Good Wishes and Prayers Sent
T. E. w. for Success.
A. l.. l..

ON Monday morning, Thos E. Watson left
~ his home in Thomson at six-thirty
o'clock, to appear for the third time before
Federal Judge in the Federal Court at Au-
gusta.
The good wishes and the earnest prayers Of
many, have been expressed in many ways, for
the outcome of this we'll known case
That man, desiring to prove the evils of a
system, could be indicted, tried. indicted
again, and harassed in every known way, be-
cause he had taken part of the literature used
by the system for many years, and presented
it in the same garb the system had presented
1t, seems Incredible
But this is the fact:
Thomas +. Watson has never been indicted
for "obscenity" written bY himself
He has been indicted, prosecuted and perse-
cuted for proving the contention he has made.
and for use Of Latin which has been for many
years, part Of the book of instruction for
Roman Catholic priests.
The Latin is medieval, or ancient Latin 1t
is not taught in Schools and is rarely taught
In colleges.
The ordinary, well-read scholar, who can
translate freely modern Latin, can only with
difficulty, at great effort and using a lexicon,
translate the Latin into which Liguori and
Dens put their queries to penitents"
A point which the daily press has ignored
as steadily as it has the fact that Mr.. Wat
sons Indictment rested on quotation, is this:
The Latin may be translated into as de
cent English as any other foreign quotation
(too harsh for the language easily ready may
be translated.
AS to the outcome Of the trial, in view of
the efforts that have been made to drag the
case on for an indefinite period, no one can
tell, but the letters which have come to Mr.
Watson, weighted with good wishes and
prayers for his vindicaton have done much
to comfort Mr.. Watson's family and those
near him.
1t was impossible for Mr.. Watson to reply
in person to each, but that he will read each,
is assured, when he shall have been permitted
to resume the even trend of his life again.
The following friends have written, and
their good wishes are gratefully acknowl-
edged
