Joseph E. browu, unyy Georgia Governor
Who Served Four Lonsecutive Tiumes
By GUS BERND, Historical Assistant,
Office of Secretary of Stae
In 1857 the news was brougut to a young Geor
gia judge on his Cheroxee councy arm near Lad=
ton that the Desnecratic State Convelnuon at =
leageville had nominated hun 1o run ior Guveiuul
against Benjamin H. hul. Litue @a e peopie vl
Georgia know tnen aoout tne UnUSUAL leciucrs
juoge who was to geieat the greal riul and vecule
their War Governor and 1n adwuon e ovuy
Georgia Governor to serve iour consecuuve ieiius
4n office. This man who was to aitect the destiny of
people of the State for several decades — turougn
secession, war, reconstruction, and renaoviuwiavd
into a “New South” was Josepn lnrerson brown
of whom fiery Bopb Toombs asked without surprise
in 1857 “Who is Joe Brown?” A few years ia.€r,
after his decisive triumph over the eloquent ben
Hill and during his bitter controversies with toe
administration of Jeiferson Davis, the name Joe
Brown not only meant much in Georgia but rocged
the entire Confederacy.
It might be said with considerable accuracy that
Joseph E. Brown was Georgia’s last frontier states=-
man. He was a man of the people in their own way,
a man of complete simplicity believing in the ut
most democracy. Born in Pickens county, South
Carolina, in 1821, Joseph E., Brown was the oldest
of eleven children. Of a poor family, he had to
make his own way. While Joe Brown was a youin,
his family moved across the mountains to Union
county, Georgia, and settled in a valley called Gad
distown. Still unfamiliar with real education at
the age of 19, his father let him go on his own 10
seek learning. Presenting a yoke of steers as pay
ment for eight months bdard, young Brown began
working his way through a South Carolina Acad
emy. Unable to finish school due to lack of funds,
he returned to Georgia and later opened a school
_ of his own in Cherokee county. He taught scihool
gby day and studied law by night and soon puiled
himself out of debt. He later attended and grad
uated from the Yale Law School. Joseph E, Brown
was admitted to the bar in 1845 and was a Super=-
jor Court judge of the Cherokee Circuit when
called to the political hustings by Georgia Demo=
crats in 1857,
Out of the rugged frontier up-country, Joseph E.
Brown was never involved in slavery, and was a
staunch believer in human freedom. He fought
steadfastly for Southern independence until the
end of the Confederacy. During the War Between
the States, as Georgia’s governor, he acted inde
pendently of the Confederate Government when=
ever possible and was perhaps the bitterest and
foremost critic of President Jefierson Davis. When
Sherman’s army overran Milledgeville on the
March to the Sea and Macon served temporarily as
the seat of Georgia’s government, Governor-Brown
addressed the final General Assemrbly of the war
in Macow’s old ecity hall. He also advocated that
Geosgia secede from the Confederacy as she had
done from the Union,
Joseph E. Brown had been fiery and early for
secession in having Fort Pulaski near Savannah
seized in January, 1861, even before the State left
the Union. When the war was over and the Con
federacy and slavery both lost causes, Brown was
quickly and as ardently for immediate reconcila
tion and recogpition of the political results of the
war including legal and voting nguis for the
Negroes. At first he stood almost alone ior tuese
things among prominent ex-Conlederates in the
State. This cost him his popularity in Georgia ior
several “years, However, the wisdom of his concil
iatory course was later apparent. In 1860, he was
appointed by Governor Alired Holt Colquitt, a
glose friend, to {fill the vacancy in the united
States Senate occasioned by the resignauon of
Senotor John B. Gordon, The alignment in Georgia
politics of these three friends was known as lne
Gordon-Celguitt-Brown “Iriumvirate” and ruled
Georgia from the restoration of native rule follow
ing the war until the period of Populism which
came in the ’'nineties, Brown was later eiecied by
the legislature and remained in the Senate until
1891 at which time he retired to devote his time 10
business enterprises in Georgia. He became asso
ciated with Big Business in the State on a vast
scale,
Joseph E. Brown was instrumental in the devel«
opment of the Western & Atlantic Railroad and
was a trustee and financial benefactor of the Uni
versity of Georgia, He was a Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Georgia during Reconstruction.

Battle Against Heart Disease
Naeds Reinforcement
Heart disease is the nation’s greatest killer. It
takes a heavier toll of human life than the next
five leading causes of death combined,
In 1947, the last year for which complete figures
are available, more than 625,000 persons died of
heart and blood vessel ailments. This was three
times as high as the death rate from the dreaded
cancer. Nearly half of all deaths among persons
over 45 were due to heart disease. And doctors es
timate there are today at least 10,000,000 Ameri=-
cans disabled to some degree by cardiac troubles.
Heart disease strikes young and old alike, For
instance, rheumatic heart disease is the leading
cause of death (aside from accidents) among chil
dren from five to 19. And Dr. Leonard Scheele, U.
S. surgeon general, predicts that these ailments
will exact an even greater toll as the average age
of our population mounts,
About 90 percent of all cases are the result of
the disease’s three principal forms: rheumatic,
coronary and hypertensive. Yet the true causes of
these death-dealing afflictions are still largely un
known,
The economic price of this physical damage in
terms of loss of life, disability, loss of gainful em
ployment, job absenteeism, and remedial programs
is tremendous. The cost in human happiness is in
calculable.
This great cost must be reduced. It can only be
lessened by learning much more than we now un
derstand about the causes, prevention and cure of
heart and circulatory ailments. According to Dr.
Scheele, the doctors’ present weapons in this war
are feeble when set against the enemy’s strength.
Our present plight, he says, is the result of past
neglect. But even today funds and facilities for
heart research lag far behind pressing demands.
The National Heart Institute, created by Con
gress to guide and foster research and control
activities, has received requests for grants totaling
some $36,000,000. ‘But this exceeds by almost 50
percent the current appropriation to the U. S.
Public Health Service for medical research in ALL
fields. 3 ‘
Thus funlls raised by private voluntary agencies
like the American Heart Association give heart
research a badly needed boost. This year the or
ganization is seeking $6,000,000 in its month-long
February drive which has its peak in the current
American Heart Week, The mcney is intended not
only for research but for education and community
services designed to draw medical, nursing and
welfare activities into integrated heart programs.
With so many worthy causes crying for funds,
the competition for your gift dollar these days is
keen. But it goes without saying that no money
you donate to bettering the nation’s health will be
more wisely directed than that you contribute to
combat heart disease.
Need Action on Education
We've had another warning ‘rom Earl J. Mec-
Grath, U. S. commissionei of education, that our
education is in a critical state and getting no bet
ter. '
With school population way up and still climb
ing, the nation has abcut 25 percent less elemen=-
tary school teachers than it did in 1941. High
schools are somewhat better off but are treading
on thin ice, many teachers barely meeting profes
sional standards.
The Office of Education and the National Edu
cation Association agree that to replace dilapidated,
obsolete school buildings and add the new ones
needed to accommodate rising enrollments during
the next decade will take about $10,000,000,000.
There are other problems, but these go to the
heart of the crisis.
Congress has been kicking the aid to education
issue around for some time now. And most of the
proposals it has considered deal only with school
operating expense and teachers’ salaries, Very few
attempt to grapple with. the mounting backlog of
vital school construction.
Election year or not, the lawmakers should
plunge into this matter promptly., The nation‘s
children can't await their pleasure, They're grow=
ing up and they’ll advance toward maturity with=
out an adequate education—in millions of cases—
unless Congress does something about it.
The only question still open is whether thegOC~
cupation powers are prepared to sacrifice their
strategic outposts in East and West Germany for
the sake of peace. And this is the question which
all peoples who desire peace are now asking the
great powers,—Rev, Martin Niemoller, outspoken
foe of Adolph Hitler in Nazi Gernrany.
You can’t occupy it (Formosa) with a few tour
ists, two or three senators who went over there
and would go into holes at the first shot.—Chair=
man Tom Connally of Senate Forelgn Relations
Committee.
If private capital has only the wish and not the
will to keep government out, the financial status
of our academic institutions will deteriorate to
such a point that money must come {from any
source available, — John 8. Mills, president of
Western Reserve University.
