and reciprocal rights, of conservatism
and common sense. And in promulga
ting that propaganda we ever face the
fact that the people are the power—not
the head-spring only, but the great
rolling river, dear with intelligence
and masterful with might, shining
with justice and sweet with truth, con
trolled by no one, but controlling every
one.
“My countrymen, love is not an
empty idea, and fraternity not a dream.
All things peaceable are possible to
those whose will is to do the right. The
glory of Georgia can be found in a uni
ted manhood. If, then, in the exercise
of the faculties with which the Deity
has endowed us. we acquire prestige,
rank or power, let us cast them at the
feet of our great mother State, and to

thine!’
“Finally, I pray that all of 11s into
whose hands the sovereign people have
entrusted her governmental affairs
may hold in mind that we are here to
reconcile, not to antagonize to confer
with our consciences while we confer
with each other, and, so realizing, that
we may move forward, harmonious and
loyal, with the lamp of reason, not the
torch of discord, to light our way.”

From
the executive reception room the pro
cession to the Hall of Representatives
was led by Gov. Smith, escorted by Sen
ator Calloway as chairman of the Senate
committee on inauguration. Governor-
elect Brown, following, was escorted
by Representative Hall, chairman of
the House committee. Other members
executive, legislative and judicial de
partments as the balance wheels of
government. Interference of either
with the other was forbidden, and each
within its circle was supreme, save
that the Governor, by the orderly exer
cises of the veto, was invested with
the power to stay hasty or ill-consid
ered legislation,

State House officers and others.
Gathered on the floor of the House
was the General Assembly of the State
—the Senate and the House of Repre
sentatives that together constitutes the
Legislature. The Senate was for the
occasion seated with the members of
the House.
In the galleries were the compara
tively few representatives of the great
public of Georgia who could gain ad
mittance, and in the corridors were
those who could find no room inside.
The invocation was pronounced by
Dr. John E. White, a warm personal
friend of Mr. Brown.
Governor-elect Brown was uresented
to the General Assembly by the Presi
dent of the Senate, Hon. John M. Sla
ton, after which he delivered a brief
but most excellent and eloquent inau
gural address.
The oath of office was administered
to Mr. Brown by Chief Justice W. H.
Fish, of the Supreme Court, after
which the Great Seal of the State was
delivered to Gov. Brown by retiring
Gov. Hoke Smith, and then turned over
to Secretary of State Phil Cook by the
new Governor for safekeeping.
The recessional from the hall of
Representatives was in the same order
as the processional, and escorted the
Governor and his wife to the executive
office in the State Capitol, where an
informal reception was held and after
tions, and no one in another department
is authorized to interfere with the ex
ercise of such administrative powers.
"Equality under the laws is the com
mon righ£ of our citizenship, constitu
tionalism is the pass-word of the patri
ot, justice wields the sword which
strikes down the wrong, which protects
the pure; and the voice of reason we
perforce must heed, for we cannot ig
nore the truth that reason coerces
while it coaxes. In obedience to the
Constitution we fulfill duty, we secure
pleasure, for, while that great instru
ment commands, it protects.
“1 will not to-day consume time in
proposing specific plans of procedure in
our governmental labors. You who are
here assembled know the problems
which confont us; and at an early day
we will counsel together, we will co
operate in the endeavor to lessen the
burdens of the people, and to restore
economic conditions which will enable
all who work to prosper.
“In the meantime, if there have been
differences let us put them behind u»;
let harmony guide our thoughts and ac
cord characterize our acts; let us bear
in mind that we are Georgians, and
that the interest of each Georgian is
the interest of all Georgians, and let
us prove to the world that wisdom-en
dowed, Constitution-obeying and honor-
loving Georgians hold forever sacred
the guarantee that under her aegis
abides as regnant forces justice, faith
and truth.
“I ask you, therefore, to remember
that as great as are our opportunities,
so great are our obligations that the
laws of our State are not enacted to
confer more power on those named as
officials, but to furnish and apply the
machinery whereby the officials can
which the new Governor entered upon ; protect in equality of rights ail the
the discharge of his official duties.
Following is the inaugural address de
livered by Hon. Joseph M. Brown just
before taking the oath of office as Gov
ernor ;
“Gentlemen of the General Assem
bly, I,adie3 and Fellow-citizens: In
obedience to the mandate of the sov
ereign people, I appear before you for
the purpose of taking the oath which
binds ms to the duties of chief execu
tive of this commonwealth.
people, their peers. And in the appli
cation of those laws we cannot elimi
nate the personal equation from the
problem, for both the official and the
private citizen are bound to mutually
responsive action in the protection of
society, to the extent that in all mat
ters affecting the interest of the public,
the private citizen should hold his word
to be as weighty with fidelity to fact
as the official holds his oath. Let us,
then, to safeguard that protection, dis
card haste and impulse and with faith
in God and in ourselves promulgate in-
His Troubles Numerous and His Wor
ries Great.
Certain it is that no class of men
in business is so generally helpful to a
community and so universally abused
as the country merchant.
It is no wonder tnat at times we find
him lighting back.
His business life is one of continuous
fighting for his rights from the time he
opens his doors in the morning until he
closes them at night.
It is little wonder that we find him
“grouchy” and cross at times.
He has to light with the salesman to
get his goods at a price which will ena
ble him to sell them so as to meet com
petition, so as to satisfy his customers.
He must be ever on the alert and
watch everything that comes into his
store to see that only first-class arti
cles are put on his shelves.
He is continually harassed by per
sons who want credit, whose responsi
bility is not the best, and with whom it
would be, oftentimes, a loss to deal.
There are numerous calls on him for
charity and the support of charitable
institutions.
If there is to be a new enterprise of
any kind started, a new railroad or
franchise of any nature, or a new man
ufacturing enterprise, the merchant is
always expected to assist by subscrib
ing for stock which many times proves
worthless.
No matter what cause or condition
may arise looking to the betterment of
the condition of the town, the mer
chant is the one on whom the responsi
bility of assisting with capital and time
falls.
Your private citizen, your landown
er, scarcely takes an interest in these
things. He profits by it, however, hh
does every other resident of the city or
town, as does every resident or farmer
near the town, whose property is en
hanced in value thereby.
Since so much is expected of the
merchant, since he employs so many
people in the conduct of his business,
since he is such an important factor in
the upbuilding of a community, why'
should he not receive the patronage
and support of every resident of a com
munity? Why should the money of a
community be sent out of that commu
nity to support people jn a large city?
We know well the argument that the
Mail Order House patron puts up in
answer to this question—“because we
can buy cheaper from the Mail Order
House.”
No greater absurdity ever existed, no
greater falsehood was ever given in
reply to a question. In one case out of
one hundred this might, to a certain
extent, have a real relevancy, but gen
erally the proposition is as false as it
can be stated.
We would ask you, Mr. Mai! Order
House customer, how do you know that
the Mail Order House can sell cheaper?
How do you know that your merchant
cannot and will not duplicate these
prices and these goods? This is where
you err.
The business of the world is done on
confidence. You must have confidence
in your merchant. Take him into yotir
confidence and you may rest assured
that when you do this he will work in
harmony with you, and your community
will be benefited, and you will _like-
wise profit thereby.

Support of the Home Paper.
Business Men’s Magazine.
Many a good town isn’t wortli a cent
because the local newspaper is neglect
ed. Many a good merchandising center
is dead because the men in business treat
the editor of the newspaper as an object
of charity. This is wrong. The local
paper is the greatest thing in the com
munity. It should be supported. It
should be read anti patronized. The
merchants who think they are Clevel
and smart when they slip one over on
the local paper make a big mistake.
Every dollar you take away from the
local newspaper in schemes and knocks
hurts the town. It hurts business, and,
most of all, it hurts the merchants who
indulge in it.
Whatever else you merchants do, pat
ronize your home paper. Don’t tell me
that it has a small circulation. Don’t
tell me that you reach ten times as many
people with less expense using circulars.
Don’t spring any of those time-worn
gags on me at all. Stop standing ift
your own light. Get behind the local
paper and push it for all you are worth.
I don’t mean push it to the wall. Push
it up grade to a position where it ought
to he, and as sure as you are alive you
will push your own business up with it
to a point you never dreamed of before.
When a man tells me that he reaches
more people and gets better results from
his circulars I know that he is deceiving
himself and telling me-what I can prove
to be untrue. A newspaper in the com
munity is read by the people. They
learn to watch for it, and when they get
it every member of the family wants
his turn to see what it says. Ads. and
all are read. If the merchants of a
community will educate the people to
look in the newspaper for their announce
ments the people will read the paper
more and greater will ho the returns.
Thore is no alley so long but that has
its ash barrels, and there is no knock so
powerful or subtle but that it reacts.
Do yourself a favor and keep up your
end by supporting the local newspaper,
and support it for all you are worth.
The Blessing of Fresh Air.
Riil< inli (N. C.) Progrrasslve Farmer.
Perhaps no other fallacy has done so
much to promote ill-health in the South
as the foolish notion that there is some
thing peculiarly and mysteriously injuri
ous about “night air,” as if night air
were different from the air which we
breathe and which gives us health and
strength in the daytime. We would
have far fewer deaths from consump
tion, far fewer headaches, and a great
many more people witli rosy checks and
untroubled bodies, if people made it a
practice to sleep with their windows
open.
If fresh air cost money, we would
have millions of poor people complain
ing that their poverty prevented them
from getting enough fresh air; where
as, since it costs nothing, they go to
great pains to shut out as much as pos
sible this great health-making gift of
God every night that comes.
Go out of a close, unventilated house
early in the morning into the fresh,
sweet air out of doors and note the con
trast. Can you conceive how it is pos
sible for people to deliberately shut
themselves up one-third of their lives
in the bad, unwholesome air of a closed
room, when the invigorating atmos
phere of God's out-of-doors is free to
every living being for the mere asking?
Even in the coldest weather, plenty
of cover in the sleeping-room with the
windows open will make one perfectly
comfortable, and there are few things
which will do more to promote health
and vigor.
TRUTHFUL REPORTS.
Newnan Reads Them With Uncom

A Newnan citizen tells his experience
in the following statement. No better
evidence than this can be had. The
truthful reports of friends and neigh
bors is the best proof in the world.
Read and be convinced:
Mrs. A. M. Askew, 25 Willcoxon St.,
Newnan, Ga., says; “I cannot hesitate
to recommend so valuable a remedy as
Doan's Kidney Pills. For a long time
my daughter, eleven years of age, was
annoyed by the imperfect action of the
kidneys. The secretions were much too
frequent and at times caused a burning
sensation during passage. One box of
Doan’s Kidney Pills, which were pro
cured at Lee Bros’, drug store, entirely
corrected the difficulty and there has
been no return of it since.”
