FROM AN OLD GEORGIAN IN
TEXho
TEXAS.

Dear Sir: I notice my subscrip-
ton to The Jeffersonian will expire
in few days, and I herewith en-
close money order for renewal for
another year.
I am an old Georgia Confederate
veteran, in my 18th year, and was
rewarded during the conflict with
two desperate wounds, which will go
with me to the grave. I was a mem
Der Of Company 3, Twenty-first
Georgia. The Company went from
Rome, Ca, commanded by Capt. A.
S. Hamilton. I would be truly glad
to hear from any one of the old COM
pany Address Box As, Comanche,
Texas.
I have been an interested reader
of The Jeffersonian for several years
and | believe you are the greatest
exponent of truth and righteousness
than any man living. God be with
you is the sincere prayer of your
friend and brother. Respectfully,
Texas. r. M. GARNER.

MASS MEETING in ATLANTA

Dear Sir: We held mass meeting
last night on the north side of the
State Capitol, about 5000 being
present. This mass meeting was
held to protect the laws of the State
against the disgraceful seige of Big
Money being handled in violation of
law to defeat Justice. We heard one
grand old apostle defend this great
State against horde of mercenary
newspapers, lawyers, preachers, etc.,
who have never ceased to defame
our State and to defy our courts.
and very attentive 1t ended with a
hymn. We passed a resolution up
holding the courts of our great
State, and demanding her verdicts
be enforced the same for the rich as
for the poor.
1t seemed to us last night that the
lawyers had sold the law and the
preachers had forgotten it. The at
torney's oath requires them to up
hold the law, and l presume all
preachers are supposed to read the
laws of God. To the lawyers may I
ask, Who passed the death sentence
on this son of Father Abraham? To
the preachers may I ask, Who passed
the first death sentence on the face
of the earth? We pause for a re-
ply. Gentlemen, this rape and muir
der stinks above the earth and cries
to God for vengeance, Who says
vengeance is Mine"
This grand old brother, A. G.
Hendley, belongs to the greatest
brotherhood on earth and is No. 1
Baptist minister, and he said: II am
one preacher who cannot be bought"
There were hundreds of cries for
Watson. Dorsey and Henley.

.cHIcAeo's FAMOUS
 "ALL-ALoNEY GIRL
 ENGAGED TO WEI


 Chicago's "all-aloney" girl is to be 'ail-aloney" no more, for she is soon to be the bride of Albert NJ. d'Alk. aine, a wealthy member of the Argen- tine commission to the worlds fair at San Francisco, according to a dispatch received In Chicago last night The "all-aloney" girl is Miss Virginia Rappe. who resided at S9OS Grand Boulevard. She declared any girl with original ideas can come to Chicago and make S4,O0O year. She pro- nounced Chicago to be the best place in the world for an "all-aloney" girl to make her way. As a model for Chi cago commercial artists. Miss Rappe became celebrated as a calendar girl and later entered the field of fashion in which she originated several start ling and successful modes. While crossing the Atlantic a couple of years ago. Miss Rappe created interest by introducing Roman anldet bracelets as part of her dancing costume, which included a slit skirt and pink pantel- lettes made after the style of 1850. Miss Rappe met D'Alkaine while on a visit to the exposition where he was arranging for the exhibition of the South American republic he repre- sents. The engagement was disclosed inadvertently by Miss Rappe, and she later confessed it by a more formal announcement, according to the dis patch.-(Chicago Herald)

Other rulers and leaders win hold sim liar ceremonies. It is expected. and August 4th win bring no joy to these solemn gatherings.
 The day is likely to force @ retro spect in the minds of the European rulers. The nefarous work Of year has wrought many changes. There is no country in Europe that has benefit ted. The victories of warfare that assuage much of the human grief are lacking Brilliant achievements and valiant sacrifice have marked the con- duct of che war from all quarters.
 The war thus far has been a draw in the eyes of distinguished observers. All Of the terror the suffering. the toll Of death and the impoverishment of great nations has gone for naught The map Of Europe remains practical iy unchanged.

 But Europe is in economic ruins. Germany's great industries are brok- en. her trade wiped out Her indus tries were the very foundation of her greatness. France and Russia are heavy sufferers economically. in their agriculture and building industries. England. though less affected. owing to her geographical situation and the caimness of her people has had @ growing problem to face.

PUBLISHER URGES

SEATTLE. Aug 7,- Tho leading Coast cities should get together and urge upon the government the advis- ability of development of Alaska, unhampered by the present govern mental restrictions, declares F w. Kellogg. publisher and one of the own. CTS Of the San Francisco Can, who, with Mrs. Kellogg and their laughter. Miss Ellen Kellogg is registered at the New Washington enrout to De- troit With the development of the Northern Territory will come general prosperity for the whole Pacific coast and there win be less need Go SO abroad for markets" he said.
 "The present is the Pacific Coasts opportunity to profit by Alaska. All that the Coast needs is an intelligent development of this great territory and this will come # the government can be induced to permit development without government restrictions. All this time and worry over developing foreign markets is wasted, for we have a market nearer home that at the present time will be a producer. It is time for the coast cities to get together and demand some action on this Alaskan matter"
 See5 Good In Expedition
 Mr. Kellogg believes that the expo. sition at San Francisco has done a great deal of good In opening the eyes Of Fasteners to the value of the Pacific Coast. Not only does San Francisco benefit. but also Seattle and other coast cities" he said "From the present indications. the tide of tour. ist travel will last until late this fall. Just now we are being to get the wheat growers and ranchers from the middle west, who have been unable. on account of the necessity of being on hand during active farming oper- ations to come before"
 Mir. Kellogg believes that Presi. dent Wilson's action in calling for a consultation of representatives of the South American countries with the United States will have much more far reacong benefits than perhaps the settling of the Mexican question.
 Trade Wiu Profit
 Not only win the countries bene- lit through better diplomatic relations but also there win be after benefits of new and closer trade relations. It will give the nations of the Eastern hemisphere a chance to become com. mercially independent of Europe"

 it is said that this company pur- poses Go acquire various properties in Alaska, Among other properties spec ihcially named is the Topkuk Ditch Company at Nome the chichagon, near Sitka and various placer prop critics on Atlin Lake and dredging properties on the Yukon.
 lt is also contemplated to employ 100 prospectors to prospect Alaska and British Columbia, particularly on the line of the new government railway
 The Chichagoff property is the only one now paying dividends, the divi- dends from this. it is expected, will pay the prospectors' expenses.
 It is said that # these transfers arc made that the stock will be listed on the New York curb market under the name of the World Mining Com pany"
 There will be an early resumption of operations on Atlin Lake and an entire new management of the Chich- agon property according to the re- port There is to be a meeting in Sep tember to complete details.
 The Topkuk property was controll- ed by the late Henry Bratnober and the operations were seriously ham pered by Mr. Bratnober's Illness and death It is believed that there is a vast amount of gold that can be sav- ed by putting up the proper equip ment The principal difficulty was the shortage of water.

TOT. the awful suffering of the pres. ent. must be figured that great loss to future humanity when offspring must come from the least fitted of the species.
 The coming of peace is yet but a hope. The people of Europe have no say in such matters. War-sick are the people of Europe. as shown in reports reaching America from many sources in many countries. The only prospect of peace. 80 far as the best authori- ties can forsee. lies in an economic breakdown that would force peace. The financial situation is growing ev- en more acute from month to month. The credit of nations. as of men. is limited A possible repudiatiou of war debts has led to serious checking of loans. With no immediate pros. pect Of peace. and no signal advant- age on either side in the big war. the leaders of both sides are bringing pressure to bear toward decisive maneouvers that may end the war
