other passages of scripture too nu-
merous to mention. But this little
girl was poor and the wretch that
took her life was rich, SO there is a
difference. Do you believe God will
make difference because of wealth?
If Leo M. Frank wishes to repent
let him do so. 1t does not take long
for repentance. [ pray that he will
repent, for I never heard of man
that needed repentance more. But
let him do so now and pay the pen
atty for his atrocious crime as other
criminals have, on the day set for
his execution. This probably will
save the life of some other poor little
girl, and be warning to other
wretches such as Leo M. Frank.
Are we to defame the name of our
beloved old State and trample on the
laws our proud men have made just
for the sake of money, and turn free

known to take the lives Of other
pure girls? Far be it from us. We
surely love our honor more, our
State more, and our pure, innocent
girls more, as we'll as respect the
laws Of God more. And / pray God
there will come a day when our
preachers will work for the salvation
of souls, and not spend the time God
has given them in working to stay
the hands of Justice for rich crimi-
mails. What will you tell Jesus of
your wasted time? Respectfully,

AN OPEN LETTER TO AN AT
LANTAa PREACHER.
Rev. j. L. White, DID,,
Atlanta, Ca:

IISN. y. L.. w HIC0, Ill,
Atlanta, Ga:
Dear Sir: I see in the Atlanta
papers your stand in the noted Leo
NJ. Frank case, and as you profess
to be servant of God, wish to ask
you few questions.
AS your Bible will tell you, our
blessed Master was just as consid-
crate of the poorest as he was of the
richest, and did not leave one law for
the rich man and another for the
poor man. So will you please tell
me how many of the poor criminals
OF our beloved State have you taken
the interest in you are now taking
in the Frank case? (the vilest of all
criminals our State has ever known.)
You do not doubt his guilt. No sane
man with the evidence of this case
before him can doubt his being
guilty.
| do not know if you have daught-
ers, but, supposing that you have,
and this had been your daughter,
would you work to stay the hand of
justice as you are now doing?
Poor little Mary Phagan's life was
just as dear to her as the life of your
daughter would be, and her dear
mother loved her as you or any other
parent would love their child.
Methink I can see the face of God
bowed in grief as some of our Geor-
gia preachers neglect the work He
has assigned them provided He has
anything to do with such preachers
while they work to stay the hand of
justice for the vilest criminal our
land has ever known.
What faith can people that believe
in justice have in you? And how is
it with you and God?
And then if this vile criminal es-
capes his just punishment what pro-
lection will the poor girls of Atlanta
Or of any other city have?
If Mary Phagan had been the
daughter of one of Atlanta's richest
citizens we could hear the voice of
DR.. J. L. White, as well as other
noted Atlanta preachers, as they sent
forth the cry, can eye for an eye,
and a tooth for TOOTH" and many

GEN. KEARNEY NOT AN r. G.

Dear Sir: Having noticed in sew
eral issues of The jeff the statement
that General Phil Kearney was
Roman Catholic please allow me to
correct. Undoubtedly he was OF
Irish lineage, but a Romanist-
never. His paternal grandfather
was an Episcopalian Bishop in New
Jersey. General Phil Sheridan was
a close friend of my uncle, Maj.
Chas. B. Whittemore, during the
Civil War. Sheridan paid little at
tentio nto the church. He was a
West Point graduate and first, last
and all the time trueAmerican
soldier.
This European War has tempo
rarily settled the immigration ques-
ton. Whether there will be any
left after the war except women,
children and cripples, remains to be
seen. With best wishes and respects,
] remain, very truly yours,

concerned you are almost standing
alone in the Frank case. You may
rest assured that the greater mass

TO THE FARMERS OF GEORGIA.

Dear Sir: /, for one, am willing
to turn our farming sections into
union, and enforce it. Any man that
is not willing to join, or help organ
ize, get him out of the country.
Every plan has been tried, and up
until the present time they have been
complete failures. Now, to make a
success, We have got to get right
down among, as | might say, our
selves" and go to work.
The first thing to do is to pledge
ourselves to raise plenty Of meat,
selves and stock.
Second, to have a good garden,
and make our own milk and butter
I don't see why any farmer couldn't
raise all the feed and foodstuffs that
is needed on the farm. l can live
without just lots Of things do have.
You can do the same. Let's get to-
gether, farmer friend, and not let
any block headed town farmer, who
only figures out how to get our mon
ely, dictate to us how to farm. If we
haven't lived long enough on the
farm to know how to make it pay
expenses, don't you think we had
better try something else? If we
can't raise anything else except five
cent cotton I'll acknowledge cold
Reuben is slow. But he always gets
his cotton to town in time for some
speculator to get all the profit. II
we have to raise the cotton why
shouldn't we have the full value of
it. We know the world has got to
have cotton. Why not make some Of
these big cotton-buyers raise some
and buy less? I'm sure we would
have less trouble and more money
for it, These big cotton spectators
have men in every town to see that
the farmer does not get but one
price for his cotton. Why can't we
organize and put man in every
town to price our cotton, and not
take less? If we don't 90 something
like this, there will be only one
thing left to do, and that is, war be-
tween capital and labor.
Best wishes TO the farmer. | am
a farmer, and the farmers friend.

UNCLE REUBEN is GETTING IN
OUESTTIVE,

QCESI11tE Il.
Dear Sir: Here is Uncle Reuben
wanting to ask some questions. I
see in The Atlanta Journal where
Senator Hoke Smith said that the
country had returned to prosperity,
because the travelling men said BUSH
ness was good. What has your Uncle
Reuben sold to make such a profit
on that returned him, the four-cent
per pound on the eight bales of cot
ton that he made last year to the
pillow, when he has not cut oats and
wheat yet?
Question 2: The bankers write in
the papers, saying business is good.
They have as many notes as they had
last year this time, as / see it. Last
year Reuben borrowed money to i'm
prove his farm in the spring, and
when fall came he could not pay back
what he borrowed. The banks said
they would have to have a new note,
with a little more security, if they
carry you, and that is where they are
getting as much interest as they got
last year.
say the farmers have money on de-
QOSlt III spring VI IHS ySdI. MY CA
PLANTATION of this is, the farmer is
checking out money that he has CIV
en- his nc e for, with about four dol
lars wor h of security for every dol
lar he isfchecking out, and is paying
interest at the rate anywhere from
IL to q per cent. So you see Uncle
Reuben has had no cash this spring
to spend for luxuries, and he still
owes the banks the money he bor-
rowed last year I was talking to
banker a few days ago. He said
they had out about as much as they
let out last year, and that they did
not want to have out as much this
year as they had last year, and that
they would not have to lend much,
as about two-thirds of their Gus
toners had to rene their notes
from last year. That must be the
prosperity that Senator Smith and
the travelling man were talking about.
Bless me, | did not know that
they had moved the country in the
stores and banks OF the towns and
cities. They got their profit last
year. But where is Reuben's 4 cents
per pound that he lost on his cotton?
Oh, if l could get cents per pound
on what cotton | sold last year, I
would be fixed, without consulting
the merchant Or the banker, either,
about money to pay this years ex-
penses. Four cents per pound would
be not less than $3.50 to the one
horse farmer.
l read some time ago where sta
tistics showed that out of every dol
lars worth of products the farmer
raised he received As cents out of
it, and Sc cents went to the other
class, who never spent one cent in
the production OF it, We are work
ing on halves and paying all ex-
penses. Please explain where the
country is prospecting under such a
grab-all as that.
Yours truly
