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. 4 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. (Signed) T. E. CtnißY, Pres. ( Iko. W. Giikkn, Sec.
