After the Smoke Has Cleared Away.
Sam Wilkes in Atlanta Constitution.
Now that the smoke has cleared
from the field of the late political
battle in Georgia, and the feverish
excitement of opposing hosts is giv
ing place to a steadier pulse, and
victors and vanquished alike are
turning from the excitement of the
conflict and will soon be busily en
gaged hand in hand and heart to
heart in building up the vast inter
est of our state, I trust you will al
low me space for some reminiscence
of the man who has recently played
so unique and vet so powerful a
part in the history of this state, as
has our newly elected governor,
Hon. Joseph M. Brown.
The fortunes of war brought me
to Atlanta from South Carolina in j
the sixties as a little boy. Among
the first acquaintances 1 made here
was Joe Brown. We attended the
same Sunday school and the same
day school, and he was the helhved
companion of us all in both schools
—he was easily the leader of his
class and always knew his lessons;
he was ever ready to impart infor
motion of the lesson to his com
panions before the class was called
and thus help them over trouble
some places; he entered into all
sports upon the playground with
alacrity; he was a fair opponent 1
and a steady comrade in all the
games; he was a gentleman then,
for no vulgar, profane nor dirty
word ever escaped his lips, but
then as now, he was full of an in
finite humor all his own, and he
tells a joke as no one does.
It was no surprise to his school
mates that he became a lawyer of
profound research and was compli
mented when admitted to the bar,
nor were we surprised that his pol
ished pen, both in prose and poetry,
attracted the favorable attention of
such men as Father Ryan and Hen
ry \Y. Longfellow, I recall the mod
est pleasure with which he would
read me letters from Mr. Longfellow
complimenting his literary work,
and a strong personal friendship
sprang up between them,and I
think Mr. Brown visited Mr- Long
fellow at his home. .
Mr. Brown has contributed much
to literature; his natural refinement
gave to his writings a clean and
beautiful finish so appreciated by a
litterateur, lie is a thorough (!reek
and Latin scholar and enjoys them
both.
Having been his roommate for a
long time in days of- our younger
manhood, 1 perhaps know better
than any one the real man he is.
Then, as now, he was tome a prod
igy of morality; he was a student of
the Bible and was never remiss in
his daily devotions. We had in
boyhood joined the church at the
same time, were baptized the same
evening, and, however remiss I have
been in my life as a Christian, lean
recall no act of his inconsistent with
his profession of religion. Asa
companion he was charming to a
degree and his wit and humor was
delightful.
When 1 was married lu- was my |
r j
Liest man. 1 introduced him to his
wife and he has made the good,
husband and father 1 knew lie
would, for as a son be honored his;
father and mother and was affec- j
dinnate to them..
Rut what is more remarkable j
a Unit him is his wonderful memo- j
ry- He seldom forgets a fact or i
figure. Being in the same avocation, j
the railroad business, I sew his ev
olution from a clerk at small salary
to traffic manager of the Western
and Atlantic road- This was in
days when great combinations by
the lines had not been made in the
south and Mr. Brown fought such
men in the passenger traffic as the
brilliant B. W. Wenn and in freight
traffic the late Joseph l*. Ogden, of
the old East Tennessee, Virginia
land Georgia railroad. Competition
! between these lines was terriffic and
; Mr. Brown maintained himself
against them to the satisfaction of
| that great railroad man, General
William Mcßae, then general man
ager af the State road (General Mc-
Rae had no favorites in business).
Particularly in those days did Mr.
Brown exemplify the manhood that
is his by being the considerate, yet
a positive disciplinarian; the men
appreciated him and were glad to
do bis bidding, and the esprit de
corps of the Western and Atlantic
at that time was perfect.
He was known then among
the men as “Little Joe.” They all
loved him and often was it that he
was the mediator between some poor
fellow in trouble and the general
manager or president, and he car-
ries to this day many a man’s trou
bles looked in his loyal bosom.
When he was first appointed
railroad commissioner the estimate
then put upon his ability by some
of our most prominent men was
the correct one. He knows the
railroad business in detail and is
probably the best informed rate ex
pert running back in this country’s
traffic that there is living, except
ing perhaps Mr. J. M. Gulp, of the
Southern railway, and Sol Haas,
retired. He is thoroughly consci
entious and inflexible in his con
victions and duty has ever been his
watchword.
He is so versatile that one has to
know him thoroughly to appreciate
him. His courage is fine and
steady. His sympathy and charity
are as broad as tho light. That he
is elected governor is no surprise
to me: that he became a candidate
wijis a great surprise to me, for he
has never played the game of pol
ities, hut when he entered it he
played with his usual superior
ability, clean hands, clear head
and noble heart . No one who really
knows him doubts that he wrote
himself his published letters of his
campaign any more than they doubt
that those letters and the magnifi
cent patriotism, clearness and
cleanness of them did more to elect
him than any one thing.
It will he like him to l>e as mag
nanimous in victory as his conduct
would have been superb in defeat,
and if lie lives Georgians will see
that he is appreciative, hut inflexi
ble from the path of right and
duty, and his wisdom will iastonish
even his enemies aid claim their
admiration.
Death of Lula Dowdy.
Lula Dowdy, aged fourteen, died
May R, IBO.S, in the arms of Jesus,
praying to her (iod to take her
home. She knew every one till the
last and said to her mother, “If f
give up will you grieve?” and her
mother replying that she would try
not to grieve, Lula held up her
little arms and said, “Oh, Lord,
take me home,” and with a prayer
she lay down to rest.
Little Lula met death with a
happy smile, and asked her friends
and loved ones to meet her in
heaven, whence she was going to
join those who had gone before.
There never was a sweeter death
than her’s. It was all like a dream
to her and today she is in heaven
with her blessed Lord and angel
brother.
