I believe in equal justice to all and partiality to none Assuring you that I will.appieeiale your support, I am, Most respectfully yours, W. M. HARRELL For So icitor General For Oongiess PR ' CE ’ Of Agriculture. Atlanta, Ga.—Commissioner of Ag riculture J. D. Price, replying to a letter addressed to hint by T. H. Kim brough of Catnula, Ga., containing a number of questions with reference to his administration, shows the ut ter falsity of charges uttered against him by his opponent, J. J. Grown, and concludes with a statement showing that Brown has, at oveiy opportunity, done the very tilings of which he now so loudly complains. Commissioner Price has been in of fice only three years and two months beginning July 1, 1913, and not six years, as has been stated. His pre tiecessor in the office was J. j. Con ner, with J. j. Brown as assistant. They served from May 1, 1912, , t0 July 1, 1913, only 14 months, and not two years. "On October 1, 1912, Conner and Brown appointed the same number of feitilizer, food and other inspectors that I appointed October 1, 1914, and these appointees of Conner and Brown served under me from July 1, 1913 to October 1, 1914, u period of fifteen months,” Commissioner Price states. What They Spent During that time I could not make a single appointment, and these ap pointees of Conner and Brown, dur ing the nine months from January 1 to October 1, 1914, which Is that part cl their service covered in the andl- i«oie r nSo rt t ex > ,ended $11,342.99 of the $J-,120.83, for travel, hotel bills, sam ples, bottles and expressage. Brown is making a great to do about these expenses, and I merely wish the public to know that it is own and Conner's appointees spent their full share of it. ”1 appointed U10 successors to these men and in every case the appoint ment was made in precise requirement with law. The expenses of these 74 men, aggregating J32.120.S3 for two jears, and required by law, averaged only $18.09 per month per man. With out these expenses the laws of the state could not he carried out. Fur ther, the records of this office show the cost of analyzing fertilizers under Conner and Brown was $2.88 per sam ple, whereas, under my first adminis tration, It was only $2.40, u clear sav ing to the state of 4S cents per sam ple. "My own personal expenses for two years wore only $1,168. 1 spent in two years only $43.75 in railroad fare between Athens and Atlanta, for the purpose of attending agricultural meetings there and in that section of the state. In 1914 and 1915, this de partment, under me, turned Into the slate trcnsuiy approximately $300,000 over and above ull expenses. Those funds are handled directly by the state treasurer and paid out by him on warrants issued by the governor and approved by the comptroller general. I do not handle these funds and the law does not require me to give bond. False And Malicious "My opponent and his friends have seen lit to falsely and maliciously cir culate concerning me and my admin istration, the statement that I have given away to the farmers of Geor gia during the past six years, $30,000 worth of cotton seed. As a matter of fact I have been in office three years only. They know the agricultural de partment does not handle or give away a single dollar’s worth of cotton seed, hut that this distribution is mads thioiigh the department of Entomol ogy, which is controlled by a separate honid and not-hy mo or the agricultu ral department. Tliis board of ento- w tlfp’ , ha f, a , speciflc fund provided by the legislature, for the purpose of soils 1 "m i Ulla d * stl 'lbulion of cotton om d , w ?^ h Hre of a special character nrivalont d I l ° resl3t dlsease3 of cotton prevalent in many counties of Geor- ™u. y well know that every dol lar of this fund is expended by that department all distribution of seed is mnde by It, and that with it, * Ij as commissioner of agriculture, have nothing whatever to do. This money Li dra i W . n dlrect| y by the state onto- mologist through the governor, ex- Hsll d ?. d directly by him, and the di's- tiibution °f the seed is made person- best ^ th<3 on omolog lst as he thinks have already told you of the com pliment paid this office by the audi- toi in his report. Beat Brown By 46,000 ‘Now as to Brown, whom I beat by 45,000 votes in the primary of 1914- I am reliably informed by friends tint men are now going over the state of ferlng oil and fertilizer inspectors’ Jobs to those who will carry this or that county for him, although he knows he could not, if elected, make a single appointment for a period of two years, as I will make all the appointments on October 1 next for terms of two years. The same J. J. Brown, who talks about ‘political machine,’ was at the Mncon convention in 1912, with J. J. Conner, and they were offering these appointments to gel convention votes against me. "J am reliably informed that this same Biown who, It is said, has not fanned in twenty years, but whe has been a traveling fertilizer salesman a large part of the time, is now strongly supported by some of the fer tilizer interests. What Brown Charges To The State "Further, I want to call especial at- tention to the itemized expense ac count of J. J. Brown, now on file in the governor’s office, under his ap pointment by Governor John M. Sla ton two years ago as inspector in case of the damage done to the farmers of North Georgia by the Tennessee Cop per* Co. His expense account from June 10 to August 10, this year, a pe- Tiod of two months, was $188.24. Be sides he received a salary of $250 to administer the state’s affairs at Cop per Hill, If the 74 men In this de partment had rendered an expense ac count in the same proportion as J. J. Brown’s, it would have aggregated the enormous sum of $167,157.12, instead of the $32,120.83 as shown in the aud itor’s report. At the same time he has been receiving this money, he has been traveling about over the state falsifying me and my record as com missioner of agriculture; and each item is charged up by him nbt by mile age, but at full ticket rates. "The record in the governor’s office for 1914 and 1915 shows there were I, 128 claims from Georgia farmers against the Tennessee Copper Co. in which the arbitrators could not agree. J. J. Brown as umpire decided 077 of these agninst the Georgia farmers divided'the claim between the compa ny and the farmer 320 times and found in favor of the farmers only 131 times I present this ns a matter of recora which cannot he disputed.” To the White Voters of I he Albany Judicial Circuit- Tins will make known to you that I am a candidate for re-elec tion to the office of Solicitor Gen eral of said Circuit, subject lo the State Democratic Primory to be hoik on September 12th.
