Read This and Vote american"

NEAR MR.. WATSON: During the six days Rev.
- Jordan lectured here you will remember
that the night that Mr.. Jordan spoke to about
5000 men, Mr.. r.. Douglas Feagin introduced
resolution protesting against the movement that
was foot to take you out of Georgia, or to try
you in another State.
Mr.. Feagin is running. for Solicitor of the City
Court of Macon. The Catholics using this
against Mr.. Feagin. Mr.. Feagin myself and
scores of your friends would appreciate you tell
ing your readers through The jeff next week just
what the Catholics trying to do
Mr.. gin is one of the, most prominent law
yers at the Macon bar, attorney for the Law
Enforcement League of our city, and every inch
a man. in it's truest sense. He is Guardian of
Liberty and the only man in the race that has had
the nerve to come out in the open and let the
people know where he stands, ON Catholicism.
The election comes off Friday April IA. A few
words from you will help Mr. Feagin wonderfully,
especially with the railroad and the country
voters. If$you can help us, your Bibb County
friends will appreciate it very. much.
With best wishes, am,
Yours very truly
(COmment)
Any man who opposes Douglas Feagin
because of the Resolution above mentioned is
not at heart "a true Georgian, a true American,
or patriot in any sense.
IT the Romanists of Macon are fighting
Feagin on that ground, then every voter who
believes IN maintaining the personal liberties
our ancestors bought with their blood should
centre on Fe0gin and beat the Roneanist
traitors by an overwhelming majority.

Had Mr. stephens, Representative in the House
from the Thirteenth Texas District been strictly
honest, he would not have asked leave ito extend
his remarks, which means that they be printed
in the Congressional Record without being de-
livered Manfuy would the gentleman have
arisen in the House and said what he had to say.
If Stephens is dishonest because he Eek
tended his remarks in the Congressional
Record, what about Gallivan and Kettner?
Gallivan spoke one sentence and then eX-
tended his remarks in the Record at very
great length, indeed
Not only that, he sent 100000 envelopes to
the Knights of Columbus magazine, at Ho-
boken, n. j., to be addressed there and re-
turned to Washington.
Then he filled those envelopes with his
undelivered "speech,' and sent it out through
the mails.
He thus used and misused his ee-mail
privilege three times, for one never-spoken
"spcech.'
When he sent those envelopes to the Column
bad, to be addressed as per the mailing list
of that magazine. G07linun ui0zdted the lar;
and the Catholic officials who passed those
envelopes back from New Jersey to Wash
ington also riozated the 1aac.
AS to Kettner of Los Angeles, he faxed that
"Inyestigatlon" through the mails, when it
never had been read spoken in Congress,
DNt was "cNtenQcQ IN the Record.

m0nal signed by several Los Angeles Masons,
whose very peculiar conduct was investigated,

Catholic church who makes his living by attempt
ing to revile the religious denominations of
which he former adherent Converts to
the Catholic church are decent Perverts are
limbs of Satan without conscience.
Senator William Lorimer was one of the
boosted s'converts" to Romanism, but he didn't
revile anybody.
All he did was to rob his trusting fellow
creatures of million dollars, or such a
matter
The reason why nothing is said against the
law, the moral teachings, and the institutions
of other churches is, that there is nothing
to say.
The laws moral teachings, and institutions
of Professionalism are IN strict accordance with
the laws of the land, the highest standard of
morals, conserving the natural rights and
legal privileges of every man and woman,
boy and girl.
The Roman church is the only one whose
laws conflict absolutely with ours, whose
priests take an oath against such governments
as ours, whose moral teachings are so obscene
that they cannot be safely published by Prot
estants, and whose system of Imprisonment
for boys, girls and deceived women, is ut
terly antagonstic to nature, to legal rights,
and to personal liberty.
Those wealllings or schemers who leave
Professionalism for Romansm, carry no hor-
ribe secrets with them, because Protestant
churches hare no secrets.

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY V. M. PIERCE, M. D.

The subject of drinking water with meals has been misunderstood.
 In recent years investigation by means of X-rays, the observations of scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an abundance of water taken during di- gestion Is necessary in good bodily housekeeping.
 If your kidneys are sick, or you suf- fer with lumbago or rheumatism at times, pain in the back or back of the neck, take a little Anuric before meals. This can be found at any good drug store. Therefore my advice to young or old is always drink plenty of pure water. And for long life, occasionally take tablets of Anuric three or four times day.
 Anuric acts much more quickly than lithia. Many find 1t dissolves uric acid IS water does sugar.
