From Valdosta Times. In order to ascertain whether or not Mr. JosephM Brown is as bad a man as some of his opponents make it appear, a gentleman here wrote to Rev. John E. White, of the Second Baptist Church of Atlanta, to find out something about him. ‘Dr. Whites reply makes interesting reading, and is as foilows: “My Dear Sr: I am in receipt of your letter of the 13th instant, making inquiry of me as the pastor of the Second Baptist church, At lanta, coucerning Hon. Joseph M. Brown accompanied by the state ment that reports are being circulat ed in your country to the effect that he is an immoral man and a whisky man. Ido not feel that I should hesitate a moment inanswering your letter with frankness. Such reports abovt Mr. Brown are utterly false. He is 2 member of the Second Bap tist Church, Atlanta. not only in or dinary good standing, but in the particular high esteem ot all ‘who krowv him. He is 2 modest, earnest and unostentatious Christian. No breath of immorality or wrongdoing has ever, so far as I have heard or so far as the people of the Second :Baptist Church have heard, beeni -attached to hisname. He 15 lare est individual €ontribntor to mis “sions in the Second Bantist chm‘ch% and has been for many vears, gl-‘ though his residence was in Man _etta, Ga. Only very recently he RN T SO\ el SOl L “”3’ £y dere T 2 “cer endowment fund, Mr. Brown's record on the prohibition question 1s well known in Fulton County, he stood with Henry Grady and Dr, Hawthorne in their campaign. Dr, Hawthorne is my authority for this fact, ant many others Identified with the leadership of that campaign on the prohibition side. Peculiar significance was attached to his ~ stand because of the fact that he was against hs father and other members of his family in obedience to his personal convictions that pro hibition is right. “[ am also in possession of the intformaticn that he has always steadily refused to rent his private and personal property for saloon pur poses in Atlanta although he owned property constantly in demand for such purposes at a very much higher rate of rental. | *‘Personally, T believe from what I know of Mr. Brown’s character, conduct and coanvictions., that the interest of prohibition can be safely trusted to his hands. Of any other issue 1n the campaign I have noth ing to say. I am merely desirous in answer to your letter that the false reports which you say are be ing circulated concerning Mr. Brown may have a positive denial from his pastor. I am, sincerely yours, Joun E. WHITE. All teachers or applicants for li cense to teach in the common schools of this connty are required to atiend the teachers’ institute which converes here on Saturday, June 13th and closes on June 18th. We expect a good attendance as the institute will be held just prior to the examination and offers some good advantages to all teachers and especially those who intend taking the examination. Now, we especially insist on a good attendance as the law requires all teachers to attend. We trust that our teachers will show more interest in fhis work than heretofore. Very truly, L. E.

SMITH WAS HAPPY ~ WHEN SIGNING '~ PROHIBITION 4 BILL. lm: ADDRESSED A LARGE AUDIENCE LAST NIGHT AND HIS“"SPEECH WAS WELL RECEIVED, HE HAD SOME WARM ALLUSIONS FOR EDITORS WHO ARE AGAINST HIM THIS YFAR, Agusta, Ga,, Mav 11—Gov Smith ' arrived in Agusta this morning shorts, ly before 7 o’clock, -via, the Georgia Railroad. Nobody met him at the' train, and he went alone to the Al bion Hotel. Later in the day many friends called upon him and it was explained that Agusta’s seeming lack of courage was due to the fact that the Governor was ;’éxpecl‘e‘fl to arrive on a later train, for which a recep tion commitiee was @rganized About g o’clock tonight the cur tain rose at the Grand Opera House showing Gov Smith and about nine ty citizens of Agusta on the stage with some 1,200 people occupying the house. Mr, E. F. Verdey, act ing as chairman, introduced Rodney S. Cohen, Esq., who, in turn, intro-i duced the Governor. % | Along its general lines thie speech 1 was the same Gov. Smith has been delivering at other places, but he in jected some new matter and made numbers of local allusions. Qutlin= ing his stand-on prohibition, the speaker said he was prohibition i his own county and for local optiri%‘ throughou/t the state, but' he had said he wounld sign a state prelibition figl,’_jtit was passed, and that he PO, DAY. While Gov. Smith was ralking along these linesa voice from the gallery criad out: ““And this is the happiest day of my life,” , Pointing his finger straight at the man Who had interrupted him Gov. Smith said: “The man who says that lies. [lhe man who said that lied. and he knew he lied. I never said 't was the happiest day of my lite when I signed the prohibition bill. What I caid was simply that the bill had passed and ‘was now law.” : The men in the gallery answered: 1“Well, the newspapers said you did.” “Yes, and they lied.” replied the ‘Governor, and added that no man had ever dared to come to him face to face and say the report was true. DID HE SAY IT OR DID HE NOT? If Governor Smith did not say, when signing the prohibition bill, **This is the happiest day of my life” why did he let the assertion remain so long uncontradicted? Why, when Mr, Brown announc ed his candidacy for governor, did Mr. Smith try to make us all believe that he was the only true and safe man to be elected as governor of Georgia to protect the prohibition cause? Why, after doing all this, did he in his speech in Augusta on May Irth, braad newspapers and everybody else who 1s not for Smith for governor, as liars? Will candidate Smith please ex plain? The fact is, Governor Smith has lost his head, and ‘“Wliom the Gods would destroy thev first make mad,” The World’s Best Climate is not entirely free from dicease, on the high elevations fevers pre. vail, while on the lower levels mala ria 1s encountered to a greater or less extent, according to altitude.

' ' JOEBROWN ON ORATORY | *‘l will candidly confess that [do not claim to have been gifted by Providence with an orator’s voice, whereby I could be heard by throngs in the open air or in large halls.

Heretofore, in nominating a can didate for Governor, the state has adhered to the constitutional meth. od All the counties were equal, ex cepting that to the six largest and the twenty-six next largest were giv en the constitutional allowances of advantage. : But under the new rule the coun ty units are ignored and the majori ty vote will rule, no matter how mbch of that majority may be con centrated in a few big cities. The practical effect will be that Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and Savannah will each have twenty or thirty times the vote of many smaller counties, in stead of having (in conventions) only three times as much, as pre scribed by law and nrecedent. To clinch the advantage of the majority, those counties which vote for the losing candidate are to have their convention delegates chosen by the successfnl candidates. Thus, the minority counties are not to be allowed to choose their own 'dele gates at all! Minorities are to be obliterated— deprived of voice, vote and repre sentation, Is that the kind of home rule you expected to get from Hoke Smith? - NOTICE.
