STOPPEDjYGOVERNOR
Too Expensive, and Much of
Them Useless and of But
Little Interest to Public.
The compilation of Colonial, Revolu
tionary and Confederate state records,
begun by the !ate ex-Governor Candler
thru an act of the legislature and be
ing continued by ex-Governor Northen.]
was ordered discontinued by Governorl
Hoke Smith Saturday morning.
Governor Smith intimated sev-1
eral weeks ago that the compilation of
these records was too expensive for thel
state to continue, and his reasons foil
ordering the discontinuance arc set
forth In the following h-$t«i to GovJ
ernqr Northen: ■
Hon. W. J. Northen. Compiler. Colonial,]
Revolutionary and Confederate Rec-|
ordf. Atlanta.
Bear Sir: Since receiving your letter
of August 31, with reference to Colo
nial, Revolutionary nnd Confederate]
record a In which you state Hint you
are “not Informed us to the cost of pub.
li< ntl.ons, the physical condition of the
v domes accepted, or the disposition of
the books put on sale,” I received on
September 27 from the stnte librarian
a leport upon these subjects.
* The compiling nnd publication of the
Cclonisl. Revolutionary* and Confeder
ate lecords began In 1903, as the result
of an act passed by the legislature of
lifts, which provided that the com
piling and publishing should be under
the direction of the governor, and the
sutn necessary for the work to be paid
out of the funds received.In the treas
ury from, the sale of Georgia Reports
srd from the sale of Colonial, Revolu
tionary «nd Confederate record*.
.The report of the librarian 0llcln*e«
the fact that up to September 1.-1911,1
.the'coat of compiling*and publishing
Hies*- records had been 959,779.12. and
.the amount received from the sales of
• the same had been 11,997.05. The nam-
*ber of volumes published had been 24.-
U00. Those acid had been 1.411, Thom
'•distributed free 1.824. and those Mill on
.hand 29,795. which are stored in the
DRurtnent of the eapltol. I learn also
that a number of parties subsetiblng
for earlier volumes have dlseontinued
' their subscriptions.
In your letter, referring to colonial
’records, you say that "It Is not easy to
determine definitely the amount..>f
manuscript for this aeries now on lufnd
’and awaiting preparation and publica
tion. Aly best judgment Is there will be
about ten vylutnea.”
Of the Revolutionary record you say:
•Three volumes have been published
ami possibly matter will have to be
prewired for oni* more volume.”
Of-the Confederate records you say:
•"Finn?* Volumes have been published,
• •no volume Is now In the hands of the
urinter and there will be matter for at
least three more.”
I have examine,) the twenty-first vol
ume of the colonial record, the last
which has come front the printer. I
find that it consists principally of let
ters and short writings of little Impor-
tance from unknown persons.
‘ I, have examined the third volume of
the Revolutionary records nnd it seem*
to be sufficient to complete this aeries.
The laat-volume comes dow n t*» Feb
ruary. 1784, and, therefore, beyond tlu*
Revo hit Ions r>- period.
I have examined the fourth volume i>f
th^ Confederate records I And that it
rorges down to the year 1868 and nearly
half of the volume consist* of a re-
pubilcatlon of the journal of the con
stitutional convention of is*>:». As pub.
Hfshed copies of this Journal were al-l
ready In the library it hardly seemed j
necessary that the state should go toj
the expense of republishing it.
In view of the condition or the records
and especially of the small dehiand f*«.•
them and the very large cost to th**
state In excess of the amount received
from their sale. I am unwilling to take |
the responsibility of continuing longer i
their preparation and publication. So
Hr; as my official authority goes, I .-hall |
leave their further publication to tlmi
legislature. . j

Wants to Know Where Joseph
M. Brown Stands on Prohi
bition and Corporations.
The campaign of counter quest ions is
on. J. it. Smith's interrogations hurled
at Judge Russell and J. Pope Brown in
behalf of hi* candidate, former Governor
JoMoph M. Brown, have brought forth a
reply from Volney Williams, campaign
manager for Pope Brown.
Mr. Williams' card Is it
four questions which he pi
frnor Brown. These questions are based
n the prohibition issue, upon which
emor Brown has taken a personal po
sition. and the old rallrond commission
controversy, which formed the basis of
the Hoke Hmlth-Joe Brown feud.
Mr. Williams’ card follows:
"Our friend. J. H.-Smith, Who Is manag
ing former Governor Brown’s campaign,
has *een fit to propound questions to the
opposing candidates. This Is a new prece
dent, but Inusmuch us tho manager of
the opposing candidate inaugurated it
we will accept his challenge. Mr. Smith
nsks, What has become of the man with
the $100,000 who tried to bribe F*opc
Brown?

not slate Hie proposition fairly. It is
the first tfmo that wo have heard that
any one attempted to bribe Mr. Brown.

After a long hearing several
weeks ago In which Judge Claude Wal
ler, of Nashville, appeared for the N,,
O. A St. L., and Judge Hines and At
torney General Felder for the state,
which developed Into an argument over
legal technicalities, Governor Smith
took the matter under advisement.
The governor based his final deci
sion made Saturday upon the ground
that the'lease made the N., C. A St.
L. is amendable to the laws of Georgia,
and that the commission waa clearly
the stnte’a agents in the matter.
He takes lhe nosltlon that over the
Western and Atlantic railroad Geor
gia, thru Its commission, may originate
rates. If these rates conflict with the
Tennessee rulings the Tennessee rul
ings are undoubtedly paramount in
Tennessee. The ruling* of the Inter
state commerce ^oirnnlsslon are doubt
less superior in interstate business, but
the Georgia commission haw the right
to originate rates and enforce them
unless overruled as detailed above.

HOKE SMITH.
Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 21.—Laboring
men- haw called a mass meeting for
this afternoon, when the striking ma
chinists and clerks of the Illinois Cen
tral will lay their troubles before them,
with a request that they receive sup
port from every union man in the cltjr
and district. Fears of a general strike
are anticipated by all business firms
employing union labor. Rock Island
machinists and boilermakers employed
at Memphis by that railroad are
expected to strike not in sympathy
with the Illinois Central strikers, but
for an increase In wages.
The meeting today Is expected to de
termine Just what course the strikers
.will pursue. If they receive support
from other laboring men they will re
main out. If not the chances for im
mediate peace are brjght.
BERNHARDT CRITICISES
REPORT OF A MEETING
appearing In Friday’s edition of The
Georgian is responsible for the follow
ing communication:
"I beg to call your attention to the
story in the Friday edition headed ‘The
SSode Smith Meeting/ in which I am
quoted ns saying:
"’It is true that Park Woodward
opened some bids some ten days before
the coal bids were let, nnd cashed a
$500 check. The coal companv who de
posited the check with their bid to the
city got the contract. The tact of this
incident will shortly be aired before
the water board.’
“As|a matter of fact, I had been called
on# by several in the audience to ex
plain about the $500 check, and in re
ply I said that I doubted the propriety
of my discussing this hiatter before the
committee had reported to the board.
"But I understood that testimony to
this effect had been offered. In an
other paragraph you say Mr. Smith
went Into Atlanta's water history in
detail, dwelling on the Atlanta water
famine In 1907. Its causes and effects;
and in the same paragraph he Is ac
cused of charging Park Woodward with
the responsibility for the conditions of
1907. As a matter of fort, Mr. Smith
made no reference to Mr .Woodward
at any time during his talk, but 'balled
attention to ids own record, with the
hope that, it .Would Justify their confi
dence.
”1 wish to say that It has been the
policy yf Mr. Smith and his advisers to
conduct a clean, dignified campaign,
and we hope to continue this policy. I
will appreciate your giving this matter
space in your columns-as prominent a
place as the article referred to.
"Thanking* you for your interest In
the matter, I aiu,-Very truly yours,
"CHARLES W. BERNHARDT."
