city yard before 6 O'Clock in the
morning and the director found all
the teams he needed at his disposal.
Director Courtade called out as
snow shovel1ers all the men employed
for the winter season at the various
parks in the city. Thomas J. Kee-
gan, superintendent of Seaside park
had charge of a force of men who
early began to clear the walks about
the city hall. The snow shovellinS
force under the director of public
works began to clear Main street,
Fairfield avenue, John, Wall and
state streets first. The snow was
carted and dumped into the harbor

Scarcity of men and teams was the
reason advanced by Director of Pub
lie Works Jacob A/Courtade today
for his failure to clear the streets of
the snowfall. The director said he
had men at work before O'Clock this
morning cleaning the principal streets,
but he could not get men and teams
enough to finish the job as rapidly as
he desired.
Only 19 men and twelve teams were
at the service of the director at 10
o'clock today. Mr. Courtade said that
although he had, scurried about the
city for more he could not obtain
them: Between 10 and IL O'Clock

If the approaching Legislature
permits the School Book Trust
to continue to rob Georgia school
children, as the Trust now robs
us, the Indifference thus shown
by our lawmakers will be lasting
shame and disgrace.
Thousands of Georgia school
children are growing into manhood
and womanhood without reaping the
rewards of education. Thousands
of white children do not attend
school for the reason that their par
ents are too poor to pay the high
cost of school books. If the mind of
the child is not developed, we need
not expect it's growth into the full
bloom of useful citizenship. BE

mountain boy there may be the brain
of an Alexander H. Stephens or Ben
Hill; or some wiregrass chap, grow
ing up illiterate and unframed, may

race of life. Shake from their limbs

The fearful price of lilliteracy is
paid by the Government. llliteracy

destruction. They destroy where

unturned by our lawmakers in their
efforts to forever smite these twin
evils.

I know that you will pardon son
of Levi for the liberty he takes in
sending you this protest against be-
ing classed with synagogue Jews, for
I have not the spirit that makes mer-
chandise of his brothers blood, and
changes values into tokens to swindle
with.
The priesthood of Levi is never
taken away from him, but the order
is changed from sacrifices and
burned bodies, in which our Lord
Elohim the Etcrnal One, had no
pleasure to doing our Lords will.
The Lord esus was the last sacrifice,
but this was made for the sins of the
Gentiles by Gentiles, and it is
prophecy in sacrifice of the over
throw of the throne of Satan set up
first in Jerusalem, and second in
Rome. Animals were sacrificed by
the Levites for the sins of the
Israelites, and whatever virtue there
might be in those sacrifices extends
necessarily over the period in which
no sacrifices are made by the Levites
in the temple; as otherwise all Israel
ties living during the period above
mentioned would be lost Sacrificing
came to an end when the temple was
destroyed, and the Levites, not being
authorized to hire themselves as
preachers, became interpreters of
the law in the synagogue, and they
received one-tcnth from the members
of the synagogueS-Je ws-for their
services, and not salary. The sal
airy system is an invention of Satan,
whereby his ablest ministers receive
a lions share of the spoils exacted
from the people as free will offerings
to God. A Jew does not expect to
get something for nothing; hence, as

A MOST REMARKABLE LETTER,
FROM A SON OF LEVI.

Dear Sir: l have read your writ
ings for a number o : years with
great interest, and have written you
two or three time;. / do not agree
with you i'll all that you write-in
fact I do not agree with myself en-
tirely. Your articles or the Freak
case I consider thorough, consci-
entious and unanswerable.
am writing this to call your at
tention to fact that is entirely over
looked by the Gentiles. Briefly, il. is
this: Only the descendants of Judah
are Jews. Jacob had twelve sons,
and Judah was one Of them-the
fourth child of Leah. He was the
devil to whom Jesus referred in
Johns report, chap. 8, verse A.
Simon Peter was a Jew, and his son
Judas; but the others were Levites
and Of Benjamin, who was the son
of Rachael. Jesus, who knew, called
Peter Satan (Mat. 10: 20, I'D. All
are not Jews that are called Jews, as
in Rev. 2: 8, but only those descend
ed from Judah, and having the spirit
of their father as manifested by him
in Gen.37 26, 27. This was the
same spirit that in Judas sold the
body of Jesus to the traders in the
temple. The Gentiles have acquired
the Judah, Judas, Jew spirit, which
Jesus called Satan (Matt. 10: 23)
through the Roman Hierarchy. Thus
we find that Satan has been per-
mitted to appear as an angel Of light
an apostle of Christ (see Second
Cor XII: 1870, and to get himself
recognized as the personality of God
(Second Thess. Q: ~, and his priests
as the ministers of salvation.
Perhaps Levi was no better man
than Judah, his brother, but his
descendants did not have the trading
spirit the descendants Of Judah have
as Jews, and therefore it is not just
to class all Hebrews as Jews. The
Levites had charge of the temple
and they officiated as mediators be-
tween God and man. The spirit of
Judah got hold of the temple, and
the Levites, and made of it what, on
a large scale, the kew York and
Chicago "pits" are-legalized dens
of thieves. Before our Lord came,
the Jew, or Satan in the Jew, in
vented the synagogue, which is
place in which the inventor not the
creator, is worshipped with machines,
both human and mechanical These
synagogues, whether Jew or Gentle,
are the synagogues of Satan, for God
has not recognized them as the places
where He can be found. Satan moved

Big foaming "schooners," together
with steaming bowls of soup, are
placed before the men who are in
position to pay, by active and swift

The conversation is general and
the topics under discussion are va
ried, but generally center upon the
last job or the prospects of getting
another, or shipments of men to con-
struction work by employment
agents. Sometimes experiences with
the police are related. The listeners
then pay strict attention to the story.
Men are coming in and going out

various brands of tobacco smoked
form stencil that grips you at the
throat. This particular smell cannot
be properly described, but is enough
to give a person who is not accus-
toned to such places something akin
to an attack Of vertigo.
The faces of the men do not as a
rule have the cOntented, joyful ex-
preston of those who, being blessed
with better conditions, can afford to
patronize a higher grade of thirst

chickering's and idiOtic laugh of those
