January the 14th, 1914.
Mr.. W. E. Reed
Macon, Georgia.
Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your
resignation handed me today, and the same is
accepted with the greatest of regrets.
[ feel compelled to state to you that during all
of your dealings as Manager of Hotel Dempsey
l have found every act of yours very efficient and
deserving of commentator.
[ would like to have you feel that in you
have a true and good friend and | shall ask that
if at any time you and my recon-
mendatiOn in your business you will not hesitate
to call upon
Regretting that you will leave and wishing
to you the extreme of prosperity am,
Sincerely yours
President of Hotel Dempsey Co..
(Signed) n M. BLOCK.
Citizen Block-rather a diminutive block
of manhood, apparently -declares to Reed
that he, Block, had approved everything that
Reed had done; but, owing to the sweet neigh
borliness of A. j. Long, and other Catholic
laymen-who say that they "are not out for
reforming, or opposing, or fighting any60dy'
the said Citizen Block felt constrained to
sever his relations with the Manager, who
had given complete satisfaction, except to
these amiable, benevolent, good hearted Cath
olics
Mr.. Reeds letter concludes with further
evidence of the most sweet disposition of these
mpathy-seeEers, these virtuous patriots who
now say, eve reach out our hands as Geor-
gias true men, for friendly, trusting, help
full relationship" etc.

men then do to their neighbor Reed?
They compelled the Company to discharge
him, and ran him out of town.
[ have on my file the letter which the
President of the Company wrote to Mr. Reed
assuring him that he had performed his
duties In blameless and satisfactory man
ner
This characteristic incident happened so
recently, and is SO illustrative of the real de-
structive intolerance which every one of these
papists conceals in his breast, that will Law
the facts more fully before you.
Mr. w. E. Reed wrote to me. on the sta
tionery Of the Hotel Dempsey, Jan. 90 1914
He sought my advice, in what he termed
my present predicament." He said, Il am
young man 81 years of age
He had been chief clerk at the Savannah
Hotel, but being offered better position by
the Hotel Dempsey Co., he resigned in Sa-
vannah, and went to Macon.
Mr. Reed states that zone of the Sisters of
the Mt. De Sales Academy made first ap-
pllcatlon for the ballroom, and II stated to
her that, while had no authority to let out
the ballroom =. without obtaining per-
mission from the Board of Directors. I would
do all [ could to assist her and the cause she
was representing, and that [ would take the
matter up with the Board of Directors''
Mr.. Reed goes on to say that he kept
has promise, mentioned the matter to Mr. n
M. Block, the President Of the Co.,, and Mr.
Block stated that the Board would have to
pass on the request
Then Mr.. Block fell sick, was ordered by
his doctors to keep his bed and was for some
time unable to attend to the Hotel business
During this illness of the President of the
Company, the impatient Catholics kept after
Reed, demanding the ballroom, and they re-
fused to be satisfied with Reeds statement
that Block was i'll and could not lay the mat
ter before the Board
In this way, the date on which the ball
room was desired, passed, and that first ap-
plication, pr0videntiazzy defeated, filled the
Catholics with enmity against Reed
When the second application was made, and
Reed again answered that he himself had no
authority to grant it, the Catholics at once
took the war path.
They wouldn't wait for the President or
the Board: they demanded the dismissal of
Reed
These loving and neighborly Catholic lay
men went to the Directors of the Hotel and
told them that if Reed were not summarily
discharged, call the Catholics of Macon, and
elsewhere, would band together and BOYCOTT
the hotel, from start to finish"
And now these sweet Catholics "invite the
cooperation and the confidence, the good will
and the understanding sympathy of all our
fellow citizens"
Is Reed invited? Are the bull-dozed Di-
rectors of the Hotel Dempsey invited?
Oh, how the papists can change their tune,
achen they realize that they are getting the
qc0rSt of 1t.
In 1895, they were burning men, women,
and CHILDREN in Mexico, for being Protestants.

PLANS BEING MADE TO SECURE
SERVICES OF CAPABLE FED
ERAL MAN ON THE PROPOSED
BEACH BOULEVARD.

Plans are being made for the en-
p!oyment of a federal road engineer
to superintend the work paving the
concrete boulevard to the aeronautic
station, provided that sufficient funds
can be raised by The county to pave
its share of the highway.
A number of local organizations
have interested themselves in the
work of securing a paved road to the
station, and it is believed that the
matter viii come up for considera-
tion at the regular meeting of the
board of county commissioners one
week from tomorrow.
It is stated by those who have
kept in close touch with the situation
that funds for paving the govern
ment's part of the road are already
available, but will not be expended
until the county agrees to pave its
share, As the county owns a smaller
part of the road than either the gov
ernment or the cSy, it is stated that
an agreement can be effected by
which the work will be done.
