GET UP And HUSTLE.

Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find
money order for $3.50 for which
you may send the jeff. to the list Of
names enclosed herein. We people
In this neck of the woods regard the
Jeff. as the best paper that we know
OF and we want to say that you are
doing more to expose rottenness and
hypocracy in high places than any
man living in this age.
We feel that you have the neces-
s3ry qualifications for a leader and
instructor of "old man people" as
you are ripe in experience, having
passed through the fire and found
true to every trust. We pray that
the people will rally to the cause
(their cause) and stand firm, and
each man take part (his part), for
we all have part in this fight to re-
gain and retain our rights.
l want to say to my brother read
ers to get up and be doing; send in
a list of subs. I find that the fellow
who is so wrapped up in prejudice
that he don't want to hear the name
OF Watson is one of his best friends
when you once get him to open his
eyes and read The Jeff. so go after
them.
This is a time when the worlds
history is being enacted SO we don't
know what's in store for us in the
future so We should read and study
past and present and become more
prepared to know and do our duty
in the future.
Pardon me for indulging too much
Of your time and may God guide and
direct and keep you, until He has
accomplished His work through you
is the prayer Of your unworthy
friend.

THANK AND SEND PAMPHLET.

THANK AND SEND PAMPHLET.
Dear Sir: have been watching
with much interest and concern the
dastard1y attempt of the damning
hierarchy to force you out of Geor-
gia for 'mock trial. on a "trumped
up" charge, and thousands of others,
outside of Georgia, are red hot about
the matter, as we'll as because of the
general iniquity of the whole system
Of Romanism.
think this is due you for your
efforts in behalf of good, clean gov
eminent, and free Americanism, and
personally, appreciate you and your
work. Being only an insignificant
Baptist preacher, not in the swim,
nor with a pull, l guess I don't
count much. However am always
glad to do all can to help our
American cause, stay on the firing
line, and encourage others in the
forefront of the fight.
thought that if you will send me
few sample copies Of your publica-
tions, / will distribute where I hope
they will do good. I want some of
your publications as soon as I can
arrange for them.
hope you will soon be freed from
the annoyance of Romanism, and that
she will soon die. God bless and
protect you.
Sincerely,
J. D. BARNETT.
