Long Story.
Boaom fricndi for IS year*. play-
nutn, confldaala. sharing ihelr Joya
and sorrow*, and helping each other In
curing polltlral preferment at the
hnnda of their people, W. J. Flanders,
r-presentatlvo from Johnson county, a
dentist and farmer Methodist minister,
and Judge A. F. Daley, formerly of
tli atate superior court, and now pres
ident of the Wrlghtsvllle and Tennllle
i llroed, are today bitter enemies.
The sensational Incident In the house
Monday, when Mr. Flanders asked Oar-
n.tt Qullllan to leave the chamber,
was one of the many startling happen
ings that have grown out of the feud
l" tween Judge Daley and the gentle
men from Johnson, who first disagreed
ten years ago, when, Mr. Flanders
nalme, he won a suit la court, with
Judge Daley as the opposing council.
According to Mr. Flanders, a love af
fair between Miss Pauline Daley, Judge
Daley's daughter, and an Atlanta man,
i:iU Humphries, years ago, was really
first cause of the trouble, which
had been only suggested by the trial
mentioned.
Mr. Flanders gave to The Georgian
a complete history of the trouble be
tween himself and the Daley faction,
according to which Judge Daley’s
•laughter was receiving attention from
Mr. Humphries, when Tt became noised
through Wrlghtsvllle, a small city, that
the Atlanta lover was already a bene
dict. On his next visit to Wrlghtsvllle
Humphries was question by the Judge,
who, whatever the reply, forbade any
further attentions
Mr. Flanders was at this time post
master of Wrlghtsvllle and aaya he was
requested by Judge Daley to let him
It now If his daughter attempted to
write to Mr. Humphries. He states
Hint a private box was rented In the
poatofllce by Miss Daley, and that the
.tuilge was Informed of the fart, though
Mr. Flanders claims he asked tlint the
young lady not be told that he had In
formed her father of her secret cor
respondence.
A fear days later Miss Daley met
tlm postmaster on the street, and so he
mid Tuesday morning, gave him n
tongue-lashing. Her mother became
clltaant, and.Mr Flanders relates that
at tha letters did not stop going to the
Atlanta lover, Judge Daley, on learning
of It, supposed that hie friend had gone
hack on him, and he, too, became oool
In his manner toward Mr. Flanders.
From this followed many Incidents
hy reason of which the hatred of these
man grew In Intensity, until two years
later. In a quarterly conference, Rev.
A F. Morgan, who was the pastor of
the Wrlghtsvllle church, refused to
pass the charder of Mr. Flanders, Aha
reason assigned, according to Mr.
Flanders, being that the latter had ex
pressed the opinion that he was glad
every time the sun went down, aa It
meant one day less that he had to
spend with him (Morgnn) ns a pastor.
Judge Daley was chairman of tha
hoard of stewards of the church at ths

plicated In the attempt to Injure his
reputation. W. F. Qullllan was the
secretory of tha conference. It le
claimed by Mr. Flanders that seorst
se.none were held by these men In an
attempt to get him out of the church,
and that tha records of the conference
w ere forged, for later, when the matter
was taken to the annual conference, ha
elalms there was another record of the
meeting, while W. F. Qullllan admitted
Hint the correct one was at hla home.
As n result of this fight In the church,
Mr. Flanders aaya ha and Judge Daley
w ere not on speaking terms. They
had an agreement that they were to
take different sides of the street In go
ing to their offices, and Judge Daley
w as not to pass the house of the repre

Whfellsy Spsskt.
When Senator Wheatley's lleuten
ant-governor Mil came up as tha ape
dal'order the able young elatesman
from the Thirteenth made a very
strong argument for Its passage.
' He iMilnted out the large number of
elates that have provided for lieuten
ant-governors, and how Georgia la lag
ging behind In thla matter. Senator
Wheatley was given dose attention
during his speech.
Miller Opposes It.
Senator B. 8. Miller opposed the bill.

lieutenant-governor would begin build
ing up a machine to place himself In
the gubernatorial chair.
"Governors don't die In Georgia," ha
thundered.
■■Has Senator Miller forgotten the
days of Alexander Stephens?"

Ex-Governor Candler, In speaking of

incidentally mentioned that the British
government gave him, without heslta
tlon, permission to have made copies of
alt records and documents relating to
Georgia now in the public records of
fices In London, while th* United 8tates
authorities refused to allow him, or the
roster commission, to make copies, at
the state's expense, of the muster rolls
of the Georgia regiments engaged In
the war between the states now In
the war office tn Washington.
Even the governor made to tbe sec
retary of war nn official appeal for
coplea of th* roll* of forty-five organi

Informed that he could secure them
only by depositing In advance with the

to copy the rolls tn the capital.
When asked why the British gov
ernment hoe been so much more liberal
with the state than that of the United
States, he said:
"Heaven* only knows. It would seem
that the United 8tates, which was the

GRADY MEDICAL BOARD
MEETS TUESDAY NIGHT
The question of whether th* nurse*
of th* Grady Hospital will be required
to serve six months extra time as a
penalty for their rebellion In 1205 will
be determined at the regular monthly
meeting of the medical board to be held
Tuesday night at the hospital.
What will be done by the board la
merely a matter of speculation. The
Impression prevails, howsvar, that tha
hiurses will be relieved of tbe extra
service.
The nurses are adverse to this extra
service, and feel that they should be
granted their diplomas. At the time
the nurse* struck and refused to serve
under Mia* McGroarty, then superin
tendent of nurses, the medical board
Imposed six months’ extra service aa a
penalty. The board will decide Tues
day night whether to enforce thla pen-'
•lty.
