Just previous to her appearance in
Chicago where she came by nernis-

been regarded as fayorite in the
Royal Opera In Stockholm for four
years.
NM Claussen is in the very nrime

DARK, and of superb figure, and when
she steps upon the stage her carriage
at once suggests dominance.
Last Thursday she sang Brunnhilde

light operas OF the PAST decade can
compare with THE Girl From

one point in pleasing entertain

been highly successful.
The play possesses a story of in

fits Of laughter from start to finish
The dialogue is SO bright and crisp,
the situations SO overwhelmingly funny,
that the audience is held spell-bound
with excitement, wondering what will
come next. To add to the effect

ing as well as appreciative.
The score is unquestionably the most
catchy, tuneful and pleasing heard

slumber in dreams of tuncful ecs-

HON. G. r. McCRORY SAYS HON.
e. III. McNTCHAEL is A
FALSIFIER.
FALSIFIER.

Dear Sir: have just read your
letter to Hon. E. H. McMichael. In it
you say that Mr.. McMichael wrote you
that ! was against an income tax. If
he wrote you this he stated some
thing that is absolutely untrue.
Let my record speak. | was SO
much in favor of an income tax that
in 1910 I introduced bill for the
State to levy tax on all incomes
over $4,000. See Journal House
1910, page 1854.
Let the truth be told. Two reso-
lutions were introduced, one in the
Senate and one in the House for the
comes. I thought then and still
think it best for the State to levy the
tax because SO cents of each dollar
collected for the support of the Gov
eminent goes North of Mason and
Dixon line, and other reasons.
l did oppose the House resolution
for the United States to levy the tax,
because I wanted my resolution to
become a law, but when my resOlu-
ton was tabled I voted for the Senate
resolution for the United States to
levy tax on incomes and l will
prove it beyond question. See Jour-
nal of the House 1910, page 1874.
This Journal also shows that Nc
Michaed of Marion did not vote for
the resolution.
A person may state things as true,
but let the record speak.
Please publish this and oblige,
Very truly yours,
Ellaville, Ga. c. R. McCRORY.

My Dear Mr. Watson: I've never

G. Swearngen, through your paper, if
Fagg, State Supt. Children's Home

Catholic inclined?
He is in favor of establishing a

Have they gotten it yet, Mayor
Swearingen? God forbid! Have the
Catholics of your city a. House of

the Juvenile offend ers into?
Mr. Watson, can we ever hope to
see the State investigate the con-
vents and H. o. G. S.?
Oh, the pity and shame and horror
Of it all!
would like to appeal to the moth
er's of the Union to band together

all it's forms.

RIOUS WORK.

Dear Sir: I, Roman Catholic
from birth, and now q years of age,
until reading a stray copy of your
grand paper, am taking this oppor-
tunity to thank you for being the
means by which my Maker merciful
ly allowed me to see the Divine Light
of Reason, instead of keeping me in
the bonds of ignorance, superstition
and paganism. Even now, the fear
and dread which have been pounded
into me from childhood, are dragging
my hand from writing this note, a
glorious attribute of my salvation,
but l am firmly convinced it has no
power over me now Only to read
one Of Rev. Pickard's splendid ser
mons ought to be enough to. con-
vince the most bigoted Catholic in
the world to at least study what has
been said and put two and two to-
gether, but l do not intend to make
long letter of this, so will close,
thanking you once more and wishing
you every success in your good work.
l remain your sincere admirer,

HERE'S ANOTHER PROTESTANT
MINISTER WHO is NOT AFRAID
no BE A PROTESTANT.

Dear Sir: I want to write and
personally thank you for the timely
and heroic fight that you are SO
splendidly waging against the evils
Of the Roman Catholic church.
| have read with peculiar interest
your periodicals since the beginning
of their publication, and while have
not agreed with you in your views
concerning missionary activity, |
must confess that your work for
Professionalism is of tremendous
value. You are gifted in being able
to expose the wickedness of the great
church and to show the weakness Of
the organization, and at the same
time allow the individual to feel that
against him you bear no malice or i'll
will.
In the face of present conditions,
political and ecclesiastical, it seems
that you have been called into the
kingdom for such an hour Pity it
is that blind prejudice prevented the
people who lived in the Sixties to
properly appreciate Abraham Lin
coin, and it is pity now that men
will allow prejudice to come in and
obscure all the good that is in your
work.
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again, and the facts that you are
bringing out against ''the Mother of
Harlots" will eventually bare the de-
sired effect
DR.. B. H. Carroll, President Of the
Southwestern Baptist Theological
Seminary, one of the greatest schol-
ars Of the century in his common
tary on Revelation says: "The war
is now on in the press, in the schools,
in the municipal, county and State,
and national elections, in the pull
pits, in the Congress and before the
courts. There can be no millennium
until the battle on these definite
lines drawn by ROmanism is fought
to a finish" Also referring to
'Vaticanism" by Gladstone and,
"Creeds of Christendom" by Schaff,
he says, "The preacher, the politi-
clan, the statesman, who has not
these books should sell his coat if
need be and buy them The evils
of Romanism need to be dragged
before the public. A muZzled press,
immortality, Papal infallibility, SUI
premacy and the horrors Of the con-
fessional and a closed Bible, are evils
to be fought. The intellectual, spiri-
tual and moral manhood of the coun-
try are awakening to the greatness
of the conflict
May your head be steady and your
hand stout as you continue to wage
this Christian warfare.
