Volney Williams Takes Issue
With Him Over Candidate’s
Record in Legislature.
FRIENDS WRITE A LETTER
Russell in Bainbridge Wednes
day—Pope Brown and Du
pont Guerry in Americus.
Pope Brown headquarters Is tn re
celpt of a long letter, signed “Anxious
Voter" (which It Is claimed Is from a
joe Brown supporter), asking 'an an
swer to the Bartow S. -Willingham let
ter which attacks the prohibition rec
ord of Pope Brown. Discussing this.
Volney Williams, campaign manager
for Tope Brown, says:
"Mr. Brown has paid no attention
to the Willingham letter for two rea
sons: First, because Mr. Willingham
Is In no way a recognized leader of
prohibition, and second, because the
only real charge made -against Sir.
Brown's prohibition record Is absolute
ly false upon Its face.
“While It Is true that In the year
1898 Mr. Willingham Introduced a pro
hibition bill, yet it IS further true that
this Is the only record that tho prohi
bitionists have of any services .render
ed by Mr. Willingham. It U also true
that ever since Mr. Willingham Intro
duced his famous bill, he has attempted
to use the fact as a political asset.
“Mr. Willingham stated that Pope
Brown voted against the Boynton bill,
which he Willingham, stated was a
straight out prohibition measure. This
is a -straight-out’ misrepresentation,
and Mr. Willingham knows It. The
Boynton bill provided for dispensaries,
and the manufacture of liquors.
“Mr. Willingham stated In his open
letter to Mr. Brown that Governor
Joseph M: Brown had always been a
consistent prohibitionist. What does
Mr. Willingham have to say about Dr.
John E. Whtte-s statement that ’Joseph
M. Brown's election was largely due to
the liquor Interests and tho corpora
tions.'
"If the people of Georgia want Pope
Brown’s true prohibition record they
might be referred to the following, let
ter, signed by his old friends and
neighbors, who have known him for
years:
Letter to Rope Brown,
'"Dear Mr. Brown: To your home
people who have seen you In tha thick
est of every tight waged in our coun
ty and State against the sale of whisky,

hibition so dear to you as well as us.
“ 'More than 25 years ago when near

sold by the pint and up. when It was
regarded respectablo to soil It, and

you were ono of our most valiant gen

activity, especially with the negro
voter that thronged yours and your
neighbors' farms was an Important

equally us strongly lined up in the
cause of prohibition.

A way to make money that would

some of the good Baptist women last
week when their church was holding a
cake sale At' the same time that a
Methodist church was trying to ralsd

Both ladles’ societies In the two
churches had cake stands In Whlto-
hall-st. But there the similarity ended.
It w».s the first cake sale the Methodist
ladles of that particular church had
ever held and they made and begged
great quantities of cake, which they
placed on' sale at 50 cents per cake.
The Baptist dealers in cake were
wiser. They had not as many cake* on
their counters, but they asked and re

New Orleans, La, Nov. 22.—President

today gave his Indorsement to the cen
tral bank system plan of monetary re
form, advocated by Senator Nelson Al
drich, In an address before the conven.
tlon of the American Bankers associa
tion. declaring that it offers a method
of reform currency and banking sys
tems that can be fitted Into existing
conditions without working revolution
ary changes, while at the same time It
promises good chances of immunity
from the machinations of political and
Wall Street interests. Currency reform
Is a question which, in public Interest,
should take precedence of both partisan
political Issues and tariff agitation.
”1 recognize the propriety of bringing
our tariff laws Into harmony with the
conditions of modern Industry and
commerce and the demands of the con
suming public,” said President Schur
man. “And tho I am firmly convinced
that business on a large scale is abso

tho public have a right to be protected
from oppressive monopolies. But what

For strange bedfellows the palm must

buzz-buzz of tho *ix rattles that grace
the tail of a three-foot rattlesnake.
It was a negro porter at the Kimball
who discovered Dial's strange pet, and
from all reports he Is running yet.
The negro had gone to Dial’s room
at 8 o'clock Wednt;sday morning with a
pitcher of lco water, which had been
ordered the night before. Receiving
no answer to his knocks-on tho door,
the negro entered, nnd tip-toeing to a
table Deside the bed, deposited the
water. As he started to leave, his foot
steps wore halted by a deep "w-h-l-r-r
—w-h-i-r-r.” He turned to see pro
truding from a box at the stooping oc
cupant of the room's left shoulder a
flat head with beady eyes, which moved
gracefully from right to left, and from
the mouth of-which darted swiftly a
forked tongue.
What de debel,” exclaimed the star
tled negro, and tho next mlnuto he was
smashing all records as he'sped from
the door and down the corridor. Since
then he has not been seen.
A half hour later Dial had arisen and
was enjoying his breakfast while his

box which had been placed under his
owner's chair in the dining room.
“Talk about burglar alarms,” Dial
said, “Mike,” for that Is the rattler's

FEARS OF BEATTIE
Death Watch Guard Has Been
Increased Around Young
Wife Murderer.
Richmond, V*., Nov. 22,—The death
guard ha* been Increased around Henry
Clay Beattie, Jr., and from today until
he goes to the electric chair on Friday
morning to pay the Anal penalty for
the murder of his wife, his every move
ment will be watched day and night to
prevent an attempt to commit suicide.
Beattie has abandoned all hope of In
tervention, and Is prepared to die, ac
cording to the prisoners and his spirit
ual adviser, but the prison officials are
guarding against a last attempt
thwart justice by self-destruction.
In the face of the statements of the
two ministers who are attending him in
the dep.th cell, that he ha* made peace
with God- and 1* ready to face hla doom
as a Christian, stands forth (he fact
that never once has Beattfe asked to
see his baby, Henry Clay Beattie III,
the Infant of the wife he shot to death.
He has shown an Indifference amount
ing almost to aversion when tho child
has been mentioned by his spiritual ad
visers and the prison attendants. It is
said. The child Is now with its ma
ternal grandparents, at Dover, Del.
Beattie will never see the Instrument
of his death or know the Identity of
those who looked on while he rendered
up the law's tribute of a life for a life.
Under the Virginia law, the head of a
murderer Is covered with a black silk
cap before he leaves his cell to,march
to execution, and when Beattie, guided
by his guards and escorted by a clergy
man, takes the short final walk that
leads him to the death chamber shortly
after sunrise on Friday, his head w ill be
covered.
The young prisoner has divided his
few personal effects, clothing and trin
kets he had when brought to the Jail
among the prison attendants who have
shown him kindness, and has written
his farewell to his chum, Billy Samp
son, pointing out to him from his own
case, that "the wages of sin is death.”

The most Important action was to
tak# advanced ground for oompulpnry
education In every state of tho Union;
to ask the various legislatures to pass
laws furnishing free books for all

Industrial education and its exten

special committee on industrial edu
cation was continued to report at the
1912 convention.
Congressman W. B. Wilson, chair
man of the committee on president's
report, indicated that this report, which
Is set as a special order for Thursday
morning at 9:15 o'clock, will bo of
vital importance and will be the last
word on labor’s demands in congress
and throughout tho world.
This commlttoo is tho body that
shapes tho policy of the American Fed -
oration of Labor, basing its conclusions
on the great national and international
questions discussed by President Sam
uel Gompers in Ills annual address. On
all questions of policy tho committee
recommends the lines to be pursued by
tho American Federation of Labor for
tho next twelve months.
It is said Its most important conclu

Tho Seamen's union at Boston sent

Chairman James Duncan sent in an

On account of some delay in arriving
