BRAVFLY ADMITS HE MISUNDER-
STOOD z. T.. w.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Three weeks
ago l was one who had always been
taught that to read your Jeffersonian
signifed the person was "nutty."
l am glad to acknowledge that |
must be "nutty," for I have just read
the third copy Of your Jeffersonian-
commencing with the first copy three
weeks ago and, | am now proud to
say l am one of your regular sub
sGribers
l will be one Of any other five
persons who will contribute $500
for a years subscription to your Jeff,
and put it in the homes of the other
fifty persons in my little city, who
/ know are not readers of your JEFF
fersonian, but are afflicted with this
awful ''nutty' disease. This is a
disease that demands a cure, and l
think your Jeffersonian is serum
that will prevent the spread OF this
''nutty" affection.
Your magnificent fight on Catho-
1icism, Hoke Smithism, Tom Hard
wickism, Tom Felderism and others,
demands the backing Of any deep
thinking person, and l am glad to
know we have such men as you and
DR.. T. r. Galloway with the back
bone to express what you know.
In conclusion | wish to say [ am
known in my little city and county
as the new Andy Carnegie, which l
am frequently called, but my real
name is Geo. Baltozar Turpin, and
at any time l can serve you as
friend in this day of corruption, l
beg that you command me.
Sincerely your friend,
RichIand, Ga. G. B. TURP1N.

Dear Sir: Enclosed please find

to deserving ears and the approval of

thrills the being, and raises the hopes
of those who struggle for the better
ment Of human kind.
In your present fight against the
Italian Catholic politicians and their
reasonable usurpations, the "bOgey-

admonitions and the misguided aris-
tocrat, with his hired puppets, you
may be sure that the solid substantial
body, the real backbone of the Re-
public are with you body and soul
Keep up the great work of aWak-
ening and enlightening your country

surely sweeping ''commercialism,

the upward path Of civilizations pro-
gress. Sincerely,
ILL., GEORGE McANINCH.

fall for it.
ga couple of weeks later two thou
sand comes, and the old man adds
that his sentiments is about the
same, only a little less cordial, and,
anyway, that is to be the last. By
the same post as he'd written to his
father by, Dicky sends letter to the
girl. He said he'd had bad luck, and
he thought it was his duty to let her
go, but if ever he made his pile and
she wasn't married he'd come back
to claim her.
ike was sort of glad that Dicky
got his money, being a good-hearted
sort of a fellow, and he agreed to sell
Dicky the Blue Shank for his two
thousand, and to throw in six
months outfit of -four and bacon into
the bargain. So Dicky starts out
again, and Ike smiles pleasantly and
allows that he'll run down South for
the winter, setting out just about the
time that Dicky's due to return.
after three months had gone by
l began to feel uneasy, somehow.
You see I'd sort of taken liking to
Dicky, and it seemed to me that it
was all right to sell him the Green
Star, seeing it was experience he was
getting, but that Blue Shank business
sort of unsettled me. hoped he'd hit |
upon a pocket somewhere on the
Blue Shank property, though Ike had |
gone over it with fine comb, And |
just as my hopes was beginning to |
sour me against Ike who should come
on the scene but the girl.
"She come in on the afternoon
coach and put up at Ike's hotel, and |
the first thing she does is, naturally, |
to ask for Dicky.
'Dicky2 asks Ike. 'Dicky Mears?
Why, yes. He started out to work a

GERMANS CONTINUE
TO BOMBARD RHEIMS

Paris, Sept. 22-The battle of the
Aisne. unprecedented in history for
destruction and slaughter, entered on
it's ninth day without any decisive ad-
vantage for either the allies or
strongly intrenched Germans.
The bombardment of Rheims con.
tiinued with unabated fury. The
heavy German guns, mounted on the
heights three miles from the city, are
knocking down the walls of the prin.
cipal buildings OF the town and many
noncombatants have been killed.
The Hotel de Willie. the museum,
the subprefecture and all neghboring
buildings have been destroyed almost
completely, it was announced.
Only few walls of the famous ca
thedral erected in the middle ages re-
main standing. The shells OF the
heavy German guns continue to re.
duce the great pile to mere heap Of
ruins,
The effect of the German artillery
fire upon the French and British
troops has been terrible, it is admit
ted. Some OF the heaviest German
guns have been shellins the allied po-
sitlons from distance OF seven miles.
All are cleverly masked.

Fighting Continues

ARMIES ON BOTH SIDES

Be||igerents Lay Claim to Sue

Result Is in Sight,.

London, Sept. 22-Thers is no VIC
tie of the Aisne, which has now ragged
in France for ten days. Both sides
lay claim to successes and favorable
positions. The ten days Of fighting,
with fierce artillery by day and night;
with infantry charges in which the
fighting has been hand to hand, and
with cavalry onslaughts when oppor
tunity offered, has shown one result
the soldiers of the three nations en-
gagged are becoming exhausted.
The human machine is weakening
under frightful demands made upon
it and lulls in the battling are ascrib-
ed simply to utter fatigue.
Another factor which has had a
notable effect on the conduct of the
operations has been the weather. An
incessant cold rain has flooded the
valley of the Aisne. The water has
overtlowed it's banks, roads and fields
are heavy and trenches are filled with
water.
The men are drenched to the skin
day and night and soldiers coming
from the front are enerusted with
mud. Wornout men are succumbing
to the hardShips of fighting and liv-
ing in the open under such weather
conditions and transportation of all
kinds, for both sides, has been made
much more difficult The men are
camping in the water French re-
ports say the Germans are suffering
from lack of food.
Germans Repulsed Is Report.
The official statement from Paris
says terrific bayonet charges in the
vicinity Of Craonne resulted in the
drawing back of the Germans with
heavy losses. In the country around
Rheims the Germans are confining
their efforts to heavy artillery fra

reported in Lorraine and the Vosges,
along the right wing of the allies. On
the allies left wing they have advanc-
ed to the heights of Lassigny, west of
Noyon, according to French reports.
No confirmation of the report that
the bulk Of the German army had be.
gon to retire from France has been
received in London. Though British
officials say the allies are gaining
ground their progress necessarily is
snaillike and the English public is
beginning to feel that the turning
point of the battle never will be reach
ed until one side or the other has
been outfanked. The suggestion that
the allies would accomplish this Sat
urday Or Sunday was not fulfilled and
apparently their efforts are being con-
tinued. For days the British press
referred to "Ven kuck's peril" but
so far the German commander has
been able to check what must have
been terrific pressure from the Brit
