TWO OF US TALK SOMfc. understand that some of bunch were murderers,' and Zelma, Oklahoma ' ; May 10, 1911. Edit or Fool-Killer, . ; Moravian Falls, N. C. t Dear Sir: v 1 - ,". I am in receipt of your "samples, and as I promised am sending you a bunch of subs. I like some of your artic les fine, but some, like the one on Dick Maples I think are uncalled for. I like the majority of ' Dick Maple's articles fine, like some of yours but I don't agree with him altogether on his religious views. However; he has soma mighty good articles on . Re ligion, for instance, "An All-Wise God" about two years ago," and also on "The Messina Disaster." I, like Maple, do not believe God would wil fully murder a whole cityxof good, bad and indifferent people, thousands of babies and innocent children," just for the sake of getting a good sized bunch that actually needed killing. Dick gets some pretty good proof for his arguments, and again, if the Bible was written by inspiration of God, (and I have no doubt it was), who knows how many changes were made by the King: James Revision? And who was King James and his crowd? I the sh6uld not we have some doubt about a tiling that murderers' hands have stained? I know there acre lots of people who criticize Dick's scriptural views, but nevertheless he is making lots of good jUClUll, aim IUD xvip-oaw .. imuno broadside after - broadside into this system of hell on earth, and that is what we want. Dick has a field of his awn; you just. let him be You have a field of your own, and if yoti preach for the social revolution I will sup port The Fool-Killer, also the Rip Saw, The Appeal, The Christian So cialist, and many other papers. How ever, if you go on fighting different editors of Socialist papcis I vrtll-dro;) you. But I hope you will plead for better conditions and hit all the rob ber barons. . Darwin had a right to express his opinions; so did Paul; so did Jesus; so did Joe Smith; so did Ingersoll; and so do you and I. We all have a right to our own opinion. However, I will shake your paw and send you five subs, all non Socialists but myself. So here goes for the overthrow of Capitalism and the establishment of Christ's prin ciples on earth. v. Yours comradely,.. CH AS. M. EVANS. Bully for you, comrade! Doggon if I ain't struck on you. Perhaps you didn't write the above letter for pub lication, but I hope your Socialistic generosity will excuse me for passing it on to my readers. it seems that we both agree and disagree as to Dick Maple's theolog ical views. You don't believe his atheistic twaddle a bit more than I do, but you are willing to let him' put five drops of good Socialism into a glass full of bad Infidelity and pour it dovn you. In other, words, if your grocer offered to sell you one good han of meat on condition that you would buy half-a-dozen rotten hams, you would hold your nose and call it a bargain. I like a liberal-minded man, but you please me a little too well. , " " UnULlQ) .Kate Isi Clubs of .Five, ISc a" Year..

One Sear's ?rce trial Cornish Instruments for real merit, are unex celled by any other -waaiever me or name or repu I; want to say- now, in just as few that is consistently Christ-like in pre- words as possible, that I am. not lighting Dick Maple because he is a Socialist. In fact, I could rather like him for that if his other bad habits didn't turn my stomach so. I enjoy reading those "broadsides" against plutocracy and capitalism; as much as you do, and find myself inwardly say ing amen to every one of - them. I realize that the devil and the money power are carrying things with a high hand in this country, 'and that there has s got to be a shaking up of the dry bones pretty soon. When I look out over the world and see the awful crimes that are committed in the name of business and politics, it makes my blood fairly boil. The old political parties are getting more cor rupt every day, and there is no hope of either reformed or kicked out. And a' man must be a - blind partizan fool if he can't see it. Looking at these things : as I do, I cannot help having a warm place in my heart, for the Socialists. But that is no reason" in the world why I must swallow Dick Maple's infidelity. You say Dick is making lots of good So cialists. ' No doubt' he is - making a few : converts among the worldly and ungodly classes the "free-thinkers" and those who consider it "smart" to d..ny the God who made ', them. ' But toi' every comraae - or tnat stripe that Dick adds to the ranks, he scares away dozens of good Christian people who might become "comrades" ex cept for his wild-eyed thunderings against all that they hold most dear. I tell you, Comrade Evans, your So cialist party is cutting its own throat every time it , allows a bat-blind atheist or infidel to rise up in the councils of the : party and begin to preach his own devilish doctrines un der the guise of Socialism. Good people i are afraid - of such stuff, and well They may be. People very nat urally get the idea j that Socialism is a hot-bed of infidelity and other dan gerous teachings, and they shun it as they woilld a rattlesnake. Whereas, if these, bad features were eliminated; and the people knew it was so, many would be attracted to your movement by the features that certainly do look good, . You go on to speak about the estab lishment of Christ's principles on earth. Bull's foot! How. in the bless ed goodness do . you expect to estab lish ! the principles . of Christ by trot ting at, the ; heels . of an . old sin hardened son-6f-a-gun . who denies the very existence of Christ and the truth of his glorious mission? Why, the very thought is ridiculous ; in the extreme. Whenever you can show me a -Socialist party that really stands for. the principles of Christ a Socialist party cept and example then you? can - talk to me about being a Socialist. " But so long as your leaders preach Chrjst with one breath and deny him with the next so long as they wink .at God with one eye and at the devil with the other just so long , will I refuse to mix . up i with any ' such a mess .

They have discovered the ispotical dent no, I mean the identical spot where the devil hit the earth when he fell. , The story . goes that near Taxahaw,' South Carolina, there is an awful deep lake, and near the lake is i a great flat rock, the surface of which' covers forty acres. Several huge tracks have been discovered on that big rock. They are said to ; be just' like humaiK footprints, except they are big enough to bury "a cow in. The old folks are quite positive that when the devil was kicked out of heaven he struck the earth where the deep lake' is and walked away over the big rock, leaving those terrible tracks as a Sunday School lesson for the unborn generations. ( don't know how big the devil is, nor what number of shoe he wears, but if his physical size is anything to compare with the devilment he can do, it's a wonder , he didn't knock old South Carolina plumb off the map. His tracks on the rock are said to be, about three hundred yards apart, alternating jight and. left, and that gives us an idea how; long his legs are. A devil that can cover three hundred yards at one step and then sink, up half leg deep in a solid rock is some devil, and, don't you fprget it. I am glad they have got on the dev il's track at last. It must be a rather cold trail, but maybe it will be some help to the preachers in their efforts to run the old fellow into a hollow log and twist him out. trial Wfll Cost You Abtolutely Nothing' If the instru- 1 Two Years Credit If Needed : men t does not prove better value for the money than you can get any ; where else If it Is not as good an Instrument a s yon can buy f pr one-third more than we ask If at any time within a year you feel that you have not a good bargain, send it back; we won't find one word of fault with your de cision, and von will not be one cent out of pocket for freight or for V use of the instrument. -.
