In refusing to have anything
to do with that rally in Atlanta
Friday night last, Joe Brown
showed what a sensible man he is.
At tpe mention of his name
hisses were heard and otherwise
some of those in attendance
showed their feeling against him.
Had he been present , every possi¬
ble means of humiliating bin
would doubtless have been resor
ted to.
The rally was gotten up bv
those opposed to Brown, and he
did the proper thing in refusing
to be present. The Atlanta
Journal for some time bus been
during him to come out and show
himself. Ilad he gone out Friday
night, he would have been ex
tremly sorry unless he has the
skin of an elephant.
Joe Brown has shown his eom
mon sense a mimber of times,
but that his head is level was
never more forcibly shown than
in his failure to attend that rally
in Atlanta Friday night last.
