Fooling The People
It is well known that the vet
showman P. T. Barnum
that the An erican people
to be humbugged, and he
good his saving by amassing
huge forruue at the game, Then
immortal Lincoln < nee said:
can fool all the people part
the time, and part of the people
of the time, bat you cant fool
of the people all of the time”
this is what the Tennessee
Company, who has been
men all over this mountain
to carry their petitions,
w ill find out sooner or later. It
is reported that they offered influ¬
m c 11 in Gilmer county
$100.00 if they would carry their
petitions and get as many as one
hundred names thereto, whether it
took one day or two days or a week;
but they re I used to be a party in
deceiving their neighbors into
signing awav their rights, even at
so attractive a figure. Such offers
will hire men, and I air. informed
that these petitions have been cir¬
culated throughout this whole
country and that they have been
signed by many who did not read
them, nor kiuw just wliat they
were signing. Many were told
that it was a petition of our farm
ers in this county to end the ] res
ent contract and have a local man
appointed.
Now let us look this matter
squarely in the face and see just
wliat it is the Copper Company is
realy asking. In the first place
the U. S. supreme Court, after a
long and bitter fight, decreed that
our gtat» was entitled to the relief
sought hi her bill, for our cause
was anxious and just,and this high
est c uit in all our laud held:” We
are satisfied by a preponderence of
the evidence, that great dam:»g e
has been done to the timber, or¬
chards and crops of the citizens of
Georgia by the fumes of the de¬
fendants, and if Georgia insists on
her extreme right, there is no al¬
ternative tint to grant the decree,”
and order 'd the State to prepare a
decree f< r the October court. This
decision was banded down in May
over 9 years ago It is plainly seen
that the State of Georgia had all
of these Copper plants at her mer¬
cy, bui then as now, no one want¬
ed to destroy them, their positive
assertions to the contrary, if they
but will conduct their operations
so as not to injure us and our prop¬
erty. Tn lieu of taking this decree
at this time, our State throughout
its Legislature, entered into the
present contracts with the Tennes¬
see Copper Company, w liieh the
said Copper Co. has so sadly
abused , and about which our peo¬
ple are so bitterly complaining.
Be it remembered that the main
consideration of this contract, was
their -p-cif'ic agreement to cure for
their poisonous gas during the
season, and not the paltry
$15,500 yearly that the con¬
also provided to pay damage
our farmers.
Dr. R. E. Stallings, onr eminent,
Chemist, shows that during
period of some 76 days that he
figures, during the life of this
that the Tennessee Cop¬
Co., liberated 358 tons of sul¬
di' xide daily to blight and
Georgia vege;ation. The
of this vast amount
bo judged when it is known
the (J. S. Supreme Court bos
as late as April 3rd, this year
25 tons of sulphur content
had proven highly injurious
Georgia, in the Duotown case
gave her a decree limiting that
to this amount.
Let us lurthur >ee just what it
that 1 lie property owners are
to subscribe to when you
von name to the present pe¬
as prepared by the sharp law¬
of tne Tennessee Copper C* 1 .:
rei.o •• tlie present contract,
give 10 a a new States arbitra¬
Are*v u sati lied to give them
easement to flood your property
will with tin ir poisonous gas,
$16,500 yearly? when it is
that in Fannin County
in the year OIM914 some, 1005
filed claims under oath
$145,944. And again it is
that the farmers got an in
against the Baluklala
Copper Co,, of Shasta
as here, and by the way Mr.
of the Tennessee Copper Co.
their manager, the Copper
there offered to put up $250,
to pay the farmers damages,
they knew what sulphur smoke
to crops, and had the court
them down, although the
cultivated laud was thir¬
miles from the smelters.
Now let us see about that new
arbitrator aud paying out the
money I am told they promise the
signers. Who is the state arbitra¬
tor? Mr. Griffith of course. Now
lets look atMr.Griffith's record and
see who would waut to get rid of
him and why?
It is reliably reported that at
the outset that Mr. Brown wanted
the votiug on all claims to be
unanimous, while Mr. Griffith in¬
sisted that ir. be so kept that all
could see how each voted 011 any
and all claims, and fortunately
Mr, Griffith had his way and the
record is plain if you take the
trouble to go to the Governors of¬
fice and examine it.
This record shows that out of some
1060 claims where Mr. Griffith voted to
pay Fannin county farmers, and where
Mr. McDonald, the copper company
man, turned them down, and where they
called in Mr. Brown as umpire he
promptly turned down 833 of the same
without a cent, and voted to and did re¬
duce most of the other 1050, Now let
us take an example or two, take lor in¬
stance the claim of Mr. J. F. Holden,
cashier of the North Georgia National
Bank at Blue Ridge. He files a claim
in 1914 for smoke damage to a fine
young orchard of $525. All of the ar¬
bitrators prononneed it a bad case of
smoke damage, but lets see how they
voted on the award. Mr. McDonald
said nothing, Mr. Griffith said $100.00
and Mr. Brown the umpire, who was
loudest in his complaint of the smoke
damage, saying it waB a shame to have
a nice young orchard ruined in this way,
voted $25.00 and as his vote is final Mr.
Holden got the fine sum of $25 for his
damage
Take the claim of Mr. Thos.A.Brown,
the prominent Blue Ridge attorney, he
filed claim under oath the same year
for some two acres of field peas he had
ruined by the smoke, Mr. McDonald
voted nothing, Mr. Griffith #40 and Mr.
Brown voted nothing, so Mr. Brown
lost his claim as the umpire casts the
deciding vote, whenever he is called in.
Now, let us look at the record of these
arbitrators for 1914. In this year please
remember the Fannin county people filed
claims for $145,144,and the total awards
for this year were $6,538 although Mr.
Griffith voted to pay $16,007 this year
which would have about paid out all the
money available that year to your peo¬
ple. Too, let us look at a letter from
Mr. Griffith to Gov. Slaton under date
of November 28th, 1914, from the gov¬
ernor’s files where he says: “Deer Gov¬
ernor: I enclose my final report for this
year. 1 am not at ail pleased with the
awards we made this year but I could
not help myself. The arbitrators (mean¬
ing himself and Mr.McDonald) disagreed
and we called the umpire and he decid¬
ed with the Company’s arbitrator in
most all of the cases and when he did
not agree with him altogether he did
vary from him very much as our
will show. I was somewhat sur¬
at the view Mr. Brown took of
matter but he was invincible.”
Is it Mr. J. J. Brown, with such a
that the Fannin county farmers
to retain, and dismiss Mr. Griffith,
the record shows very plainly tried
be fair, and will they virtually say
such indorsement that 833 farmers
good citizens of your county swore
and that Mr. Brown was right
turning them all down, and Mr.Grif¬
wrong in sustaining them?
I know many of your good citizens
as I said at the openingof this com¬
you may fool them a. part
the time but you can’t fool them all
the time
