Fds. A Propr’s Marietta Journal.
Illiabclli Hrnwn Club'. Statement.
Elizabeth, Cobb County, Geor
gia. April 7. I BOH.—To the Public:
Some days ago an art tele appeared
in the Atlanta Journal, signed by
J. K. Mozelv, of this place, at
tacking the business qualitiea
t ions of HOll. Joseph M. Brown.!
Now, let us see a bout those four
positions from which Mr. Mozejy
says Mr. Brown was discharged
for i non m potency.
The first position mentioned
was passenger agent of the West
ern ami Atlantic railroad. Gov.
Jos. K. Brown was president of
the company that leased this road '
from the state, and In* was known
a* an excellent business man. His
son, Joseph M. Brow 11, «».*»*• red the
service of the company iis a freight
clerk, and, as a result of hard
work and the manifestation ol
business capacity, was gradually
promoted until lie was put in
charge of the tratlic department,)
holding the position for years,and
during that perion the road was
on better terms with tile public
and gave u better and more con
venient accnmmodatimis than at
any time in its history.
After the Nashville, Chattanoo
ga and St. Louis .'eased the prop
erty it tilled the posit ions wit h its
own employees, just as is usually)
done when n road changes hands.
Joseph E. Brown never employ
ed inconi|s*ieut men.
As to the <sea board : It is well
known that it has been m flnan- 1
rial straits from the loginning.
Its career has been a cominuoii- 1
succession of kaleidoscopic chang
es. If all of those who have lost
out with the Seaboard vote for
Mr. Brown he will lie assured of a
support resectable both in size
and business character.

The estate that is claimed Mr.
Brown has dissipated is situated
principally in Atlanta. Joseph 1
.M. Brown and Julius Brown were
joint executors. Julius lives in
Atlanta, and wo are informed had
the principal management of the
estate. Tlie suit in question did
not result in any one being dis- ,
charged, us we remember, but was j
. settled out of court to the satis
faction of all concerned. And in
-1 stead of being dissipated, the es-'
lat-o is now valued lit, several hun
dred thousand dollars.
The other position from which!
Mr. Mozely says Mr. Brown wn*
disfluirged for 'iicomjietency was
that of railroad commissioner.
But was that the cause ? Gover
nor Smith says not. H<* says it
was because Mr. Brown wrote him
a letter which he did not open. It
is a question of veracity between
! Mr. Mozely and Gov. Smith.
Wo believe, and the public be
lieves, that In* lost that job lie
cause lie had backbone enough to
do his duty, and I lie trend of
events has vindicated his attitude
and business sagacity.
1 11 conclusion we wish to say
t lint the people of dnbb county,
whore Joseph M. Brown lives,have
tin* utmost confidence in him as a
inuii of character and business in
tegrity He is receiving the hearty
support of business men, farmers,
manufacturer* and wage earners, ■
| and will carry Cobb county by an
j overw helming majority. We know
j him ns a wortv son of a worthy
; sire.

FOR JUDGE OF OCONEE CIRCUIT
Profoundly grateful for having
1 been honored with the judgeship
of the Oconee Circuit, 1 respect
fully solicit from the voters of the
circuit a recognition of the time
honored Democrat ie rule of an en
dorsement for a second term. The
experience ol my first term the
better equips and qualities me for
the discharge of the duties of the
second term.
I invite investigation and com
parison of my record in the Su
preme Court and 111 the amount
ot business transacted in the Su
perior Courts of the circuit, ns
shown by the minut**s and dock-!
jets, with that of my predecessors
and other judges ot the state. 1
| have marked otV the dockets for
all causes over 4,500 eases, in my 1
opinion a greater number than ov- j
or before in the history of the cir
cuit 111 the same length of time.
Had it not been for tearing down
old and building new court houses
the death and sickness of attor
ney* and parties, the number
would have been greatly increased
and the docket* cleared up to date,
: :or more than once have l called
f>r trial every case on flic several
.lockets and discharged juries for
! lack of business. No court has
ever been delay* *1 or adjourned on
account of my inability t<> bold it.
n*»r have I ever hoeu late for open*)
ing court when juries were einpan-
Idled.
Sincerely thanking the many
who have so generously and vol
untarily assured me of their sup
port, l confident iv sul mu mycan
' duiaey to the arbitrament of the
! voters at tin* ballot box on June
