F. L. Pendergrass. 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. A Loving Grandfather, G. W. Kooks.
