A METHODIST LADY, % YEARS A
MEMBER OF THAT CHURCH,
HITS HARD AT FOREIGN
MISSION METHODS.

Dear Sir: Anent the foreign mis-
sion subject, LIST Timothy, 9Th chap
ter and 8th verse.
If hackman should turn his old
broken down, worn out horse out to
starve after he had rendered his Serv-
ices all his life, the humane society
would arrest him and have him pun
iShed.
Do you know that the Methodist
church turns old broken down preach
ers who have given their lives to the
ministry out on the superannuated
list without giving them one penny
for the first year and only a mere
pittance the second year-possibly
$3.50, maybe not so much have
forgotten the figures, but know tho
facts? gt ~
l have held every Office that the
Methodists can confer on a woman,
and did not know about the cruelty
to the old worn out preachers, until
six years ago when one of the best
old men, my pastor in Atlanta, was

| saw him suffer this cruelty, and
he cried whole year; then got them
to take him back, yet we are dump
ing millions in the missionary fields
and paying men and women to tell
the heather about Jesus; and when
they get there, the heather charge
the missionary ST to show the mis-
Sionary where Jesus talked to the
women of Samaria, at the well.
What fools we mortals be"
Their great hobby is Go preach
the Gospel, and the Gospel must be
preached to every nation"
Luke says it has been preached to
all nations: Acts, End chapter and
9th verse.
PAUL TELLS THE COLASSIANS
THAT 1T HAS BEEN PREACHED
TO EVERY CREATURE: Colassians,
1st chapter and 23d verse.
You struck my argument in your
last article about preaching the Cos
pei where Jesus walked and talked
and healed all kinds of diseases and
performed many miracles, even rails
ing the dead.
What would we think of Turk
coming over here to teach us about
George Washington?
Many of those heathens make their
living showing the Americans the
different places that Jesus visited
Calvary and Bethlehem, and all
around Galilee, the sea upon which
He walked
Go after the fanatics: try to get
the scales off their eyes-put the
people wise-already you have done
much good.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
TOM WATSON CLUB ORGANIZED.

TOM WATSON CLUB ORGANIZED.
On March II, 1916, number of
citizens met at Union School House,
Draketown, Ca, for the purpose of
organizing Tom Watson Club, the
purpose of which is to aid in the cir
culation of Mr.. Watson's books and
papers. After listening to several
interesting speeches, a permanent
Watson Club was organized with the
following as members:
w. T. Hogue, J. T. Morris, George
T. Bell, H. E. Ingram, T. A. Lane,
Jr., j. w. Turner, r. E. Cochran, j.
Hembree, S. w. Bell, Charles A.

Then the following were elected as
officers: George T. Bell, president;
J. T. Morris and j. c. Hembree, vice
presidents; T, E. Watson Hembree,
secretary; Kirby S. Bell, assistant
secretary; H. G. Moore, chaplain
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, We have, to our utter
establishment, learned that an effort
has been made to have the Hon.
Thomas E. Watson indicted in an
other State for publishing the facts
of the Frank case, and as citizens of
Georgia, we feel that if he is to be
indicted any where he should be in
dicted where the crime was supposed
to have been committed, and not in
some other State.
Again. we feel that those who
differ with Mr.. Watson are those who
have not had the opportunity to read
his literature or are those who are
too prejudiced to give him justice.
Therefore, be it resolved, That
we most emphatically oppose any eff
fort on the part of any sect or party
to muZZle the freedom of speech or
press.
Second, That we urge the people
OF the entire State to enter their
protest through their congressman
against the threatened removal of
Mr., Watson from his home State for
trial.
Third, That we ask the people of
every Militia District in the State to
meet and organize clubs for the pur-
pose of increasing the circulation of
The Jeffersonian and the Magazine.
Fourth, That we feel that God
will see that justice is done in this,
the great struggle against oppression
and Romanism, and that all will be

WIFE OF SOUTHERN
RY ENGINEER LAYS
CRUTCHES ASIDE
p. G. Hooks Spent $4,000
Tryin 6 to Restore His
Wife'S Health-Gains 10
Pounds on Tanlac.

Another wonder full endorsement
for Tanlac that will be read with
interest by thousands Of frail, suf-
fering women throughout the South
was given recently by Mrs. Elizabeth
Hooks, of Rome, Ga. Mrs Hooks
is the wife Of P. G.. Hooks, a we'll
known Southern Railway engineer.
Mrs. Hooks made the remarkable
statement that she had received more
benefit from four bottles of Tanlac
Than from medical treatment that
lad cost her husband $4,000, which
ne had paid out in the past two years
IN an effort to restore her health.
For about two years. said Mrs.
Hooks, Il have been in very bad
health and have suffered from stom-
ach trouble, extreme nervousness
and a bad form of rheumatism. For
more than seven months | was con-
ned to my bed and was almost a
nervous and physical wreck My di-
&estion was SO poor | had to diet
myself and rarely ate anything but
soft boiled eggs and milk and things
Il that kind, and even the lightest
Of foods would nauseate me and lay
EGdNlly Oh my stomach.
Any sudden noise would affect
my nerves, and my husband had to
cult setting the alarm clock and the
door to my room had to be kept
Closed SO | could not hear the ringing
CT the telephone. / have had the
rheumatism in my left hip and shout
ders so bad / could hardly bear any
thi%S to touch me.
"My condition became SO bad. nv
husband took me. to Hot Springs,
Ark, where l remained for a month.
had to use crutches all the time.
The treatment there helped me for
while, and l returned home. l
soon relapsed into my old condition,
and then | was taken to a specialist
in Atlanta.
Il had fallen off from one hun
dred and twenty pounds until l only
weighed eighty-nine pOunds-just a
shadow Of my former self.
THE specialist prescribed a course
Of treatment, but before using the
medicine l decided to give Tanlac a
trial. | did this because Of what i
had read of Mr.. Cooper's new medi-
cine and because my husband had
heard SO many railroad men recon-
mend it.
THAT was the best resolution of
my life. | am now on my fourth
bottle and feel better than at any
time since [ became i'll. | can now
eat anything | want, and everything
/ eat agrees with me-besides, every
thing [ eat tastes good and l enjoy
my meals.
Il have set my crutches aside and
actually feel so much better L told
Ey husband a few days ago | be-
iieVed l would turn off the cook, but
he insisted that | wait while.
Il now weigh one hundred and
five pounds, which is a gain of six
teen pounds, and am improving right
along every day. Before taking Tan
lac | was SO weak and frail | was
greatly discouraged and could not
persuade myself to believe that I
would ever be able to enjoy another
well day But l don't feel that way
now. | am not nervous like / was,
and l can see and feel a great i'm
proyement. l sleep better and my
strength is returning rapidly"
Tanlac is sold by leading drug
gists in all principal towns of the

MANKATO YOUNG men RETURN
FROM TRIP ON MOTORCYCLE

G. R. Peck and ]. N. Wiedenmann,
who took trip on a motorcycle to
New York and Boston, returned to
Mankato last evening. They encount-
cred considerable rain in the east.
They visited the Indian motorcycle
factory in Springfield and there they
won distinction, they being among the
first riders who had made the trip
from this section of the country in
side car. They found the condi-
tiOnS of the roads worse in the east
than they are in the west. Naturally,
Messrs. Peck and Wiedenmann en-
countered a. number of experiences
while on their trip. Several times
they were suspected of being soldiers
who were trying to make their geta-
way. The boys were dressed in khaki
suits and looked like real warriors
Hearty, healthy, and cheerful, and
with a coat of tan on faces, hands
and arms that matched their brown
travel stained suits, Jerome Wieden-
mann and c. R. Peck arrived home
about eight o'clock last evening from
a vacation trip of about twenty nine
days, having made the journey on
side car and and covered in
all a distance of about 1000 miles
without any motor difficulty or acci-
dents of any kind. The young men
enjoyed their trip in spite Of the
rainy weather, and visited many
points of interest en- route. On May
20 they left Mankato and stopped in
Minneapolis to attend the speedway.
From Minneapolis they journeyed to
Mason City, and thence to Waterloo,
Iowa They found the roads in Iowa
very poor, which condition together
with the continuous rains made trav-
el almost impossible.
The boys got. through, however, al
though they PASSED five automobiles
that were stuck in the mud, and from
which the wheels were being removed
in order to eXtricate them. After
reaching Cedar Rapids, Iowa, they
crossed the Iowa line into Illinois and
passed through Chicago, having spent
three days getting through the mud
dy roads of Iowa. From Chicago they
went to South Porte, Indiana, and
then to La Porte, Indiana. The roads
began to get better From Cleveland,
Indiana the travellers took the steam
er to Buffalo, New York, and also
visited at Syracuse. They crossed
into Canada, and found that strict
guard was being maintained on all
bridges. From Buffalo they found
that the roads were fine, all cement
and macadam roads which remained
like a smooth pavement in spite OF
rains and travel.
The two hundred and forty miles
from Syracuse to Pittsfield, Massa-
chusetts, was made in record break
ing time, the young men travelling
through the Mohawk Valley, viewing

than 1000 men in Camp Bobleter, ac-
cording to regimental records turned
over to Captain J. A. o. Preus of the
Quartermaster's department yester-
day.
Of this number the First regiment
was credited with 46 officers and L.

officers; the Second with AZ officers
and Lip privates and mon CONS, ="
and the Third with 4S officers and l.

Mount Calm and other beautiful and
notable places of scenic grandeur. At
Springfield, Massachusetts, Messrs.
Wiedenmann and C. r. Peck visited
the Hendee Manufacturing plant,
where Indian motorcycles and bicy-
cles are made. They found that the
entire plant was busy turning out
motorcycles to be used for purposes
of war. The machines are all fin
ished in an olive drab color, almost
the color of sand, as this finish is
not as noticeable and cannot be seen
as far as the brighter colors used
for pleasure machines. The plant is
very large, and employs three thou
sand people in the factory and about
a hundred and fifty in the offices.
From Springfield the Mankato boys
went to Boston, having made the
journey from Mankato to Boston in
nine and a half days of riding time
and riding in the rain all the way
with the exception of day and a
half when the weather was not so
bad. They invested in rubber suits to
wear during the return journey to
escape such continual soaking, and
followed the same route back as far
as Chicago They then decided to
ride through Wisconsin home, and
struck bad, sandy, roads most of the
way.
Touching at Milwaukee, |isOn,
and La Crosse, they came o, 'nss to
Minneapolis, and then homo "rriv-
ing tired and hungry but W. well
pleased with their outing. The wealth
er was better during their journey
home, there being only four days of
rain. Messrs. Wiedenmann and Peck
were greatly impressed with the fine
roads in the eastern states, which
were level and paved for hundreds of
miles, affording great contrast to
the muddy and rough roads of the
west.

tain Merrill's instruction paraded the
streets of Amboy and made a very
creditable showing. The Amboy band
furnished some stirring martial music
and hundreds of town people and
farmers from the country witnessed
the parade and all hope that when
the boys see actual service that Am
boy will be proud to welcoe them
back home.
Elder Ferris of the Amboy Meth
odist church preached a patriotic SER
mon Sunday in honor of the boys Of

| London, June 27-The second day
of the trial of Sir Roger Easement for
| high treason in connection with the
Irish uprising opened with no change
in the apathetic attitude with which
the general public regards the case
The principal reason offered for this
lack of interest is the attention the
public has focused upon the conti-
,nent where what possibly may prove
that the decisive phase in the great
war is at the crucial stage on both
the eastern and western fronts.
John Mccarthy, the IriShman to
! whom belongs the honor of furnishing
| the first information that resulted in
the capture of Sir Roger Easement
the Irish rebel, on trial now on the
charge of high treason, was on the
witness stand today. 1t happened that
as Mccarthy arose from bed on the
morning of that eventful day, he
found that there was no water in the
house. He decided to go to a neigh
boring well to get some and he walked
along the seashore His attention was
soon arrested by finding boat drawn
up to the shore. Near the boat lay a
pistol and a dagger All this looked
very mysterious to Mccarthy and he
reported this to the police. Such was
the testimony given at the trial by
Mccarthy this morning.
Leo Jacobson, the Madelia boy who
was snot in that city last Sunday, as
the result of quarrel with which he
had nothing to do. and was brought
to the Emmanuel hospital in this city,
was reported this morning to be do
ing WELL He is not, however, out Of
danger. It is too soon TO say that.
The authorities at Madelia are
anxious to know how the boy will
come out of this affair, before it is de-
cided what charge to place against
Bill Jones. Jones was taken this
morning before Justice Frank Morris
of Madelia, but his matter was post
poned for two weeks. 1t is probable
that the prisoner will be brought to
the Blue Earth county Jail.
Jones says he is very sorry but
says he is not to blame. He says the
horse buyer, Jess Marsh, made pass
at him with the cane; that then Jones
drew the gun intending to hit March
with it but not to shoot him; and that
Marsh hit the gun with his cane, ex-
ploding it.
