Brown and Smith Declare Hart
Entry Makes No Differ
ence to Them.
REPORTS OF “FRAME-UP”
ARE VIGOROUSLY DENIED
Governor Brown Wires Paper
That Nothing Can Alter His
Decision to Make
the Race.
There was nothing to tt—to those
wild political rumors that swept ov4r
Atlanta and Georgia Monday after
noon, following the announcement of
Attorney General John C, Hart as a
candidate for governor.
Governor Joseph Brown Is In the race
to the llnish, ex-Governor Hoke Smith
Is In the race to the llnish, and Judge
Hart Is there for the finish also.
Those very Interesting rumors of In
side political deals whereby It was
stated at one time that there had been
a frame-up for Smith to retire from the
race (n favor of Judge Hart, and at
another time that Brown would with
draw and leave the Held to Smith and
Hart—all such rumors have been ef
fectually laid to rest.
Both Smith and Brown stated Mon
day that they were In the running un
til the end and both reiterated thell
statements Tuesday with emphasis.
In reply t6 a telegram from The
Pouglas Enterprise to Governor Brown
asking him to wire them that he was
still In the race. Governor Brown sent
the following Tuesday afternoon:
"Douglas Enterprise. Douglas. Ga.:
"Naturally I should havo preferred to
make the race without opposition, but
the fact that I am 1 to have three, or
even more, opponents can In no way
ntract my duty In the premises, which
Is the same now as It was when I sn
eered the people's call two years ago.
Of course nothing has altered or can
alter my decision to make the race
again nor have I any reason whatever
to fear the result of the people's ver
dict. JOSEPH M. BROWN.
"Atlanta, June 28."
A Lively Campaign.
With three leading candidates In the
race, the campaign assumes added In
terest, and from present Indications a
lively race Is to result, but it will ba
without much whoop and crash.
No speaking from Brown, but little
from Smith and not much talking by
Judge Hart—that's the announcement
so far.
Judge Hart states his ehlef Issue Is
reace and therefore he doesn't expect
to run the risk of stirring up dissension
and strife by overly much campaigning.
There was no formal campaign an
nouncements Tuesday from any of the
three camps.
At Judge Hart'e Office.
The office of Attorney General John
C. Hart, candidate for governor, was a
eceno of a continual stream of callers
Tuesday following his announcement
Monday. Judge Hart declares that he
has not yet outlined any campaign
plana, but will do so shortly.
He declares that It Is not his Intern
Mon to rake up Issues of any kind and
referred again to his slogan. "Peace
and Prosperity,” with the accent on
"peace.” Ho said It was not to be de
sired to stir up strife, but to proceed
along lines that would save the people
and voters of the state from a bitter
campaign.
The liquor Issue was suggested, hut
Judge Hart pointed out the fact that
one of his closest relatives was prest
dent o,f a Women’s Christian Tern
perance union chapter and that his po
“ttlon could not bo doubtod: that he
could not anticipate any action of the
general assembly, but could only act as
he thought right when presented with
measures passed by the legislature.
The $5,888,000 paid Into the state treasury by the people of Georgia last
year represents two days labor from every man, woman and child In the
•late, rating that labor flatly at SI each a day.
That sounds interesting, doesn’t It? And you very naturally want to be
sure that the other fellow Is made to'pay his share. '
But It's still more natural that you. who’ve got to pay your money any
way, should be concerned that the money you put In should be honestly and
Wisely spent.
It Is honestly spent—thnt we do not question.
But it is not wisely spent.
This Is why:
Last year the stale talae<j by taxation a little less than live and a half
millions from Its people.
And this year It Is putting two and a quarter millions, or half of that
whole sum. Into Its common schools.
This also is wise. Eor "what a nation wants In Its cltlsens It must put
Into Its schools." And If Georgia wants an educated and Intelligent body
of citizens, she must put money Into her schools—and ses that that money
Is wisely and efficiently spent.
Georgia Is not spending this money so as to get the best results.
She Is taxing every property holder in the state In order to maintain
ffee schools—and she Is allowing tho parents of 26,000 Illiterate white chil
dren to bring them up In total Ignorance. *
She Is spending half her revenues on a department of education for
whoso maintenance she allows only a pittance of $4,100—an amount only
$loo In excess of what Virginia pays a single educational official.
She .is supporting a state university and a common school system and
expressly providing by law that no penny of the common school fund can
be used to ihatntaln the high schools that are necessary to bridge the gap
betw-een.
She is grouping a number of overworked officials at the capitol—constl.
tilting them a state board of education—and expecting them to devote In
terest, specialized Information and freedom of judgment to carrying on the
educational affairs of the state.
She has thrown tho office of county school commissioner Into politics, so
that every county school commissioner In Georgia must devote part of the
time he should give to schools to seeking the suffrage of his fellow citizen*
She is doing this and a number of other unwise things, most of which
can be remedied by bills now before tho state legislature.
And these things affect every child In the state, every home In the
state, every pocketbook In-the state, and half the state's Income.
We believe you are Interested. We are going to tell you more about
these things, and we hope you will see things as we do.
Meantime, join us in telling our legislators—
GENTLEMEN. GIVE IIS EDUCATIONAL LEGISLATION!

10 BE BIGGEST EVER
The Georgia Poultry association met
In the Kimball house Monday after
noon to further complete arrangements
for the 1911 poultry show, which they
.Intend shall be the largest ever held in
tho South, and a show that will eclipse
any In the states of the North where
poultry breeding has longer held sway.
Tho tirst duty of the meeting was
the election of Judges for the show
next year. Considerable discussion
was had over the expense of bringing
the men nominated here to the show,
but the body voted unanimously at the
last to spare no expense In securing
Just those men In whom the poultry
ralseto had most confidence, and whose
presence would lend the association
and the show prestige.
Accordingly. Judge Emory, of Car*
thage, Mo.; Judge F. J. Marshall, of
Atlanta, and Judge Then Wittman, of
New York, were elected.
The question of coops was referred
to the executive committee, with In
structions to buy a sufficient number of
coops to accommodate the entries.
The question of the place to hold the
show was next In order, and It was
unanimously voted to secure the arena
of the big new Auditorium-Armory.
A National 8how.
The show this year will be a national
ffalr with exhibitors from all over
the country. Assistant Secretary Bacon
has received letters from the largest
breeders In the 1,’nited States prom
ising to send entries for the show and
Inquiring about details.
The effect of tho previous shows on
business in this section has been mark
ed. An Increase In sales of eggs and
fowls has been shown by almost every
breeder. Loring Brown, of Smyrna.
stated at the meeting that In the past
year he had sold $2,400 worth of eggs
for hatching to one purchaser, more
than double the amount he had ex
pected. Other breeders told of the In
creased business by the poultry shows.

Jarnay City, N. J.. June 28.—The pre
liminary hearing of Porter Chariton on
the charge of being a fugitive from Jua
tlce, wanted In Italy where he mur.
dered hie wife, was today postponed
until July by Judge Blair. The post
ponement was taken on the request
of'Charlton's attorneys.
Charlton, wearing a despairing look
and apparently suffering from hta con
finement, was brought Into Judge
Blair’s court with a number of petty
crlminale. , Following the granting of
hla lawyers' request, Charlton was re
manded to the Hudson county jail.
It Is believed that before the hearing
comee up again the question of his ex
tradition will have been settled. Out
of the present International muddle la
growing a belief that tie will not be
pxiradlcted and that he will go acot
free.
Altho Charlton sat In court with the
other prisoners, the proceedings by
hlch the continuance was granted
took place In chambers, end were not
heard by the prisoner. While they
were going on Chariton sat with his
face burled In his hands. He had ab
solutely nothing to say and did not
seem to take any Interest In what was
going on around him.
The conference was attended by G.
Dlronea, the Italian eonaul. Attorney
Smith, who Is the law partnsr of for
mer Senator Edwards, spoke In behalf
of Charlton.
"Your honor, we would like to have
this case put off until July," he said.
“There la certain evidence which we
deelre to gather and we desire also
to further familiarise ourselves with
certain details In this case."
"Is there any objection to a contln.
uance?” aakerl Judge Blair.
None whatever,” aald Prosecutor
Oarven.
"Are thero any motions?” asked the
court. The attorneys said thero were
none to be submitted. He then granted
ths continuance, after which Charlton
was led bark to jail.
So strange have Charlton’s actions
become during the last 24 hours that
his cellmate. Ullle Burke, a aafe-
hlower. asked that he be separated
from Chariton. His wife and children

Thu first thing a woman asks about butter is,
“Is it puref.”
Shi* very naturally wants to'know gomething
about the butter she places on her 'table for her
family to uoe. . '
A few cents a pound more or less is a small
matter to a woman where purity is concerned.
There are few foods which have the advertising possibili
ties of butter, yet about all that is ever said is that it’s “cream
ery” and is “28,” “30” or “35 cents” a pound, as the ease
may be. Nothing About purity, cleanness, sweetness, where it’s
made, or how shipped.
Mr. Butter Man, why don't you spread the truth about
your pure butter I
Here is the situation in this section:
There are thousands of families in Atlanta who use hotter.
How many use your butter!
How many would use your butter if they knew more about
it!
It costs money to spread the truth, of course, but it costs a
great deal less than you would think.
You pan talk pure butter to thousands of women every day
thru the advertising columns of The Georgian at a small cost.
Even if you look upon advertising as a risk, isn't that a
very small risk for a big possible gain!
We can furnish the advertising copy slid illustrations to the
butter man who can see the big possibilities in a pure butter
campaign.

As predicted In The Georgian, the
Atlanta city council, at a called meet
ing Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock,
gave attention to the voice of the peo-
plo and adopted a resolution rescinding
the action of Its former meeting. Citi
zens will now be given the privilege
of electing In the fall primary the eight
city officials which they have desired
to elect, twice voting for that privilege.
The resolution was Introduced by
Councilman Winn and Alderman Pom
eroy and adopted unanimously by tho
twenty members of council present.
It contained one qualifying provision:
"That general council shall have gen
eral supervision of the said officials
snd by a majority vote of the entire
council may declare vacant the office
of any of the officials of the city elected
by the people for a failure to property
perform their duties."
It was upon this point that many of
council voted yes. The members said
that they wanted the people to elect
as they saw fit, but In the past condi
tions had arisen when city officials,
elected by the people, but directed by
council, had not performed their du
ties satisfactorily. When reprimanded
by council they contended that they
were elected by the people and that
council could not Interfere. The abov*
clause provides for such a contin
gency.
When the vote was taken Alderman
Grant arose and said that he was not
present when council held Its last meet
ing.
“I do not think It Is a wise step for
the people to elect those officials, but
as the people have expressed their de
sire (o do so, Ivoto ypa." he said.
Alderman Candler made on eloquent
speech In explaining his vote.
"I cost my vote reluctantly,” said
Judge Candler ‘‘especially In regard to
allowing the city recorder to go before
the people. "I nnt not afraid of tho
strength of the people, but I am afraid
of the weakness of the officials. Espe
cially do I object to Judicial officials
being elected by the pcjple. No mat
ter how strong the official may be, he

Commission Government.
‘The pendulum always swings back
as far as It does out. Our action this
morning Is a step toward commission
government. We will live to see that
In a few years the pendulum will swing
hack and commission government will
be the result, which I have not yst
been mnde to believe Is the best form
of democratic municipal government.
"However, the main point of objec
tion to this amendment, giving the
people the right to elect. Is provided for
In this resolution. Council shall have
tho right of supervision."
Tho following aldermen and council-
men were present and voted for the
rescinding of council's former action:
Aldermen Pittman, Everett, Grant,
Cundler, Kelley, Johnson, Councilman
Boynton, Smith, I'hosewood, Harrison,
Vaughan, Warnock, Greer, Winn. Co-
field. Dent, Foster, Evlns and Minor.
The resolution Is here given:
"Bo It resolved by the mayor and
general council of the city of Atlanta,
That the resolution adopted by this
body on Juno 20, 1810, and approved
by the mayor June 24, 1810, In elimi
nating the city warden, the city elec
trician. the building Inspector, recorder
snd clerk of council from the provi
sions of the resolution and propoaed
charier amendment relative to the elec
tion of these nnd other officials by the
people, he, and the same la hereby,
rescinded and repealed, and the city at
torney Is Instructed to take such steps
as may be necessary to have the offi
cials herein named Included wjth the
other offlclals'ln the charter amendment
providing for their election by the peo.
pie.
“Be It further resolved by the au
thority aforesaid, That the city attor
ney be, and he Is hereby. Instructed
In prepare an amendment to the char
ter of the city of Atlanta providing
that the general council shall have
general supervision of said officials,
and by a majority vote of the entire
council' may declare vacant the office
of any of the offlclnls of the city elect
ed by the people for a failure to prop
erly perform their duties, or for any
other breach of duly on their part, all
to be In the discretion of the general
council. •
"Be It further resolved. That the
charter be amended so as to provide
that where an office has been declared
vacant as aforesaid that the city coun
cil shall call an election to be held
within 60 days to till such vacancy,
and In the meantime the council or the
hoard having charge of such matters
shall temporarily till said vacancy.
"Be It resolved further. That a copy
of this resolution, In so far as It pro-
for any amendment which has
I ready been communicated to the
representatives In the legislature, be
at once furnished the repreaentatlvee
from this county and the senator In
this district, snd that they be requested
to have all these provisions entered on
the , barter of the city of Atlanta."
James I- Key and Dr. A. L. Curtis
both stated after the action of council
that the mass meeting to be held In
the Auditorium would be held Tuesday
nlglu. and that there would ba no
hange In the program.
"We will have a committee.” said Dr.
Curtla “to go before the legislature and
urge that the amendment giving the
people the right to elect be paated.”
