFF
fersonian. Yours truly,
J. W. LORD.

few more lines in reference to Mr..
Watson's publications. We asked
news dealer in Chester, South Caro-
lima, not lung since if he carried
Watson's Magazine, and he said no.
Then l asked why is it the news deal
ers of our State don't carry it. He
said, 81 think they have boycotted
Mr., Watson on account of his writ
ing against the church of Rome" l
then said, "are you Catholic?'' He
said, mo, indeed, | am not" He
then asked me if I ever saw a copy
of the Menace, l said yes, the Menace
is alright, Watson and the Menace
both stand for principle and it's our
fight they are making, and [ don't

they should.

you are SO ably defending.

IS GLAD ONE PAPER GIVES
FACTS OF TAX BILL.

My Dear Mr. Watson: I notice in
your Jeffersonian that you have
pointed out some of the dangers of
the mis-named Tax Equalization Bill
recently passed by the legislature. [
am certainly glad that the people Of
Georgia have at least one paper of
general circulation, that will give the
IS members of the Lower House a
medium through which to put the
people in possession of the evils of
such a law. l mean the IS that voted
against that bill, and | am glad to
be able to say that l am one of them.
I trust that you will through your
paper let the people of the State
know how their representatives voted
on this measure.
This bill has a deceptive name. 1t
was never the purpose Of those be-
hind this scheme to equaliZe taxes
in our State, but their sole idea was
to raise more money, SO that the
great horde of legalized grafters,
that suck the life-blood from our peo-
pie might be able to do a more -four
ishing business.
The farmers of Georgia, as you SO
aptly stated, will be the victims un-
der this law.
I hope that you will go into the
legislative record of every member of
the General Assembly, and expose
each and every one Of them that did
not live up to their contract with the
people.
With highest and best regards, and
good wishes, l am,
Very truly,
B. H. MOVE.
