10 TRAVELLING MANS LETTER.

Dear Sir: l have travelled Geor-
gla for tWenty-six years, selling doc
tors supplies, and am also a Tom
Watson crank. l swallow everything
that gentlemen say, raw--and daily
advise others to do SO. l have been
the means Of inducing many people
to buy Watson's publications. and
hope to induce many more to do so.
You have been defeated in cleo
lions some times; but, believe me,
you can reach out now and get any
political plum you want.
Sail in, old friend; here is one who
is backing you.
Hope the sales Of The Weekly
JeIfersonian were satisfactory this
week. My, but that roast Of Slaton
was a corker! You sure can sling
the Queens English to beat royal
flush.
Don't you think it would be a.
grand idea to save all our ripe eggs
and septic turnips to pelt Slaton
with?
Hope this finds you we'll, fat and
happy, and editing The Jeffs for at
least 200 years.
Ii at any time | can be of any
service to you, command me.
Yours truly,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-07-29
MS.

Dear Sir: 7 have often desired to
write you a letter, and at least, at
tempt to tell you just how much I
and others here appreciate you and
the fight you are making for the
poor, down-trodden. May God, in
his great love and mercy, bless and
guard you. AS for the citizens of
grand old Georgia. They must hang
their heads in shame and sorrow.
Well, l cannot trust myself to say
more.
I started to write you and ask can
I send in one. two or three, or more
names at a time and get the maya
zine or weekly JeffersOnian. You
see, have sent club Of 10 or more
each year for three or four years.
1t is hard work to get up a club
of 10 at one time. So many pa
pers crowded on the people, almost
for nothing, and worth less than
nothing, all to get wide circula-
ton and secure ads.
Yes, there seems to be concert
ed effort to encourage the people
to read Buncomb and Tom-Foolry,
and thus lead them as far from
truth and common honesty as pos
sible It is a hard job to get poor
laboring men to send to Georgia for
a paper when the home man will
send his for wood. Yes, even in hot
weather; anything to get up a list
of names to help out the advertise
ment cause.
Say, / like to have forgot, what
become Of the Free Press you allude
to so often? When it seems the
press of the nation sold out to
Frank, anG now, sad as it seems, a
great Texas Editor extolls Gov.
Slaton, calls him an exceptionally
great man Of courage on his con-
victions. May the good Lord deliver
us from all such.
.(Note. 1.-Two or three men have
asked me if they could get the JEFF
fersonian for SO cents Since l sent
in my club, so l am compelled to tell
to tell them no. Not unless l can
get 10. So am writing you now
to see if 1 cannot send in other
names.

REV JOHN SINS MAKES A GOOD
INVESTMENT FOR US.

Dear Sir: While at your home
town, some few months ago, I
bought some of you cards at sec
each, and I mailed one Of the club
cards to one of your enemies, and I
have heard from him since he re-
ceived the card, and he is now will
ing to. give $4,000 for the establish
ment of the Daily Jeffersonian in
Atlanta.
Let's keep the good work going.
So the investment of SO cents brings
$4,000. You should be encouraged.
Respectfully,
Ga. JOHN N. SIMS.

tAe acton Of Georgia's governor in
the Frank case, the communication OF
the Frank sentence is not to be taken
as merely the saving Of man from
capital punishment-it means that
the pressure OF dollars has been
strong enough to undo a verdict of
twelve juror0s who were convinced
beyond doubt that Leo Frank was
guilty Of that heinous- crimei
Governor Slaton has yielded to
outside pressure-either through
weakness or through some potent
1niluence-and has cast a blot upon
the history of his state never to be
effaced. He has told the people of
Georgia, by this action, that riches
will buy pardons; that the treat
ment Of man with rich friends
should he different from that of a
poor man! And from his action
crimes will terminate and men Will
become more helpless in their at
tempts to get justice in the courts.
Suppose that the negro, Conley,
had been found guilty Of that

trumped up for Frank; suppose that
the Negro should have been found
to be the same sort Of degenerate
as is the fellow Trank-would
to be the same sort of degenerate
Governor Slaton have committed
his punishment? Isn't it entirely
probable that the Negro would have
been lynched efore he had had
trial?
But Frank had thousands of dol
lars spent for him; not by
friends '--we cannot believe that
Frank has real friends-but by
members of his race who abhor the
thought Of Jew dying on the gal
lows. This money was used by
master minds; it was used to buy
up venal newspapers; used to work
up sentiment in distant states where
the hideeus details of the crime and
the type of character of the muir
derer were never told; used in num-
berless ways, and at last it's effect
brought Communication from the
governor of Georgia.
The transaction is one of the
most disgraceful that the South has
ever known-the governor of Geor-

HARRINGTON TO
APPEAL TO j. S.
SUPREME COURT

On the ground that certain actions
OF Judge Harry V. Osborne during the
trial of Cornelius j. Harrington for
running disorderly house prejudiced
the jury, and resulted in his convic-
ton, Harrington will appeal to the
United States Supreme Court. The
application to have the highest court
in the land pass on the case will prob
ably be made next week by Edwin G.
Caffrey, counsel for Harrington.
Mr. Caffrey today applied to Chief
Justice William S. Gummere, of the
New Jersey Supreme Court, to have
the record certified to the United
States Court, Where a writ of error
is to be sued out The chief justice
pointed out that the remittitur Of the
case had been returned by the Court
of Errors to the lower court, taking
II out of his jurisdiction. For that
reason he denied Mr. Caffrey's appli-
cation. The latter said he would now
apply direct to a United States Court
justice.
The main point in the appeal to be
taken by Mr.. Caffrey is an alleged
violation OF Harrington's constitu-
tional rights TO a trial by due process
of law. Judge Osborne, he claims,
prejudiced the case by ordering the
arrest of one of Harrington's wit
nesses in the presence of the jury and
by intimating that he believed the
witness guilty of perjury. Judge
Osborne's rebuke to counsel when OBJ
lection was made is also cited as
tending to intimidate the jury and
prejudice them against the defendant
and his counsel.

cars, his brother was partly buried
under one of the machines and the

tween the vehicles escaped with a

car, and people who gathered soon
freed him. Among those who assisted
in the rescue work was knockout"
Brown. the pugilist. who lives near
the scene of the accident. Had the
car taken fire the boy would have
been burned to death. A false report
to the effect that the gasoline tank
had exploded was spread. This caused
considerable excitement.
Hundreds of people had gathered by
the time The boy had finally been
freed from his perilous position. !.
The noise made by the crash could
be heard for more than a block away.

BOMBS ABOARD

NEW YORK. July 10.-Nine bombs
were found aboard the steamer Kirk
oswald, at Marseilles. when the ves-
sci went to discharge it's cargo Of
sugar from New York, on her last
outward voyage according to the
Kirkoswald's officers who reported
here today on the steamers return
trip.
None of the bombs exploded and all
were hidden in bags of sugar. the
Kirkoswald's officers said The sugar
was taken aboard, they said, at the
Fabre line pier, in Brooklyn. -
All the bombs were found while unl

vessels which, 1t was learned recent
ly, sailed out of New York with
bombs secreted in her cargo, two de-
parted within a few days of the Kirk
oswald. These we're the Lord Erne,

which left here May T.
Like the I<irkoswald. both these
vessels were British and both sailed
for French port. The United States
Secret Service and the French gov
ernment, It was said, have been
pressing Investigations of these at
tempts to destroy the vessels.
Whether other instances, notably
that of the Kirkoswald. were under
investigation could not be ascer-
tanned here.
The Kirkoswald is a vessel of 4,021
tons gross register, Is $40 feet long
and was built in 1912. She was cleared
from this port May /. by j. w. Ell
well X Co., agents OF the Fabre line.
Six OF the bombs were found In one
sack of sugar which burst as the
steamer was discharging its cargo
with slings. The bombs were round
and small and rolled on the vessels
deck Another sack contained three
bombs
The bombs were all alike. Where
the explosive had been placed was
sealed with soft tallow or grease
placed over the opening, apparently
with the idea of producing combus-
tion in the heat of the hold. Beneath
the grease on each bomb was per-
cussion cap. None of the bombs had
been affected by the heat. The sacks
containing them had been taken from
the ordinary cargo holds.
