J. Pops Brown In the Georgia egislature when the Rush-Willingham mtl-barroom bill was pending there in 895—-especially at the alleged state- OWt of Mr, Willingham that Mr. Irown opposed Die bill. I am mir- rlsed because the record of the vote bill is HO easy of access that I sn't see how any controversy could rise over It. Without any desire whatever to take *rt In this dispute or to figure in tho •resent campaign for governor, I desire » a simple act of justice to Mr. Brown, or whom I sitter tain the highest p* r- onal and political regard, to say that • a member of that legislature 1 re member very distinctly the very post* lve •tend taken by Mr. Brown In favor r this bill, which was then the most dvanced step taken by the prohlbl- lonlsts of the state.

That truth is stranger than Action Is shown by this example of undying ap preciation. R. R. Foot was the lawyer who had successfully defended the friendless boy that day In Oklahoma; W. C. Cole was the boy. As they shook hands after their first meeting, the boy vowed that he would repay the debt if it took a hundred years. “Hope I’ll need you some day,” laughed the lawyer, and then they parted, passing, aa It seemed at the time, but of each other’s lives forever.

The jury had returned “guilty" to ten counts, accusing him of defrauding descendants of Cherokee In dians out of money, while posing as a government agent. He was sentenced by Judge Newman to ten yqars and ten days Jn the Federal prison at Atlanta. h** listened t.» tbs sentence In silence and turned In helpless submission to the deputy marshal who was waiting to take him to prison. He was a felon and friendless. He could think of no friend to whom he could appeal for a continuance of the fight he had made for freedom. Far thest frAm his mind was the freckle faced boy he had befriended In Okla homa years before. • But the freckle-faced boy had not forgotten. Moving from place to place, he had finally settled In Russellville, Ark., where, entering Into business, he had prospered until he Is now one of the richest and most Influential men In the state. There, during the years that brought with them wealth and position. Cole thought often of the days gone by, and standing out In the veil of the past he'could always see the lawyer who had come to his assistance when he had so sorely needed aid and who had really started him on tho road to his present prosperity. It was his fondest hope to find this man and repay the great debt ho owed him. About a year ago word came In an unaccountable way that the man he hoped to find was In trouble. Cole at ence made Investigations and found that Foot was serving a sentence In the Fed eral prison at Atlanta. Client Goes to Rescue. A week later Cole had placed his business in the hands of a partner and was on the way to Atlanta, hero to re main until he had secured Foot’s free dom and repaid the debt.

Thero are no provisos or Btrlnga at tached to It. The warring chieftains shook hands and the powerful carpen ters organization with 200,000 members and its 55,000,000 In the treasuries of Its local unions can go back to the building trades department. The building trades committee report come In after the conclusion of tho ad justment committee’s settlement of many grievances. The report of Chairman James O’Connell’s adjustment committee was continued Saturday morning. A Bght among tho longshoremen on a jurisdic tional dispute occupied over an hour's time. Despite tho fact that the building trades committee follows tho recom mendation of the executive council, to reinstate the carpenters and Joiners Into the building trades department, there is a probability that the carpenters will not participate in the meeting of the building trades department hero next week. W. D. Huber, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, said at noon that ho and Frank Duffy, tho International secretary, would re turn to Indianapolis Monday and would not attend-the session of the building trades department. "Tho delegates of the carpenters to the American Federation of Labor are a different set of delegates to those elects ed to the building trades department," said Mr. Huber. “The delegates to the hulldlng trade, department arc not hero for next week’s convention and I do not think will be here. ’’As to tbe action Saturday -of the building trades committee reinstating the carpenters, we wiii n-po. - : I. to our executive hoard and put-It up to them.

Daniel Tobin, president of the Interna tional Brotherhood of. Teamsters, said the executive council Is not carrying out the, principles Of the American **- teratlon of Labor. If I am a member Of this committee next year, and It Is reported either teamsters or brewery workers have vlolntcd the decision of the executive council, I will urge that the charter of one or both be revoked." said John Golden of the adjustment committee. "Whatever excuse or argument there may have been In the past for two oiv ganlzatlons In one craft,' such argu ment nnd excuse Is now obsolete. The time has now arrived for the A, F. of L. to declare Itielf. Big ak this coun try Is, It Is not big enough to hold two organizations of the on? erdft. • Apd It asks the thlrty-Arat annual conven tion of the American Federation of Labor to go squarely on record Instruct ing the president to carry Into effect the principles and purposes of this resolution—one craft and one organiza tion," was the concluding recommenda tion of the adjustment committee. At noon the tip was very strong that Rochester, N. Y.. would win'out over Richmond, Seattle and Butte for tho 1012 convention. As Rochester lost tho convention to Atlanta last year, that city now has many champions for the 1012 honor. candidates for fraternal delegates to Great Britain and Canada have been discussed.

If You Didn’t Pay Taxes Before July 10 You Can Not Vote for Governor. Registration for tho gubernatorial primary will cease Saturday after noon at 5 o’clock. At this hour tho books in the office of the Fulton county tax assessors will bo closed by order of the board of registrars, nnd those who fall to get under the wire will not be rible to partlclpnto In the special election for governor. Despite the confusion that has arisen on nil sides over tho registration law for tho special election, Tax Collector Andy Stewart says that tho registra tlon will be heavy. Indications are that fully lG.nuo vut.’is m Fulton county will have qualified when tho books are closed. Will Throw Out 1,000 Votes. Some 14,100 voters were registered in the recent charter election, and the majority of these will be eligible with out further registration. But under the recent opinion given by Attorney General T. S. Felder, about 1,000 of these votes will be thrown out. This will be dono as the result of a recent order of the board of registrars. The board, composed of W. M. Scott, A. L. Holbrook and J. W. Gaines, will meet In the tax assessors' office and go over the lists of the voters regis tered, throwing out all whose taxes for 1910 and back taxes had not been paid prior to July 10, 1910. The constitution of Georgia requires that taxes for the year previous bo paid at least six months prior to a special election. Under this rule at least 1,000 votes are expected to go. In the tax assessors' office there Is no confusion. It Is merely a question aa to whether 1910 taxes were paid prior to July 10, 1911. 4 . The registration In the country dis tricts has been heavy for an off year. And, with ten wards and fourteen mili tia districts to be consolidated, with the necessity of throwing out at least 1,000 votes, the exact registration will not be announced until next week.

Dr, W. C. Bryant, of Camp Yonah, Ga., secretary of that association, on Sat urday filed a petition with Chairman C. .Murphy Candler of the commission asking that the case bo ^reopened. Chairman Candler told Dr. Bryant that he would present this petition to the commission at its next meeting, on De cember 4, and at that session it would be determined whether another hear ing cojild bo granted. The opposition to the granting of this approval of tho stock and bond Issue Is on the ground that the proposed combination will creato a water power monopoly, spreading even beyond Georgia Into South Carolina and other neighboring states. Furthermore, the contention Is mado that the project does not warrant such an enormous capitalization on which the people of Georgia—the ultimate consumers— would bo required to pay heavy Inter est and dividend charges.
