knew you when you were boy-just few.
AS to being acquainted with your career
as church historian, not soul here at
Thomson knew blessed thing about it.
Hoots! Toots! You have been In Canada,
Doctor; and therefore you must remember
that you have been entirely outside of our
Thomson world
Under the circumstances, you could hardly
have expected US to keep track of you, "as a
church historian"
Now, IT you had been another Tv Cobb, or
another Carrie Nation, or another Harry
Ihaw, OR another Nat Goodwin-or some
thing somewhat similar-we Thomsonians
might have heard of what you were doing.
But as to keeping up with your "career as
church historian"-come now, YOU could
hardly expect it of us.
DO be reasonable, Doctor.
And remember my own case. Doctor. I
did not go to Canada, nor otherwise disap
pear from the local horizon; and I, too, have
written books, and-but what's the use?
Or. Newman adds, in conclusion
1T has been IN my heart for some time to
make visit to Thomson and look up nv old
friends, after an absence of more than 40
years."
There's another human touch, that goes to
where we feel
Come, by all means Doctor.
Inc few OF us that survive and who still
peg away at Thomson, will give you warm
welcome
For your own sake, for the sake of Old
Times, for the sake of the old teacher who
loved you and predicted your fame, and for
the sake of the splendid work that you have
done, though SO far away that we did not
know until now that you had toiled SO per-
slstently and achieved so nobly-we will
greet you, with affection for the ties and
memories of boyhood, and pride for the
Thomson youth who commenced at the bot
tom and by hard work rose to the top.

Lord Help Us! It's Worse Now
Than in BullOck's Timel is
Cents Cotton, Etc.

n EAR Sir and Friend: I took your first paper
~ when you started in Atlanta, and 1 have
been taking your Magazine and paper since you
have been publishing them l get more good
reading and truth out of them, than l do out of
any other papers. If people would read your
Magazine, The Weekly Jeffersonian and your
BOOKS, you would convert more people than 100
preachers have done in 20 years. I am loaning
my papers and books to some preachers and most
OF them like to read what you say, but they think
you Jump on too many things. All the laboring
men think you are right the way you wrote up
that Augusta affair made thousands of new
friends for you in Georgia. I was surprised at
the stand taken by Gov. Brown in that case. l.
am 81 years old and if the men we elect to Office
keep on helping to pass laws in favor of the rich
and against the poor, how long will it be before
we will have rebellion worse than the one of
1860?
Poor men cannot go to law against rich men
IN TINS country; they will keep his case in court
until they wear it out. We have been voting for
men VINO promised to cut down salaries and stop
making more Offices and quit appropriating
money for SO many things, but as soon as they
get in they all seem to get wild on appropria-
tons II it gets much higher, men will have to
sell their land to pay the tax
remember when Bullock Governor they
SAID ne had bankrupted Georgia, and if we would
get rid of Bullock and the niger legislature our
tax would be a small item But Bullock and the
negroes are all out of the way and my tax was
assessed "a. on the thousand and now it is S15
ana we nave had Democratic administration in
georgia for 40 years. Things get worse every
year Hines was elected Governor but thew
downed him as they did you-counted him out
HOW long will the people put up with such
things? Look how the farmers are treated yet
some of them try to pay the third of all they
make, and dollar an acre bonus, they call it.
on every acre of land they cultivate.
You must excuse me for writing this I know
now pussy you are, but | wanted you to know I
am still your same old friend
what about this Is cent cotton? I can't under
stand 1t; according to their contract they pay
nine cents and give you script for six cents pay
able when they get it to fifteen cents. 1t may
not go that high in ten years
have had lot of people ask me what you
THINK OF the Frank case, but we haven't seen a
word you had to say.
Who do you think will run against Hoke
Smith next time?
When you get this, and have any spare time
would like to get line from you on the polti-
cal situation. I think Roosevelt will be the next
PRESIDENT If he is living | never had any con-
hdence in Wilson or Bryan either.

J. T. BOND.
CONIMENT:

My good friend Bond did not write the
above for y0W to see, but thought you might
like to look at it,
OF course we Democrats do not love to be
told that we are more extravagant in govern
ment than Bullock. But if it's the truth
what are we going to do about it?
Brother Bond says that Bullock taxed him
81. a thousand, and that we Democrats tax
him SIS.
That's nothing. By the time we get
through "equalizing," his taxes will be so.
on the thousand.
Cause why? The State University. the
Game Warden, and the Agricultural Depart
ment need the money.
We amt near done creating offices, vet.
We amt near done raising salaries. And we
amt near done equalizing taxes.
AS to my jumping on so many things. [
need more feet to jump on with. There are
so many more things that need jumping on
than | can furnish feet for, that it's dis
cOuraglng to have but two feet. I sometimes
wish | were one of these here centipedes, and
that each one of the pedes had live wire
attached.
AS to 10 cents cotton, I am trying it, to the
tune of 20 bales After get the nine cents.

mon sense. He had a son whose chief delight
was books, and whose reputation as hard
student quickly pervaded the community.
The Newman's were Baptists; and the great
Baptist preacher-teacher, Rev. "Lec" Steed,
soon had his kindly observant eye upon the
pale faced boy, Albert Newman.
The upshot of it was that Mr.. Steed used
his influence with several of the well-to-do
Baptlsts of our community, and they
advanced the money to give the promising
youth a collegiate education
So, after our High-school days, Albert
Newman left Thomson. as others of us did;
and he took course through the colleges
which was SO brilliant that he Immediately
became Professor in one of the large Uni
versities.
While was at Mercer, Mr.. Steed spoke to
me of Albert Newman, from time to time, as
a prodigy along certain intellectual lines, as
George 4. West was another-the learning
OF languages being the wonderful forte Of
both.
One of these extraordinary young men
was an early victim of Meningitis, in the
winter of 1873, and l remember the bitter
grief with which his old teacher sat by the
bed in the" Mess Hall, and watched the last
moments of his favorite scholar.
Newman passed into Canada, as Mr.. Steed
told me, and became teacher in Univer-
sity of Toronto.
Therefore, when I went to the 'Wire-
grass" section of Georgia in the Seventies,
to teach back-woods school for a living [
lost sight Of Albert Newman, whose seat in
the old school-room at Thomson was among
the "Big boys" while mine was among the
common run.
From time to time as the years passed. [
heard that Newman had risen to the highest
rank, and held position Of prominence and
influence among the Baptist scholars of the
world.
When my own line Of recent work made it
necessary for me to purchase DR.. Armitage's
magnificent "History of the Baptists," I
found that Albert Newman's name came in
for honorable mention, and that his face was
among the pictures.
Later, when buying the standard works
in church history-needed in my show-up of
Roman Catholic imposture and pagan adap-
tations-I found that "a Manual of Church
History" in two large volumes, by" A. H.
Newman, ID, l.. L. d." was the very best
In the market.
And this Newman, with that string of
capital letters after his name, was the Thorn
son boy, the son of the old harness maker, in
whose shop [ used to love to sit and talk, so
many years ago.
After / had been using his book for some
time, the impulse prompted me to try to get
in touch with the author So a letter was
written and in due time there came cordial
reply, which made very agreeable reading.
DR.. Newman, it would seem, is now located
in Waco Texas
In his letter to me, DR.. Newman says
II wonder how many Of the people there
are about Thomson that knew me when I was
a boy, and that are acquainted with my
career as a church historian"
