MISTAKE IN NE EDICINE
Evangelist Shoemaker Mistakes
Lysol for Cascara While Suf-
fering from Indigestion

Mistaking lysol for cascara, the
Rev. Shoemaker swallowed a
teaspoonful upon his return home
from his meeting Tuesday night.
He was suffering from slight at
tack of indigestion and intending
to take a dose of cascara for relief,
got hold of bottle of lysol by
mistake and poured out a tea
spoonful.
AS he was not accustomed to
taking medicine he closed his eyes
and held his nose and swallowed
the poisonous lysol before he rea-
lized what he was doing. The
liquid had no sooner cleared his
throat than he realized his pre-
dicament.

DaSSaQOr declare, IN 1C7rtlDg, that 1t was the
duty Of Catholics to sacrifice political prn-
ciples to the interests of the church?
Ct have photographed copy of the letter
signed by John Bonzano, oficialy)
Recent popes> have urged American Cath
olics to use their votes in such manner as
to bring our laws into conformity to those
of Rome.
Everybody knows how the Catholics were
ordered to vote against Blaine, because Of
Burchard's remark about Rum, Romanisln,
and Rebellion; and the flop of the Catholic
vote, from Taft to Wilson. is a recent oc-
currence.
In fact, it happened only few days before
the election
Such swift transfer Of the Catholic vote
cannot be explained except upon the theory
that they obey the priests.
They net only obey as to elections, but as
to riots and murders.
(8) THAT Catholic Sisters are other than
the purest of women"
Sisters--whch ones? Nobody has made
any promiscuous attack upon the virtue Of
Catholic women, Or Catholic school-marms,
or Catholic nurses, or Catholic nuns.
The Protestant charge IS, that an unmarried
priesthood naturally causes immortality, and
that helpless nuns, qrho are kept IN prison for
life by the unDou1Y1ed priests, are naturally
the readiest victims Of these celibates
The Greek Catholic church. which is much
older than Romanism, takes the same view Of
this profoundly important question, and COM
pezs its pastors to marry.
No celibate priest has parish or a church,
or access devotionally to Greek Catholic
women.
Hence, there are not any scandals and
crimes of nunneries among the Greek Cath
Ollcs. who number about as many Europeans
as the RomaniSts do.
We who attack Rome's system allege and
prove that Nature cannot be successfully
dcfcd.
Nature gives the normal man an uncon-
tr6llable passion for woman, and Natures
purpose is, the continuation of the human
race
For the same reason, Nature gives the
normal woman craving for male mate.
Any system which compels ten Of thousands
mQf young, robust, normal men-who freely
lingle with women-to appear to let women
lone, sexually, makes hypocrites of those
n, and drives them to carnal sin.
What an ass a man is, when he contends
t all of the $4,000 American women
Bistcrs," if you please-who are walled in
ind locked up by 10000 unmarried priests,
Are ''the purest of women"
Many doubtless are, but to say that all are,
is silly. 1t shows an ignorance, not only of
human nature, but of the historic evidences
against monasteries, convents, and nunneries.
co. "That young ladies' are ever forced into
Sisterhoods, or kept there against their wills
Here is queer fact:
THc jaizer8 of these Sisterhoods do all the
talking: the prisoners, none!
Not only do the priests refuse to allow the
women to give their side Of it, but they defy
the State to enter those dungeons, and ques-
ton the women who are imprisoned for life.

of woman, and commanded her to be his

Outraged nature reyolts at the system, and
the vaults, cellars, and underground cells of
converts have revealed more crimes than any

the harems Of Persia, Egypt and Turkey.

oSAAoOA
Superintendent glory in it.
The fundamental laws of the Protestant
churches are in full accord with the basic
principles of our government, but they cannot
get State-aid.
Mercer University and Bessie Tiff College
are in bad way, financially, but we Baptists
are not asking that the highest law of the
State be violated in our behalf.
Emory College and the Wesleyan would
doubtless be refreshed by a golden stream
from the public treasury, but our Methodist
friends are not asking that the law be violated
in their behalf
The Catholic church is the only one which
sets itself and its laws above the State and
the laws of the State; and it is this dangerous
foreign church which can demand and get
public money to support ats scctdfldn schools.
Without even a pretense OF denial OF this
lawlessness Captain Britain told the Teach
ers that my charge was so absurd that only
one person had spoken to him about it in
three years.
Well that lone person must have made his
impression upon the Captain, for Britain has
at last fling the issue before the public.
He was weak enough and malicious enough
to tell the Teachers that The Jeffersonian had
abused him personally, and had tried to
dictate to him
When, uhere, hoar9
Not to save his dear life can Brigadier
Britain mention single instance of personal
abuse nor can mention the slightest effort
at dictation, unless my plea for Lar, is die
tation.
He is presumed to know what the law for
bids he confesses that he does the forbidden
thing; vet he .dismisses the charge as
'absurd.'
IF so, the Constitution of 1877 is "absurd"
IF [ am absurd. then such statesmen as
Robert Toombs. Charles j. Jenkins, and
other trainers of our highest law, were
''absurG"
Britain admits that he is doing the very
thing for the Catholic schools, in Savannah
and Augusta, that the Constitution said
should never be done.
The people, in a Referendum vote, ratified
that Constitution, but according to Britain
one Of its most vital clauses is "absurd"
And only one man has spoken to him
about it!
Patience! The campaign is hardly open,
yet. Possibly two or three more men may
mention it to our Above-the Law Superin-
tendent, before election day.
FREE SCHOOL BOOKS.
Strange to- say, clustering Britain de-
nounced "Thomas E. Watson" on the ques-
ton of Free school books, although he now
claims to be an Eleventh=hocr worker in the
same cause
Ever since the Nineties, we old Pops-a
mighty mean low down, rantankerous lot
have been demanding free books for our
school boys and girls.
Bellicose Britain has at last come over to
us, and now he is mad with us, because he
came so late.
Poor fellow! Is it our fault if he does
not know what car to get on?
Sometimes hearse can be made to re-

Are the Highest Office Holders
i'm Georgia Bound I'D Respect
Georgia s Highest Laws?


Georgia Highest Laws?
THE violent harangue which was made at
Macon to the Teachers Association by
A. L. BRITTANY,
Superintendent of the Public Schools, in
wolves the question as to whether the highest
office in a State are its servants,
bound to obey its laws
The second line, 0a the first paragraph of
oar highest I0W reads as follows:
"Public officers are the trustees and servants
Of the people, and at all times amenable to
them"
Even if the servants Of the people were
not required to take an oath when qualifying
for the performance Of their duties, they
would remain subject to the laws, just as the
rest Of us are
The 18th paragraph of the Bill of Rights
embraced in our highest law, reads thus:
"lo money shaU EVER be taken from the
public treasury, directly or Indirectly, in aid
of any church. sect. or denomination of re-
lgionists, or Of eng sector5an institution"
That's the highest law of Georgia, and it
is in strict conformity to the highest law of
the Union.
Is 1t 10 be o6eyed?
That is the question; and Superintendent
Britain virtually declared to the Teachers
Association that he had not 0beyed 1t, and
did not intend to do so.
What will Governor Harris think of this
bold defiance of the highest law?
What aciU the people thinh Of at2
For several years, during Brttain's Trust
aided grip on his Office, The Jeffersonian has
been telling the people that Britain, and
those under him, have been taking money ont
of the 1abZc tye0sn3,u directly or Indirectly
Tn aid Of the Roman Catholic schools Of
augusta and Sacannah.
The Jefersonian has, year after year, re-
minded Colonel Britain, that this State-aid
to secta11dn institutions, was an OUTRAGE
Gus VIOLATION OF LAW.
In his harangue to the Teachers Associa-
ton. Major Britain did not deny the facts,
nor did he attempt to explain to the Teachers
qrhy he lawlessly gives money out of the
public treasury to the Catholic sectarian
schools.
No other Echurch, sect, or denomination of
religionists" gets State-aid for it's sectarian
Institutions:
There isn't a sectarian school of the Bap
lists, Methodists, Presbyterians, or Episco
palians to which State-aid is given
No Protestant institution expects tor
could get it, if it asked for it.
Bishop Warren Gambler demanded and
zo66ied for an indirect appropriation in aid
of the Coca-Cola Sectarian College In At
lanta, but the Bishop hasn't yet put it over
on us.

LONELY BACHELOR
IS FOUND DEAD
Bunch Of Pearls Valued at S..
600 Discovered in His
1Ome.

Burkesville, KY May % The body
Of Hiram Station, an old bachelor of
about ffty-five years of age, was found
dead in his residence in Irish Bottom,
this county, early Saturday morning
by Joe Hiram Margan, nephew, and
Dock Allen, who were investigating
his absence from aro1nd the place.
The last time Mr.. Stanton was seen
alive was on the night of May 18th, at
which time he was at his residence
where he lived alone, and he seemed
to be in good spirits and normal in
every way. It's thought that he com.
mitted suicide the very night he was
last seen, as he was not about the
farm any more, and visitors found the
doors locked, but made no further in
vestigation till Sunday morning.
. In the loom with his body was found
bunch of pearls that he had pur-
chased from pearlers along the river,
estimated to be worth $1,000, there
being nearly 1000 pearls of every size,
shapes and value. Besides the pearls,
$1,000 in currency and checks was
founG IN his room. He has no rela-
ton in the State except one nephew,
Joe Hiram Morgan, of this county,
who found the body. ss- - .-,
