COLUMBUS LADIES AND CITIZENS
VOICE THEIR SENTIMENTS.

Dear Sir: AS we haven't heard
any voices from Muscogee county, we
think it is time for us to talk. We
heartily endorse your stand in the
Frank case.
AS we write these few lines our
heads are bowed in shame, to think
that some of our prominent Gentle
citizens from Columbus went to At
lanta to go before the pardon board
to plead for the life Of Jew, who
had outraged and murdered one of
their countrywOmen, who had tried
to protect her honor. 1t was given
out in our local papers the names of
the Gentiles who went to Atlanta.
We note among these is the Rev.
Christie, from the First Baptist
Church of this city. We wonder
while he was praying to Almighty
God for mercy for Franks life that
he didn't hear the voice of little
Mary Phagan crying out for revenge
for her death. Among others that
went are men who hold high Offices
in our county-men We had conf
dence in, men that try to uphold the
law, but absolutely refuses to protect
the honor of our women, the men we
cast our votes for and put in Office
thinking we would have protection.
These men are Sheriff Beard, Mayor
Cook, and ex-Mayor Chappell, also a
prominent lawyer, T. T. Miller, and
other prominent men Of our city.
We wonder had this been a home af-
fair for these people would they
have taken the stand they did in de-
Tense of Jew. These men who hold
Office in this county who took inter
: est to defend a murderer who was
convicted by twelve jurors and sus-
tanned by the highest courts of the
land, may rest assured that they will
be remembered when it comes time
to cast our votes again. 1t seems
that our home papers gloated over
the interest these men took in de-
Tense Of a foreigner, who can come
into our country and murder and
butcher up our women. 1t seems
that Jew gold has taken a great part
in our papers, as we'll as our men.
We believe in justice to the poor
as well as the rich, and We respect

prove the following resolution, to-
wit:
Whereas, one Leo n Frank did
commit heinous crime and murder
on little Mary Phagan, and after hay
ing fair and impartial trial by
twelve men, and partly chosen by de-
PENDANT, four of whom of his own
nationality, defended by the best
legal talent that money could obtain,
was convicted of the crime, and re-
viewed by every court in line of the
land and verdict approved and sent
ence of death pronounced on the
said Leo M. Frank; our once beloved
Governor, John M. Slaton, saw prop
er, contrary to law and evidence and
every precedence heretofore, did
commute the sentence of Leo M
Frank, and against the approval of
the good people of the State, thereby
opening the gates of crime and less
enfng the protection of our homes
and loved ones, lowering the stand
ard Of justice and destroying the con-
fdence we have in our executive;
Resolved, That we hereby condemn
the action of Governor John NJ S1a-
ton as outrageous and unworthy, in
thunder of Mt Sinai and the up
heaval of Mt. Pelee; denouncing the
action on the part of John M. S1aton
as treachery, unlawful, unloyal and
debasing, and using the law with
hope of self-advancement.

A LADY APPRECIATES THE
JEFF'S ACCURACY.

Dear Sir; We enjoy reading The
Jeffersonian very much We feel like
we can believe what we see in your
paper and Magazine. And since you
have corrected the statement about
Eli Whitney being the inventor of
the saw gin, and given Oliver Bull
credit for the invention, we feel like
we can believe everything We see in
your publications. Oliver Bull was
the grandfather of S. H. Latimer.
We are glad you have decided to
stay at Thomson and publish The
Jeffersonian and Magazine. You are
doing so much good where you are
we don't want a change.
Thank you for the facts in the mis-
sionary business and the Frank case,
and everything else you tell us about.
We like to know the truth.
Best wishes for The Jeffersonian
and it's editors.

RECALLS A WATERMELON CUT
TING OF TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Dear Sir: AS I am lover of The
Jeff and am anxious for it's welfare
and life, I want to live to see the day
come when The Jeffersonian will
cover these United States like the
water covers the sea.
| have never seen you but once. I
heard you. speak once when I was a
boy, up at Hollingsworth Ferry, on
the Chatahoochee River, about TWEEN
ty years ago. [ remember that my
father took a wagon load of water
melons over there that day and pre-
sented you with a big melon, and I
never shall forget what you said
about the Georgia melon and mig
ger That was on the 23rd day of
September, but I don't remember the
year. [ have one brother who is
named Tom Watson.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

the law with all of our manhood, and
we. feel that this is a case which the
men of our State should take in
hand and deal with accordingly, as
our high officials of the State have
absolutely refused to protect her
women from big-nosed Jews. If
Frank had been poor man and
hadn't had the Jew gold to back him
he would have paid the penalty long
ago. We hope and trust you will
push this thing to the end, as you
will have thousands of good men to
back you up.
We notice in your paper letter
from Mr.. Harrel, from Colquitt
county, wanting to know If there was
anything to be done that could re-
store the honor Of Georgia. Right
here we wish to say that if we would
wipe Jack Slaton and Leo NJ. Frank
and his associates off the face of the
earth we then could get it out of
our minds and restore the honor
back to Georgia, which has been
sunk in the mire for the lust Of gold
by our Governor.
We notice through the Atlanta
papers that Slaton says the mob was
composed of the lower class of peo-
pie, and their opinion didn amount
to very much. He seems to forget
that it was the laboring class of peo-
pie that put him in office, thinking
he had honor enough in him to up
hold the honor of our State and be-
loved women.
We wish to site further that these
men were not only labOring men, but
men with er ough honor not to be
tempted with Jew gold, and would
have died in defence Of their women.
We notice that Slaton has hidden
his shame behind his wife's petit
coats. We didn't know when we
voted for John M. Slaton for
Governor that we put "Sal' in too.
But it seems that Sally has taken
very prominent part in this case
against one of her own sex. We
heartily endorse the movement of
our good women of Atlanta and
other towns to boycott the Jews and
the daily papers.
We appreciate your paper, for it
is the only one that gives justice to
the poor man. Respectfully,

As the largest corpor-
alton in the world and producing a
greater tonnage of steel each year
than the whole British empire, the
monthly statements of new business
published by the United States Steel
corporation are awaited with interest
as showing the trend of general busi-
ness.
The statement just at hand reports
an increase Of 512, 900 tons in untitled
orders for the month of December.
This is significant as being the first
increase reported since August, the
first month Of the war; but even more
so. perhaps, in that 1t is the largest
made in over two years or since octo-
ber, 1912. Furthermore. as the output
Of the company was being increased
during the month, the growth shows
that the volume Of new business COM
ing in took on an unusual spurt
That this improvement in the bus
mess Of the big steel corporation is
indicative Of the general trend for the
country seems beyond question. The
increase in rates granted the railroads
the easing Of money rates for mer-
chants and manufacturers from the
high prices prevailing in the first
several months Of the war, and the
volume Of exports report
ed for November and December have
given momentum to the country's
machine which is rapidly
restoring conditions to normal.

will be Philip Laber Of Spokane. NJ. l..
Akers, head of the iron works here,
will serve as secretary and Charles

Regarding the plans of the new
company MIR. Laber today said.
"All negotiations for consolidating
the two companies have been COM
pleted and the papers signed up. The
new company gets control of the l6
patents held by the Spokane company.
The iron works here will close down
Saturday so that the new machinery
from Spokane may be installed. We
should be making pumps within two
weeks time. Just what the output
will be we cannot yet say as it is go
ing to depend somewhat on the am
cunt of capital We can obtain.
AT the start we will build an adj
dition just west of the iron works
and the new room will be for office
purposes and partly for storeroom.
For the time being we will continue
with the regular work the iron works
has been doing but it is the intention
to devote the plant entirely to manu-
featuring as soon as We can bring
that about.

In spite OF the war and the world

business in America
\ Wonderful that did not suffer
Business. during 1914. The au-
tomoblle makers in
creased their outputs, enlarged their
plants, improved their machines, re-
duced prices and made more money
than ever before. The total output OF
autos for the year consisted of 515.-
600 cars and their value was S4S5,-
100000. The secretary of the Nation
al Automobile Chamber Of Commerce
asserts that the auto making business
now ranks third among American in
dustries.
There are some who will assert
there are too many autos and that
people who cannot afford them buy
them. At times this true but the ma
jority Of owners can afford the ex-
pense and they get value received
for their money. If in no other way
then in fresh air and good health.
Then the auto output does not
consist merely OF cars for personal use
There are trucks. delivery wagons
taxicabs. buses and machines OF vari-
Gus sorts for commercial purposes
These cars are in no sense luxuries
They earn money by reducing costs.
They are even breaking into compe-
tition with railroads and street car
lines.
Whatever people may think about
1t the automobile business is a great
business and it is going to become
greater. At this very time it might
well be claimed that the auto business
is a better index to the prosperity Of
the country than is the railroad busi-
since the transcon-
roads have a competitor in
the Panama canal.

neer.
II the state is to engage in high
way construction let there be perfect

II the Barrett proposal should be
adopted the highway work would
have TO be handled by the state engi-
neer whether he were capable or not
He may be inexperienced in road
work. In the past the engineers
duties have pertained to irrigation and
not 20 road construction at all.
The salary of $4,000 year paid the
highway engineer is not Of great con-
sequence. II work costing large
sum Of money Is TO be done we can
afford to pay the salary Of a compe-

could not afford to spend such money
without a good engineer in charge for
one blunder might cost more than
would an engineers salary for 20
years. The same reasoning applies
here that applies in regard TO a county
