ATLANTA, GA., April 13.—(Spe
cial)—The Joe Brown Club of Elizar
beth, a Cobb county town, has Issued
the following card In reply to one
recently published from J. E. Moze-
iey:
“To the Public:
"Some days ago an article appear
ed In the Atlanta Journal, signed by
J. E. Moseley, of this place, attacking
the business qualifications of Hon.
Joseph M. Brown. No one here be
lieved that Mr. Moseley wrote the
article. In fact the rumor Is persist
ent and apparently well founded that
it was written in Atlanta, but It Is
conceded that he signed it
“He insists that he Is Mr. Brown’s
friend. Who believes it?
Friend? Yes, the friend who whis
pers soft words In your ear while he
stabs you In the back.
“Now let us see about those four
positions from which Mr. Moseley
says Mr. Brown was discharged for
Incompetency.
“The first position mentioned was
passenger agent of the W. & A. R. R.
Governor Joseph E. Brown was pres
ident of the company that leased this
road from the State, and he was
known as an excellent business man.
His son, Joseph M. Brown, entered
the -service of the company as a
freight clerk and as a result of hard
work and the manifestation of busi
ness capacity was gradually promot
ed until he was put In chargo of the
trafllc department, holding the posi
tion for years, and during that period
the road was on better terms with
the public, and gave It better and
more convenient accommodations than
at any other time In its hlBtory.
After the N. C. & SL L leased the
property, it filled the positions with
Its own employes. Just as to usuhlly
done when a road changes hand.
Joseph E. Brown never employed
incompetent men.
"As to the Seaboard. It Is well
known that It has been In financial
straits from the beginning. Its career
has been a continuous- succession of
kaleidoscopic changes. If all of
those who have lost out with the Sea
board vote for Mr. Brown he will be
assured of a support respectable both
In size and business character.
“The estate that it is claimed Mr.
Brown has dissipated It situated prin
cipally in Atlanta. Joseph M. Brown
and Julius Brown were Joint execu
tors. Julius lives In Atlanta, and
we are Informed had the principal
management of the estate. The suit
in question did not result In any one
being discharged, as we remember,
but was settled out of court to the
satisfaction of all concerned. And
instead of being dissipated, the es
tate is now valued at several hund
red thousand dollars.
"The other position from which
Mozeley says Mr. Brown was dis
charged for incompetency was that
of railroad commissioner. But was
that the cause? Governor Smith says
not. He says It was because Mr.
Brown wrote him a letter which he
did not open. It is a question of
veracity between Mr. Mozeley and
Governor Smith.
“We believe, and the public be
lieves, that he lost that Job because
he had backbone enough to do his
duty, and the trend of events has
vindicated his attitude and business
S "The^most surprising thing about Mr.
Mozeley's article is the statement that
he, Mozeley, does not -want office.
This Is Indeed a revelation. We have
known him many years, and thlB Is
the first time he has been In that
state of mind. Only two years ago
he was defeated for the present State
Senate.’’

ANTI-TOXIN GIVEN
FREE IN THE STATE
The state board of health through
Dr. H. F. Harris, will', ,on May 15th,
begin the manufacture or anti-toxin
for free distribution to diphtheria pa
tients In the state. No scientific de
parture of greate.r moment has been
mado in years In Georgia.
The legislature at its last session
appropriated a fund for this purpose.
As enough anti-toxin for a patient
costs approximately *10, the free dis
tribution of this cure means much to
the poorer classes of the. state. Geor
gia will be one of the few states that
have such a free,distribution.
The anti-toxin Is now recognized
by physicians as an almost Infallible
cure for diptheria, one of the most
terrible of children’s diseases. Since
Its discovery and use, the percentage
of mortality has been largely dimln-
lshed.
Anti-toxin Is made from the serum
of a horse, and Its manufacture Is
extremely Interesting.
