certainly haven't enough sense to vote,
t tell you buttons up the back are foes
not only to common sense, but even to
liberty. Recently I had a tailor make

JUDGE BRAND ISSUES
. CARDjABOUT FIGHT
I Athena, Ga„ April 28.—Judge Charles
H. Brand, who has appealed from the
decision of the city court In the charges
growing out of an encounter wltr
John T. Anderson, has Issued the fol
lowing card:
“A Judge of the superior court owes
to the public Ihe ditty to obey the laws
which he has sworn to enforce. To
voluntarily engage In a street fight I*
unbecoming In a Judge and reprehenal-
bl*.
"However, the ancient and world
wide doctrine of eelf-defense guaran
teed to every cltlxcn of this common
wealth Is not forfeited because one Is
selected by hi* fellow citizens to ad
minister the laws and discharge the Im
portant and responsible duties of thl*
office. An officer has the right to dis
charge the duties of an office which ho
holds fit hla Judgment direct* and ac
cording to his own convictions, without
the humiliation of being called upon to
account therefor by any disgruntled
person who may differ from him.
”1 maintain that because I am Judge
of the superior court* of thll circuit and
because I saw fit to express my view*
upon a matter affecting the Interest Of
every taxpayer of Clark* county, for
which I apologize to no man, and with
which the grand Jury of Clarke superior
court, composed of taxpayer* owning
and controlling at least half a million
dollars, were In full accord, that I have
not thereby forfeited my right to walk
the streets of Athena unmolested and
without being called down by thoee who
differ from .me. ij
"The tribunal at.which to settle such
questions of difference Is the hatlot box.
When that time arrives I am ready to
go before the people with any dissatis
fied person In any and every portion of
this cotinty and let them hear the fact*
and render a verdict upon the Issue In
controversy. ' Such matters should not
bo and can not be settled by personal
Insults and personal assaults.
"Entertaining these views and con
scious of having offended no law, state
or municipal. In Ihe difficulty with Mr.
Anderson, which I was forced Into
against my will, I have pleaded not
guilty, and under this plea .shall ever
contend that Mr. Anderson provoked
this difficulty; that he was the aggres
sor: that hla conduct precipitated It;
that he accosted me on my way home
the second time before I answered hie
call; that he grievously Insulted me be
fore I ever used any offensive language,
and that he assaulted me before I ever
drew my knife, and that all I did In re.
ply to this unwarranted and unjusti
fiable attack was to defend my person
and my Honor, the latter being dearer to
me than wealth, position or any office
within the gift of the people."
