HERE'S ANOTHER PROTESTANT
CHURCH THAT ISN'T DEAD.

Whereas, There being a great eff
fort on the part Of the Roman Cath
olic church to gain control of our
government and unite Church and
State, and
Whereas, We realize it is not best

Therefore be it resolved, by Christ

out in open opposition to such.
Resolved, that we condemn our

would have been a great benefit to
the farmers. They could have OBJ
tanned money at low rate of in

made farm life worth living, but this
bill was born a weaklin, and our
great President would not give it the
proper nourishment and it died in
infancy.

A. Permitting all to believe as they
choose.
10. Why do we indorse this kind
Of tolerance in heretical countries?
A. To deceive the natives until we
get full control.
Il. What priest exposed our real
intentions? A. The one that
wrote in a magazine called Every
body's, April, 1914, page 542, as fol-
lows:
CDR. White intimates that Giorda-
no Bruno was burned at the stake
because he propagated the theories
of Copernicus; but the record shows
that he was executed on account Of
his PECULIAR THEOLOGICAL
OPINIONS"
Is. Why is this what the knowing
ones might call bad -break?" A.
Because we are continually denying
that we intend to kill all heretics
when we get power. Amen.

"WE'LL TAKE A CUP o. KIND
NESS YET, FOR THE DAYS OF
AULD LANG SYNE."

Dear old Tom. Yes, let it be Tom
and Bill for the sake of Aud Lang
Syne, when you and | were young.
Tom, when I was a native Georgian
| formed a friendship for you when
you were elected back to Congress
and so foully cheated out of the
same by as rotten a herd of politi-
clans as ever disgraced a nations
honor, but then we Old Man Peepuf
elected you our Acknowledgement for
all time, and in this we made no
mistake, for time has proven that all
the people can't be fooled all the
time. We are proud Of you Tom,
and the record you have made. [ see
you are still prosecuted by that same
old crowd Of ringsters and political
thieves that have bounded you from
then till now, but be of good cheer
Tom, for truth crushed to earth will
rise again. That old rotten priest
rid den gang will do you any dirt they
can to carry out their plans which
means ruin and destruction to our
fair land, but God rules and reigns.
I just want to tell you I was an
original Wilson man, voted for him
in the primary at Videtta, Ga, and
also in the general election, but we
have come to the parting Of the
ways, my little ballot don't amount to
much, but it's much to me, and when
I see that our President is leaning
and trucking to the Roman Catholic
church by dressing in green so as
to be one of the boys( don't you see)
on St. Patrick's day, and worst of
all retaining in office as his private
secretary that Jesuit Tumulty, high
up in the councils Of the Catholic
church. Placed there Git seems to
safeguard the Roman Catholic
schemes and designs, between our
President and the Protestant people
of the United States. Look out Mr..
Wilson in 1916, there is coming a
day Of reckoning. Keep up the lights
on the tower Tom, you are our
Waterman, and for the stand you
have taken and the fight you have
made for truth and justice, law and
order, in dear old Georgia in the
noted Frank Case, you have built
for yourself q monument in the
hearts Of the people that will out last
granite stone and times defacing
hands. Long may you live to realize
the fruits Of your labOrs. Yes, [ am
proud of old Georgia my native land,
long may her banner wave over the
land Of the free and the home of
the brave. Waterman tell us of the
night, for I am sure the morning
cometh, and now Tom as you are
coming to the evening of life and
facing the setting sun and when you
have come to the end of the way
and you hear the dip of the silent oar
Of death, which takes you across the
bar of mystery may you be pre-
pared to go with conscience void
Of offense., and drawing the drape-
ries of your couch about you, lie
down to pleasant dreams, is the
wishes of your ardent friend and
admircr.

Georgia, l believe that man
is truly John III. ,S1aton, as
you know he is the father of the
Tax Equalization Bill, one Of. the
worst bills that has been passed by
the Georgia Legislature since the
Civil War.
| notice in q recent statement that
Mr.. Slaton made he says it was
passed to lift the burden off the poor
farmers, but that is right where it
fell Oh the poor farmers, when they
already had all they could stand and
moro too. In looking over the tax
book of my county l found very few
poor farmers that did not have their
taxes raised and once and a while
they would go up on a big man for
a bluff, but what does a small raise
amount to On & big man when he
has q big income, not drop in the
bucket, but the poor old hump-back
farmer that has to live on milk and
corn bread and a mess of peas now
and then, and go to the field taking
his wife and children with him and
dig his tax money out, he is the man
hurt Several years ago we bought
a small farm and by hard work and
taking the weather as it come and
the help of a good wife, we managed
to get our little home paid for, but
for the past few years, since times
have been getting so hard, we have
been getting in debt. We could not
make q living and stay even, and last
fall we decided to rent our little
farm out and move off to a better
place and see if we could get -evened
up. We had to borrow the money
last fall to pay cur taxes, our note
is now in the Citizens Bank at
Gainesville, Ga. We we're giving our
little farm in at 81 900, and you see
we could not pay the taxes On this
without borrowing the money, but
the tax equaliZers under Mr.. Sla-
tons bill to lift the burden off the
poor farmers has raised our taxes
from 81, 900 to $4,000, when in fact,
We could not make a living On our
farm and had to move away. We
know Of a poor widow woman that
lost her husband and was left with
9 small children and q small farm
to raise them on, but she managed
to set them raised up, but of course
She got in debt several hundred dol
lars, and is just now in the position
to lose her home, and here comes
the tax eQuiliZers and nearly doubles
her taxes. Again you can see that
Mr. Slaton is helping the poor. Now
this is about the way it runs. In
my county the burden has been sad
died on the poor farmers which will
always be the case, as long as such
men as Mr.. SlatOn are in poWer-We
poor farmers need never expect any
legislation that will be beneficial to
us just as long as we send big rich
lawyers to the National Congress to
represent us. We need to send a
man that is real friend to the
farmer, and one that has proven it.
| can remember the time when a
mortgage on a farm was almost a
thing unthought of. Now go and
examine the records and see how
many you can find that are free from
mortgages. The farmers are the
backbone Of the world, yet they are
the worst imposed on of any class of
people on the face OF the globe. The
farmer has to pay a greater rate of
interest than any other class of peo-
pie. But you know they are always
just going to do something for lis
poor farmers. You know Congress
was going to pass a Rural Credit
