Ex-Gov. Brown Issues State
ment.
Hon. Jos. M. Brown has written the
following communication to the people
of Georgia, in which h<* explains why
tie entered the Senatorial race and the
reason* for Senator llolte Smith’s big
majority:
"To the People of Georgia: When,
at the call of thousands of white voters,
entered the recent campaign for the j g-n directly to the rescue in situations

Gov. Colquitt’s Advice.
Meron Ttleirmph.
(»ov. O. B. Colquitt, of Texas, the
largest of the cotton-growing States,
on the cotton questir n says:
“If Congress would amend the emer
gency currency law so as to place the
emergency currency, which is to be is
sued on cotton warehouse receipts in
bank", to be loaned direct on the cotton
at M per cent., this in itself would re
lieve the situation. But every provis
ion on this subject gives to the national
banks a monopoly in the control of the
emergency currency issued. Banks are
timid, and are the first ones to run to
cover in times of distress. Whereas,
in my opinion, the Government should
Senate it was primarily for the purpose
of drawing your attention to the en
croaching issue as to whether or not
the laws of Georgia and of the United
States should be impartially and firmly
enforced for the protection and benefit
of all the people, or whether certain
lasses should be allowed to Haunt those
Jaws and damage the interests of the
general public for their own sellisli ben
efit.
"It is well known that the campaign
was unexpectedly interrupted by the
general war in Europe, with the proba
bility of its extension into Asia, etc.
The colossal scope of the threatened ca
lamity to our commerce anil, it may be,
our peace, brought a dumb dread into
every county of our State.
"In this hour of apprehension SenatoJ
Hoke Smith came forward with a prac
tical offer to have Congress enact legis-
ation which will keep the price of our
great staple (cotton) up to 12J cents
per pound, nnd with the assurance that
hundreds of millions of dollars would
soon hi available for loans on farm
lands. With the average man these
promises, if fulfilled, mean the differ
ence between penury und plenty, and
the poople have turned to him and giv
en him their confidence and their votes.
'Terrnit me to say that if Senator
fluke Smith makes his guarantees good
he will merit the heartfelt plaudits of
the people, in which I will cheerfully
join.
"But regardless of whether I do or do
not occupy public oilice, I shall continue
to stand openly und ever for equal nro-
•ection by the laws to all, and equal obe
dience to the laws by all.
"On this issue,those differing with mo
who have profited by the obtrusion into
the cumpaign of the overpowering cause
above shown have received the benefit
of but a transitory triumph, for beyond
doubt victory gained at the expense of
the basic principles of law is but the
precursor of ultimate defeat.
"But us remember that in the days of
the i’rophet Elijah the 7,000 who re
mained faithful to the law were the hu
man leaven through whom God restored
His worship in Israel. We have left
with us in Georgia ten times that num
ber who have refused to tie shaken from
their faith in orderly government baaed
ii|Kin deliberate reason.
"The mere fact that counties, which
in the past four elections have been im
pregnable strongholds agai; st Senator
Smith nnd his policies, have now given
him sweeping majorities, is one of the
most conclusive proofs that this elec
tion was decided by tiie unprecedented
cause 1 have named instead of being an
indorsement ol Senator Hoke Smith und
his well known policies.
I cannot doubt, therefore, that, as
the needle ol the compass, though at
times rudely shaken, returns its puint
ever to the north, so the people of Geor
gia will ere long make clear their will
that the impartial enforcement of the
laws over all classes shall be the su
preme action in this State.
"In conclusion, I desire to thank my
friends in every county who have gen
erously given me the indorsement of
their votes, und many of them the self-
sacrificing offering of arduous acts of
personal devotion. As long as life lasts
1 shall cherish their affection and their
loyalty to tin' ideals of purest patriot
ism.
"May the future tie replete with hap
piness and prosperity for all our people,
with all classes vising in the protection
of lives und common rights.
"Joseph M. Brown.
“Marietta, Ga., Sept. S, 19U,"
like that which now confronts us. The
public policy of such u course I know
may be questioned, but in cases of
emergency the country can go to ruin
while we are discussing theories.
There is no question but what the Gov
ernment can do itself anything which it
cun delegate to a corporation or agent
to do, with respect to matters of this
kind.”
As the national banks are the recog
nized agents of the Government for
handling the emergency currency, and
no other agency will be considered, is
why it was suggested in this column
that the !i per cent, tax be not required
of the hanks, so as to enable the banks
to let out this currency at a low rate of
interest. The Government is not com
ing direct to the rescue of the farmer.
The sooner this iH realized the better.
Farmers were deluded by the "fake
specials” sent all over Georgia only
four days before the late primary elec
tion, which claimed that in just three
or four more days Congress would take
steps for keeping cotton at 12 cents or
more.
These campaign telegrams impressed
the farmers, and thousands of them
still cherish a lingering hope that Sena
tor Smith’s promises will materialize.
They will not, however. They answer
ed the purpose intended —but now for
something tangible.
As there will be no valorization, no
letting out money direct, and as we are
shut out by the national banks, whose
handling of the emergency currency is
optional, why not press upon the Govern
ment to charge no interest for the next
six months? Then the banks may get
interested.
When so much was said a few months
ago about "rural credits” under the
new system of emergency currency,
the farmers conceived the idea of more
direct help on the part of the Govern
ment. Hence, under such impression,
they were in a state of mind to be de
ceived by those "fake specials.” But
as they were “fakes” for a purpose,
such schemes must be dismissed, is
not the removal of the o per cent., so
the banks can get this emergency
money free for the next six months, a
practical suggestion? If not, why not?

Heavenly Father saw lit to take the
dear little boy to His home above,
where there will be no more sickness
or death. How sad and lonely we are
made to know that his sweet little face
will be seen no more. Sad to realize
that he is gone, for he was so sweet,
so pure: yet there is none too sweet to
die. Our Father in heaven knows
Best, and we know that the little one is
in heaven, waiting for us to come; yet
tis hard to bow in meek submission to
the Master's will and say, “It is well."
Dear father, mother, and sisters, we
snow your hearts are broken; but put
vour trust in Him who said “Suffer
little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven.” The little vase
was broken and shattered here on

Emergency Currency Bill Passed
By Senate.
Washington, D. C., Sept. IB—The
emergency currency bill, amending the
Vreeland-Aldrich Act to make 75 in
stead of JO per cent, the amount of com
mercial paper to be accepted from
banks as security for emergency cur
rency, passed the Senate to-duy with
out a roll-call and now goes to the
House. The measure was prompted by
financial conditions growing out of the
European war. An amendment adopted
to-day provides for the issue of emer
gency currency through State banks
and trust companies. Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, proposed the amend
ment. which was supported generally by
Southern Senators, who declared that
only by issuing emergency currency to
State banks could the needed circula
tion be brought to the small farmer
and small merchant.
Under the amendment all privileges
conferred on national banks under the
Vreeland-Aldrich emergency currency
Act are extended to the State banks
and trust companies having a capitali
zation of $25,000 or more and a 20 per
cent, surplus. The amendment exempts
such notes as may be issued to State
banks from the 10 per cent, tax on
State bank circulation imposed in 1875.
The Senate voted down a proposal
that cotton producers should be given
preference in the loaning of emergency
currency in cotton States and that the
interest charged should not exceed 0
percent. Senator Overman, proposing
the amendment, declared the purpose
of emergency currency in the South
was to relieve the cotton situation, and
said that in his amendment relief to
the cotton-growers would be assured.
A Friend.
A friend is a person who iR “for
you” always, under any circumstances.
He never investigates you.
When charges are made against you
he does not ask for proof. He asks
the accuser to clear out.
He likes you just as you are. He
does not want to alter you.
Whatever kind of coat you are wear
ing suits him. Whether you have on a
dress suit or a hickory shirt with no
collar, he thinks it's fine.
He likes your moods, and enjoys your
pessimism as much as your optimism.
He likes your success. And your
failure endears you to him all the more.
He is better than a lover, because he
is never jealous.
He wants nothing from you except
that you be yourself.
He is the one being with whom you
may be safe. With him you can un
burden your heart, its badness and its
goodness. You don’t have to be care
ful.
There are many faithful wives and
husbands; there are few faithful
friends.
Anybody can stand by you when
you’re right; a friend stands by you
even when you’re wrong.
The highest form of friendship is that
of a dog for his master. You are in
luck if you can find one ma» or woman
on earth that has that kind of affection
for you and fidelity to you.
Bike the shade of a great tree in the
noonday heat, is a friend.
Bike the home port, with your coun
try’s flag flying, after long journeys,
is a friend.
A friend is an impregnable citadel of
refuge in the strife of existence.
It is he who keeps alive your faith in
human nature—that makes you believe
it is a good universe.
He is the antidote to despair, the
elixir of hope, the tonic of depression.
When you are vigorous and spirited
you like to take your pleasures with
him; when you are in trouble you want
him near. .
You give to him without reluctance
and borrow from him w ithout embarass-
ment.
If you live fifty years and find one
absolute friend you are fortunate.
