France. Society women, although
they are interested in the war and
spend much Of their time and money

people of the approaching danger.
No doubt but this warning was the
cause of President Lincoln being as
sassinated. The Roman hierarchy
has gotten almost complete control
Of our government. The Roman
Catholic papers have made the boast
that they had rather have Tumulty
in the position that he occupies than
to have him President. 1t seems that
Tumulty and his clan have gotten the
big daily papers muZzled.
You Rip Van Wrinkle sleepers! The
dark cloud that President Lincoln
saw, and said it was the Roman
Catholic Church, is now gathering
for the storm
Waterman, what of the night!
You Protestant ministers, are you
doing your duty in warning the peo-
pie of the impending danger? Don't
you know that at different times and
places in the last twelve months,
Roman Catholic mobs have gone into
Protestant churches, and have taken
the speakers from the stand and car
ried them out of the church and
mobbed them? Are you afraid that
they will get you? Is that the reason
you keep so quiet?
Woe to them that are at ease in
Zion!
Thank God that we have one man
in Georgia that knows the old beast,
and is not afraid to speak out-a
man that is patriot-statesman, and
a Christian; man that is twenty
years ahead Of this generation; a man
that, through the light he is giving
the people, has caused thousands that
were once his enemies to love him;
a man that has been prosecuted for
advocating righteous cause; a man
that the money power could not
crush; a man that money can not
buy; man that is not afraid Of three
hundred thousand knights Of Column
bus, with their guns; a man that is
doing more today in warning the
people Of the dangers of Catholicism
than all the preachers in Georgia; a
man whose name will be emblaZoned
in the annals Of history as one of the
greatest men that the South has ever
produced-to-Wit, the Hon. Thos. E.

run, that | just feel like I want to
add my endorsement to it. feel sure
that Of all the obstacles that confront
our American citizens, the Roman
Catholicism is the greatest, and first,
with which we will have to contend,
which is the opposing spirit that has
ever stood in opposition to the relig-
ion Of our Blessed Lord, which is
especially referred to in Rev, 17-8,
and I feel that you are doing q won
derful work in unwilling the con-
cealed works Of this BabalOnian in
stitution, and ] am enclosing 10 cents
in postage for a copy of the fourth
degree Of the oath Of the knights Of
Columbus. I have stood as a Tom
Watson man ever since I heard you
speak in Waycross. about the date Of
1895, and ] hope that your life may
be spared to advocate the principles
of truth, that you are so ably defend
ing, as it seems that each issue that
arises before us, you take the right
side of the question.
SO you will please forward me
copy OF the fourth degree of Knights
of Columbus, and oblige.
Yours to serve,

A MARTYR.

Dear Sir: William Black, pa,
triot, died the death of martyr, at
Marshall, Texas, by the hands Of the
Knights of Columbus, ali order Of
mob and murder, because Mr.. Black
was exposing the Catholic priest
with women and girls in the vile dens
of the priest. Mr.. Black should have
a monument erected to his honor, and
I, for one, will contribute one dollar
to the cause.
Is this awful crime, committed in
our Southland, not enough to wake
UP our sleepy, Weakened Protes
tants?
We have been taught that this is
the land of the free and the home of
the brave.
Don't this awful crime show the
spirit Of the Roman Catholic Church?
How can you believe that this is a
Christian organization?
Christ said, eff you have not the
spirit Of Christ" that you are none Of
His.
These assassins that murdered Mr..
Black were doing just what they had
taken an oath to do, when they were
so commanded by their superior Off
GERS. No doubt they had received or
ders to murder Mr.. Black.

cloud of Romanism, and warned the

large rattlesnake one mile below town

kill it, as it was SO large he was so

CERE.
CERE.

Dear Sir: I have been admiring
the stand you take ever since I heard
you speak in Cuthbert, Ca, Randolph
County, away back in the nineties.
You used an oppression that day
that I never will forget, viz, 'I'd die
the death of dog before would sell
my country" I could see the SINGER
ity of your heart and honesty of pur-
pose in that expression then, and ever
since that time I have found you in
sympathy with the common people,
and ready to defend the right, regard
less of policy, but more especially the
stand you have taken in the Frank
case, and against Roman domination
OF our government.
Brother Watson, [ am an humble
Baptist minister of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ, and, believing as I do,
that the deciples of Christ should live
at peace among themselves, not Bit
Ing and devouring each other. I am
made to wonder who are his in this
age, when the warning factions Of the
Protestants are biting and devouring
and striving to supplant each other,
and we preachers seldom ever raise
our voice in protest against the en-
croachments Of Catholicism upon our
institutions.
Why is it? Oh, why is it? That
so many Baptist preachers are ready
to pounce upon you because you
don't agree with them on the mis-
sion question, when this is a free
country, and if we don't agree in
every particular on foreign missions.
[ feel as a brother in Christ l should
be charitable to you and allow you
to believe as your conscience Ii
reefs.
l an teaching school, near a Bap-
fist church, and yesterday evening
was the time set apart by the Stare
organizer Of WOman's work to organ
ize the w. M. u, and only one wom-
an Of the church met her. One of my
school girls went to the meeting,
came back and reported to me that
the organizer abused you or con-
demned you for the stand you are
taking on the mission question. She
stated, down there at the church,
that you were not respected in your
home community or town.
Oh, how disgusting; pretending to
meet IN service to the Master, and
because the women of the community
did not turn loose their domestic af-
fairs and flock to her, she had to
pounCe upon poor old T. f W., and
give him a rap, and he over 100
miles away.
Som 0times, Brother Watson, L
wonder who will stand on the watch
tower Of our Nation, when you are
called from labor to rafreshment.
May Gods blessings rest upon you,
and may you be shielded from harm
for many years to come, is the pray
er of your brother in Christ.
