ON GEORGIA POLITICS
Governor Joseph M. Brown takes a
genuine delight in collecting things
quaint nnd curious, and particularly
those that tell of
jamm b xrvix
days in Georgia’s
political history
long dead and
gone.
As a matter of
fact, there are two
distinct and sepa
rate Joseph M.
Browns one is
the governor, who
knows he is the
governor, the de
light of his friends
and the despair of
his foes, and the
other Is a sort of
old-fashioned gen
tleman. rather in
clined to like old
fashioned ways
and old-fashioned folks—-an altogether
likable, interesting, and very much out
of the ordinary person, and one whom
the casual observer would not imme
diately set down ns the executive of one
of the great states of the nation
Knowing the governor’s weakness for
collecting the quaint and curious, as
aforesaid, some of his friends take
pleasure in helping him along in the
game, and one of them sent him the
other day a copy of The Atlanta Her
ald of January 6. 1883, which, besides a
complimentary write-up of the then
business man Joseph M. Brown, con
tains much that is Interesting—partic
ularly to Atlantans who recall the days
when The Herald flourished.
The paper was edited by Small (Sam
W.) and Williams (C. H.) It compares
in typographical appearance altogether
creditably with newspapers of today,
but its methods of handling the news
and its physical make-up ere things of
the long ago.
This particular newspaper, which
seems to have been a sort of special
edition, contains the pictures of many
famous Georgians, dead these many,
many years
There are pictures of Judge W. R.
Hammond. Stale Librarian F. L. Haral
son, Commissioner of Agriculture John
T. Henderson, ex-Governor Benjamin
Conley (who became governor when
Rufus Bullock, the last of the recon
struction governors, abdicated his hon
ors), Colonel L. P. Grant and such
well known associate railway mag
nates of the early days of railroading
in Georgia as E. P. Alexander, L. N.
Trammell. G. J. Foreacre, and E. W.
Cole.
Among the newspaper lights of those
days appear, with appropriate sketches,
the pictures of W. A. Hemphill, Joe)
Chandler Harris. Evan P. Howell, Hen
ry W. Grady, Charles H. Smith (Bill
Arp) and N. P. T. Finch.
Besides Colonel Trammell, whose pic
ture heretofore is mentioned, there are
the likenesses of Major Campbel) Wal
lace (whose descendant and namesake
is now the efficient secretary of the
commission) and former Governor
James M. Smith- and these three com
posed Georgia's first railroad commis
sion.
Other Georgians receiving honorable
mention in this issue of The Herald
I were Patrick Walsh, then editor of The
Augusta Chronicle, and afterward
United States senator from Georgia;
Senator Alfred H. Colquitt, a former
governor; Benjamin Crane, a pioneer
in the commercial activity of Atlanta,
and H. I. Kimball, the man who built
both the old and the present Kimball
House the greatest and grandest ho
tel in Dixie in the days of its (creator.
Under the head of "Personal Para
graphs," one may And in this old news
paper such items as these
“H. D, McDaniel (afterward gov
ernor) is at the Kimball
"General Phil Cook went to
Washington yesterday.
“General Jubal Early is at the

"Ed Cox, a distant relative of the
governor, was pardoned by Govern

Under another heading. "Talk of the
Town." it may be observed that things
then were not so different in Atlanta,
in some ways, from what they are to
day.
I The reader is informed that:
"Atlanta's harvest is mud.
"A mud scow passed up the ca

in front of the capitol.
'The voting today for constable

boat, using the telegraph line as a
hawser.
“The condition of the Alabama
street pavement, though only a few •
months old, will soon be as unde
sirable for a roadway as any other
of our miserable streets, it being
full of hog wallows the entire
length.”
From which few choice selections the
gentle reader will conclude, readily
enough, that the streets of the way back
yonder were some botchwork streets
themselves, here and there!
Among the advertisements appear
those of the DeGive Opera house (now
the Bijou) announcing the coming of
Frank Mayo in "Davy Crocket.” Katie
Putnam in "Lena, the Madcap," Char
lotte Thompson in “Jane Eyre,” Baker
and Farrow in “Chris and Lena,” and
Mme. Christine Nilsson in “one grand
concert,” assisted by Miss Hope Glenn,
contralto; M. Theo. Biorksten and Sig.
Giuseppe Del Puente.
P. H. Snook was selling furniture in
those days and advertising it heavily;
and Langston, Crane & Co were cotton
factors. James A. Anderson was sell
ing clpthing, but was stingy with news
paper space, only occupying some two
Inches to apprise the public of that
fact.
Apparently, the advertising game had
not yet become a big factor in the
commercial life of Atlanta, for the busi
ness ads are few and far between in
The Herald of 1883.
The only houses advertised in this
paper that still are engaged in busi
ness in Atlanta are Phillips & Crew,
piano dealers, and the National Surgical
Institute.
It Is interesting to note, from a read
ing of the railroad schedules printed,
that one might leave Atlanta at 1
o’clock in 1883 and reach Chattanooga
at 9 that night, if things went as they
were framed up to go.
Two or three of the editorial para
graphs will serve to show the temper
of the times some thirty years ago.
Witness these samples:
“General Grant Insists upon the
passage of a Nicaragua canal
scheme. First time we ever heard
of Grant being interested in a wa
ter scheme.
"While the legislature of Ten
nessee was considering an increase
in the state treasurer’s bond, he
quietly increased his salary to M’A'
000, and skipped to pastures new.
"It makes little difference to the
people of Georgia which faction
of the Republican party gets recog
nition in Washington. What we
want is an administration that will
not recognize either of them.”
The editors of The Atlanta Herald of
the 80's would have felt better, of
course, could they have looked forward
with prophetic eye to today, and the
certainty of an administration in
Washington guaranteed to "turn the
rascals out!"

mercury of a quarter grain each, taken
from his samples. He is in Sellers hos

"If I had had the proper support this
would not have happened. Do not
think me drunk; I am myself.”
Another note to a young woman with
whom he was in love, was withheld.

“She Hath Done
What She Could”
• • ..
A certain woman kept one of, if not, the largest houses on Me
chanic Street.
Her all was invested in it.
She saw it swept away by the order of Chief Beavers.
She was bewildered; her means of living gone and thousands of dol
lars lost.
WHAT COULD SHE DO?
Another woman, who, by hard work, supports herself and family,
offered her shelter in the name of Jesus Christ; the mother of the wom
an, who works, gave up her room that the woman, who had fallen, might
have a place to stay.
Jesus was calling her back to life.
Not without a struggle did she yield; restless, she went to Birming
ham to find a new place for her old business; she considered starting a
moving picture show.
She came back to the home of the woman who worked.
Jesus was calling.
And, after nights of fighting and prayer, she heard and obeyed.
A FEW DAYS AGO, WITHOUT A SUGGESTION FROM ANY
ONE. SHE CAME TO OUR OFFICE; SHE PUT TWENTY-FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS, ALL THAT SHE HAD, INTO THE HANDS
OF THE MAN IN CHARGE AND SAID: “I WANT TO GIVE THIS
TO JESUS TO START A MARTHA’S HOME FOR WOMEN AND
GIRLS.”
“What do you mean by a Martha’s Home?”
She answered: “A home where girls may be taught to serve, to
work honestly, to take care of themselves; a home to save them from
the hog’s life of the houses that I have known; a home where, whatever
has happened elsewhere, whatever others may say and do, those who
have fallen will know that shelter, kindness and love await them. And
I want to give myself with the money to help.”
Every obstacle short of a positive refusal to take her money was
placed by a committee especially appointed for the purpose in her
way; she was asked what she would do for a living in the event her con
nection with the home was severed, as its management would be whol
ly in the hands of those whom she could not control.
Her answer was: “Jesus will take care of me. I can earn a living
by the sweat of my brow.”
Long ago, in the house of«one named Martha, of another woman
who did a work of love for Him despite the sneers of Judas, who loved
the clink of gold, Jesus said: “She hath done what she could.”
And surely today He is saying of this woman in Atlanta, “She
hath done what she could.”
Have you, who li /e only upon your wages?
And you in moderate circumstances, have you?
And you in your ease and plenty, have you done what you could?
CONSIDER, NOT IN THE LIGHT OF WHAT MEN MAY SAY,
BUT IN THE LIGHT OF WHAT GOD HAS INTRUSTED TO YOU.
HAS HE GIVEN YOU THE ABILITY TO HELP?
One day, centuries ago, Jesus was seated by the treasury in the
temple.
“And there came a poor widow and she cast in two mites. He said
to His disciples, ‘Verily, I say unto you, this poor widow cast in more
than all they that are casting into the treasury; for they did cast of
their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had,
even all her living.’ ”
This woman of Atlanta, from bitter experience, knows that women
and girls have been lost, are being lost, and will be lost by the lack of a
refuge such as she has asked us to establish.
She does not give of her “superfluity.”
For Christ’s sake, she has given herself and her all to found and
maintain such a home.
What will you place beside her twenty-five hundred dollars? How
much will you give to help your fallen sisters?
“SHE HATH DONE WHAT SHE COULD.”
No one wishes, or will ask, you to do more than you are able.
BUT YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU CAN.
Do it now.
Mark your check or subscription “For the establishment and main
tenance of the Martha’s Home and Rescue Work Among Fallen Wom
en,” and send it today to the Men and Religion Forward Movement,
at the Young Men’s Christian Association Building.
This home will neither supersede nor interfere with the Harriet
Hawkes Home or the Florence Crittenton Home; but it will supple
ment their work, co-operate with them and do that which they are
neither expected nor able to do.
It will facilitate their work.
The Harriet Hawkes Home is t'o handle and save the wayward girl
who is on the brink, but not yet over, particularly those who have not
acquired a police court record.
The Crittenton Home is primarily devoted to maternity cases,
though always it offers help to the girl or woman who wants to reform;
but it is neither designed nor equipped for this.
THE MARTHA’S HOME WILL CARE FOR THOSE WHOM
THE WORLD CALLS HOPELESSLY LOST; IT WILL WELCOME
ALL WHO WILL COME.
Judge Broyles will be able to send there a girl or woman on proba
tion; the stockade would destroy her; to place her in a lodging house or
back in her old haunts would make all good advice a waste of breath.
But, under proper restraint, in a clean atmosphere, with women to
love and lead her, she may learn again her place in the world as one of
God’s children; she may be saved.
The Martha’s Home will do this.
YOU WILL HELP.
God’s Law of life and love at work in your heart, and not the writ
ten law of man, requires it.
This woman “hath done what she could.”
What will you do?
