A SUGGESTIVE LETTER FROM
SOUTH CAROLINA.


your paper, The Jeffersonian, and
nary working people of the Piedmont
section Of South Carolina l only
wish that it had a more general cir
culatiOn among our people, for if
there is a section Of the country any
where in the United States that needs
an awakening in respect to the perils
of Catholicism, it is this section, for
We are frequently being made vic
TINS Of designing politicians who are
parading in the robes of innocence,
while they have within their hearts
the most Wolfish purposes to gain
their way into the fields Of plumber.
This is largely an industrial district
in which there are many cotton mills,
and at these mills live numerous un-
suSpectng people who are by nature
as good as anybody, but they are
easy marks for the loud squalling
OfiCe-sceker, for the simple reason
that they have never learned to rec
Ognize a political demagogue when
they hear him making his promises
and swearing allegiance to the things
that on the surface appeal to them
and are often lead to accept him in
good faith and lend him their sup
port for an important office We
have not many Catholics among these
people but there are numerous I'M
behring's and sympathizers who fol-
low and do their bidding and some
who geek political honors and re-
sponsibilities who are obligated to
the Catholics and are subservent to
1NH
voking to note the lethargy and stu
pidity of the people who vote and
take great interest in public matters
who cannot be easily shown the
awful danger of their position and
raise the question of Papal tenden-
cies when they go to select their
officers. If labor and labor unions
ever had an enemy on earth, it is
the Roman Church and it's kindred
alliances. l wish that you could
make a tour through this section
and deliver few addresses. for there
is not more fertile field for ef-
fective work than this particular
section.
| appreciated your analysis of the
Frank case and think that beyond
the shadow Of doubt you convicted
him in every mind that is open to
reason and logic. Your treatment of
this case has made for you thousands
Of friends and has given the world
the only truthful and impartial rec
ord Of this epoch-making event in
the history Of Southern society.
l read with pleasure what you
have to say about our national Gov
eminent and the various articles that
you have written on different topics
that tend to open the eyes of the
common people and that suggest
good and timely remedies for many
of their public ills, both social and
political.
Your stock is rising among the
people and all that you need is d
more general touch, for whoever
reads your paper cannot help agree
ing with you on most Of your prop
CsitiOns it not on all of them, and
the public is anxious to be shown
and is anxious and ready to learn
the right course to lead them to
social and economic safety. 1t would
be a fine thing if you could have at
least a dozen copies Of your paper
at every cotton mill in this State,
for they need to know the gospel OF
independence and freedom and there
is no better place for them to get
the simple truth than in your paper.
| am with you in whatever you
undertake for the American people.
Yours very truly,
G q w r. CASH
