Additional Letters From the People

the year 1913, that our home inter-
change of products totals forty bill
lions of dollars, that our foreign
trade was four billions of dollars,
making total of forty-four billions
of dollars in commerce. We haven't
got over three billions of dollars in
the United States Then we have
done forty-one billions of dollars of
business in a credit. Now Congress
has a bill called antitrust bill. That
bill is to prohibit the interlocking
of directors, or in other words,
it says no one man or set of men
shall be directors of more than one
corporation.
We get our forty-one billions of
dollars in credit from those cor
porations. Now what is Congress
going to put in the place of those
credits? Nothing.
What is to happen?
The man whose capital is his
credit, is going busted, nothing to
pay with.
We all remember the repeal of
the Sherman law under the Cleveland
administration. The total limit of
currency was thirty millions of dol
lars a year. mat law was repoaleQ,
it brought on panic.
What will become of us when Con-
gress destroys forty-one billions of
dollars in credits that answers the
place of money? We had better have
a credit than have nothing. Shall
we destroy others by destroying our
selves? l once met a very wealthy
Jew, he asked me what | did. My
reply was that [ was a Socialist, be-
lieved in dividing up the other fell
lows stuff. The Jew said, what, is
that the kind Of man you are, I
don't want anything to do with you"
I asked the Jew how he made his
wealth. Was it by dividing up his
own stuff or by dividing up the other
fellows stuff. The Jew replied,
Well, I didn't think" That is the
greatest trouble now, the people
don't think But times are chang
ing. Perhaps the people will COM
mence the use of their heads as
thinking machine, and not use it for
a hat rack.

Dear Sir: Many thanks to you for
the nice letter you sent me long ago
and for your picture and the book,
"Reply to Windle' You thank me
for the interest I take in your pa
pers. Yes I do. I was the first one
to introduce them here; last year
sent you - subscribers and paid for
them all except one; now i send you
ten and pay for all except one. l am
no good to get subscriptions, but [
can send money when I have it, and
if I was rich you should have a big
pile of subscribers from here and
other places, because l know that the
fight you are putting up against the
money power and the Roman Catho-
lies is absolutely necessary for this
republic For a long time have l
been thinking of writing a long let
ter to you, but circumstances do not
permit it now, SO receive my best
wish for great success.

SHAVE / DESTROYED MY LITER
Z AIRY INFLUENCE?"

Dear Bro. Watson: Let one Of
your country cousins rise to remark
Just here that of all the things you
have ever written, your editorial this
week entitled, "Have l destroyed mp
literary influence by refusing to act
like a dead man." is the master
piece, and let me remark again that
flesh and blood did not reveal this to
you either.
Not a reed to be shaken by every
wind that blows, but the giant oak
that stands towering above it's fell
lows, a man of convictions and not
afraid to stand for them even though
fire and fagot should be his lot.
John Bunyan lives not solely be-
cause he wrote Pilgrims Progress,
but because in an age of ignorance
and superstition he knew the truth,
and not only lived by it but died with
it, silent but resistless force that
eternity alone can fathom.
Luther and Knox had enough of
the truth to pay the toll Of an ignor-
ant race and drove an entering wedge
that should pave the way for the
truth in the ages to come.
Fear not, for in Gods universe in
a sum total nothing is lost and when
time shall unveil eternity your own
eyes shall behold just what you were
sent into the world for and how we'll
you have played the part assigned
you.
Truth crushed to earth shall rise
again, all the years Of eternity are
hers
Your life and the cause you so
faithfully and Loyalty champion will
live when stars themselves turn to
night.
Not playing to the gallery, but like
a great ocean lines that is obedient
to the hand Of it's pilot, gets it's
course and moves in it's course, chart
and compass as it's guide.
The causes you champion will not
down and will pass into history as
the one thing that will not settle
until settled right.
Let me say | thank you for the
above mentioned truth and rich
thoughts and then make my bow.
Yours fraternally,
Ga. D. A. NOLAN.

Dear Sir: Some time ago, l wrote
you from Dallas, Texas, telling you
of the exquisite pleasure your Jeffer-
sonian gave an old veteran Leeds
Lee, of Gaillard, Ca, and asked you
Of you would bless and brighten the
last years of this old gentleman by
sending him your paper. You very
promptly and kindly wrote me that
it would give you pleasure to do so,
and that you had put his name on
your mailing list. I am visiting the
old man for a few days. In fact, I
have furnished him a house to live
in for the last years, and have
clothed and fed him for that length
of time, and / will do this for the
next ten years if he lives that length

DOESN'T AGREE ALL ALONG
WITH T. e. w,

Dear Sir: I have read with great
pleasure your article on finance in
the issue of The Jeffersonian of Au-
gust q, 1914. You furnish a good
argument in favor of Government
issuance of money. l am with you
on national currency issued by Con-
gress. l am not with you on State
bank issue.
My reason against State bank issue
is, that the Federal Constitution pro-
hibits any State from making a le-
gal tender except gold and silver.
Money that is not full legal tender
is a farce, you could not pay debts
by law with the State bank issue.
Let us demand of Congress an issue
of two billions of dollars, paper mon
ey, full legal tender for all debts
public and private. This money to
be spent on public roads of the Ma
ton.
We don't want rural credits, we
want money. When money is issued
by the general government for pub
lie roads, that money will get in
circulation in the rural districts.
l own over twenty thousand acres
of land, 1 will sell it for the above
money. l will sell all of my mer-
chandise for the same kind of money,
and | can buy every bit Of merchan-
disc that is for sale for the above
kind of money. 1t must be full
legal tender, not redeemable in gold
or silver. Money is created Of law
and not Of nature. There is no man
living who can give an intelligent
answer why one dollar should be re-
deemed in another dollar. Let the
dollar be issued by the Federal Gov
eminent and made a full legal ten

A PLEA FOR THE CHILDREN.

Dear Sir: The people of the
State are familiar with the congested
condition of the public schools in
Atlanta, as reported through the
daily papers, now comes the an
nouncement that two hundred and
fifty children in Savannah will not
be admitted into school at all this
term. l expect there is enough for
eign mission money sent away from
Savannah this year to put all these
children in school. 1t is a wonder
that some Of the home mission
boards would not take the matter
up. If we were to- read of this state
of affairs somewhere beyond the seas
we would all be shocked, but very
few seem to notice it here at home.

not find the money to put these

Marion was trembling like a leaf
and closed her eyes as tight as she
could to avoid seeing the terrible
ghost, when she was frightened al
most to death by an awful cry from
Lefty, ''Oh, Marion, he's after US! Oh,
yes, do believe in ghosts. Yes, do!
/ just saw real live one fly past
me!''
Then all at once the object of their
fear quickly approached them. They
covered their heads with the blank
cts, under which they stayed, not
making a sound fearing death.
Now was his chance, while the house
was still, and he stole downstairs
intending to rob everything he could.
The girls room was the only safe
hiding place, as the parlor was the
receiving room, and as the cooks and
maids were busy downstairs Marion's
room was the only refuge until the
house was still and the servants had
gone to their sleeping apartments

The Human Ghost
by MARY CUNNING.
Continued from yesterday

Marion's bedroom was ON the sec
ond floor and her mothers on the
first. AS it was very late, she rushed
the two girls off to bed after securing
the barn and putting the silver in the
safe. after which she forgot to secure
it firmly. Marion and Lefty went to
their room and soon were in bed.
The excitement OF the evening was
very great, and they didn't think of
sleep. They were busily talking Of
the costumes and the gay time which
the evening afforded. Letty's mind at
last drifted on the lovely stories her
Aunt Dorothy had told, and Marion
at once became interested. But they
weren't true at all. Why, just think
of the foolish things that happened
In those stories, Marioni Just imagine
anyone believing in ghosts or visitors!
It's ridiculousn' Marion was a little
afraid, but she did not dare to let
her cousin see it. YES" she replied;
'but I'll tell you, Ethel Butler was
afraid; l could see 1t in her face"
All at once something flashed in
front of them. Lefty did not notice
it, but Marion did. and she exclaimed.
"Oh, Lefty, look quick!" Lefty be-
came alarmed and asked what was
the trouble. .'Oh. saw O ghost,

things. Where is this creature?

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1e. 1914.

According to astrology this is an
uncertain day, in which it is wise to
exercise watchfulness over impulses
and actions. Early in the morning
Neptune is strongly malefic, while
Saturn is friendly. Later Jupiter,
Mercury and the Sun are in good
aspect. while Uranus and Neptune
still maintain an evil rule.
The planets are read as presaging
danger on the seas. The shipwrecks
Hong foretold, may be due to war, but
there is warning of peril to the United
Estates.
This should be fairly lucky day
for coal merchants and those who
deal in real estate. Owners of land
will know great prosperity, it is pre-
dicted. within the next few years.
Under this configuration all those
who work at night should benefit.
Actors, printers, engine-drivers, clerks
and watchmen should be fortunate.
There is a sign that gives promise
to s'dyers of black cloth" Early in
the year the seers made this prophecy,
which is now recalled by the war.
