Farewell Mes-
Gov. Browns
\ sage.
Governor Joseph M. Brown’s
retiring address to the people
just before the inuaguration cere
monies Saturday was as follows:
“To The People of Georgia:
“In retiring today from the
high office to which you elected
mein 1908, I extend to you my
heartfelt thanks for the kind
consideration which caused you
to so greatly honor me. During
t!ie past two years, without re
gard to party or factional align
ment,! have met with naught which
contravened courtesy from anyone
with whom I have associated
in official or social relationship.
This but proves that our people
hold in honor their' highest office
and him upon whom they have
conferred it.
“It is not for me to multiply
words in this hour, but there are
two things upon which I pass a
word, viz: the enforcement of
the laws and the education of our
youth.
“It has been said that the shad
ow of Rome was in every ancient
house. So let it be said that the
shadow of the laws of Georgia is
in every home in her borders.
ThAt shadow means protection to
all . who do the right, but penalty
to those who violate the laws.
“And since it may be asserted
that in Georgia froi%the cottage
go the orders to the palace, it is
of vital need that the cottage
be the abode of equipped intelli
gence.
“As I today step up into the
ranks of the masses I pray that
you will receive me as one who
loves his fellowmen, as one who,
grateful for past* fa.^drS, stands- tq
co-operate with all who would
labor for the common weal in
those things which tend to virtue,
truth and peace.
“Your fellow citizen,
“JOSEPH M. BROWN,
“Atlanta, Ga., July 1,1911.”

Col.
“Sloan Introduced This
Bill Years Ago.
’ The bill of Speaker John N.
Holder, proposing an amendment
to the Georgia law, giving women
the equal right with men to prac
tice law in this state, calls to mind
the fact that in 1898, twelve years
ago last November, Col. W. B.
Sloan, at that time a representa
tive from Hall in the legislature,
introduced the same measure. It
was referred to the general judi
ciary committee and killed in the
committee room. Col. Sloan’s
Jbill was to amend the section of
law which provided that ‘‘any
male citizen of good moral char
acter, who has read law and un
dergone a ^satisfactory examina
tion, is entitled to plead and prac
tice law in this state,” by striking
tfie word “male” and thus allow
jng women to practice in >the
courts.
In speaking of the bill Col.
Sloan said: “This is not the only
bill lost to be resurrected upon a
popular wave. At the same ses
sion Mr. Hardwick’s bill to dis
franchise the negro was intro
duced and received but three
votes. Since then it has become
law.”
