"The 4fh Degree Oath of the
knights OF Columbus"

TO meet the bluff and the falsehoods of
those Americans who have foresworn
loyal principles, and have become oath-bound
subjects of forei On power, [ have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet.
The men who take that oath are traitors
to our Government, and spies in our camp.
They are armed and drilled, as military
men, and kept in readiness to use their steel
swords, and their up-to-date rifles against
their fellow citizens.
This question of Popery is the most impor-
tant question now facing the people of
America
Get my pamphlet, and study the facts for
yourselves. Priced ten cents.

L. & N. Railroad About TO Get the
Georgia Statehood.

+ it IS true, as newspaper reports indicate,
that the legislature gave to the ". & A.
Commission the p0rer Of ocAersLiD over the
State Road, the action is as hard to under
stand was the legislative creation of GOO
county offices, app0intire, and practically
detpotic.
The latter measure was of course primarily
designed to vest a c0terie IN each Civ with
the royal prerogative of exempting them
selves from taxation, at the same time that
the enormous Y profitable corporation prop
erty owned at the North, is exempted from
ITS Legitimate burden.
1t IS not to be wondered at that small
coteries have initiated the large ones. and that,
in many counties of the State the local ring
llghtens Its own load to suit itself, while adj
ding the difference to the already excessive
taxes of their enemies.
Speaker BurWell is the man who ''put Over''
that Infamous tax inequality law.
Speaker Burwel is likewise the same
palace resident who proposed to vest the w
( A. Commission with full power to sell the
Western & Atlantic Railroad.
The lnsidious attempt to betray the State,
outright, was defeated, but if the reports of
the new lease are correct. Burwel & Co. have
about accomplished their treacherous purpose
in another direction.
To lease the Road for two generations, is
almost a sale.
To lease it at less than per cent interest
on the money it would cost to reproduce it,
y better for the Lessee than sale.
To pretend that a provision for 100000
annual improvements protects the State, Or
benefits the State, is absurd on the face of it.
The manner In which the State Roal has
been made carcass for lawyers and lobby
lists and political loafers to feed on, is scandal
Olls
If the people of Georgia knew half the
truth, there would be a roar of indignation
from River to River, and from the Tennessee
line to the Ocean.
Surely, the Governor will not be inactive
while the Candleriged C0mH1isSi0n delivers
our most valuable asset to its most deadly
enemy.
Surely, some philosophical citizen will
think enough of honor, right and fair-p play
to sue out an injunction against the iniqni-
tous scheme of the Canderized Commission.
No property should be leased for two
generations.
Public policy is against long leases
To surrender the Road for so years, is mon.
strous!
In less than so years, Government Owner
ship will come.
Such lease not only puts obstruction
in the way of naturalization, but mocks our
proposition. ratified IN Dorsey's election, to
extend the Road to deep water!

To the Editor
Dear Sir:-Enclosed please find announcement
OF the formation of the Cathlic Laymens Asso-
citation of Georgia, the intent and purpose of
which are fully explained therein Any you
may make Of this news item will be appreciated,
editorial comment thereon is invited
We are planning to do some advertising and
VIII appreciate your sending us your rate for
three-inch single column adv. time monthly
and annually. Also your rate for two-inch
double column adv. above.
AS it will take several weeks to get
plans under way will Appreciate your send
ing copy of your paper for the next few issues,
and if any use is made of the enclosed item,
marked copy is requested.
Thanking you in advance
Very truly yours,
J. J. FARRELL.
j. J. Farrell and his X Of c. Brotherhood
know very we'll that most papers live on adj
vertising, and he also knows that few Of the
Editors are posted as to the true purpose of
these papal Brotherhoods.
How many editors know that the 4th De
gree Knights of Columbus deliberately
murdered William Black, in Marshall, Texas,
only t1p0 gears ago. when he refused to leave
town and quit lecturing for the Protestant
cause
How many editors know that every single
one of the popes American papers and
cieties gloated over that murder boosted of
it, and glorified the cowardly assassins?
William Black was murdered because the
Zoe0 Of tie Roman church teaches that 1t as
iustifoJJe to kill P10testants.
Doesn't J. J. Farrell know this?
Of course, he does.
Doesn't Farrell believe in the teachings of
his church?
Of course he does.
If Farrell, and his gang could have Cover
nor Cats treated ust like William Black,
they would do it.
They don't, as yet, do it, because they are
not, as yet, strong enough.
But they are striving desperately to, become
strong enough; and they have the unwilling
aid Of such prostitute Protestants as Ashby
Jones and w. N. Ainsworth.
In Haverhill, Massachusetts, they were
strong enough to forbid a Protestant lecture
against the giving of State funds to the
Catholic schools, and they did it.
They prevented Leydens lecture, hunted
him out of the State, rioted through the
streets, smashed the windows of public build
ings, assaulted Protestant clergymen IN the
streets, and attacked the home of one.
They would do exactly the same in Macon,
Atlanta, Savannah and Augusta, If they
dared
Tn New Jersey they were strong enough to
chase Protestant speakers out of the State,
and they did it: they would do the same in
Georgia, If they could.
IT'S IN EN-
They have shown it by the malignant vim
dictiveness with which they forced the Hotel
Dempsey to discharge its faithful manager,
W. E. Reed
They have shown it by the satanic cruelty
with which they destroyed the homes of the

Ot2cS and PrOteSt0NtS.
But i'll 1908, the Italian pope proclaimed,
IN this country, the infamous law of the Mid
ole Ages, to the effect that no Christian mar
rage was valid without a priest to perform
it.
If Catholic sins mortally by living with
a wife whom the State recognizes as SUCH
what has become of the souls of the Catholics
who were permitted to obey State laws for
f0ur centuries?
Is mortal sin thing in itself, or is it
papal caprice?
Does sin grow from violations of moral
law. or merely from infractions of papal law?
If marriage is sacramento why were Cath
olics not informed of the papal law. before
1908?
Why did they wait till now to tell the
American world that our Protestant mothers
were legalized concubines. and our wives no
more married, than the shut-up nuns that the
priests keep?
Because, they didn't feel strong enough.
Nom, they DO!
The answer which the Editor of the Lo-
ganville Record made to the new Brother
hood is fine. and I republish it, commanding
it to the attention of Hugh Rowe Ashby
Jones, and W. n Ainsworth:
I.oganville, Ca, JAN 80, 1917
Mr.. J. J. Farrell,
Macon, Ga.
Dear Sir:-Your circular letter received and
contents noted and will say in reply that if did
not regard the Catholic Church the greatest
menace to American principles and American
liberties in this country I would be glad to give
publicity to your announcements, but regarding
your church [ do l most respectfully decline
your advertising.
The Record under my management has never
knowingly accepted advertisements that
truthful or from parties whose business was not
open and above board.
When your church gets ready to let the light
in on its dark ways our columns will be free to
you. In fact we never have never will accept
payment for legitimate church advertising.
Respectfully
F. NJ GRISSETTE.
In Denver Colorado, where the 18th De
gree knights of Columbus felt strong enough,
they broke into the private room of Rev. Otis
L. Sturgeon, seized him, dragged him out,
threw him into an automobile, carried him
20 miles, took him out beat him like dog,
and left him to die in the ditch by the road
side
What had he done?
He had done Just what William Black was
doing, when they murdered him.
He was doing what Barnett, Jordan. Bolles,
Clark, Parker. and Seguin have been doing.
He was doing what Pauth was trying to
do in Richmond, Virginia. when the Knights
of Columbus first threatened him with death,
then insulted him while he was telling the
truth about Rome law of marriage, and then
induced the Mayor to forbid him to speak
further.
What the Catholic Laymen of Georgia
would like to do--and are aiming to dos
to grow strong enough to silence the Protest
ant lecturers, beat and kill those whom they
cannot silence, and to do their share in obey
ing the pope's command to

Utah Sets New Record in Coal.

The production of coal in Utah in 1916 was 3.567.42S net tons, valued at S5795,9 ,944 an increase, compared with 1915 of about 459.000 tons. or lo per cent. in quantity, and of sSI9,000, or IS per cent. in value. The output In 1916. according to C. F. Lesher of the United States Geological Survey, De- pArtment of the Interior. was the greatest on record for the state Of Utah and exceeds that of 1913, the previous record year by more than 312 800 tons. The increase was made largely in comercial shipments from the mines of Carbon County, all other counties recording decreases: The consumption of Utah coal by the rail- roads increas and the market on the Pacific was extended largely by reason of the decrease in water borne fuel from Australia and Japan and from the Atlantic coast of the United States The activity of the Smelters and metal mines increased largely the output Of both coal and coke.
 For the first 10 months of 1918, eX cept for short periods of car shortage, the transportation facilities were am pie In November and December the car supply was reduced and production was somewhat curtafled. Tn the early part of the year the supply of labor was normal, but in the summer many men left the coal mines to work in the metal mines, where there is more working time and better wages, and many others were reported to have left to seek employment in intuition factories and other industries in the East, in the hope of getting better pay. The number of employees decreased from 3564 in 1915 to 3,129 in 1916, but the average number of days worked increased from POS to 225 in 1916. The average value of the coal per ton in creased from $1.5S in 1915 to s1.62 in 1916

LETTERS TO THE EDIT07
About Gardening.

Mir. Editor: To the lady from Wood stock I would like to say thank you, but it is nothing new to have my pre- dictions verified. I have more than 25 years of success at the game. Mrs. S-- of Lebanon, NIT. F. I/. of Ash ford; W. H. of Colchester. and three ladies of Voluntown. all ask what to do for cut worm. I don't both CT with such things-fall blowing 2 helps and q liberal scattering Of coal ashes around plots where cab bage, pepper and tomato plants are set keep them down.
 I have set 2000 cabbage plants on land prepared with plenty of coal ashes and never lost one by cut worms, while g young peach trees a few yards away on unprepared ground were all cut in one night. notwithstanding peach trees are very bitter. If your ground has not been prepared, here is good way to set your tomato and cabbage plants:
 Cut some stiff wrapping paper in 3 inch by inch size; wrap loosely around the plants with about an inch on top of ground. When the plant grows strong enough to protect it. self fro cut worms. the paper will be routed away.
 Mrs. I-- of Lyme wants to know what time of day is best to set cabbage plants. If the weather is dry, I set them about in the after noon, water them well. and if they Wllt any the COO1 nl-nI VIII get them past danger, especially if watered again the next morning. l never lose cabbage plants when set this way. If set at night they have the entire sun next day to wilt them and some may die. If set in the early morning I also find I lose some The idea of getting them started part of q day at first you will find good one.
 Mrs. P-- of Norwich asks what about cultivating peas? She says that a neighbo tells her mot to hoe them" should say the neighbor is wrong. Hoe them. but after fhe little run ners have started well. never pull out weeds that are close among them al it disturbs them and spoiis the crop. 4 few weeds in the heart of the row serve as supports for the tender vines-of course you must use your own judgment as to what kind of weeds to leave-rag weed for in- stance. ChOkes the pea.
 No, no. Mrs. T E. P. you must not go out before sunrise and hoe those beans-blast is very, very likely to follow. Neither must you hoe them when 1t is raining.
 William says he has tried four diff ferent poisons for cut worms without success. Now. William, get some coal ashes-exan1ine the ground before setting plants and then mix the coal ashes with the soil four or six inches worms will hunt other plants.

POWER OF GRIM PURPOSE

"Nonsense!" said Jimmy's mother i as that young man reluctantly de- 1 parted for school ''Of course. you are going to pass the arithmetic exami- nation! Anybody can do anything he determines to do-remember that!' Well" remarked the father of the family after the door had been safely shut upon his son, T should think you would be ashamed of yourself.

 Joshua was force PerSonified. He

 that we would have to do it.
 
 He converted the impossible into the ordinary and herculean tasks into mere trif1e. His mission in life was to make you exercise all the pep that was in you and acquire an extra sup ply in the bargain.

 She was one of these 1.-the grace full creatures with long lashes and lily hands and a way of melting around the place instead of walking like other people. And she was late always.

National Prohibition.

MT. Editor: I was pleased to see in The Bulletin recently a letter from Mrs. Malfnda Robinson-written on prohibitiorl-for it's very seldom that we sec one of it's tone in any of the papers. I often wonder if war against the rum traffic was waged, if the women would exert themse4~es to the extent that they are now doing against Germany. While I have not a drop of German blood in my body q would not be proud of it if l had) believe if the cursed rum traffic was crushed and we had national prohi- bition, so many countries would not be at war with each other Then again think of the money wasted, when so many people could be pro- vided for. No happy homes would be broken up through the cursed saloons. What is our government doing to rid this country of it's evils? While I never endorsed Mrs. Carrie Nation in the methods that sine used in trying to break up the saloon. I wish we had more women who had the same spirit, courage and convictions, showing the interest and fearlessness that she dis played on many occasions If we cannot use the hatchet as Carrie Ma tion did we can fight in the way that will bring national prohibition.
 Then brothers will not have to go to war with each other for men will have clearer braines, kinder hearts, and happier homes and surroundings, and peace will reign on earth as it has never done before If we can have peace, what wore do we want on this

is the fact that the lives of non-com- batants have been taken which calls forth the greatest indignation. But ap- parentfy in this, as In other instances the Germans fail to realize that the responsibility lies with their own gov ernment.
 Tn such matters. however, it is usual Y the guilty party which does the most hofiering when he is hurt. Ger many began the practice a long time ago of violating the rules of war and disregarding the rights of others. It has persisted in such actions through out the war. The course which it has followed has been an invitation for it's enemies to play the same game. The result has been that even though they are opposed to such practice and fesitated long before adopting 1t, the allies were forced to resort to the same tactics, and the reprisais which have been carried out against German cities which are unfortifled are only what they ought to have expected.
 But there is one thing which the Germans fail to consider. They know that if they had not indulged in such lnjustifed actions. such methods of reparation would not have been prac- ticed against them. They are paying the penalty of their own rnisdeeds and should understand by now what is necessary to avoid any repetition.

THE SUBMARINE MENACE.

From the statements which have been made public by Great Britain of late relative to the losses bv subrna = rines it is quite evident that Secretary Lane did not overstate the matter when he declared that the situation which was presented thereby was alarming. Such has been voiced by speakers in the British parliament who have been clamoring for greater ac- tivity against the subsea boats. for the conservation of food supplies and the elimination of excess and waste, IL is a question, however, whether the shutting off of the news regarding the sinking of the vessels by the s1b- marines has served to impress upon the people the real significance of the submarine menace.
 BD-ched together at the end of the week, summarized in a manner which furnishes no details. the reported list of so mary vessels under 1 500 tons sunk and SC many over that tonnage destroyed can hardly be expected to c-rrs- tcme to the people the impor- ta-t fact that they have actually got t= de something themselves which viii TcJlrce the amount of foodstuffs and materials which are being secured af-osd
 Ths-c are two ways of combating this underwater boat menace. One by hunting down the submarines and the other by making every effort to permit Of a reduction of imports by the Eu- ropean allies and both of them, with such improvements as can be made must be exerted to the limit. and the people can be expected to respond to the part which they must play much more rapidly if they are aware of what is actually going on to cause 1t.

STORIES OF THE WAR
The Dismemberrent of Turkey.
Anticipating the capture of Jeruss

Anticipating the capture Of Jerusa- lem by the British Army which is now Gaza. Sir Harry H. Johnston, the noted traveller and explorer, who is writing War Leaders" for the London Eve ming News, Gone of the Northcl1ffe papers), indicates in recent article the following developments before the end of 1917:
 France possibly in charge of Syria, which is longing for French protec- torate; Independent Arabia, freed from Turkish garrisons: and the rest of power of one or the other of the AL lies, pending a final settlement of the whole Turkish question.
 Tn such an event, what may be the future of the Holy Land?" asks Sir
 The whole history of Egypt shows that it can on.y be safe from hostile attacks if it Is defended from Pales- tine. Either Palestine must be an un- warlikc, neutral state, or it must be occupied by the Power that governs or. in our case. protects Egypt. French and Italian Catholics might resent it's being governed by mainly Protes- tant Britain; British and American Christians might dislike it's coming under the dominion of Greek or Ar mcnian churches. The best solution is the recreation of Palestine as a Jewish state.
 Sir Harry Johnston points out that this view of the disposition of Pal estine was held in Englans prior to the outbreak of war. Aut the attitude of Jews of German origin. both in America and in Central Europe, aroused the fear that the esta ablisll- ment of a Jewish state in Palestine would mean the iTnplantiIrg of German influence dangerously near the wasp waist of the British Empire. But the wreter iustifes the attitude of the German Jews, which he explains was because of the way the Jews had been treated in Orthodox Russia, in Russian Poland in Roumania, and even (remember the Dreyfus case) in France. But France has changed: and most of all Russia, in one week, has been revolutionized. The Amer ican Jews are beginning to feel that Russia is making the amende honor able. Hence, the writer urges there can now be no danger to the British Empire in the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine. He closes his article with the statement: "It will be one of the many splendid achievements of this horrible war if we not only restore Poland's nationality but the Kingdom of Israel to the Jews.'
