A Reply to Joe Brown.
In a public card, directed Dartlcularly
to ex-Governor Joseph M. Brown, Yol-
ney Williams, campaign manager for J.
Pope Brown, conies back at the former
governor’s statement of his position In
the gubernatorial campaign, made
public on Friday. Mr. Williams’ state-
.ment follows:
"Governor Brown In his four column
card, published In the morning Con
stitution, covers a big territory, jump
ing around'and over the questions in
volved in this campaign, and never
touches the real Issues but twice, and
thert very slightly. He takes para
graph after paragraph reciting and re
iterating the fact that he has faith In
the people of Georgia. Well, If there
is any one in Georgia who has not
faith In her people, he should at once
move out of the state.
"He touches on the liquor question
by saying that he will veto any legis
lation In favor of prohibition, but said
that the liquor question Is not an Issue
In this campaign. Governor Brown
does not seem to know anything about
the light that the National Model LI
cense league is making to kill prohi
bition In Georgla-^^M^^MMHMM
“Governor Brown says that the. par
doning power of the governor is the
real issue In this campaign. If this Is
the case, and the ex-governor Is stand
ing upon his record as a non-pardon
ing governor, he should tell the people
of Georgia why he granted 28 pardons
In whisky cases alone from July, 1909,
to April, 1911. He should also tell why
he pardoned the ' biggest blind ti-
.ger men in Georgia., Ho should also
I tell why he had to write to his friend
Pendleton at Macon to get his opinion
before he issued a pardon in one of
these cases, that Is the Graves case.
Ho should also tell why he pardoned
seventeen men at one time who were
guilty of violating the registration law,
which Is fhe safeguard against the cor
ruptlon of the ballot box.”
A Joe Brown Rally.
James L. Anderson will preside over
the Joe Brown rally at the Grand opera
house, next Tuesday night, when a- Ful
ton County Joe Brown club will be or
ganised. He participated In the man

GOV. NORTHEN MAY GET
HIS OLD POSITION BACK
Rumor Says Governor Slaton
Will Reinstate Him as Com
piler of Records.
Safely of the Estate
^ The prime factor in post-mortem administration ie the safety of
the estate.
The old method, before the days of trust companies, was to rely
upon the character and financial standing of the individuals appoint
ed as executors, supplemented in some cases by individual bonds.
Such appointment* have resulted in loss both from embezzlement
and dereliction of duty.
Safety from these hazards may be secured by appointing the
Trust Company of Georgia as executor, ite Capital and 8urplua
standing as a guaranty for the performance of ite duty.
Confer with our officer* in regard to the Management
of Property and the Administration of Estates.
Trust Company of Georgia
Capital and Surplus $1,650,000.00
W. J. Northen, former governor, may
be restored to his position as compiler
of colonial, revolutionary and Confed
erate records of Georgia, from which ho
was recently removed by Governor
Hoke Smith, after having been appoint
ed but a few months before by Governor
Joseph M. Brown, upon the death of
Allen D. Candler, former governor, vyjo
for several years has held the position.
A well founded rumor to this effect Is
going tho rounds at the capitol and has
even reached tho ears of Governor Sla
ton. Some action along this lino may
be expected from the new governor
within a few days, after he has had op
portunity to look Into the records In tho
matter.
One of tho final acts of Governor
Smith's administration was to make a
contract with Miss L. T. Henderson,
who had been the assistant In this
work to both Governor Candler and
Governor Northen, to complete certain
parts of the compilation by July, 1911,
and receive as compensation. 1750 for
her work. This contract Is one matter
that must be taken Into consideration
before any definite action Is taken by
Governor Slaton.

A DRAMA IN YIDDISH
NEXT MONDAY NIGHT
"The Converted Jew," by Karl Emil
Francoz, is to be played In Yiddish
next Monday night at the Atlanta the^
a pastor and the North Georgia con
ference one of Its most efficient work
ers as the result of a divorce suit filed
Friday by Rev. Ben Graham against
his wife, a bride of five months, Mrs.
Lorah Harris Graham.
Mrs. Graham's Insane Jealousy, both
of her husband's pastoral calls upon
feminine members of his congregation
and of his two children by a former
marriage, forms the basis of the suit.
Her outbursts have, according to the
petition, undermined his health to a
Po n ner vous collapse,
ency as a minister of
the gospel.
Before filing the petition Mr. Graham
resigned the pastorate of the St. James
church and' his resignation has been
accepted. His resignation as a member
of the North Georgia conference Is now
In the hands of that body and will
doubtless be acted upon within a short
time.
Because of the fact that Mr. Graham
never expects to enter a pulpit again
and must as a man In middle life carve
out a new career as a result of his five,
months matrimonial disaster, the case
wears a tragic aspect.
On June 10, 1911, according to the
petition, he married Miss Lorah Harris,
herself a daughter of a Methodist min
ister. Hardly had the honeymoon tor
sion, when he bent over to klas three
year-old Mary, his wife flew Into a vlo
lent passion and wished that the child
were dead. When he tried to quiet her,
he says, she screamed that she would
some day kill them both.
When he assumed his duties ss pas
tor of St. James church and visited the
members of the congregation as a part
of his work, she charged all manner
of things relative to hla visits to femi
nine members of the congregation,
finally forbidding him to make the
calls, It Is alleged.
On October 15, 1911, after ho had
returned from a number of calls, she
met him at the door and said she was
going to kill him, he alleges. Seizing
him by the arms, she shook him vio
lently and when he had twlited from
her grasp she ran to the yard at the
rear of the house, screaming. Before
all the neighbors and attracting a large
crowd by her cries, she lay on the
ground and screamed, refusing to be
quieted for several minutes.
Asserting that the humiliation re
suiting from her passions and the con
tinuous nervous strain and the distress
caused his children Is such that he
can no longer live with his wife,
asks the court for total divorce.

SPENDTHRIFT’S LAST DOLLAR
TELLS STORY OF TRAGEDY
passes from hand to hand could tell a
story of comedy or tragedy, of happi
ness or misery. But there Is a certain
one-dollar note which bears Its own
message of wealth, riotous living and
death—the Rake's Progress of the
Twentieth Century. It came to Dr.' O,
Lee Cheenutt, president of the Houth-
eastem Dental university. In the course
of business Friday. On Its reverse, In
the white space, was this Inscription,
written in a delicate hand:
“The last dollar of $250,000 spent
In fourteen months of high life. It
goes for arsenic to kill myself.
“JOHN HENDRIX.
“New York, 2-4-’10."
Whether there was a John Hendrix
who went to his end by the polron
route and whether he ever had the
quarter million referred to, might be
learned from the morgue records or
New York. But Dr. Chesnutt will
treasure the tattered dqllar note as a
