The worst feature is Peters pence

Secute those who attack and expose

bring counter suit, forbidding
transit through the mails Of Debs
and Ljguori's theology, wherein this
indecency is found and quoted from,
also forbidding the use Of all such
obscene and lascivious questions pro-
pounded, whether in Latin or any
other language in these United
States and dependencies, and that
all religious preachers, no matter
what church affiliated with or office
they hold, shall be held amendable
to all laws on the same plane of
equity as any other citizen. No dis
tinction nor exclusion from impair
tial operation in all courts of law
l believe under this claim no jury
would convict you and not the holy
priests who PROFOUND such questions.
Neither exempt those books, no mat
ter where published Or whose i'm
print they bear from transit, and
you only RENAL what has already
passed through the mails and only

ges in such. You cannot have one

fought for the cause, and after so
long they had won the House and

licved in low tariff and had saved
the people several millions Of dol

see. | am q farmer, run 10 pl0Ws
and have to buy plows and plow fix
lures and they cost as much as they
did or years ago. [ so then to
buy shoes and ready made clothing,
and the merchants tell Us they are
much higher than they were few
years ago. There IS only one item
I can see that is lower, that is sugar,
it is about 40 cents per 100 cheaper,
and If the tariff has benefited any
thing except sugar ] can see where
il it has. We farmers would like to
have a man in the Senate that would
look after oar interests as we'll as
Big Corporations interests. II these
big concerns can borrow money at 4
or 5 per cent per annum, why can't
we do the same? Now some Of them

PLE''

Dear Sir: AS | am a constant
reader Of The Jefferson.an, and since
I have never attempted to write, [
desire to say now l am very much
interested in most Of the issues
which you discuss. The call is to
US, the common people. Let us
prove our faith by our works. IN
shouldering brayely the cause Of
Equal Rights to all and special
privileges to none, lending voice and
influence to the promotion Of that
justice which is the foundation OF
the cause; taking our stand with
those who believe in a square deal
for every man, woman and child.
Every man has left behind him
influences which will never be ex-
hausted; the great sphere in V lich
you act with the common people Of
a great Nation will repeat itself,
spreading benedictions over the
length and breadth Of the land. The
seed you have sown in life will
spring up in harvests Of blessings.
The great lessons you are teaching
will last. I believe the cause of the
common people is just and pure.

HEARD T. Il. w. SPEAK At KITE
IN 1898.

Dear Sir: We get a few Jeffs
down here every week, and I want
to say that I believe the better class
OF people in our little town will bear
me out in saying that We heartily
endorse every word you have writ
ten about the Frank case, Roman
week almost impatiently for our
Jef's, as they are our medium by
which we can gain any information
at all concerning the Frank case. At
first we had few doubling Thorn
asses, but now we all seem to~be Of
one accord, believing that Frank is
the guilty party, and no fouler muir
der has ever been recorded in the
annals of history. My desire is that
you be spared many years to point
out those things of interest to US
that no one else will dare speak of.
TWenty-one years ago this July,
although a small boy, in the little
town Of Kite, Ca, Johnson county,
amid the lofty pines Of the Carr
OIdsleld, thronged with q few thous-
and people, | heard little red
headed Georgian make g speech Of
which he adulonished the people to
unite and hold fast to the true Drin-
ciples Of Jeffersonian Democracy.
From then until now / have ad-
mired Mr. Watson and sympathised
with him in his struggles and perse-
cutions that have crossed his path
in trying to steer the people in the
right direction, and warning them
Of the danger just ahead Of them.

and think he Will carry Jefferson

bill against you, for you have done
more in showing UP the Frank case.
Prof. r. A. BrinsQn and others say it
is a disgrace that they got the bill,

the backbone to show up the light
on w. J. Burns and his agencies. [

ANOTHER WATSON BOY.

Dear Mr.. Watson: 1 am new
subscriber to your Jeffersonian.
Have only received few copies. I
think it one, of the finest papers in
print. I scarcely realize how a true
citizen can do without it, as what
you have to say about the Frank
case, sounds SO true to the people.
You are gaining friends in this part
Of the country. / don't think it
will be long before the JEFF will be
welcome visitor to nearly every
home, for I hear the voices Of many
just woke up, following, "Hurrah

JUDGE G. II. HUTCHENS NOT
AFRAID 10 SHOW HIS
COL0YlS!

Dear Mr. Watson: I desire, sir,
to thank you for your kind reference
to my platform and to my candidacy
for u. S. Senate in your issue Of
Thursday, 2Sth inst You make
mention of that part Of my plat
form which refers to some Of the
fundamental principles on which our
government is founded. | do not
think it was out of place to refer
to these things, and it is refreshing
and | think wise for our people oc-
casionally to give a little thought
along this line.
Our Constitution declares that
freedom Of speech and of the press
(and that includes your press) shall
not be abridged. Another thing is
that matters Of Church and State
shall ever remain separate and dis
tinct and our government must not
be subservient to any sectarian or
ganization. | have the utmost re-
spect for the Christian religion.

eli Chattahoochee river, and am Of

have our government as a govern
7acrt. declare itself even in favor of
Neither would I have our govern
mcnt pursue you Or any other edi-
tor who saw proper to comment upon
tie discipline or any part thereof Of
the church to which | have attached
r,y membership.
Another right guaranteed by this
Fundamental law is that Of trial by
Jury. In these latter days, I am
sorTy TO say, this right has been as
sailed, even in the GOOD old State Of
Georgia, wherein one Of the most
important cases ever tried in our
courts has been passed upon by a
jury, the verdict affirmed by the trial
judge, and his approval affirmed by
the Supreme Court Of the State; and
after this, we have the sublime
spectacle of unscrupulous detectives
coming into our very midst declar-
ins trial by jury to be farce, i'm
peachiDg the integrity Of our iuris-
prudence, and with brazcn affrOn-
tary, seek to nullify our laws. Money
can buy detectives and other things,
but there are lots of people not on
the market, and I join with you in
expressing confidence to believe that
hereafter. as heretofore, these fUnda-
mental principles will not be forgot
ten, and our law will be administered
for the protection OF the poor aud
otherwise dcfepceless, except for the
iHtegrity of our law, the same as for
the rich.
With kindest regards, I am,
Yours truly,

FOOD PRICES
SOAR AS WAR
ZONE SPREADS
Coffee and Tea Shortage in
Two Months, While Rub
Der Goods and Basic Ma
terials Rise.
IeY LEASED WIRE.l

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-America to-
day faces an unparalleled advance in
food stuffs and other commodities as
the result of the European war. Prices
have jumped from 10 to 100 per cent
and it is predicted that these boosts
will be doubled and tripled within the
next month If there is no immediate
prospect Of the end of the war.
In America today there Is smaller
supply of tea than at any time within
the last five years. The visible supply
Iof coffee will last only about two
months, and there will be big short
age If South American shipments are
not made soon.
Raw sugar advanced in a week from
| 3A to 5 cents a pound. America de-
ponds upon Europe for the basic ma
terials for its existence. Millions of
yards of shirtings were ordered from
abroad but they cannot be shipped.
America must depend on it's own out
put, which is insufficient.
With the Hamburg and Liverpool
ports closed, but little crude rubber
will come here. This means a general
boost all around in rubber goods. Au-
tomobile tires have advanced from 40
to 60 per cent. The supply of rubber
in this country Is sufficient to last
only about month.
Ostrich feathers are selling at dou-
BILE and triple the price of two weeks
ago. Fur quotations will be more than
100 per cent above those of last year,
as Leipzig, the worlds principal fur
market, now is closed. All grades of
hides were advanced from 2 to cents
pound, presaging a boost in shoes.
Following is the list of advances:
Tea, 10 per cent; coffee, 10 per cent;
butter, 10 per cent; raw sugar, tx
| cents per h.; beef. 10 to Is per cent;
shirtings, rs per cent; mems hats, 20
per cent; notions, 100 per cent; crude
rubber, 40 to 60 per cent; gloves, SO
per cent; leather, 20 to "a per cent !;
| drugs, SO to 100 per cent? imported
wines and liquors, 40 to 100 per cent.
