Representative From

Long Story.
Bosom friends for 28 mn, plny-

and sorrows, sod helping ssch other In
•••curing political preferment at the
hands of their people, W. J. Flanders,
representative from Johnson county, a
dentist and former Methodist minister,
and Judge A. F. Daley, formerly of
the state superior court, and now pres
ident of the Wrlghtsvllle and Tennllle
railroad, are today bitter enemies.
The sensational Incident In the house
Monday, when Mr. Flanders asked Oar-
nett Qullllan to leave the chamber,
was one of the many startling happen
ing. that have grown out of the feud
between Judge Daley and the gentle-
m.in from Johnson, who first disagreed
ten years ago, when, Mr. Flanders
claims, he won a suit In court, with
Judge Daley aa the opposing council.
According to Mr. Flanders, a love af-
fair between Mias Pauline Daley, Judge
I'« ley's daughter, and an Atlanta man,
Ed L. Humphries, years ago, was really
t"- first »«u.s .,f tf.« trouble, which
h» I been only suggested by the trial
. mentioned.
Mr. Flanders gave to The Georgian
a complete history of the trouble be
tween himself and the Daley faction,
s ardlng to which Judge Daley's
•daughter was receiving attention from
Mr. Humphries, whan It bscatus poised
through Wrlghtsvllle. a amall elty, that
the Atlanta lover was already a .bene-
dh I On hla neat visit to Wrlghtsvllle
llumphrlaa was question by the Judge,
v ho. whatever the reply, forbade any
further attentions.
•Mr. Flanders was at this time post-
master of Wrlghtsvllle and aaye he was
requested by Judge Daley to lot him
know If his daughter attempted to
" rite to Mr. Humphries. Ho states
that n private box was rented In the
po,i office by Mlaa Daley, and that the
Judge was Informed of the fart, though
Mr. Flanders claims he aaked that the
> rung lady not be told that he had In-
formed her father of her secret cor
respondence.
A few days later Mlaa Daley met
ttie postmaster on the street, and an he
sold Tuesday morning, gave him n
tongue-lashing. Her mother became
iiit.ant, and Mr Flanders relates that
a. the letters did not atop going to the
Atlanta lovtr, Judge Daley, on learning
of it, supposed that hla friend had gone
back on him, and he, too, became cool
In Ida manner toward Mr. Flanders.
' From this followed many Ineldents

men grew In Intensity, until two yoars
Inter, In a quarterly conference. Rev.
A. r. Morgan, who was tbe pastor of
the Wrlghtsvllle church, refused to
pass the charcter of Mr. Flanders, the
liaison assigned, according to Mr.
Handers, being that the latter had ex-
pressed the opinion that ha was glad
• very time the aun went down, as It
meant one day loss that he had to
spend with him (Morgan) ns a pastor.
Judge Daisy was chairman of the
board of stewards of the church at the
time, and the presiding older was ller.
.1 If. Lovett, who was accused by Mr.
Flanders Monday morning of being Im
plicated In the attempt lo Injure hla
reputation. W. F. Qullllan was the
secretary of the conference. It la
• tainted by Mr. Flanders that secret
sessions were held by those man in an
attempt to gat hlfn out of the church,
ami that the records of the conference
were forged, for later, when the matter
was taken to the annual conference, ha
claims there was another record of the
meeting, while W. F. Qullllan admitted
thnt the corroct one was at hla homo.

Mr. Flanders says ha and Judge Daley
