Tabled Bill in the Up*

Aslafture.
That the Governor is

Reactionaries.
Han. M. E. Collum, state senator
groin .this district, passed through Am-
.iiicais .yesterday on his way home to
jEUarille llrom Atlanta. Seuator Col-
rtcn ,wa* only able to give about tvri
Alex'!, i xinto to his legislative dutier,
(rat >;U steady on toe Job for the un-
^sycntti fiasrm of the late Senator.
Stmslor Collum took a prominent
fart in regard to one piece of local leg-
totoiKm. It was through his instru-
mmmtaBty that the bill providing for a
Water Commission for the
srw. of Amerlcus was laid on the table
fa t-be Senate, after It had passed the
Bmut and was regarded as assured a
jpnsaige through the upper House.
In the House Representative Griffin
opja.sd the commission bill and Rep-
rosematlve Sheppard, who Introduced
St, favored its passage. When the bill
scant? up on its passage Mr. Griffin was
axis: nt and it went through without his
®»rrg on the Hoor to express his oppo-
■sHatu to its provision.
Why ('olliini Fought It.
Wm-r it reached the Senate it met
■With n .afferent fate. Senator Coi-
Xarn took the position that it was un
necessary legislation and designed for
jpajnhsan purposes. As he expressed it
an amerlcus man yesterday, he re-
gwebiUi the hill creating the commis-
as uncalled for and as containing
provisions that were, in his mind, iu-
JbnJeuil to representative government.
BSemiior Collum stated that he under-
aiaa>} that there was a sharp division
of sentiment in Americus on the sub
ject. that, the representatives from
Snxnler were dfVJded on the matter of
Its passage, and that there had never
tuts* any proper discussion of the sev-
Orat 'features of the bill. 'Senator Col-
Inas ivdd that if a commission was to
Vie selected to serve for six years the
■rin' l ii , v should rest in the hands of
tw people of Amerlcus and not in the
fcaads of a niajorlty of four memberu
or the council, especially In view of the
Brest powers given to the commission
Wtax, '.he held, the commission should
noC Jbe given the arbitrary power to
Cnotradt hills without consultation with
Osxxnul. the latter body being required
6y fie act to pay all debts the cont-
wikiJni anight create for the erection
tit a. '.Hchllng plant or other purposes.
Benuor Collum yesterday expressed
BunatdTas satisfied that when the peo-
(tlfc ct Amerlcus studied the commis-
tiaa t-Pc itlse features that lead him to
•ppoHe Irs passage would commend his
BVOTse to them.
thimdil IS Was Ills Duty to Oppose It.
T TiTXTded myself as much the rep-
B’esenu.tlve cf Sumter county as the
CObt two aienntles of the district” said
Senulor Collum, "and that It was Just
as much my duty to study local bills
tram Sumter as a local hill from
Schley, to acquaint mysolf with cou-
cBUovis, and act as my Judgment dic
tated. Representative GrilTlti was op.
pee. d ti the bill, and I had reason t:
fudivve that a great number of Amor-
Bens people wore opposed to it, and
that tli* public was unfamiliar with
v V ,:.^~;'j9ion3 of Jt and had no oppor-
CBofty to discuss It or give voice
their Heelings with regard to it. In
Basing the bill tabled I acted solely
Cttan a desire to protect and promote
nrtnt V regarded as the Interests ot
.Oaiericifs. The people now have an
opportunity to consider such legisla
tion further and decide whether they
wish a commission based on
Bach lines. I have done my duty and
tee 1 satisfied with my course.”

Atlanta, Ga., August 11.—At Brown
headquarters, the following letter from
William H. Smith, of Egan, Ga., was
given out:
"Governor Smith called Governor
Brown a ‘reactionary,’ and it oc
curs to me that he is In some respects
correct. A conspicuous event was the
reaction ot the people in putting Joe
Brown back in the capitol, from
which he had, without cause, been
•fired’ by Governor Smith.
Another reactionary event was the
prevention of the confiscation of the
‘foreign capital' which had been en
trusted to the safe-keeping, protection
and honor of Georgia, that was sent in
to our state to help us develop our ma
terial resources.
“Another reactionary event was the
sending of troops to Durham upon the
request of a deputy sheriff to prevent
a lot of freshly-imported Italians from
slaughtering our women and children
and destroying their property, instead
of following Governor Smith’s exam
ple in sending these same troops to
Aragon upon the request of a citizen
to protect two negroes.
‘ Another reactionary event was Gov
ernor Brown, through his convention,
declaring that all state convicts sit'oulj
be placed upon the public work3, not
withstanding Governor Smith subse
quently to this said to the legislature
that he did not know what to recom
mend.
“Another reactionary event was the
course pursued by Governor Brown in
cutting out of his campaign mud, filtt,
slander, vile epithets and threats, and
setting an example to all candidates
which has elicited the commendation
ot all good, intelligent and patriotic
people.
Sticks to Ills Work.
Another reactionary event is h'is
course in sticking to the job the peo
ple gave him. and putting their affairs
and interests above his own, and keep
ing others in the pay of the state at
their work. Instead of parading a'.l
over the state making campaign
speeches In his behalf.
‘‘Another reactionary event in the
Brown administration is basing offle
upon merit, fitness and competence,
Instead of beavity, lung strength and
sycophancy."
Another reactionary event Is
governor giving credit to others
what they do, and not taking all
credit for the meritorious acts
others.
Another reactionary event In
Brown administration Is that he does
not kick out of office every man po*
slble who differs from him iiolltlcaliy,
and whose official oath dictates anoth
er course. Had he the power to kick
a judge from the bench of the superior,
appeal or the supreme court who dif
fered from him in law or politics, he
would not exercise It even to please a
friend.
Another reactionary event was when
Governor Brown twice requested Gov
ernor Smith's legislature to establish
a bureau of labor, which the laborim
hosts of Georgia so richly deserve,!
ibut Governor Smith's legislature said
no to each of Governor Brown's rec
ommendations.
Another reactionary event was that
•when Governor Brown was elected
Hon. Hooper Alexander was droppe
from the state payroll. He was then
receiving a check every little while
drawn on the contingent fund, of $230,
and signed by ex-Governor Smith In
payment of “special services rendered.'
Which was in direct opposition to the
letter and spirit of the constitution of
the state. He then being a member oi
the general assembly. This saving, to
gether with the one recommended by
Governor Brown as to the positions
created by Governor Smith in increas-
the railroad commission from three to
five members for the purpose of mak
ing places for political friends, which
amounts to more than $2,000 per an
num, would soon put us in position to
pay ‘our” country teachei'3
promptly
With these savings and a legislature
pledged to safe, sane and economical
administration of the state's affairs,
we can very easily solve the great
problem of paying the school teachers.
Fays Vets In u Lump,
Another reactionary event was the
return to the payment in lamp sum of
pensions of Confederate veterans and
their widows, which was paid quarter'
!y under Governor Smith's adminis
tration.
Another reactionary event was that
after Governor Brown was nominated
the governor of Georgia he remained
If Col. J. E. Sheppard is sent to
the State to represent this district cx
will make a fight for the presidency
of that body, representlr.; .. -• Smith
faction as against the present Pres
ident Jo. n M. Slaton, of Atiau.a, who
is generally regarded a- - .—a wltn
Brown tendencies.
This Is the news that is sent oit
from Atlanta to papers throughout
the state. There is every reason
beiieve that the item correctly ex
presses the intention of Col. She;v
pard. It has been well kr./wn to his
friends in Amerlcus that Col. Shep
pard entertained this ambition and
that it has been under consideration
that be should enter the field for pre:
Ident of the Senate In the event of his
election to that body.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Savannah Morning News, in dealing
with probabilities In the next legisla
ture, states that it is generally ac
cepted that in that .body there will bi
a clean cut fight between the Smith
and Brown people in ttye selection of
presiding officers. Speaker Holde
who is a Brownlte, Is to be fougbt with
Smith man, and in the Senate
similar policy Is to be pursued. It is
said that every indication Is that If
former Gov. Smith is elected there will
be a clean cut fight for every position
In bo.h houses. The Morning New
correspondent, dealing with the pres
idency of the Senate, says:
‘‘A similar fight is promised for
presidency of the Senate. President
John M. Slaton of the present Senate
also kept out of the congressional
race in the Fifth district with a view
to serving a second term as President
of the Senate. Fulton county gets the
senator from the Thirty-fifth twice in
succession, and Mr. Slaton will be re
elected to that body without opposi
tion, and it has been known for many

Col. Sheppard Is expected home to
