RESOLUTIONS, BY McDUFFlE
FARMERS UNION.

The following resolutions were
passed by the McDuffie Farmers
Union in regular monthly meeting
assembled, on this, the fifteenth day
of April, 1916, to-wit:
Whereas, there is pending before
the Congress of the United States
legislation of vital Importance to the
country at-large, and upon which all
good citizens and organizations
should be informed and express
themselves, to the end that the law
making body may be advised Of the
wishes of the people; and,
Whereas, our Congressman, the
Honorable Carl Vinson, has very
courageously requested an express
sion of opinion from his constituents
as a guide to his action; and,
Whereas, the Farmers Union of
this county feels keen interest in
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-05-11

the Importance of the questions
pending, and the proper solution Of
each of same; therefore, be it re-
solved:
/. THAT while we believe in pre-
paredness' in every proper sense and
think that the United States Govern
ment should exercise wisdom in the
matter of providing and maintain
ing all adequate Army and Navy Tor
proper defense, still we fear the
country is swinging to the extreme
of this idea and the tendency is too
great to prepare for war, which
would be more or less an invitation.
We respectfully request our Repre-
sentatives in Congress to find and
stand for sane, conservative view
of the situation as it may present
itself after mature consideration is
given it in the light Of present day
developments.
2. 1--WE heartily endorse a proper
Rural Credits Bill, and sincerely
trust that the patriotism Of the
country may frame such a measure
as will really meet the end that it
has in view, instead Of operating in
the interest Of some organization or
person or persons not contemplated
- in the original suggestion. We re-
spectfully urge our Congressman to
support measure which will indeed
as we'll as in name be Rural Credits
bill of real worth to the country-at-
large.
8. THAT we deplore the laxity of
the past immigration laws and sin
cerely hope for a greater betterment
of the conditions which have obtain
ed, and believe that wise restrictions
of the class Of immigrants allowed
to come amongst us will prove Of
great and lasting benefit to the
country.
f. THAT we deplore our inability
to realize a fair profit on our cotton
crop during the recent world war,
and respectfully urge our Congress
man to support any proper measure
looking to relief from such a condi-
ton for the future, whether through
a Ship Purchase bill or some better
measure.
s. THAT a copy of these resolu-
tions be furnished Hon. Carl Vim
son by the Secretary, and a copy sent
to The Jeffersonian.
6. THAT we. disapprove of any
encroaChment of State rights and
Capitalization of power in the Ma
tional Government, and respectfully
request our Congressman to fight the
Sheppard amendment to she Consti-
tuition. S. H. REESE, President.
A. M. BAILEY, Secretary.

THE EGO OF PRIEST CAMPBELL

Wf1E EUO vi TESAES1 CAMF bEIlL.
Dear Sir: In The Jeffersonian
for March 10Th I noticed that dear
old Father" Campbell of the Anti
dote was still raving in his clotage.
The lego" of the average Roman
Catholic priest is easy to understand
when you once get acquainted with
the hierarchys claim for them and
their dupes belief in same.
The New Mission Book" of the
priest is a second Christ
It is easy to understand why an
unregenerated old boy like Priest
Campbell can whip himself into be-
lieving anything as to his attain
ments or powers to perform.
Campbell claims he, by the use Of
the antidote killed The Sentinel of
Liberty Liberator and Peril he even
claims that I wrote admitting the
Antidote killed The Sentinel.
If Campbell believes himself to be
a second Christ" we can understand
how Ie might believe his compari-
lively unknown Antidote did the
work. AS Christ fed the multitude
on few fishes, but we fail to see
where he can get from Christ's life
or teachings, his inspiration for ly-
ing.
We wish to state most emphatical-
cally that the Antidote never had any
thing to do with putting The Sentinel
out Of business, nor did we ever
write such. He who says so knows
he lies. be he second Christ" or
a devil.
This man, Campbell, was proven
by us before as a liar and he had to
take it, and his own paper backed
off from the proposition.
We admire the courage of this
"holy fraud" but hold supreme con-
tempt for his disregard to truth.
Campbell claims to have gone ST.
600 in the hole while killing us off.
That's strange He gets fifty cents
a year for his small sheet and says
he does his own work. If he had
10000 circulation he would have
$4,000. His paper would have cost
him 81, $50 and if the Catholic con-
gressmen did not allow him the use
of their frank" then his postage
would have cost him $3.50. Now
what I'D he do. with the other
$3.50? With less circulation,
then what?
Here is what killed the papers
alluded to. No paper at 25 cents per
year can exist unless it has a circula-
ton of over 100000. These papers
never had that amount, they paid the
price.
Before the recent nation wide fight
to choke of Rome's hold upon our
national life, Tom Watson was cry
ing aloud against their encroach-
ments. Rome knows Tom is largely
responsible for all Of this fuss. To
day she fears him as no other man
upon American soil. There is no ex-
tent to which they will not 60 to kill
off his influence. For that reason
every loyal American should rally to
his support. Though far away from
Georgia / can say / am proud that
am a native born son of that noble
state. 1t is such men as him that
makes it so.

FEDERAL INDICTMENTS
REPORTED At VALDOSTA
ONE SAID TO HAVE BEEN
RETURNED AGAINST E.
A. TAPP, MISSING CASH
TER OF OCILLA.

Naldosta, June 15.-The grand
jury of the district federal court,
in session here this week, is un-
derstood to have returned an in
dictment for embezzlement
against E. A. Tapp, the abscond-
ing cashier of the First National
bank of Ocilla, who disappeared
last fall, leaving a shortage in his
accounts. Tapp was prominent
man in his community and his
disappearance created unusual ex-
citement in that section. The ex-
act amount of his shortage has
never been made public, but it is
thought to have been between
$4,000 and $4,000, which was
lost in cotton speculation. Tapp
made over most of his property
to the bank, materially reducing
the loss to the institution. He
then left the country and his
whereabouts are yet unknown.
The grand jury is also reported
to have returned a true bill,
against Jeff and Arden Keel, the
