Savannah has a Law and Order
League. We know of no city in the
state where such an organization can
find more Work to do.
‘'Civil law Is enforced by the pow
er oT public opinion,” says Secretary
Root Evidently there is not much
power of public opinion behind the
prohibition law In Savannah.
It Is the duty of every citizen of
Aiiierifu* to lend a helping hand to
every movement intended to promote
the interests of the city, to assist with
his voice and with his money the
plans that are laid for Its material
development.
Never before has there been such
an opportunity offered to our men
to unite together for the building up
of the city as is now presented to
them in the reorganization of the
Board of Trade work along the lines
that have proved so successful In
other cities.
The Board of Trade can be made
a factor of tremendous power In the
industrial and general business pro
gress of Americus. It provides the
proper machinery for the advertising
of the city, for the presentation of
its claims. To do this it must have
a large and united and enthusiastic
membership, and the income that re
sults from their contributions. A
fee of *5 a year is but nominal tax
on any one. There Is probably not
a man in the city who could not
afford to give 10 cents a week, 31.23
every three months, to assist in a
work of such vast importance as
this. While the amount obtained
from each Individual is small, if
several hundred unite with the or
ganization the total income will be
adequate for all purposes and a stim
ulus will be given to Americus that
will be far reaching in its effects.
The canvass for members is now
You should cheerfully sign the
roll and become allied with the Board
of Trade. Do not be a nonentity in
the community. Put your hand
the work that is before us all and
give it the boost that It needs,
is an individual responsibility
rests on you. Do not shirk it.

The Rome Tribune-Herald
made a grave charge:
"In his speech Smith said he would

S *ln common fairness the Tribune-
Herald should substantiate Its state
ment. We call for chapter and verse.
Otherwise it stands convicted of the
•‘wilful diffusion of political error with
regard to matters of fact.”—Atlanta
Journal, April 25th.
To read this effusion of the Atlanta
Journal, the casual observer would
think that it might be a little difficult
to substantiate the charge. While
we hold no brief for the Rome Tri-
bune-Herald, which is amply able to
take care of itself, the opportunity,
is too good to let pass to puncture
another one of Hoke Smith’s balloons
which the Journal has been sending
up.
Smith and Brown are candidates in
-Georgia, and Johnson is trying hard
to get the democratic nomination for
president. Now where will Jones
come in?—Augusta Herald.
Oh, Jones, ‘‘He pays the freight.”
Judge Hines is so far the only
state officer who is stumping the
state to help the Governor. The
others seem to think that they are
paid by the people to attend to their
-official duties.

•to get flustered over the state cam

the same old stand no matter whether

When Dr. Nunnally announced for

to the rescue of Its candidate, the

NO CHANGE IN PRIMARY PLAN
No change In the method of hold
ing the state primary was made by
the Democratic Executive Committee
at Its meeting in Atlanta Friday. The
majority vote plan adopted at the
last state convention was not tam
pered with, nor was the date o f the
primary changed from June 4.
had been rumored that these two sub
jects would be up and that changes
in each might be made.
Had the modifications suggested
been made, it would have provoked
a storm of discussion over the state
and would have “ho doubt have fur
ther , embittered the gubernatorial
contest. While it would likely be
to the benefit of Gov. Smith to have
the county plan, yet to attempt
change for. such a palpable reason
might have lost him more than he
would have gained. The same objec
tions would apply to any postpon-
ment In the date of the primary.
A little more than a month now
remains until the voting. The Inter
val will no donbt be. Improved indus
triously by both candidates. For
the people It will be a relief to have
the question of a Governor disposed
of. Prolonged political discussion
does not conduce to good temper.
The state committee Is to be com
mended for its refusal to meddle with
either the popular vote plan or the
primary date.
It is no charge to say that Hoke
Smith said eh would drive foreign
capital out of Georgia. It is merley
quoting history, and that too within
the past two years. The columns of
the Journal at the time contained the
statement, which was afterwards sent
out as a campaign document by
Gov. Smith's manager.
But to the proof which is demanded
with such bravado:
In his Madison speech in the last
campaign, Gov. Smith was reported in
his paper,,as saying:
“Let us demand that legislation be
passed which will prevent the opera-
tion of railroads in Georgia by foreign
corporations. If we forbid the oper
ation of railroads In Georgia by for
eign corporations, those foreign cor-
porations which own the railroads will
be forced to sell or lease them to
corporations organized In Georgia, and
this course will effectually . bring
all railroads within the slate Into the
hands of domestic corporations.”
In his speech at Warrcnton a little
later, Mr. Smith said:
have insisted that the state
should not permit a foreign corpora
tion to perform service which involves
a .public duty. An act providing for
the domesticating foreign railroad cor
porations would amount to nothing.
Any state however, can forbid a
foreign corporation from operating a
railroad in a state.”
We are frank to confess that In
this instance Gov. Smith has carried
out the pledge of Candidate Smith.
This Is one claim put forward for
him which we allow.
It was an evil day for Georgia when
Hoke Smith became Governor. His
defeat would mean an invitation to
capital, his reelection a menace. (
In Its sweep over five Southern
states on Friday night, the storm
took as its toll 350 lives, injured more
than 1.000 and did large damage to
property interests. Many of the dead
were negroes, their cabins proving an
easy mark for the cyclone. Hundreds
of families had their homes demolish
ed. and In addition to injuries, must
depend on others for shelter. This
will call for substantial assistance
from the respective communities, and
even from a wider field, where the
towns were almost completely ruin
ed. as at Purvis, Miss.
The devastation was fearful, though
the fact that it was distributed over
a large area did not make It as ap
palling as If confined to one city or
section. It was such a calamity

ties to feel thankful of their escape,

Joe Brown’s Home Life
(Marietta
Correspondence
Constitution.)
The residence of Hon. Joseph M.
Brown, ex-railroad commissioner, now
a candidate for the Democratic nomi
nation for Governor, Is in many re
spects one of the most-interesting and
unique homes in Georgia.
It is situated on a historic spot
Here a generation ago lived ex-
Governor Charles -I. McDonald, who
was passing when Mr. Brown’s father,
Joseph E. Brown, the famous “war
governor,” was just stepping into the
limelight of popular favor. Despite
the difference in their ages, there ex
isted a devoted attachmont between the
old man and the man just entering
the prime of his physical and mental
powers.
Governor-elect Jos. E. Brown wrote
his acceptance of the Democratic nom
ination for his first term as Gover
nor in 1857 in ex-Governor McDonald s
office, which stood but a few steps
from the residence now occupied by
Joseph M. Brown, where the latter
has just written his announcement for
the exalted office which his father so
ably filled.
Mr. Brown purchased the beautiful
home from General Henry R. Jack-
son. Georgia's gifted “poet-orator.” and
moved to Marietta In May, 1889, a
few months after his marriage to
Miss Cora McCord of Augusta.
The house is situated on an emi
nence whose sloping eastern front is
shaded by majestic trees. From this
hill is to be had a charming view of
the famous Kennesaw mountain, two
miles to the northward, and a part of
the little city of Marietta on the east.

(Columbus Enquirer-Sun.)
A TRICK IN BUTTONS
Count Joseph GizykI. who married
Miss Eleanor Patterson, daughter of
the publisher of the Chicago Tribune
.four years ago, has applied for a di
vorce. His chief charge Is that she
spends her allowance from her fa
ther's estate on herself. This is
probably the most grievous crime a
woman could commit when her hus-
•band needs her money for his own
.pleasures.
The total debt of New York city
exceeds one billion dollars, or more
than the interest bearing debt of the
United States and four times the
debt of all of the states individually.
No wonder it costs a poor family ten
dollars for a room In a miserable ten
ement In the metropolis. Life will
become less and less endurable for
the poor in that city with politicians
loading heavier burdens upon proper
ty every year.
The Albany Herald, a Smith pa
per, we believe, calls attention to
.the fact that the “Atlanta Journal
is at its old tricks of garbling edi
torials from other papers," cutting
out sentences and rearranging them
.to emit the Journal's purposes. A
•contemptible procedure which Is not
surprising. The Journal Is simply
-desperate and desperate papers, like
desperate men, sometimes do things
, that are despicable. The Herald says
“It has lost all respect and confi
dence In the Journal and the Consu
mmation for such pracUces.”
In the matter of pinning Joe Brown
buttons on negyoes Smith supporters
are hitting below the belt, and tak
ing a course which will react
soon as the facts are known.
A prominent Americus man states
that-two days ago he was at Cordele
when he saw two Hoke Smith sup
porters give Brown buttons to
groes. He remonstrated with the men
for the act, but without effect.
This practice of procuring Brown
buttons and giving them to negroes
seems to be lu vogue ut many points.
We feel sure that the practice Is dis
approved by the majority of the
Smith supporters, and they should
condemn an unworthy trick.
On .this subject Mr. Brown has
given out the following statement:
“I also notice that Governor Smith
In his speech at Columbus and at
Macon, makes the charge that negroes
are wearing Joe Brown buttons, in
sinuating that they are being fur
nished by my friends and supporters.
In reply to this charge, 1 wish to
say that reports frequently come to
me that the friends of Mr. Smith
are procuring and giving away but
tons to negroes for the Bole purpose
of supporting his mode and method of
campaigning. All dignified and fair-
minded Georgians will understand
this.
"I cannot afford to take further no
tice of the matter than to eay that
the charge Is a slander that 111 .be
comes the governor of Georgia.”
Its hard to kee up with the mis
statements of Gov. Smith and his
organ. It has been charged by the
Governor that Joe Brown voted the
Republican ticket In 1872, when as a
matter of fact, Mr. Brown was not
a voter at that time.
In his speech In Columbus Monday
night Governor Smith denied . and
quite emphatically too, of course, .that
he had brought on the present buM-
ness panic. This Is quite a neat pol
itical trick on the part of the gover
nor, to dramatically deny a charge
which his opponents have not made
against him and then to go into de
tails to prove that he Is not guilty of
an accusation which has not been
brought against him. ..
The charge has not been made that
Governor Smith caused the panic-
even he Is not quite big enough to
have done all that, but we do not be
lieve there are many observant,
thinking business m*n who do. not
credit him with having helped some
what In bringing It about. The prime
mover in starting the “panic" wan the
man up at the "White House, with the
“big stick,” and his cranky Ideas
about the big corporations, the rail
roads, “malefactors of great wealthy
etc., etc., His attacks upon capital
and upon the moneyed Interests of
the country at large are what start
ed the panic.
Governor Smith, Governor Comer,
of Alabama, Governor Glenn, of
North Carolina and numerous other
politicians of the smaller fry only
trailed along after President Roose
velt and helped push things along
as they best know how. Capital, as
the old saying goes, is timid and
when the lusty ■ reform politicians
opened up on it and began to legis
late and make threats against it It
went Into hiding and much of it ds
there yet. -
When the governors of Georgia,
Alabama and North Carolina were
campaigning two years ago much of
their speechmaking was against the
railroads In particular and large cor
porations In general. The people were
told how they were being robbed of
milliofis by the railroads and how
those apostles of reform were going
to raise rates, increase taxes and
make these robbers disgorge. Such
talk and such threats and later the
enactment of some of ’it into law
could have but one effect and that
was not long in being felt. New en
terprises were stopped, investments
were withdrawn, capital was hoard
ed. the wheels of commerce and in
dustry began to turn but slowly and
the "panic” was on. Governor Smith,
nor any other one governor, caused
the panic; Mr. ‘Roosevelt with his
"big stick” already had capital on
the run and Governors Smith, Comer,
Glenn and the others but. joined in
the chase and helped only to the ex
tent of their ability to drive money
out of Its natural channel*.

In this beautiful home Mr. and Mrs
Brown have lived an Ideal life slnco
their union, nineteen years ago. They
have been blessed by three children,
Joseph Emerson, Charles McDonald
and Cora McCord, the eldest boy be
ing fourteen years of age. Mr. Brown
and his wife have endeavored to
make their home life so attractive to
their children as to. make It their
favorite resort, and In this they have
nttrelv succeeded. Not only their
jvft children, but the other young
clrildren of Marietta have long ago
learned that a cordial welcome al
ways awaits them at the Brown man
sion, whero the happiness of the
young Is an especial aim.
While there Is little which might
be styled expensive in the residence,
there Is one feature which has been
for yearB a source of great enjoyment,
to Mr. Brown. This is his library, in
which he has accumulated during the
past thirty years many rare and val
uable volumes. As 1b well known,
Mr. Brown whiles away his leisure
time In literary pursuits, and on such
day that he cannot get Into the gar
den or fields, he will be found in his
library. . ,
Mr. Brown Is very fond of horses
and Jersey cattle and of raising the
food for them. His ideas run
farming In all of its branches.
An Enthusiastic Farmer.
Vegetable gardens and orchards,
wherein are almost all varieties
fruits grown in North Georgia, are
be found on the top and broad sides
of the hill upon which the residence
Is situated. Behind the house is a
grove of pecan trees planted by Mr.
Brown In 1892.
On the upland adjoining he has
raised sixty-seven bushels of corn on
an acre of red land and threshed out
490 bushels of oats from seven acres.
At the Atlanta Exposition In 1895
he took the first prize for a Geor
gia made ham, and the second prize
for wheat . .
Mr. Brown's tastes run in peaceful
lines, hence his preference for this
quiet home In the shady grove, and to
this no doubt may be attributed much
of his hesitancy for weeks In answer
ing the call of the people to become -
central figure 4n the political field.
Mr. Brown displays deep Interest :
the welfare of Marietta, and has given
liberally of his money and time to
its growth. He gave *3.000 toward
the erection of a new Baptist church
here, and is vice-president of the Mar
ietta Board of Education. He Is a "
rector in the First National Bank

The very prominence of the par

publ.rity in which they live—serves
to rivet the attention of the people
who read upon this wholesale flout
ing of matrimonial obligations.
The. plain people of New York and
the surrounding country have reason
to conclude that It is fashionable and
aristocratic to be divorced. More
over, the Impression is broadcasted
among the masses that it Is an ( easy
and a simple thing to cut loose from

charm and freshness, and that any

the divorce courts.
,It Is impossible to conceive of an
impression • more damaging to the
social system under which we live
than the wholesale and almost wan
ton divorcing that is going on among
the prominent families of the me
tropolis.
The balance of the virtues and of
the graces of character rest with the
common people.. In the sweet and
simple creeds of life which have
come down to them from immemorial
custom and belief, the home Is al-
wavs magnified and glorified. The
names of husband and wife are sac
red. and the severance of domestic
ties Is a tragedy which only death
or revolution can dissolve. The-home
Is the foundation of society and the
bulwark of our national life.
And yet, when these fashionable
revellers, satisfied with pleasure and
famished for new sensations, are per
mitted to mock their marriage vows
and (ling off at will the solemn ties
which bound them before God and
man. It strikes a serious and stagger
lng blow at the faith and virtue of
the plain people. Who are the hope
and the basis of society.
Something should be done to halt
the epidemic of divorce.
Something should he devised
make more difficult the process
breaking homes and separating famt-
li£ The law and the gospel should both
be brought to bear upon the mons
trous evil which is ravaging society.
All honor to the great Catholic
Church, which sternly-'-frowns. upon
the idea of divorce.
All honor to that ancient and hon
orable creed of all the Jews, which
holds the mhrriage tie both sacred
and perpetual. . ..
All honor to that section of the
Episcopal denomination which holds
the divorcee outside the pale of the
Church. ' .... _ ,
It would be well If all the Chris’
tian creeds and churches should fol
low this example and set their faces
like flint against the severance
the marriage vow.
-It was no mere priest or prophet,
but the Son of God himself, in the
New and later testament, and not
the Old, who proclaimed that “Who.
soever shall put away his wife and
marry another hath committed adul-
try against her; and if a woman shall
put away her husband and be married
to another she committeth adultery."
That Is the unrepeated gospel of
the Christian world, and It Is high
time that the Christian world should
follow the Catholic and the Jew to
Its observance.

(Savannah Morning News.) f
The gubernatorial campaign is get 1
ting decidedly Interesting. Gov. Smith
didn’t expect to have opposition and
hence didn’t intend to make more
than one or two speeches. Even alter
Mr. Brown announced his purpose
to be a candidate he wasn’t at all
alarmed. He seemed to view Mr
Brown’s candidacy jiist about
the candidacy of the Governor was
viewed two years ago by one of his
opponents.; Wouldn’t if be strange
if the Governor should experience
just such an awakening as his oppo.
nent had in that campaign? He un
doubtedly realizes that the tide | s
running against him. Instead of
making only one or two speeches as
he had planned he will devote his
whole time to his campaign. Not
only that, but he has drafted Into his
service others who are to appear on
the stump and speak for him.
Now that the prohibition Issue has
been eliminated a new Issue has been
brought forward. It Is that “Utile
Joe” Brown Isn’t a handsome man
and hence doesn’t appear before the
people, and That his campaign deliv
erances are written for him. Mr.
Brown Isn’t unknown, to the people
of the state. As railroad commission
er and an employe of two Important
railroads he has come Into contact
with more Georgians than the aver
age citizen of the state has. It is a
pretty safe proposition that he knew
personally more people of this state
that the Governor did when he an
nounced his candidacy two years ago.
Georgians therefore ought to lie pret
ty weil acquainted with his persona!
appearance.
It may be that Tie doesn’t write the
articles that appear over his signa
ture, but the chances are that he
does. - It is a fact that he has been
writing articles for the public prints
for a number of -years and until he
began his gubernatorial campaign
his authorship of them wasn't ques
tioned. Many of them showed wide
acquaintance with the subjects of
which they treated and all of them
were clearly and forcibly expressed.
It isn't our purpose, however, to
lend a helping hand to Mr. Brown In
his contest, but stmply to say that the
Governor and his organ will not
greatly help the Governor’s cause by
trying to belittle his opponent. Geor
gians know what a square deal Is
and they will not be influenced by
anthing that doesn’t have the flavor
of frankness. For instance the At
lanta Journal, In an article in its
Tuesday’s issue entitled “For Beer
Saloons the Fight is On” undertakes
to give the impression that the Morn
ing News approved the fight. The
Journal knew that it quoted wholly
from a local article and that the
article together with its headlines
was simply a report of a meeting of
the directors of the Chamber of
Commerce and a very correct re
port. The headlines and the pari oi
the article that preceded the reso
lutions were explanatory of the
meeting and its action.
We call attention to this matter
simply to show the disposition to
mislead the public and to emphasize
the fact that the public will get the
facts sooner or later. When it gets
them‘it will feel less like trusting
those who mislead it.
