THE TESTING.

THE TESTING.
When in the dim beginning OF the
years,
God mixed in man the rapture ana
the tears,
And scattered through his brain the
starry stun,
He said. Behold! Yet this is not
enough.
For I must test his spirit to make
That he can dare the vision and en-
dure.
az will withdraw my face.
Veil me in shadow for certain space,
And leave behind only broken clew,
A crevice where the glory gllmmers
through,
Some whisper from the sky,
Some footprint in the road to track
me by.
II will leave man to make the rate
full guess,
Will leave him torn between the no
and yes,
Leave him in tragic loneliness to
choose
Drawn upward by the choice that
makes him free
Leave him in tragic loneliness to
choose.
With all in life to win or all to lose

to be small and may become great, in the sheer
magnitude Of his unprecedented and unap-
proachabe jackassery.
IL Senator Goliath Smith had any real hon
esty, and any real political sense he would
never have detailed Badly Harris to come
down here from Washington, and cover the
situation with such comprehensive mass Of
imbecility.
OF course, it is gcnarally understood that
the Senator has been gorging himself on such
huge qualities of rich Washington food, and
has been taking SO little exercise, that he is
too feeble to make any speeches.
His over-eating lays him up, and will soon
confne him to his room, permanently.
But while he hasn't the physical strength
to do his own work in Georgia. he might
surely select better substitute than Badly
Harris.
There is Slick Thompson, Buddy Blalocz
and Hooker Alexander-to say nothing of
Boiling Jones, William Hairston and Walter
Andrews Surely any one Of these ardent
partisans of the over-fed Senator Smith
might do better than this ridiculous little

Another Great Book Against
italian E2OnepYe

THERE is one fact tremendously signifi-
cant, that | have been striving for years
to impress upon the minds Of our American
people.
The popish organization qchich calls Itself
the Cotholic cha3ch has no right to the qcord
'Coth03ic"
The meaning of that word is universal, as
opposed to local; and the popjsh organization
Is strictly local.
1t was born in Italy. It's parentage goes
back to the Italian paganism Of Pope, Sacred
College, Vestal nuns, priests of the altar, fes
tai ceremonies worship Of local divinities,
alteration Of images, burning incense, conse-
Grated candles, purgatory, professions and
sacrifices.
In Christianity, Christ is the sacrifice, once
for all. In Italy, the pagans were devoted to
frequent sacrifices; and hence the Lords Sup
per was twisted around until it became the
"Euch2rist," where nigger priest can take
piece<5sf hoocake and cup Of wine. and
change the two into the flesh and blood Of
Jesus Christ-thu8 sacrificing the Sacrafce,
again and again as many million times as
the priests think necessary.
In italy, this sickening superstition took
possession Of the Christian church at Rome;
and by the wicked shedding of innocent blood
throughout Europe, 1t imposed itself upon
countries outside Of italy
But for more than 400 years, all the popes
have been Italians, or Itolamzed Spaniards
For more than 300 years. all the popes have
been strictly Italians
The control Of the Sacred College, the
Curia, the inner machinery has all been
Italian.
1t as 50 2o1U.
A great parade was made Of the fact, few
weeks ago, that in the creation Of new Cardi-
mails, one-half Of the whole number were
international"
That is, they were born outside of Italy.
But why should the Universal Church give
one-half the cardinals, Plus the tnfazzi6zc
pope, to small country like Italy, a07lcro the
Catholics form a minority Of the popuzation?
There are only 100000 nominal Catho-
lies in Italy. The balance of the people are
Socialists, Jews, Waldensians, Free-thinkers,
Masons, Atheists, &c.
Everybody knows that. Yet these 10000
600 italian Catholics, with an Italian always
in the papal chair, claim the right to rule the
world.

He puts out his dummies, and slzulks in the

He fights by deputy, and libels by substi-

1t was The Self-appointed Senator Smith
who ordered the absurd little Cedartown joke
: to run for Governor.
1t was Senator Smith who arranged with
the present Administration to allow the Cen
sus taker TO leave his work at Washington,
continue to draw pay for the neglected work
and chase around the State of Georgia after
another office
This is what he says about his campaign
'''All | have to do is to meet them, glad
hand 'em, and then they are for me-
The glad-hand converts are the people Of
Georgia. They don't want to hear about 2lat-
forms, records, or principles They just want
to see Badly Harris, and be glad -handcd by
him, and then they surrender.
Such is the respectful conception that
Smith and his monkey have Of the intelligent
people of Georgia.
In his latest statement in the papers, VII
liam j. Harris, Federal officer launches a
TRADE of abuse at Col. Nat Harris, because
said he was faithful servant Of the people
In the legislature of 1928, and that he
alone fathered the archaeological Institute
which was doing vast work for the young
men Of the State, long before Senator Smith
became the beneficiary of The Piedmont Bar
room, Slick Thompsons talent, Bill Hairs
tons mighty pen, and Badly Harris spon-
tanecus servility.
[ also said that Col. Nat Harris is an able
man, good man, and widely developed
man.
[ might have added that he was following
the Stars and Bars, and putting his young life
between Southern homes and the Northern
invaders, when both myself and Badly Har-
his were listening in bovish terror to the sui
len boom Of cannon as it rolled from Kenno-
saw to Chatham.
Neither directly, nor indirectly, have I been
in touch with Col Nat Harris campaign.
What / wrote about him, as a constructive
legislator and good, strong man, was proba-
bly, as much Of surprise to him as it was to
Badly Harris, the asidious ape Of Hoke
Smith,
Even now, am not at all connected with
Col. Mats campaign land not committed to
vote for him.
AS an independent Editor, I paid a fellow
Georgian just and moderate tribute: as a
gentleman, he acknowledged it. That is all
absolutely all.
Yet, this poor little monkey, the Census
taker, not only lacks the laFgeness of mind
and heart to appreciate a thing like that. but
actually is stunid enough to tell the people
thew should defeat Col Nat, because pinned
a flower on his coat lapel!
The smallest men that ever showed up in
the contest for big office. have reased the risi-
bilities of mankind this year; but the smallest
among ten thousand and altogether small, is
this Census person who abuses me in one
breath for criticising oWodrow wilson, and
in the next for praising Col. Nat Harris
Really, there is no way for me to please the
Census taker. He refuses to be comforted
