BE 1T SO ENACTED,
AMEN

Dear Sir: Enclosed find $1OO for
The Jeff for another year. Be it dis
tinctly understood by the party of
the second part one T. E. Watson,
that in case the Hon. Congressman,
Fitzgerald and Gallivan, succeed in
having passed the law they now
seek, that in that case the party Of
the first part, your humble subscri-

the said Hon. congressman, the
amount as herein stated, to-wit:
$1.0O, and further your deponent
saith not.
Whereas, the trend Of affairs at
this time appears to be along the
line of America for Americans, and
the duty. of the citizens Of this Re-

should be in the hands Of Americans
at all times.
Yours, in the fray,

HEARTY LETTERS LIKE THIS
MAKE THE WORK WORTH
WHILE

Dear Sir: 1 cannot refrain from
writing to let you know how the
good people Of Atlanta and of the
whole South, appreciate the stand
you have taken in the notorious
Frank case.
The heart Of every virtue loving
man and women in the whole South
land beats in unison with what you
write and your name will be cher
rished as long as virtue is a priceless
gem, as long as sentiment rules,
and as long as memory lives.
[ have been reading the sodomite
Cor Golfers Weekly which heaps
insult on injury and is so unjust in
it's handling the Frank case that no
person who has been brought up in
the beautiful civilization and glori-
GUS sentiments of the South, can
read it without feeling a just indig-
nation.
1t says, with the finding of the
body of Mary Phagan that Sunday
morning, there began in Atlanta
public delirium, which has hardly
yet after a year and a half, sub
sided"
Thank God for such a sentiment,
it never will subside in this glorious
Southland as long as memory lives.
Tell them about it. With best
wishes for your Uncle T. E. w.

THE .JEFFERSONIAN
ARE THE PEOPLES MINDS OPEN
FOR CONVICTION?

Dear Sir: l think now is the time
for us who are on the firing line to
get busy and send in subscriptions,
as the people will learn now while
there is no campaign on hand, and
the peoples minds are clear and
open for conviction If We wait until
the beginning Of another campaign
their minds are likely to be clouded
by the false statements of the big
daily papers and become prejudiced
so that the door of knowledge will
be closed against the real truth,
which is always to be found in The
Jeffersonians. | notice that when
the political waters are still, the peo-
pie will agree with you, but when
they are stirred the old prejudices
arise again, and many of the COM
mon people will abuse the best
friend they have ever had, to-wit,
Thomas E. Watson.
But fight on, Dear Tom, the time
will surely come, but perhaps after
you are asleep with your fathers,
when the names of many illustrious
men have faded from American his
tory, the name Of Tom Watson will
shine in letters of gold.
Most truly yours,
Ga. L. Y. ALLGOOD.

THE JEFFS LOSE ANOTHER OLD
FRIEND

Dear Sir: DR.. M. L. Balkcom, of
Newton, Ala, fell dead from heart
failure at that town yesterday, at
the age of 70.
He was a Confederate veteran,
staunch member of the Populist
party, a lover of The Jeffersonian,
and one Of Mr.. Watson's strongest
admirers.
In him, the cause for which Mr..
Watson is spending his life work,
has lost one of it's most sincere sup
porters. Yours truly,
Ala. A SUBSCRIBER.

LETTERS OF THIS KIND CHEER

Dear Sir: I am sending list of
subscribers to The Jeff and for The
Jeff. I am doing my utmost to help
you spread the undeniable truths
that you are teaching by putting it
in the hands of every one l can, and
may an All-wise God lead you and
direct you in the grand and glorious
work you are doing, and may the
great principles you are teaching,
soon cover the earth, as the waters
cover the sea. May God keep you,
and keep you in health and strength,
both in mind and body is my daily
prayer.
Yours in the cause,

CONVENT INSPECTION IN MASSA-
CHUSETTS. BILL INTRODUCED
TO THAT EFFECT.

Why should any institution calling
itself "religious'' or ''charitable'' de-
mand exemption from government in
spection? Getting their funds from
the public, why should not the public
know what they are doing? Is there
anything supremacy sacred about
such places, SO that one need put off
his shoes when he approaches them,
or that fire from heaven will fall
and consume any who enter the
premises?
Why should health inspectors, fire
inspectors, census takers, and other
officials be barred out? Why should
there be such unjust discrimination
in favor of these institutions, and the
laws enforced, with penalties, against
all others?
If there is nothing to fear from
such inspection, why not open the
doors to proper officials? If there is
anything to fear, then is there neces-
sity for new and proper statutes in
this matter.
Massachusetts is Acting.
The following is the bill just in
PRODUCED into the Massachusetts
Legislature:

AN EXPERIENCE IN JERUSALEM

Dear Sir: The story you quoted
from traveller who was lately in
Palestine reminds me of a little in
cident in my own experience
1t is true that the Turkish Govern
ment keeps a military force at the
Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to
maintain the peace between the
Christians Of the different sects, be-
cause it has been demonstrated that
they will fight each other for ex-
elusive possession, or on account of
theological differences.
But the followers of Mahomet are
themselves sometimes not very ami
cable towards Christians. In March,
1903, | was with a party of excuru
sionists in the city Of Jerusalem, and
one afternoon l took a walk over
to the Mount of Olives, and on re-
turning 1 thought to save some dis
lance by crossing parade ground
north of the site of Solomon's Tenn
pie.
Soon after entering the open
square I saw a small boy, and giving
him a coin, [ named my hotel and
gave him to understand that [ wanted
to be shown the way to it. Appar-
emily he was willing to serve me and
we proceeded on our way, and when
nearly half way across, there came
running from near a building which
looked like military barracks, half
a dozen other boys of 8 to 10 years
of age, whose first business was to
knock my guide down and to threaten
anu try to strike me with their fists.
trio n nd
some stones with which to lombard
me, but fortunately there was none
to be found on the smooth surface
of the square. [ had an umbrella
and kept it swinging SO as to keep
them away from me, and I turned
my steps at once in the direction of
the nearest edge of the square, which
by rapid travelling | reached without
any mortal wounds, and where the
young Turks abandoned the attack.
My little guide who was knocked
down was doubtless a MahOmmedan
also, but got his punishment for be-
ing willing to serve a Christian.
When | reached my hotel | in
dulged in few mental speculations.
Did the boys alone see me and make
the attack on their own initiative, or
did the soldiers see me, and keeping
themselves out of sight, send the
boys after me, intending, if l did any
damage to them, to rush out and
shoot me or take me prisoner?
They might have taken me into
the barracks and disposed of me in
such a manner that none of my peo-
pie would ever have known what
became of me-.
Any how, I had the more or less
pleasant experience of being mobbed.
Yours truly,
Ga. THOMAS HUNT.
