J. D. (*JIM”). PRICE, Of Ocones, Commissioner Of Agriculture.
Atlaita, Ga.—Commissioner of Ag-|
riculture J. D. Price, replying to &
letter addressed to him by T. H. 1-:1};::-[
brough of Cataula, Ga., containing a
number of questions with' reference
to his administration, shows the ut
ter falsity of charges uttered against
him by his opponent, J. J. Brown, and
concludes with a statement showing
that Brown has, at every opportunily,l
done the very things of which he now
so loudly complains.. '
Commigsioner Price has been in of
fice only three years and two month:,
beginning July 1, 1913, and not six
years, as has been stated. His pre-‘
decessor in the office was J, J. Con
ner, with J. J. Brown zis»'assimam.l
They served from May 1, 1912, Lol
July 1, 19153, only 14 months, and not'
two years. |
“On October 1, 1912, Conner zmd‘
Brown appointed the same number m‘i
fertilizer, food and other inspoctmr.l
that I appoinied October 1, 1914, and
these appointecs of Conner and L’r()wn.‘
served under me from July 1, 1913,
to Cctober 1, 1514, a period of fitteen
months,” Commissioner Price smlcs.‘
What They Spent ‘ |
“Puring thai time I cculd ‘n‘dt“nml\‘("%
a single appeintment, and thesé ap
pointees of Conner and Brown, dur-|
ing the nine months from January I,}
to October 1, 1914, which is that part
of their service covered in the audi
tor’s report, expended $11,242.99 of the
$32,120.83, for travel, hotel bills, sam
ples, bottles and expressage. Brown
is making a great to do about these
expenses, and I-merely wish the public
to know that his own and Conner’s
appointees spent their full share of it.
“I appointed the successors to these
men and in every case the appoint
ment was made in precise requirement
with law. The expenses of these T 4
men, aggregating $32,120.83 for two
years, and requiredl by law, averaged
only $18.09 per month per man. With
out these expenses the laws of "the
state could not be carried out. lur-.
ther, the records of this office show
the cost of analyzing fertilizers under
Conner and Brown was $2.88 per sai
ple, whereas, under my fivst adminis
tration, it was only $2.40, a clear sav
ing to the state of 48 cents per-sam-|
ple. ‘
“My own personal cxpenses for Lwn‘
years were only $1,163, 1 spent inl
two. years only $43.75 In railroad i'zma‘i
between Athens and Atlanta, for the
purpose -of aitending étgrif;uilu:'zz!}
meetings there and in that section of
the state. Im ™i4 and 1915, this de ,
partment, under''me, turned inio the
state treasury approximately $300,006
over and above all expenscs: These
funds arve handled direcily by the slate
treasurer and paid out by him on|

Beat Brown By 45,0€0
“Now as to Brown, whom I beat by
45,000 votes in the primary of 1914:
I am reliably informed by f{riends that
men are now going over the state of
fering oil and feriilizer inspectors’ jobs
to those who will,carry this or that
county for-himyoaléhough. he. knrows
he ¢ould not, if elected, make a single
appointment for a period of two years,
as I will make all the appointments
on QOctober 1 next for terms of two
years, The same J, J. Brown, who
talks about ‘political machine,, was
at the Macon convention in 1912, with
IJ' J. Conner, and they were offering
these appointments to get convention
‘1.'0195 against me, -
A reliably informed that this
same Diuwi wio, it is said, has not
".'::2'1110(1 in twenty years, but whe has
i‘;;cen a traveljng fertilizer salesman
| a large part of the time, is Dow
] strongly supported by some of the fer
tilizer interests.
| ‘What Brown Charges To The State
) “Further, I want to call especial at
tention {o the ilemized expense ac
'(:cuni of J..J. Brown, now on.file in
the governor’s office, under his ap
' poiniment by Governor John M. Sla
’ ion two years ago as inzpector in case
| of the damags done to the farmers of
North Georgia by the Tennessee Cop
| per Co. His expense account from
June 10 to August 10, this year, a pe
l rlod of two months, was $188.24. Be
sides he received a salary of -$250 to
administer the state’'s affairs at Cop
per Hill. . If the 74 men in this de
nartment .had rendered an expense ae
count in the same proportion as J. J.
Rrown’s, it would have aggregated the
enormous sum of $167,157.12, instead
of the $32,120:33 as shown in the aud
itol’s report. At the same time he
wae heen receiving this money, he has
been (raveling about over the state
falsifying me and my record ‘as com
migssioner of agriculture; and each
item is charged up by him not by mile
age, but at full ticket rates.
“The recerd in the governor’s office
for 1914 and 1915 shows .there were
1,128 claims from Georgia farmers
against the Tennressce Copper Co. in
which the arbitrators could not agree.
J. J. Brown as umpire decided 677
of these against the Georgia farmers
divided the claim between the compa
ny and the farmer 320 times and found
in favor.of ilie farmers only 131 times.
I present this as a matter of recora
which cannot be disputea.”
