one to try it. was locked up in
ignorance about it one time, due to
my abiding confidence in the honesty
of the Secretary Of our State Mission
Board, making no effort to know any

ter about anything, to try to do
better relative to it.
When a Fifth Sunday Meeting is
proposed my name is omitted from
the program, to break my relation
with our Baptist people, who always
give me good audiences and hear me
gladly, but | walk right in to the con-
sternation and chagrin of the sub
ordinate Catholicised Baptist CD

grit enough to do better when they
know better, and say what 1 please.
| do not propose to be ruled out
of order, either, by the enforcement
of fraudulent program in the name
of Christianity.
In conclusion, I deem it due that I
confess my Indebtedness to our uncle
T. E. W. for the efficient supply of
foreign mission ammunition fur

one dollar per year. 1t is the best
OF matter, and never misses fire with

If our Baptist people in Alabama
would pay one dollar for The JEFF

and be able to do something of real

A GEORGIAN WHO rs TIRED OF
r.. @. INTOLERANCE.

Dear Sir: The sentiment of re-
taliation against Roman Catholicism
is growing rapidly. hear express
sion of it often. The K. of C. are
organized, and have been for years.
Years ago l knew it as timid order
with an insurance feature as a pre-
tense. Many otherwise intelligent
men, even now, boot. at the idea that
the Catholics are bothering us. 1t
is strange some men of means and
influence do net get to work and or
ganize in their community branch
of the Free Press Defense League,
which is, in every sense, American.
Every daily paper in Georgia is
muzzled The editors are afraid of
boycott by subscribers, advertisers,
and the immediate walkout of Cath
Ollie printers. They have become
emboldened from stoning Protest
ant churches during service; assault
ing, kidnapping and killing lecturers,
knowing the American Protestants
only talk. But when they make the
Federal Government fine or imprison
that Georgian who has dug down
into history and cut the tap-root of
their system and for months been
severing the decorated, hypocritical
branches, then Georgians will not
tamely submit to the punishment of

for when you thus honor the negro
you have paved the way for his de-
mands upon you. I call to the at
tention of our people the fact that
they are breeding political ambition
in the negro when they allow this
state of affairs, and it is up to them
to demand of their public men that
the issue be summary met. and
that the disgrace be quickly met.
We are to accept no such excuses as
that negro political place is neces
sary, or that he cannot be ousted
from where he is already intrenched.
Are we to be told that so horrible a
disgrace is necessary? No! 1t is not
necessary, and the sooner our Gov
eminent understands it and gives us
relief, the sooner will it be accorded
confidence at our hands.
l render to you the sincerest trib-
ute of my heart for your own un-
compromising stand on this awful
question, for you have stood as the
tribune of white supremacy in
America! Faithfully yours,

CATHOLICISM IN BAPTIST. AT
FAIRS.
w. r. Whatley, Alexander City, Ala

w. r. Whatley, Alexander City, Ala.
Our Baptist Board, and our Bap-
fist Board paper, the Alabama Bap-
tist, have assumed Catholic control
of our Baptist churches in Alabama
to the extent of their ability to do so.
The fact that they have gone the
length they have for the purpose
proves they would go the full length
if they could.
They keep an untiring hawks
on them, and the very moment any
thing interferes with the dictum they
propose, with their knowledge of it,
to the least extent, they go to work
at once to expunge it, without any
regard whatever for the feelings or
interest of any Baptist not Gin line"
with them, by the we'll organized
methods they have inaugurated for
the purpose.
Rev. W. B. Crumton, Secretary of
our Baptist State Mission Board, has
his religious string tied to our Bap-
fist preachers right at the spot where
he can control every inch of the last
one of them, through The Alabama
Baptist, which is strictly in his paw
for that purpose; then from them,
he ties it to our Baptist churches.
When that is done, he sits high up
in the Bell building in Montgomery,
pulls his string, and rings his bell
until he wakes all of the Baptist ma
tives in Alabama, who are in his
hands like monkey in the hands
of a street organ-grinder, for a
response to his call with their hard
earned coin to educate and pamper
the children of the foreigner, while
theirs grow up in ignorance and go
to the devil, so far as he is con-
cerned
With great, swelling words, he
calls that Cooperation
Yes, it is, with a little to it, and
a great deal less than any that was
ever put in print, or seen by any
body.
Cooperation involves the ne
cessity of more than one voice in
Baptist affairs, for best results on
best ascertained principles, properly
considered for the purpose.
He admits nothing of the kind,
nor will The Alabama Baptist pub

If that is not Catholic popery, pray
tell me what it is, that may know

Baptist preachers they have in
charge of our Baptist churches, put
there by the Board machinery they
operate, to smear over and hide the
real facts from them, not at all
scrupulous about the honesty of the
language they use to do it.
There is no telling how many OF
our honest, Woodworking Baptist
people in Alabama ere in dire want
and need, while the eternal howl is
going on to rob them unjustly OF

SUMMER PRUNING
OF PEACHES.

In young peach trees making a
very heavy growth, a certain amount
of summer pruning is necessary to
enable the sun to strike the fruit
in the center of the tree and to color
it. Poorly colored peaches will not
find a ready market in a year when
fruit is as plentiful as it is to be this
year.
Summer pruning, according to the
horticultural authorities at the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, should be accomplished by cut
ting out a part of the new branches
growing in the center of the tree and
by thinning out the tops where four
or five shoots start from one central
point. Tipping is a practice which
tends to stop the upward growth of
a new shoot, causing it to branch and
making a tree with a better spread.
This is done by cutting off a few in
ches of the top of all the leading
shoots.
Summer pruning has a tendency to
check wood growth and to set fruit
buds for another year. 1t is seldom
practiced in old trees, but is of great
value in trees making their second
third and fourth summers growth.

Corduroy for Uniform.

In line with the information that
the foreign governments have found
the cloths used in uniforms unfit for
long service under conditions of mod
ern warfare, an inquiry has been re-
ceived in the market for corduroy,
the New York Times states. Reports
place the number of uniforms requir-
ed by a soldier in active service at
two a month. This is regarded a. an
exaggeration in many quarters, but
even if one new uniform a month was
needed to clothe the man at the front,
the amount of cloth that would have
to be made up for this purpose would
be tremendous. Corduroy seems adj
mirably adapted to use in strenuous
campaigns, and will probably give
much longer wear than the uniform
cloths now employed.

Original Turnpike.

1t was formerly the custom to OBJ
tain the funds to maintain principal
thoroughfares by collecting a toll
from those using them. Pixies or
gates were set across the roads by
the keeper or toll collector.
To prevent people who travelled his
road from passing without paying the
toll he was armed with a pike, a long
handled stick with a sharp iron head.
This was put across as a barrier, and
when the toll was paid it was turned
aside to permit the carriage or wagon
to pass on it's way. Hence the name
turnpike.
