DEAR SIR: Attached hereto is a clipping from
- our evening paper. Will say in regard to
this have just had argument with Irish
Mick which is bit out Of nay line but his
wishes for you this trial IS that the court will
give you ten years, and then parole you OF
course | have no idea he will be awarded his
wishes but at the time you. can see from
his remark what the K of C.'s are after at this
time, MT to put you in the Pen, but merely to
put you out Of business for the time being, and
then maybe after while do other dirty work
that is dirtier have friend working in the
same building who claims he heard a K. of C.
working in his office say that "He would go to
Thomson and kill Tom Watson, if it wasn't for
his wife and babies.
You how dearly in love the Micks are
with you and there lots of them here that
haven't wives and babies, SO would like to drop
a suggestion in your favor, that you take every
precaution possible while in this city to see that
they don't try to get an invitation to your room
in some hotel while here like they did Martyr
Black in Marshall, Texas, as there might be some
thing doing for the military if they do.
l am trusting and praying that you win this
case in court, and that you will come out of the
trial with no trouble.
Please consider this letter personal, but in
case you should use it for comment in The JEFF,
do not my name, do not care to carry a
gun in this place for self-protecton.
With my best Of good wishes, arl,
Yours very truly, GEORGIAN.

THE JEFFERSONIAN

through the lack of a market and the cutting in
two OF the demand for our product, growing out
of the shutting down of many foreign mills on
account of the European war. / do not believe
that this condition be entirely remedied by
any legislation, although I of the opinion that
II we could induce Congress to use the taxing
power of the Federal government SO as to cut
the acreage of the 1915 crop in two and to pass
law to that effect promptly, the situation in the
South would be completely saved, far the
1915 crop is concerned and that the price of the
present crop would be promptly and largely
HANGED.
l have always been opposed to the taxing
power for any other purpose except to raise
enue for the support of the government but in
emergency so grave as that which now confronts
our people, would be prepared to employ this
remedy exactly upon the same principle that
surgeon amputates limb to life.
With best wishes, / am, very truly yours,
THOS. w. HARDWICK."
At the very time when this Cangress-
man laid the slump in cotton to the European
war, and proposed that the Federal Govern
ment use its taxing power to cut down the
crop of 1915, an investigation would have
Shown him that cotton was being used In vast
quantities for powder and for khaki uniforms
and that Europe was paying Is cents a
pound rTghtthen.
So far as [ can learn, no cotton was in
sured for less than 10 cents pound, even by
the local buyers for export.
The local buyers for Europe were on to the
secret from the very jump, and so were "the
nl:ddlemen many of them located in New
York"
As have already proved, the Government
has been insuring the cotton at $40 bale,
thus showing that it was valued at 800.
The Government 2caS controlled by the big
fnanciers and gamblers of New York. Con-
sequently the Government refused to lend
to the farmer or to buV from him.
Yet it loaned to the gamblers, and the
gamblers bought the Scent cotton
Why did the two Georgia Senators, last
October, stand by the Government and the
spectators?
Why did the two Georgia farmers desert
the farmers, while the farmers still had the
cotton and wanted to hold it?
And why does Senator Hardwick now at
tack President Wilson and Secretary McAdoo
for the very policy which the Senator APP
proved at the time it was compelling the
farmer to sell Eat starvation prices?"
The Hardwick of the Mouftrie speech must
be different person from the Hardwick of
the Walker letter.

TO meet the bluff and the falsehoods of

The men who take that oath are traitors

Judge Lambdin May Hear the Case Sometime

There is a probability that one of the first
cases Judge w. w. Lambdin will try will be that
of Mr. Thos E. Watson, well-kpown writer, in

Emory Speer being disqualified it is likely Judge
Lambdin will be called upon to of1ciate. If it is
decided that he is to hold court in the Eastern
division, and Judge Speer in the Western d.
vision, the trial will likely be held in Savannah.
Judge H. d. D. Twiggs, who is of counsel for
Mr. Watson, was to have seen the new Judge this
afternoon with reference to having the set

There is an absolute prohibition OF
the export from Sweden of wheat

trade is now absolutely effective. and
nobody could succeed in eluding It,

Warning TO SHIPPING

American Vessels Cautioned Against
Carelessly Traversing the
Naval War Zone.

An urgent warning to American ship

zone incautiousy and to have all neu-
tral markings displayed as conspicu-
ously as possible. including illumina-
ton at night. was communicated to
the State Department today by the
German government through the
American embassy at Berlin.
Statement Made Public.
The German warning was announced
In the following statement made public
by the State Department:
The American ambassador at Ber-
lin has been informed by the German
foreign office. that, in view OF the fact
that during the past feew weeks it has
repeatedly occurred that neutral ships
have been sunk in the waters desig
mated as an area of maritime war by
the German admiralty February 4
1915. and especially in one case where
1t was established that the sinking was
traceable to an attack by a German
submarine. which took the neutral ship
for an English vessel, in the darkness
on account of the inadequate illumina-
tion of its neutral distinctive mark
ings. 1t recommended that American
shipping circles again be warned
against traversing the area of mari
time war incautiously, and. also, be
urged to make the neutral markings as
plain as possible and especially to have
them Illuminated promptly and suffi-
GENTLY at night"
