Century Catholics die. They ough
not to be bound with laws circum
scribing their liberties because Watson
has found something about which he
can write all the false ACQUISITION he
is putting out, without being called
to answer for it. The Catholics have
never openly and publicly resented
what Watson is doing against their
church, and he has had a free hand
With his posion. They did not even
stand for his prosecution when the
government got after him.
If we know what truth and false
hood is, if we ever told the truth in
ourselves. Tom Watson has caused
more lies about the Catholics to be
circulated in his publications than he
could by these same methods, justify
or substantiate in the remaining years
of his life.
So long as our idea of fair play re-
mains as it s, so long as we are still
not afraid to trust our own judgment
as to the justice of such thing as
this, we will resent it. The Weary
law is but an outgrowth of the Wat
son attacks on the Catholics. 1t is
as unnecessary in Georgia as such a
thing could ever be. The law will
never be needed and it ought surely
to be shelved where it can not be said
the state is fntermeddling with reli-
gious affairs.
The Grand juries of today have the
power already to do what they please
with reports of the kind Watson is
circulating about the high wall around
Catholic schools. They can go be-
hind these walls and investigate any
thing at any time, and no Catholic
power or any other power can prevent
them from laying hands on the crimi-
nal there any more than in the low
est dive. Catholics know that and
Watson knows it. Ask any good law
yer and he will tell you this is true.
Watson has needed something that
would sell his paper Anti-Catholic
report is the kind of sensation that
will make it go. But anti-Methodist
or Anti-Baptist or nti-Missionary ar
gument hits back too hard. Watson
hears from it when he attacks in this
direction. If the poor old Catholic
had a thimble full of resentment and
that resentment were directed at Wat
sons phisiognomy, there would never
be such laws as the Weary bill.

HARRIS GAINING.

Governor Harris is pulling things
together in great shape as he travels
over the state. When the legislature
quit and let him out of Atlanta he
began hitting 'em up" at lively gate.
He is going to be reelected. The old
veterans showed in Americas Wednes-
day they know how to appreciate him.
The people of the state know how to
appreciate the veterans and Governor
Harris, as veteran, has been honored
with the office he now holds for a
term of two years. No governor since
the civil war has been put out without
his second term, and this is veteran
asking Georgia to give him what it
has given all other governors since
the war. And this is perhaps the last
veteran who will ever ask for the of
fee. The people of Georgia do not
want it said of them that they turned
their backs on the last soldier of the
sixties who was qualified to hold the
office.

LOYAL TO THE SCHOOLS.

Savannah can do few things, too,
when it comes to educational advance
ment. A tax was voted the past week
for maintaining the schools of the
county and the voters of Chatham
were almost to a man for the tax. The
returns from the election showed prac-
tically everybody favoring the issue.
Crisp county can do what Savannah
has done and it can be done with as
much ease A one-system plan with
county tax will turn the trick and
an educated supervisor whose duty
will be to see that the country teach
ers and the country boys and girls
have an equal showing with the ci$y
teachers and the city boys and girls,
can we'll be entrusted to the task of
making the public school system serve
the largest number.
The citizens of the county are being
confronted now with the complaint
that the boys and girls in the country
are not given the educational advan-
tages to which they are entitled. These
citizens ought to realize that the coun-
try boy and girl occupy just the same
relation to the system as do the boys
and girls in the city. And this is true
with regard to the teachers.
We may have the impression that
we are doing our best But we are not.
All interests consolidated and under
one head, would make it possible to
do much more good at much less ex-
pense. The fact that other progress
sive counties in the state are doing
this is the best evidence that Crisp
can do it. The bruden can be no great
er and the provision for real educa-
tional work throughout the county,
from border to border. must follow a
plan such as that adopted in Chatham
Wednesday.

many farmers have the least bit of
doubt as to which man of the two is
capable of serving the Third district
in congress? How many farmers be-
lieve Tom Hudson cares more for
them than he does for the office he
is after?
And it isn't quite fair to cry mud
singing" at Congressman Crisp be-
cause he asks to be reelected and be-
cause he resents what his enemies
are trying to do to defeat him.
People who know Congressman
Crisp,-and nearly every voter in this
district knows him by personal ac-
tanceship,-knows that he
has sought to deserve and hold his Of
flee solely through service rendered
his people. He is not running on ped.
igree and his friends know that such
charge is Chilly a stab made by those
ykU~ besought him for appointment to
flee And among those who sought
= ppomtment to Office are still his
eeends, for most of them know that
proceeds with impartiality and fair
4ss.
NJ Nobody wishes to dispute Tom Hud-
son being the farmers friend but
many of them didn't know it before
developments Of the last week or SO.
One Billie Parker, who came here and
was housed by Tom Watson's friends,
said Hudson was also friend of the
Catholics and the the Catholics were
spending a great deal of money tQ
elect Hudson, because Crisp had hand
ed them a rough deal time or two
in the past But this makes friend
Of too many of them. Hudson will
doubtless not be able to take care of
so many.

THE VEAZY LAW.



Dear Sir:-I note that your paper
as well as several others which have
seen, is printing articles deploring the
action of the last session of our state
law-making bodies in passing the Yea
zy bill Almost every article which
have read, condemns rather than
defends this BILL and yet l noted when
it was passed few voted against it.
Now | don't know the merits of this
bill, not having seen copy of it, but
understand that it provides for the
inspection by grand juries of certain
institutions in the counties in which
these grand juries sit. l understand
that it has been alleged and proven
time and again that people have been
detained in Catholic institutions
against their will, and without the
right of trial by jury.
: If this be true, then it strikes me
that the Weary bill is timely If law
lessness is being carried on, then it
should be the business of the grand
jurie" to investigate it, and if there is
70 lawlessness being carried on in
these institutions, why the awful howl
that is being set up by the press all
over the state because of this power
of investigation.
l saw in the Macon Telegraph few
days ago that Baptist minister of
Augusta, Rev. Ashyy Jones, scored
this bill in his sermon, and stated that
next we would have Investigations of
Baptists and other UNCONVENTIONAL
institutions. Now, think a great
deal of the Baptist denomination and
l believe that they will raise but little
objection to investigation, because
they have nothing they wish to hide.
The argument is made that this bill
strikes a blow at religious liberty. 1t
seems to me that it only provides in
vestigation against lawlessness in the
name of religion. The Mormon religion
allow a plurality of wives, yet we do
not allow this practice in Georgia.
wish to state that from what l know
of this law l am in favor of it, in that
l believe it is intended to prevent what
has occurred in other states of our
Union. Yours very truly,
"A SUBSCRIBER.

GREAT CAUTION HERE.


Could one be fair to himself and
to everybody else if he believed that
Judge Reagan has been to Atlanta and
has boasted about his intention to
rat the steam roller to Hugh Dorsey?
We often see things in the Jefferson
ian which cause us to doubt whether
Tom Watson is really careful about
telling the truth. But here is some
thing worse than all that:
Judge Reagan, of McDonough,
has been in Atlanta several days,
blowing around, and Dragging
about his intention to put the
steam-roller to Dorsey at the con-
vention.
go slow, Judge.
"You wouldn't look too pretty,
wearing a new suit of tar and
feathers; and you can ride on the
cars with more comfort than you
could get out of a ride to fence
rail
IF you try any of your steam
roller tactics on Hugh Dorsey. you
will soon learn what it means to
be man-handled.
"All of us know how desperate
the anti-Dorsey combination is,
and we know that it will not hes
itate at any crime; but, knowing
this, we will be ready for the fray.
Leave your Hardwick-P ottle-
Robson steam-roller at home,
Judge"
This is the Jeffersonian. This is
Tom Watson in the same humor, in
the same atmosphere, under the same
barometric pressure, under the same
steam power that brought on the
lynching of Hugh Dorsey's human
game which be bagged. This is the
kind of tune that the noble leader
likes to hear.
Georgia better go slow on Watson
Dorsey and any other man who will
suggest or become a party to incen
diary, impassionate, unlawful courses
to be followed by those who for q
time may see their political hopes
about to be dashed. All the political
prizes within the gift of the state fol
the next century are not worth the
high regard for the law which osgh'
TO prevail both in Hugh Dorseys polit
ical camp and out of it.
Tom Watson has already been toe
long engaged in open rebellion agains'
the laws of this commonwealth. Some
friends ought to be kind enough to
tell him.

The fact that ]. ]. Brown has to ad-
vertise for complaints against Jim
Price in order to get up steam for a
real race against the present COM
missioner of Agriculture. speaks
alarmingly well for the man now hold
ing the Office. Jim Price has been
doing about and is live man. He
works, and works hard for the farm
ers of Georgia. He was as much de-
voted to the business of his office be-
fore he had opposition as he has been
since and the people of the state have
every cause to believe he has per-
formed his duties with great zeal and
enthusiasm.

Worshippers of the sage of McDuf-
fie keep on saying Dorsey is the can
didate of the plain, common people.
The change must be a recent one, for
ever since he had the price of fare
to Atlanta, he has been waring creas-
ed pants and hard hats in that little
Georgia town. Atlanta people say
he ought to be made governor, but
the plain, common, people want Gov
rrnor Harris for another term.

Piueons Go on a Debauch.

Residents of Dobbs Ferry, N. J., were shocked recently at the sight of intoxicated pigeons trying to stagger home after an enforced absence.
 During the week hundred pigeons belonging to various persons were stolen. Two boys were found with seven pigeons, and when arraigned be- fore Justice of the Peace Glover they confessed that they were members of a gang of pigeon thieves. The boys, James Phillip and Harry O'Leary, were released on suspended sentences when they promised to get the other lads to liberate the stolen pigeons. This was done and the air was full of birds.
 A company of pigeons that had made their home around the brewery lured the recently freed ones to the malt heaps outside the brewery, where all wined and dined. They became in. ebriated, as their unavailing efforts to get back to their houses testified.

COMMITTEE PROBING ACCOUNT or FORMER PRESIDENT HAN
 RATY REPORT FINDINGS.
REFUSES TO STAND TRIAL
Convention Voted to Appropriate $500 To Be Used as Paying Witness Fees in a Suit Commenced Against
 Coal Mining Company.
Fort Smith

Fort smith,
 The report of the evidence obtained by special committee that investi- gated financial transactions of Peter Hanraty of McAlester, Okla, after he resigned as president of the United Mine Workers of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, last October, following the bringing of charges against him, was read at the closing session or the biennial district convention.
 This is the first time the informa- ton against Hanraty has been made public and, although an effort was made to prevent the. reading of the report on constitutional grounds, the delegates voted overwhelmingly m favor. The report charged that Han- raty spent $1,39069 of the districts funds as salary and expenses for two men who he said were special organ izers and who the committee said in the report were not employed Han raty declined to stand trial before the district board to answer to charges on the ground that he was unable to have his witnesses present at the date set for his trial. A civil suit to re- cover the amount he is alleged to have mIsused is pending at McAles- ter. Hanraty has also filed an appeal with the international organization.
 The convention voted to appropriate $300 to be used as paying witness fees in a suit Thomas H. Shaw, Ar kansas mine inspector, has com menced against the Southern Anthra- cite Coal Mining Company to compel that company to operate it's mine at Russellville according to the Arkan- gas statutes.

SUPREME COURT RENDERS AN OPINION IN CELEBRATED
 CASE.
ORIGINAL SUIT WAS Ss,67e.7O
MT. Williams Act in Spending Money Was That of Volunteer and He Cannot Hold Gov. Donashey Lia-
 ble Court Decides.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
 The Supreme Court handed down an opinion in the famous case of Eu- gene Williams of Forrest City against former Governor George w. Donaghey, growing out of Donaghey's third term campaign for governor, managed by MT Williams. The lower court gave MT. Williams judgment for s2,500 for an alleged loan made by Williams to Donaghey during the campaign.
 The suit, originally asking $8,679.70, was based on claims of Mir. Williams arising from alleged expenses of con ducting Gov. Donaghey's campaign. Pleading in the case raised two ques. tions, whether Governor Donaghey re- quested Mr Williams to become his campaign manager, and as such to ex- pend his own money in conducting Gov. Donaghey's campaign.
 The Supreme Court held that testi- mony in the case warranted finding that MT Williams had been requested to manage the campaign for Gov. Donaghey. No testimony was intro duced sufficient to support the ale gation that MT. Williams was author ized, either by expressed or implied instructions, to expend his own money, however, the court held. On the otherhand, according to the decl- sion, the undisputed testimony wns that Gov. Donaghey himself was to pay the campaign expenses. MT. Williams act in spending the money was that of volunteer and he can not hold Gov Donaghey liable for the payments.
 The decision blocks MT. Williams efforts to collect any of the claim with the exception of the $2,500 he ayers he loaned the former governor. In regard to the loan, which issue was not submitted to the jury in the lower court, in the courts instructions the testimony was conflicting, the SUI preme Court held The case was re- versed for further proceedings on the $2,500 part of the claim.
