GENTLEMAN.
Mr., C. r. Cunningham, Manager Cir
Culation, Southern kuralist, Allan
ia, GA.
My Dear Sir: Replying to my
phone message ordering the cancel
lation Of my subscription to The
Southern Ruralist, you ask in your
letter of the 14th inst: 1--WE would
like to know why you wanted it
discontinued, as you have consider
able time coming to you yet? 1t is
the customm, when one does not
want The Ruralist, to give some 9TH
er farmer friend advantage of it for
the unexpired time"
| want you to know, Mr.. Cunning
ham, that l hold nothing against you,
and what l herein write is not in
tended to give you the least offense.
| cannot reflect on the inheritance
of generations by allowing paper
to come to my home that is edited
by a man who is so ungentle as to
write rudely, insultingly to a lady
inquirer, as did your Mr.. Stock
bridge in the case Of Texas lady
who sought information as to the
Frank case; and | would offend these
inherited instincts were | to receive
or cause any American gentleman to
receive future copies OF a paper ed1-
ted by this man StocKbridge, after
he had wantonly, slanderously and
lhelously involved the purity OF
little working girl Of my adopted
State, in yenal, prostituted attempt
to shield her brutal destroyer.
No. | cannot allow The Southern
Puralist to come to my address. and
although my substitution is not yet
expired. I will not insult the home
of my friend or acquaintance by or
dering such paper sent to another.
No page edited by this crue; and
vulqer Stcckbridge deserves to be
admitted into any sel-respecting
home Instead of helping to extend
tie circulation of the articles of one
so low. | would like for every farmer
in Georgia to say to your manage
ment: eve will have no more OF
Ttockbridge or any paper he edits. I"
Ills citizenship should not be toler-
atod
With due respect for you, I am,
Yours truly.

SAYS WAYNE COUNTY is WITRs

Dear Sir: AS subscriber for your
paper, it Just fills me clear up to the
brim to read same, and | look and
long for each coming copy. From
your stand in the Frank case it
doesn't seem possible that a man
could gain friends as you have
throughout the entire county. I be-
lieve I can honestly say SO per cent
of the county of Wayne is with you.
Go it, old boy, and show the ras-
Gals up. I, for one, will ever be by
your side.
Let us hope the new paper in At
lanta will be as great a success as
the Jeffersonian. | also like your
writing on Foreign Missions. al
though I am a Missionary Baptist.
Yours for success,
