Dear Sir: Enclosed find $3.50 for
fifteen Subscribers to The Jeffer-
sonian.
Allow me to say that no pleasanter
visitor comes to my home than the
Jeffersonian, for it is always brim
full Of choice literature, msubsS-
died.
It is one of the doors unshut to
American independence. It's beacon
light of val0r shines from the hill
top Of wisdom, justice, and modera-
ton in our government Of affairs,
both State and national.
Whenever any man or set Of men
differ with it politically, or other
wise, this great door of liberty, The
Jefersonian, swings wide open to
publication and discussion of any,
and every issue, that concerns free
people.
AS a just and sincere populace,
we ought to praise it's promoters for
their very works sake; and adGnire
them for their denunciation of evil
doors.
Is it strange, do you marvel fell
loW-countrymen that any should try
to rob them Of the glory they richly
deserve, though they differ ever so
widely in the representation Of
questionable or unquesti0nable facts.
In my opinion, it is the degenerate,
crafty politician, the hypocrite who

A HEARTY LETTER FROM TEXAS,
WHERE THERE ARE LOTS
OF GEORGTANS.

Dear Sir: Please pardon me, but
7 must talk to you for q short time
right out of my heart. | am a native
of Georgia and feel most like we are
kinfolks I am proud Of my native
State, for she has produced some
ilIustrinous men, but it is not my
purpose to put flowers on the grave
of the dead, but to scatter q little ray
Of sunlight in the lives of the living.
I sure enjoy reading the jeff and
anxiously look for it each week. I
admire the way you handle the Re-
man Catholics, that internal political
corporation that calls itself the only
true church. | admire your man
hood and ability to uncover the rot
tenness of such an outfit, and what
you do for the present Democratic
Administration is q plenty. / have
voted the Democratic ticket ever since
] was Old enough to vote, but it seems
to me that it is time for a change, or
at least put men in olhce that will
stand by the platform on which they
are elected. / notice that some men
are wanting to yoke you and Reese
Wit up in q Presidential campaign.
I can't understand what they want
with Teddy, with his connection with
the Roman, Catholics. I read in the
Post-lnteligencer of December s, of
Seattle, Wash, a column write up
concerning the way Carranza and
Villa rated the priest and nuns and
he claimed this Government was re-
spOnsible for and a party to their
acts. Why don't men in their writ
ings put you III front for the Presi-
dency, and thereby get the right man
in the right place. I believe you are
the most eminently qualified, both
intellectually and morally, spiritual
ly and otherwise to Fill the Presi-
dents chair of any man in America,
and / am not drunk when I say it,
You are doing a world of good in
this old world, SO just keep up the
fight. I often wonder who God will
call to fill your place when you are
gone to your reward. The Jefferso-
MAN and the Menace are waking up
this old sleepy America, and l hope
God in His mercy will spare you yet
many years to fight the battle for
truth and righteousness, is the earn
est desire of one who admires you
for what you aree.
Your friend,

FROM AN OLD CONFEDERATE
SOLDIER.

Dear Sir: Through the courtesy
of friend I have been reading your
great paper, 1.-THE Jeffersonian,' and
to say that I enjoy it, is a mild ex-
preston. May God spare you for
many years and speed your good
work. I am an old Confederate
veteran and was in the battle of
Resaca, where the Kirkhanl incident
occurred, but did not know Kirkham
personally. I was all around At
lanta and Dalton, Ca, also all
through Virginia, North and South
Carolina. was in the goth Ala,
and am rs years old, but haven't
read anything that hits the nail so
centrally on the head as the jeff.
shall try to get club for same soon.
Respectfully your admirer,
Ala. WIN. J. HASSELL.

HEARD CHAMP CLARK CONIPLI-
MENT II. e. w.

Dear Sir: Please find my check
for a renewal of the Magazine. By
the way, l heard Champ Clark lee
ture to the college girls in Milledge-
Vile, and in this lecture he paid you
the highest compliment [ ever heard
Of being paid to any person. He
said that he was going to write you
letter and ask you to quit throwing
your valuable time and talent away
on petty politics and politicians, that
you were above them both and that
neither were worthy Of your time,
and to write history Of the great
men of Georgia, such book as no
other living person could write, a
book that would live and be read
for a thousand years to come The
large audi fence seemed to agree with
Mr. Clark and cheered the compliment
most heartily.
With kindest regards to the family
and best wishes for happy and pros
porous New Year, am,
Your friend,

AN OLD POP, ON TIE TIMES.

~AAN 0AAD Va O4N Il kAAH
Dear Sir: Does it seem strange
to you how the great mass of the
people will submit to the will of the
few, makes no difference what form
of government. They will whine and
sigh, then succumb and bleed. Our
own case is q fine illustration, they
submit to the government spending
millions Of their money to bring
home stranded citizens who could not
find any grand mountains, beautiful
lakes, water falls and great rivers in
their own country, but must spend
millions of dollars tramping through
other lands. While they had likely
never gone 25 miles from the place
Of birth. (They do not COM
plain when their government gives
millions to flood and earthquake VIC
TINS. the latter they should have
done.) John Smith has a lot Of corn
he can't sell for seyenty-five cents
a bushel. He put it into Whiskey
which he could not sell fer cost Of
corn when it first comes from the
still. The gOvernmnt says, John you
eve me one dollar and twelve cents
q gallon tax on that whiskey. You
can roll it into my warehouse and let
it stay there eight years without cost
and I will wait on you for he tax
without interest until you sell, which
v0u can do at any time it suits you,
and YOU can use my receipt as col
lateral any bank will lend money on
it. John lets it stay there two years
and sells for two and half or three
dollars a gallon, and if he lets it stay
there four years it is four dollars a
gallon
Here comes Bill Jones with a bale
of cotton which he can't sell for half
the cost of production II asks the
government to advance him twelve
cents a pound on it and give him two
years to redeem it at four per cent
interest. Oh nc, Bill, cant do that,
it would be paternaIism. But you
can sell your cotton, buy corn
and put into Whiskey which you can
roll into my warehouse and Will wait
on you eight years for my tax with
out interest or cost Of storage. The
cotton farmer doesn't ask the govern
ment to give him one cent, only give
him the same chance with his cotton
as he gives the other fellow with his
whisEey Our own Southern Con-
gressmen are solely responsible for
Congress not giving the Gotten in
terest relief Our man West came
back smiling and giving as his eX-
cuse for voting against the bill, it
was too radical Tt is not too radical
for me TO be forced to sell my cotton
for half cost to pay tax to pay him
his fat salary. IF the cotton farmer
and country merchant have any of
the spirit or 1876 left in their COM
position, they will spot every mem
Der who did not work and vote for
the relief measures now before Con-
gress. What gQod do these new
banks do the small farmer, he did
not want to borrow money, but he
wanted to sell his cotton for q pay
ing price This Southland has hun
ger and bankruptcy staring it in
the face. We have lived through
four panics, 35-57-73 and the Cleve-
land panic, but they were nothing
compared to this. 1t matters little to
me old friend, for we will soon have
to pass in our checks. Strange they
could not listen to your warnings.
Truly your friend,
Ga. r. l.. BIRDSTON.

Dr. James Crutchfield. president of Columbia College, and former pre- siding elder of the Southern Metho- dist church in this state, preached at Central Methodist church yester- day MT. Crutchfield is well known in the state outside of church circles having had the unique experience for minister of having seat in the constitutional convention when Ari zona was admitted to the union.
 The sermon was on the subject of Christian Assurance" from the text T know in whom l have believed"
 Dr. Crutchfield said in part as follows:
 The statement of this text to an agnostic is a contradiction in terms, but to a child of God it is the acme of certitude and logical eXactness Belief and Knowledge, far from be- ing exclusive, are mutually inclusive and cooperative. Faith offers no letter to the intellect No man is led by it into blind or illogical fancy. On the contrary it enlightens the mind to a clearer perception of truth. It sweeps by the imagination in it's swiftest flights and goes beyond it in the infinitudes of it's boldest eX- cursions. It enters boldly into the holy of holies there to commune with God in intimate association and friendly companionship.
 Victor Hugo has said that to place the infinite below in contact with the infinite above by a process of thought is called prayer. This contact results in a knowledge of God such as no thought could pro duce. In the light Of this knowledge righteousness becomes a ruling pas sion. Sin blaCkens to the view Time is annihilated and the scenery of the Judgment is unrolled to the view. The believing soul is safely anchored Eere while the wavering mind of the onbeliever is tossed restlessly to and fro on sea of doubt.
 Death and Life are different to the man who has learned to know God. Mortality gives place to life The grave which was wider than | the star sown wayne of space be- comes a mere transition from weak ness to strength, a passage from out the clouds into heavens bright blue. \ ledDing upward from corruption in to purity and power. Life becomes a state of thrilling joy. The con- sciUusness of acceptance makes the heart leap. Job joins with D. L. Moody and Paul with Fanny Crosby tXulting together as they share in the foretastc of the glory given them. To their glad song is added the chorus of five hundred million living Christians and the myriads~ of trium- ghant souls rejoicing in the reality of that hoped for life in glory with the captain cf their salvation
