"A GOOD FRIEND WRITES US A
MOST ENCOURAGING LETTER.

Dear Sir: [ will write you a few
lines, because l feel a great interest
In your work. You are doing more
Tor the common people of America to-
day than any human being on earth.
| want to say to you that I never
have seen the people change as fast
IN all Of my life, as they have in the
last few months.
The people at large, and all the
business men of Camilla, Ca, who
always spoke of Mr.. Watson as man
whom they did not care to read after,
and that they thought you were a
very smart man, but they thought
you were wrong. Today they say
that you are right, and we need you
in the State of Georgia to keep the
people posted and to expose rotten
politics, that the people may keep
up with them.
l think the way you are exposing
our Government in making new
money and lending it to the specu-
lators at 3 per cent to buy our cotton
as cheap as possible, and to the ma
tional banks to lend at per cent,
and then for Mr.. Wilson to insure the
cotton for the speculator at $40 per
bale, and then pay the Spectator,
when that cotton is destroyed, that
is a nice piece of business for the
favored few and special class.
l think if you will expose many
more such tricks as that of Mr.. Will
son and his clan, it will be an eye
opener to the Solid South.
I have heard lots of Democrats say
they never would vote for Il Demo-
cratic President again end that they
did not like the way that Cardinal
Gibbons and Tumulty were debating
to Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Watson, was ct S. A. Rodden-
berry's home, at Thomasville, Ca, a
short while before his death, and
rode out over his farms with him.
While going along, I asked him, was
1t true THAT the Roman Catholic
Church was seeking every advantage
1t could to control this Government,
and he said to me, that the Roman
Catholic Church had this Government
by the throat, now; and said that you
and all the rest Of the reform papers
had not begun to tell all the corrup-
ton that was at the head of the Ro-
man Catholic Church; he stated that
the Roman Church members did not
know anything about the corruption
that was at the head of the church;
he stated that the head of the church
tried to keep the members as ignor-
ant as possible, and said it was a
shame for these nunneries to be kept
as they were; he said the State ought
to investigate them at once.
Mr.. Watson, the way those Knights
of Columbus killed Mr.. William
Black, of Marshall, Texas, is chang
ing the people faster than anything
can be done. A few more things of
that kind will awaken the sleeping
American people.
Mr.. Watson, every man thinks for
himself, and if an honest thinking
man reads your paper few times, he
will call for it again, or want to sub
scribe for it. Mr.. j. G. Stanford and
myself are getting all the subscribers
we can for you, and we viii send them
in to you.
Mr.. Watson, I want to beg you, for
the sake of your family, and for the
benefit of this American Government,
and for the sleeping American Prod
estant people, that l am sure are be-
ginning to awake, to be careful with
yourself.
You are fighting the battles today,
with your paper and Magazine, that if
you can live and continue your fight,
you will win the battles that we Pro-
testant people will have to fight in
the future, and then this country will
