Dear Sir: I write you these few
lines to let you know that | heartily
endorse your principals.
agree with you in the Frank case.
Also on Foreign Missions ! think
some of this money we spend on the
Chinese people would be better in
vested if spent on Georgia boys and
girls in order to make better men
and women of them. This money
would be a God-send to some poverty
stricken American.
| hope you will live a long time so
you may fully acquaint the Protest
ant people with the rottenness of
Catholicism. l am glad to know that
we have at least one Georgian who
speaks the truth regardless of who it
conflicts with.
Mr. Watson I never voted any other
ticket than a Democratic ticket but
! shall not be entirely this way in
the future.
l endorse your political ideas. Hop
ing you continued success beg to re-
main as your friend,

cations to you and every seeker after
truth should be for the determined
and fearless stand you have taken
touching foreign missions and
Catholicism. While I do not credit
your literature with any awakening
on my part to these evils, as [ have
known for twenty years the truth as
you now publish it, touching these
great issues.
have been powerless to put these
truths before the people, but take
means and the will to tell the truth
concerning these matters.
We know that the powers that be
have you spotted and will crush you
and persecute you in every way pos
sible, and would have long ago
assassinated you, but for the fact
that should this occur, ten thousand
men true patriots of Georgia would
fly to arms regardless of conse-
quences and there would be another
chapter added to the history of
Georgia.
These patriots may not be armed
or drilled but they stand ready to
answer to the call and the call is sure
to come.
why SO many of our people shut
their eyes to the dangers that
threaten us and refuse to be enlight-
ened No doubt many will subscribe
to a monument to be erected to the
memory of Thomas e. Watson, but
| would rather pin a flower ON his
bosom now, than build him a million
dollar monument when he is no
longer here to share with us our joys
and sorrows.
Your future life will be beset with
trials and persecution. 1t has been
SO with all reformers, but rest as
sured that you will live. in the hearts
of those who know your true worth
and their childrens children will rise
up and call you blessed. Oh why will
not our ministry speak out, why will
not our Masonic fraternity speak out,
why will not those who are enlight-
ened speak out? Are we born cow
ards? Have we no spark of patriot
ism in our makeup? No blood of
our ancestors flowing in our veins?
Are we to sit down and allow one
man, one lone Georgian to fight our
battles for us and he loaded down
with persecution? His pictures may
be highly colored, but it takes des-
perate means to correct desperate
evils.
He is standing on the wall crying
out against the evils of the day. Heed
his warning, ere it be too late
In this letter l believe l voice the
sentiment of thousands Of true Geor-
gians. Thanking you for the stand
you have taken upon the wall, and
wish to further Encourage you to cry
out and spare not against the evils
that have taken deep root in our
midst.
Yours truly,

GEN. BENNETT n YOUNG
Will NOT OffrR TOR
REELECTION
GEN. SYKES SLATED
FOR PROMOTION
Likely TO Succeed Cen. lIarri.
son as Commander Of Army
Of Tennessee Department.

II is officially announced that
Gen. Bennett II Young. commander
in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans. will not be candidate for
reelection at the coming reunion in
Birmingham, and this doubtless
means that Gen +. T. Sykes, Of this
city, will be promoted, and Gen. Geo.
Il. Harrison, commando of the
Army of Tennessee department IS
slated to succeed Gen. Young, and
may in turn be succeeded by Gen.
Sykes, who is now acknowledgement
of the department.
Cen Sykes is one OF the states
best known citizens, being prominent
both as veteran and rs a lawyer.
He evinees the keenest interest in all
matters pertaining to the civil war,
and his knowledge concerning Con-
federate history is most profound
The reunion is to be held in Bir-
mingham May l6, II and Is, and it
is then that the annual election of
officers will take place. rhe reasons
for Gen. Young's contemplated re-
tirement are detailed in the follow
ing special, which was recently sent
out from his home in Louisville:
"Bennet H. Young, commander
in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, will not allow his name to
go before the veterans tits year for
reelection. In statemeyt made to-
night Gen. Young declal1 | that four
times he had been hp'nded by his
comrades and that NE a-snled TO see
the honor rest upon the shoulders of
another.
General George p. Harrison,
commander of the Department of
Tennessee, is being put forward by
many. Gen. Harrison, though only
"a years of age when peace came
held the commission of brigadier.
general at the close of the war. Since
he laid aside his sword he has served
his country in various capacities. AT
one time he served year as presi-
dent of the Alabama State Agricul.
tural College"
Gen. Young has been in i'll health
for some time. In fact he was unable
to attend the last reunion. Gen
Young's advancement in the organi
| zation of veterans has been remarka
BILE, Few veterans have received the
honors that were thrust upon him"

LOLLAR RECEIVES
DANGEROUS WOUND
PROMINENT CITIZEN OF
CALEDONIA SHOT ny
JOHN oDUM.
DISAGREED OVER
BUSINESS MATTER
Shooting Occurred on Plsnts-
tion Of MIR. Lollar About 3
O'clock Yesterday.

Mr.. c. NJ. Lolar, a well known
planter of the Caledonia neighbor-
hood, was shot and dangerously
wounded yesterday afternoon by Mr..
John 0dum, tenant on his planta.
ton, who fired two charges of No.
3 shot into his abdomen, inflicting
wounds which are so serious in their
nature that attending physicians
fear that they may prove fatal.
The shooting is said to have re-
suited from dispute over business
matters, but citizens familiar with
the relations of the two men were
reticent when questioned regarding
the affair, and it was impossible to
obtain the details.
Immediately following the shoot
ing Mr., Lollar was brought to the
Columbus Hospital, and was later
operated on by DR.. r. c. Molloy, of
this city, and DR.. J. C.. Pickett, of
Caledonia. AT late hour last night
his condition was considered grave,
and his chances for recovery are said
to be very slight.
1t is understood that after the
shooting Mr.. 0dum gave himself up
to officials at Caledonia.
The wounded man is brother of
Mr.. A. L. Lollar, of this city. and is
well and favorably known through
out the county.
