PAGE SIX BROWN SAYS HAT NOT IN ARENA J. J. Brown, commissioner of agriculture, is not a candidate for the governorship. This is emphat ically stated in letters which Mr. Brown has addressed to President J. Howard Ennis, of the senate, and Speaker W. Cecil Neill, of the house and which he has asked them to have read, if possible, before both houses this afternoon. Mr. Brown states in his letter:; that they are called forth by an edi torial which appeared in the Macon Telegraph of July 27 which said that the commissioner claimed “to conljroj the legislature,;” and which also, he said, had “dis torted” his expression to make it. appear that he is a candidate for the governorship. “For this,” says the commission er, “there is not the slightest foundation,” and the charge that he “claims to control the legisla ture,” he brands as “wholly false,” and “a repetition of the unjust at tacks that paper has been making on me for th<* purpose of trying to influence the legislature against the agricultural department.” JACKSON PEACHES AFFECTED BY DROUGHT JACKSON, July 25.—The her.y peach season in and around Jack son has come to a dose and the ship ment of peach's that were shipped in carload will be shipped in trucks as there is not enough for carloads. The slump so early in the shipping and packing business is largely due lo the prolonged drought that has greatly affected the peach crop. It would be easier to quit smok i ing if the men who don’t smoke would look more comfortable. Nothing can make a loafer more I energetic than there being some I show’ girls in towm.

To unimportant ques tions 1 replied readily but when queries became more pertinent, I refuse to answer,’ I said. “ ‘On what ground?’ asked the commissioners, surprised at being defied. I “ ‘l’ve settled for my part in the I Uitlanders’ revolt in the Transvaal,’ I I explained, ‘and for the rest, I’m i an American citizens, not. a citizen |of yours, simply passing through ' Cape territory, on my way from one j friendly country to another, and ; you’ve no right to stop and inter- ■ rogate me like this.’ Congratulated for Stand I “The commissioners conferred for | an hour and then dropped the exam- ■ ination. Before I sailed they gave me a luncheon and congratulated me on my stand. ‘But how,’ asked one, ‘did you happen to think of that particular point in internation al law? It’s quite new to me.’ “ ‘To me, too,’ I rejoined. ‘ in vented it. You know what necessi ty’s the mother of. “‘You’d better remember it,’ the commissioner advised.' ‘You may need it again some time.’ “Well, the Uitlanders’ blow for freedom failed in 1895-6 but in 1899 came the Boer war. That time the Transvaal Republic’s independ ence passed and the British flag flew over the Union of South Afri ca. It happened I was in London as peace was being discussed. A con ference of British colonial states men was in progress there, too. ! Use T. R.

He. gave a dinner in my honor and at that dinner I had a chance to do a good turn for my old acquaintances of the Transvaal. “As I was starting, ‘Why don’t you take this opportunity,’ Joe Cho ate, our ambassador, suggested to me, ‘to advise this party of Britons Watch your engine respond to I A -v I ■ DiliA/m IF If GASOLINE Always Better k ' POLARINE OILS & GREASES It pays to standardize on POLARINE.

You’ve often told me that you admire the fighting Boer—that it’s only the Kruger type of poli tician you dislike. You may be abl-i to do a great service for your friends now. Why don’t you, in your speech, recall the lesson of Grant’s clemency at Appomatox, of the extent to which its good effect? were undone later by carpetbagging politicians and o fall it cost? Em phasize the importance to Britain o favoiding such mistakes in this case.’ Applauded by Beresford “I did it. “ ’The Boers,’ I reminded the 1 guests, ‘will be your neighbors. The j time will come when they’ll outvote you. You must live among them. Yoit want to live on good terms.’ I “‘Hear! Hear!’ shouted Admired | Lord Charles Beresford. He was I the first one to oncourage me. I d been a little uncertain of my ground, but applause from a man like Beresford made me feel more confident. “ ‘Then you mustn’t treat them like a conquered people,’ 1 urged, ‘but as fello weitizens.’ “I went the limit then. “ ‘Sooner or later,’ I insisted, ‘you’ll have to give them equality with yourselves. Don’t let it be lat er. Do it now.’ ” Tomorrow: John Hays Hammond tells of kaiser’s dream of power.

He wears his simply-cut, unadorned, military blouses as if they had been made by a Fifth Avenue tailor. “No man can look like that.” an American woman said to her hu - band after she has seen Trotsky in Moscow, “unless he is turned out by a valet.” I investigated, and found '..hr. t Trotsky has a personal servant, who looks after his clothes. Evon the proletarian conscience of the Com munist party doesn’t grudge Trotsky that. Trotsky makes up his mind quickly, and insists that his decisions WED.YESDAY Al TERNpON,..

Most of the other Communist leaders, if one is I to judge Ly the confusion that pre vails m their office:, order some thing done, ami then forget about it. Trotsky’ seems that it is done. So does Felix Dzerjinski. He is a Pole, and wears his real name. In the czar’s time he spent many years in exile and in prison. When Lenin appointed him hea dos the “Cheka,” and told him to stamp out counter revolution, he stamped out counter revolution. Dzerjinski’s “Cheka” is credited with the slaying of tens of thou sands, but the man himself looks as if he wouldn’t harm a fly. He is |R AISIN BREAD Can Be I lad Today.

But the ver.', mention of his name throws a shock of fear into enemn s of the Bolshevik regime, .and, also, into Communists themselves who are slack in their work in his depart ment. When he was appointed, head of the Supreme Economic Council he also was permitted to keep his post as head of the “Cheka.” He used tfie latter to keep check on the for mer, and sent scores of grafters to the firing squad, prison and exile.
