head light and sift the woods for
the mob?
That ''mob' was composed of
true loyal men, full. of Southern
patriotic blood. True to womanhood
of Georgia, while such men as
Walker are willing to defame our peo-
pie for hanging a criminal lustful
brute who had raped and murdered
an innocent poor girl.
Walker says, "no such crime as
hanging Frank has ever occurred in
civilized state"
How. about California when the
vigilance committee hung four men
at one time across one of the pub
lie streets?
Walker says, ga great crime has
been committed against the state"
An awful crime, amt it? Just the
sentence of the court executed.
Raping and numbering poor little
Mary Phagan is not considered any
crime by such noble men as John D.
Walker.
True manhood and Southern blood
will prevail in Georgia.

P. S.-Success to you Mr.. Watson.

GETTING READY FOR NATHAN.

Dear Sir: When Nathan Straus
gets ready to run you out of Georgia,
just let him and his Jew army come
on. Let him put the traitor Jack
Slaton in command. Make Slaton
chief commander, when he gets
ready to invade Georgia and he will
see and find out what kind of recep-
ton he will receive from the Georgia
boys. Georgia has got enough of
Straus rot-gut. Come on with your
army and settle the matter. Put up
or shut up your vilification of GeOr-
gia and the Jeffersonian.
A few days ago that little member
of the do-nothing legislature from
Sparta, Ga, opened his blow off
valve OF vilification on the honorable
committee who carried out the sent
ence of the court by hanging Frank.
This star member from Sparta is
John d. Walker. He says the COM
mittee was assassins and should be
brought to justict
He ought to organize a Walker
finance committee and hire the
"noble Burns" to come down to
Georgia and help him find the
aSsassins.
Why don't Walker take out a
search warrant with an automatic

A VETERAN WRITES OF THE
FRANK EXECUTION.

Dear Sir:
I am tarheel, an old veteran over
three score and ten, don't often
write for the papers, but I want to
congratulate you, on the way you
handle the Haas finance committee
IN the last issue of Jeff. 1t is uni
versally admitted that thousands of
rich Jews just furnished barrels of
money to save Franks neck; wasn't
1T passing strange that after every
one had failed in coming out, that
they did not offer to fling few bar
rels onto the last resort? the par
doning power? How could they
desert poor Frank in this last emer-
ency? Did they do it? No one be-
lieves they did. Your ex-governor
may be as pure as alpine snow, but
the people, Gods honest people, the
Golden Mediocrity will never get it
out of their heads that he got bar
rel.
[ have heard of many lynchings in
my long Hfe-never engaged in one
but | never heard of one that was
not attributed to the slackness Or de-
of justice.
| said in the start that rich Jews
furnished the money. Are there any
poor Jews? One of the tribe the
other day who does not seem to have
many barrels of the wherewithal said
to a friend that he was tired of the
Frank assessment, had just paid the
last one and he believed the D.
scoundrel was guilty anyhow. So it
seems the rich ones gave and the
poor ones were assessed.
l am not an advocate of lynch law
but | have no doubt that Leo Frank
got nothing but what he deserved;
the grand jury that indicted him
considered him guilty and turned the
case over to the~court, the jury said
he was guilty. The supreme court
said he was guilty and every tribune
that handled the case, I don't know
how many, but after it all little
cfmbling-head lawyer who happened
to be governor, came along and pro-
nounced him innocent. I think 1
know how your people felt Indig-
nation does not express it, and as
the history of this unfortunate case
goes sounding down the ages, the
action OF Governor Slaton more than
of the vigilantes will be considered
the cause of the smirch, the dark
spot upon the fair name of Georgia.
The people in this state, Mr.. Wat
son, are with you in your fight with
the Jews and the Catholics and hope
your pen, your tongue, or your
shadow may never grow shorter.
