LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

ing the woods, you've got the enemy
on the run. Watch our enemies, for
they are cunning and subtle, look
out for the ambush, the assassin,
the false swearing, for bribery, for
packed juries, and an ingenious
frame up, for the Jesuitical Roman
knights Of Columbus, and the devt-
lish, low down, Internal politician
will move Heaven, Earth and He'll,
in an effort to suppress your papers,
stay your hand and silence your
tongue. The people know it, and the
people are with you. There is a
sentiment abroad in the land SO
strong that it is spoken aloud, you
harm Mr.. Watson, or our Protestant
lecturers and we will hold the Ro-
manist officials responsible, from the
priests to the cardinals.
"Forbearance may cease to be a
virtue" Retaliation. Eternal vigi-
lance is the price Of liberty and
"self preservation is one of the first

AFRAID TO HAVE HIS
NAME USED.
NAME USED.

Dear Sir: I want to congratulate
you on your bold and fearless stand
you have taken on the Frank case,
and on the Roman Catholics. Mr..
Watson there are thousands Of peo-
pie that read your editorials with
profound interest and consider you
the champion of all the great states
men. My father was. devout Wat
son man, and was one of your fol-
lowers back in the SOS, in those
dark days. am not q Watson man
because my father was, but from "a
pure motive of principal, because /
believe you are a friend to the
masses. | have never heard you
speak in my life, but will never be
satisfied until I do and shake your
hand. I hope some day to have the,
honor of voting for you for Presi-
dent If we had you for President
and enough John L. Burnett's In
Congress we would smash HI out
of the Pope's pauper dago trash that
are being dumped on us by the
thousands every year. If l were
able to give $1,000 year for mis-
sionary work, I would invest every
cent of it in your Jeffersonian and
send it to the remotest corners Of
the earth. / believe they would do
more to en1ighten and educate the
heather than all the bum gosh CAB
the missionary boards and preachers
are doing for the poor little Doras.

TRUE TO THE LAST, is THIS OLD
SOLDIER.

Dear Tom: / am handing you
herewith new list of subscribers and
P. 0. money order in the sum of
$3.50. Tom, / am seventy-tWo
years old, an old Confederate soldier,
a disciple of the Watson doctrines
for now near thirty years. At this
age my time is worth but very little
to any one, but | have obtained fif-
teen new subscribers in addition to
the seventeen sent you some two
weeks ago.
In this thirty years time, I have
learned to trust in Watson, in the
truthfulness Of his statements, his
immunity from corrupt political
deals, the righteousness of turning
the light on in the Roman Catholic
church. I am writing you these few
lines, fearing that I may be shut off
by the Grim Reaper before again
urging you to be faithful, because
right will prevail; be not dismayed,
die in the harness and receive an
everlasting glory.

GIVE T .E. w. LOTS OF PRAISE.

Dear Sir: Of course you have
already seen the two clippings we
are enclosing you herewith, but we
want you to know that your friends
are watching developments, and in
every good cause we can see Tom
Watson at the helm. So far as we
can learn you were the first to attack
the methods of Burns the famous
sleuth, and your relentless warfare
on Roman Catholicism is bearing
fruit as evidenced by the action of
the Baptists at Nashville. A nobler,
truer type of American manhood
never breathed the pure air Of
American freedom than Tom Wat
son. The cause Of right and justice
need more just such men as your
self to keep the masses informed as
to the true conditions existing in our
beloved America. No. country ever
produced nobler son than Tom
Watson.
With every good wish, I am your
friend J. l.. RAGLAND. ,

JUDGE BROYIES EXPLAINS HOW

BURNS

My Dear Sir: Please allow me "a
few words in reply to letter signed
IS W. f. in your last issue taking
me to task because last winter I in
troduced VIM. J. Burns to an At
lanta audience as the greatest living
detective. This was before Burns
had any connection with the Frank
case, and when l had no idea that
he would ever be connected with it.
[ had never seen him and knew but
little about him or his methods My
friend, Russell Bridges, head Of the
Lyceum Lecture Association, asked
me to introduce Burns when he ap-
peared in Atlanta as one Of the regu-
lar numbers of the lecture course.
Since his conduct in the Frank case
| have regretted that I consented to
introduce him.

SAISES.

Dear Uncle Tom: I am proud to
note the exchange being made in the
past two months in favor of you, and
the Jeffersonian | notice men, that
heretofore would abuse you and
were ready to stab you in the back,
but now say they see the evil Of their
way, and have recanted and are anX-
ious to read The Jeffersonian. Your
version of Roman Catholicism and
the Leo Frank case have added many
stars to your crown. That in part
has broke the spell on those hide
bound, spell-binders. The good seed
that you have been a long time SOW
ing is now Verging on to harvest,
and will make an abundant yield.
It Is being generally canceded here
and where / go that the Jeffersonian
is the one paper that comes out in
the open without muzzle on, and
fights for the rights and justice for
the people. It is hoped that the
Jeffersonian and Magazine, those hive
wires, may continue on and on, until
a conversion among all the people
Of our country. And may the great
Lord Of heaven and earth spare the
editor Of these truthful wires for
long and happy life, and shield and
protect him from harm and danger
is my prayer. Hoping you success.
Very truly yours,

I notice that in the speech made
by Burns to the bankers in Atlantic
City, he said that crimes against
banks had been practically wiped
out.
suppose one reason is that the
fellows on the inside don't give the
outsiders any chance.
Most of the banks that are Quilted
are did up by the insiders who
hire William J. Burns to watch the
outsiders.
This works we'll, but as yet we
have not found the best way to
watch Burns

Strong Southern Feeling
Against Wall Street Cited

In a keen, logical argument on
facts, Senator Hoke Smith, one of the
trainers Of the currency bill, Satur-
day evening in the United States
Court room In the Federal Building
presented Atlantas final and strong
est argument for the establishment of
a reserve bank here.
Il strongly counsel that under this
currency law the Southeastern sec
ton of this country should be made
a separate reserve district with a
separate reserve bank" said Senator
Smith.
Some gentlemen have put the
South in the false light of not being
a self-supporting section. l believe 1t
is a self-supporting part of the coun-
try and ! will prove il to you. II
would be more financially independ-
ent with a reserve bank.
Only Twelve Banks Allowed.
This bill requires the establish
ment OF not less than eight reserve
banks, but II allows the establish
ment of twelve. There were those
men In Congress who wanted only
one central bank to serve the entire
country.
Then, II the country were pros
porous, the bank would be prosper
Gus and supporting.
Convenience is emphasized in this
bill. II says that these banks shall
be located conveniently to the terri
tory they serve. / advocate such a

tory of South Carolina, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Eastern Tennessee
and Western North Carolina,
Injustice has been done this sec
ton by calling 1t a borrowing Sec
ton. They bring our bills payable
forward to show that we are bor-
rowers in enormous amounts. If you
will deduct rs per cent from those
bills payable. you will have about
what we owe. The result would be
almost negligible.
Gigantic Reserve Funds.
You can deduct from our bills pay
able the gigantic reserve funds our
Southern banks keep in New York
Philadelphia and St. Louis, and the
amount of their deposits that have
, gone outside the State, because when
the reserve bank is located here these
funds will be brought back here and
kept all the time.
You gentlemen seem to feel that
the emergency borrowing clause in
the bill is a sort of fire escape and
should not be used except as a last
| extremity. | say the emergency Dor
/ rowing clause is put there to permit
banks to borrow from the reserve of
| other banks and thus avert the pos
sibility of their being any fire, or in
other words, failure.
LAS a matter of fact, you couldn't
locate more than two banks in any
given section of this country where
| they do not call upon other sections
/ of the country for financial aid at one
! time or another during the year
/ Even New York Asks Aid.
You can't locate any given sec
