Suitable for Christmas presents, and at reas onable prices. 4 3t disavowal on-the part of Messrs Dan iel and Cofer, which wifi be mado later, and which will explain itself. These statements at least cover any Imaginable questions of veracity as between myself and there gentlemen, but there are other gentlemen who have been involved by their statement Saturday. One of the items In the publication of Saturday is ns 1 follows: * "The following men were present and heard Br. White’s speech, and C9"U testify to any who may desire-further Information as to any questions of veracity Dr. White has raised.’' T his list includes the names of Dr. L. G. Kcrdaman qnd Dr. J. J. Ilennett. Neither of these gentlemen were pres ent when I made my epeech In Mr. Woods White's office. The following from Dr. J. J. Bennett is to this and other points: This is to certify that neither my self nor Dr. L. G. Hardainan were present in Mr. Woods White's' office while you were there, but were to gether in my office in another part of tho building. We, therefore, cannot be appealed to for testimony as indi cated in the publication of the Anti Saloon League. I wish to say, howev er/ that In a conference of prohibi tionists some days preceding' this l heard your statement -analyzing the situation of prohibition at that time In Georgia, along the same line evi dently of your speech In Mr. Woods White’s office. Your statement was cleat* to ine, and, I think, to everyone else, as follows—’that Gov./ Brown would not, in your opinlhn, If he en tered the race for governor, run on any antl-prohlbltlon platform, and could hot consistently do ^o; nor would he* In your opinion, if he en tered the race, do to on a prohibition platform, but would maintain the po sition he has always occupied with reference to prohibition, because his political prestige in Georgia waa with all classes of people, without refer ence to the prohibition question.’ I desire personally, io say that the giv ing out for partisan political purposes of Information concerning what is in dividually discussed between gantl* men In a private and .confidential jneeting of prohibitionists,* such aa that meeting in. Mr. Woods White’s office was to ua all, la utterly beyond excusing or defending. TSIgned) -J. J. BENNETT.” I I'think this sufficiently cloaca the matter as to tho testimony ot thon present. I bar, not been able to .ret In touch with the two other gentle men referred to, one of them being out of the city. Caused All Tho Trouble. I h'avo not consulted Dr-. G. W. Touhg and Mr. J. B. Richards. They are tha gentlemen who bare made ail this trouble. One ot them mada tho notes, and the other helped him in getting them Into the political mans ger'a hands. Mr. Volney Williams did the reat, but Messrs Young and Richards cannot escape thq odium ot having violated the confidence end tbe honor of a private conference betwepn ^gentlemen and prohlbltloltlats. Cer tainly It would.be difficult to get men togethor to dlscuee common caucus and methods and men, about which thpre waa honest and earnost and frank differences of orinlou, If thoro waa tho danger of someone giving on’, privately to aerve aa an Individual or a partisan end what gentlemen from whom they disagreed should say In such a conference. They must re sent tho characterisation I apply to their conduct In this matter, but It will not be necessary for me to reply nny further. My attention hae been called to an other statement sent out by Mr. Vol- noy williams on yesterday, In which he alltges statements qt mine In pri vate conversation with two gentlemen. The thing he ; published yesterday about myself and Mr. Amo* Braaelton, la a-stark falsehood, a cross fabrica tion, a llo told by somebody, as the following ehowe: ■Tble I* to certify that I did not tell Mr. Volnejr Williams, nor anyone else, that Dr. John E. White had are: come to my drug (tore and asked ma to go with him to see Mr. Fred Paxon and, ask Mr. Faxon to ]olb ua In an appeal to Governor Brown, crgfng him to enter (hf race for governor Ip order that/e (Dr. White) might hevr a prohibitionist to support for govern or, nnd Dr. White never came to jno with any such request nud statement Every werd I over heerd Dr. White eey about prohibition nnd Governor Drown was a ccnflrmatlon of hla own and Governor Brown’s stahnch prohi bition. convictions. (Slsnod) “AMOS DRASELTOK' As to Mr. Williams statement using the ncrae cf Mr. William Mckent.it 1 , I almost scorn to touch It, It '.las'no bearing on tiny lontnre respecting Governor Brown's prohibition charac ter and record. It Is Mr. ‘MeKen?lo, rather .than myself, who is wrongoJ nnd Injured with tho public in that publication. Is there anything else.to cay? Yes. One thing: I desire to say It,to my friends in Atlanta and In Georgia and to tho thousands who know me only ns n Baptist minister and ns n servant ot good causes, whoso confidence I have enjoyed, tho dragging of my name Into this disagreeable controversy and the pursuit of me by Mr. Volney Wil liams, woo Is In the business of po litical wrangling, has been outrage tus. As a prohibitionist, while there was yet opportunity to do, I proper!) ac cepted an Invitation with a number of others In an effort during tbe last, ot August to unite all prohlbitlorilsta for campaign that would sweep Judge .Russell off the political map, and that would organize and prepare for us the real prohibition battle that Is bound to come in Georgia. Others Who Accepted. Dr. L. G. Broughton, Dr. Cofer, Dr. J. J. Bennett and othbrs accepted a similar Invitation and went Into the conference with that end In view. W‘ failed In the effort, and wo failed bp- cause Mr.. Pope Brown stlfdy said that he was Ip the race for governor; that be had relinquished his political aspirations to be zovernor once or twice before, and that, whatever hap pened or did not happen, he would not withdraw. The consequence waa that two candidates came then Into the held, both of whom claimed to be, prohibitionists, and yet both repre sented the opposite wlnga ot the old frictional light In Georgia. It waa folly to submit prohibition In face ot such conditions as this situation pre sented. Obeying my 1 conscience and common aenae, I refuted to give my consent or to lend my encouragement with respect to prtjiilbltlon that I knew would result, Just exactly aa it haa resulted, In an Inevitable and hgpmlul disorganisation of prohibi tion. U was aa tha editor ot The Georgian recently said, "a foolish and useless thing .to Inject the prohibition Issue Into the sbort tirm governor ship campaign," then I, for one, would pot.stand for that useless and foollah Jeopardising ot prohibition. I resolv ed to say absolutely nothing.. I wrote to Dr. L. O. Hardeman and expressed to him my lament over the situation, for I know that be, also, lamented It; but I wad determined to have no part, one way of the other, publicly, f wroto a personal latter to Judge W. R. Hammond, when I saw- bo was attacked by some prohibition-' 1st, for tho expression ot pis opinion. I told him that my judgment ot the situation coincided with hie. later, being urged to do-eo, I permitted tho publication of this personal letter, to Judge Hammond. There was nothing In that letter to Justify Mr. Voinoy Williams or anyone else In an at tempt to discredit me. But, at once, It wns clear that, In order to break tho Influence of tbe fact that men llko myself, Judge T. A, Parker, Dr. Nun- nelly, Judge Rosa, Mr. Willingham, Judgo-Longley, Governor Northen, Judge Klmscy, Dr. R. A. Jessup, and many other men Identified with pr« blbttlon Is Georgia, were refusing to fdllow, what waa clear to us, a terri bly mlstakefT effort to throw prohibi tion Into the ''useless end foolish” campaign; and that we would on other laaues vote for Governor Brown, that an attack by Mr. Williams began, to be focused upon mo as the head nnd front-- of/ all offender*. Against my desire to pursue my way quietly, I wee compelled to repudiate end re sent Mr. Volney Williams' “strictly confidential" circular, and thus I have been drawn Into a disagreeable con troversy. , , DR.
