THE JEFFERSONIAN

Mr.. Black is the Christian gentleman who
so openly and boldly voted the whiskey ticket
In Augusta, during those earlier fights when
we did not have the noble help of Bosh
Fielder, Marion Jackson, and Nat Harris
Mr.. Black was so determined to let every
one know that he favored the Bar-r0ono and
opposed Prohibition, that he held up his
whislxey ticket, and called attention to it,
When Boykin Wright & Go. hired gangs
of negroes to 60 round and round, voting 20
odd times apiece, and thus disfranchsed 8
country counties, it was J. @. G. Black who
was shade the political beneficiary of this
high-nanded crime
Politically speaking, Mr.. Bzac7c acas the re-
ceiver Of stolen goods, KNOWING THEN
TO HAVE BEEN STOLEN.
He allowed himself to be used as a tool in
robbing the Tenth District of its right to say
who should be its Representative in Congress.
He went to Washington; served as uselessly
as Carl Vinson has done; and, after two
terms, sunk into third-rate attorneyship for
a corporation just as Carl Vinson will prob
ably do.
We will try to recollect the gentle slap
Carl gave us, when he went out of his way to
appoint Mr.. Black

Sarah M was an immi grant girl entirely
dependent upon her resources, as the rest OF
her family were still in the old country. On ar
irving in the United States she had secured
place as cleaner in a large garment factory
earning meager three and One-haf dollars q
week. But she managed to live on this until the
slack season, when her employer turned her off
For three months she could not get work. How
did she exist? 'She had saved six dollars and
that partly paid for place to sleep with family
about as poor she She lived for weeks on
two cents worth of bread day and little tea
and, after three months Of this, seemed surprised
that she had queer feelings in the stomach and
papitation Of the heart. Her andlady sometimes
cooked supper for her, charging only ten cents
which barely covered the cost of the food, did her
washing, and helped her in every way she could"
Elizabeth c., who was an operator on
chldren's dresses did not lose her job when the
slack season came, but she made about three dol
lars week instead of her usual SIX or seven dol
lars. Il eat seven to ten meals a week instead Of
tWenty-One, she said, get Clothes don't spend
a penny outside Of lodging and food, and then
run into debt"
These experiences are not rare, but are typical
of thousands of cases of men and women anxious
to earn an honest living, but denied the chance.
These cases are typical. There are thous-
ands like them, all over the land

FOPeiGEa Mission Notes.

Trustee Of Mercer University in a recent
number of the Christian Index says that the total
Indebtedness of the institution is $98,664. We
sincerely regret this fact for that institution has
been doing a fine work for the Baptists of this
and other States. Since some Of the Baptists
claim that they pay more than fifty per cent. of
the taxes of this State,and that there are more
than half million of Baptsts in the State it
would seem easy matter for the members of
that denomination to pay off this deOt and pro-
vide liberal endowment for the institution
Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
How can we Georgia Baptists maintain
Mercer, Bessie Tiff, and the Atlanta Baptist
Hospital when we are told so positively that
we will be dishonoring God and pleasing the
Devil, if we don't shell out the ducats for the
Baptist College in China, the Baptist College
in Italy, and the Baptist Hospitals scattered
all over the Orient?
We don't want to 90 to hell and therefore
the rry-Rainey can sell out, the Bessie Tiff
can gasp for breath, and poor old Mercer can
sink into hopeless insolvency.
Thus the postcard reveals the fact that there
is famine and cholera in Turkey.
But it may also refer to the seizure of mis-
sionary property in Asia Minor by the Turks and
the deportation of American missionaries,
pecially from Anatolia College, at MarsOvan, the
largest Of the American Boards (CongregatonaD
stations, and founded over half a century ago.
The property at Marsovan consists of about thirty
school buildings, and the foundations of two more
we'll above ground fine hospital and dispensary
department for deaf and dumb children; large
shop with woodworking and irOn-WOrking rooms
and fOur-mill thirteen residences and many
smaller structures; a library of ten thousand
volumes; and a museHm with seven thousand
objects-the whole exceeding 5000, 900, besides
the personal property of six American families
and five other individuals
The Rev. DR.. George E. White, President of the
College, has arrived in this country. He has
reported that tie Turkish authorities seized the
entire property, and that the missionaries after
having been placed under guard were ordered to
leave within twenty four hours under escort. This
occurred on May Il.
. The above is from The Outlook, of August
g. 1916.
Think of it This foreign mission in Asia
Minor has
6 large colleges,
2 large colleges, on the way,
1 fine hospital,
1 home for deaf and dumb,
- residences,
/ Flour mill, and workshops,
10000 books in the library!

RONlIsH SUPERSTITION IN CUBA.
Rev. John c. ElkinS.

The city of Santa Clara has had the misfortune
this year of passing through a drought somewhat
more severe than that which has befallen the
surrounding country. Six months ago the sanitary
authorities condemned Catholic hospital here,
the patron saint of which is Saint Lazarus. Now
the priests are crediting this Saint Lazarus with
holding back the rain in order to retaliate, their
object, of course, being to get the people to con-
tribute more freely funds to rebuild.
This is common Jesuit trick. If a plague
comes, if it rains too much or not enough, if
lightning strikes a church, the cry is that some
saint is dissatisfied (What a restless lot those
saints are), and the faithful must contribute
freely to placate him.
Once in Panama village lightning struck the
steeple of the village church and burned off the
leg of a patron saint. The church cost more than
all the other houses of the village put together,
puC the priest SalQ mat the SAINT was greatly
offended at having to live in such miserable
shack and that the people must build another
more costly and magnificent.
SOUTHERN METHODISMS BIGGEST SCHOOL.
Kwansei Gakuin Leads at Home and Abroad.
To those who conceive that world evangelism
is the first and greatest obligation of the Church.
it will be gratifying to know that Southern
Methodism's greatest school, in point of students,
is missionary institution, the Kwansei Gakuin, at
Kobe, Japan. The total enrolment of this re-
markable school for young is now nine
hundred and ninety.
We Baptists boast that our Biggest School
is also IN CHINA

SNOWFALL was brought home, bringing with her
darling little calf, and she looked very proud as
she showed us her baby little later she was
bitten by. "a rabd dog and had to be killed. In
course Of tine the calf grew up and one day pre-
sented us with the third generation a fine, hand
some little steer. On the day that Snowfall was
given me I promised myself and God that the
proceeds of all her male offspring should go to
the cause of missions, the newcomer was
promptly named Missionary. 1t not long be-
fore the children and even the negroes on the
place knew him the missionary calf.'
When the urgent call came for funds to open
the work in Japan, my heart was strangely stirred
to give more than | had ever given to help make
that work possible, and my thoughts turned to my
missionary calf" 1 resolved Immediately to give
him and offered him for sale. big-hearted
Christian gentleman, hearing of the missionary
calf, bought him for fifteen dollars; and gladly
and prayerfully gave the money a special offer
