THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
FLANDERS TELLS
WHY HE ATTACKED
GARNETTOUILLIAN
Representative From
Johnson Recites
Long Story *
• Bosom friend* for !i years, play
mates, confidants, sharing their Joys
and sorrows, and helping each others
*• uring political preferment at the
hand* of their people, W. J. Flanders,
reieesentatlv* from Johnson county, a
dentist and former Methodist minister,
and Judge A. F, Daley, formerly of]
t -the state superior court, and now pres
Ident of the Wrlghtavllle 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
ings that have grown out of the feud
between Judge Daley and the gentle
man from Johnson, who first disagreed
ten year* ago, when, Mr. Flanders
claims, he won a suit In court, with
Judge Daley as the opposing council.
’ ,} According to Mr. Flanders, a lov* af
fair between Miss Pauline Daley, Judge
Daley's daughter, and an Atlanta man,
Ed I>. Humphries, yeurs ago, waa really
the first cause of the trouble, which
had 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,
'according to which Judge Daley's
daughter wss receiving attention from
Mr. Humphries, when It became nolsad
through Wrlghtavllle, a small city, that
the Atlanta lover was already a bene
dict. On his next visit to Wrlghtsvlll*
Humphries was question by the Judge,
who. whatever the reply, forbad* any
further attentions.
Mr. Flanders was at this time post
master of Wrlghtavllle and says he was
requested by Judge Daley to let him
know If his daughter attempted to
write to Mr. Humphries. Ho states
that a private box waa rented In the
postofflee by Miss Daley, and that the
Judge was Informed of the fact, though
Mr. Flanders claims he asked that the
young lady not be told that he had In
formed her father of her secret cor
respondence. *
A few days later Miss Daley met
the poatmaster on the street, and so he
said Tuesday morning, gave him a
tongue-lashing. Her mother became

■litsant, and Mr Flanders relates'that
ns the letters did not atop going to th*
Atlanta lover, Judge Daley, on learning
of It, supposed that hla friend had gone
bark on him, and he, too, became cool
In hla manner toward Mr. Flanders.
From this followed many Incidents
by reason of which tha hatred of these
men grew In Intensity, until two years
later. In a quarterly conference. Rev.
A. F. Morgan, who was the pastor of
the Wrightsvllle church, refused to
pas* th* charcter of Mr. Flanders, the
reason assigned, according to Mr.
Flanders, being that the latter had ex
pressed the opinion that he waa glad
every time the sun went down, as It
meant one day less that he had to
spend with him (Morgan) as • pastor.
;• Judge Daley was chairman of tha
board of stewards of the church at the
> time, and the presiding elder was Rev.
J. M. Lovett, who waa accused by Mr.
Flanders Monday morning of being Im
plicated In the attempt to Injure hla
reputation. W. F. Qullllan waa th*
secretary of tbe conference. It Is
. claimed by Mr. Flanders that secret
sessions were held by these men In an
' attempt to get him out of tha church,
and that th* records of the conference
- were forged, for later, when the matter
was taken to the annual conference, he
claims there was another record of th*
• meeting, while \V. F. Qullllan admitted
that the correct one was at hla home.
As a result of this tight In the church,
Mr. Flanders says he and Judge Daley
were not on speaking terms. They
had an agreement that they were to
. take different aide* of th* street In go-
: lng to their nfRces, and Judge Daley
c a* not to pass the house of the repre
sentative*. Both, Mr. Flanders says,
went armed frequently.
Then followed the 250,000 libel suit.
Instituted by Mr. Flanders against
Judge Daley, In which a verdict was
'gained In the superior court by Judge
Daley, but the decision was reversed
by the supreme court, and th* case will
again be tried by tha lower court.
The introduction of a bill by Mr.
Flanders to Incorporate Nanny Lou
ivarthen Institute In a public school
system waa In direct opposition to th*
wiahea of the Daley faction In John-
*.>n county, and this move on Mr.
Flanders' part did not tend to heal over
fhe dlsruptured conditions In Johnson
county.
Last year, during the legislature, Mr.
Flanders claims, men were sent to the
house by Daley to watch him In an ef
fort to get something against him. This
was kept up during th* entire session,
and on on* occasion, Mr. Flanders says,
he slapped on* of these emissaries In
the face. This year, he claims, Garnett
Qullllan was sent her* as the agent of
these men, and declared that he would
no longer stand the persecution and at
tempt to blacken his character, and for
that reason asked that he be ejected
from the house.
Judge Daley Makes Statement.
Spec lal to Th* Georgian.
Wrightsvllle, Oa, July 10.—Owing to
the prominence of the parties named
In the sensational charge of Repre
sentative W. J. Flanders, It Is causing
letch comment here. Trouble started
several years ago, when Mr. Flanders
was expelled from th* ministry' and
l'wmbershtp In the Methodist church.
Hu!’, was entered against Judge A. F
Daley for 120,000 for damages, the
record of which Is In both supreme and
superior courts. The Nannie Lou War-
then Institute Is under the supervision
of the South Georgia conference. Be
low Is the exact statement of Judge
A. F. Daley:
“I cannot obtain my consent to place
myself down to the level of a personal
controversy with W. J. Flanders. Hla
attacks on me and the other gentlemen
named are unfounded In fact or reason,
anil can only be attributed to an Insane
desire on his part for notoriety.'*

Senator Craifford Wheatley's bill to
provide Georgia with a lieutenant-gov
ernor passed the senate Tuesday morn
ing by a vole of 12 to 2, after a fruit-
*# tight, led by Senator B. S. Miller.
Senator Wheatley's measure la In
the form of live separate bill*—three
of them providing for constitutional
amendments.
Immediately after passage In tbe
senate the bills were transmuted to th*
house. Senator Wheatley feels assured
that th* house will give practically
unanimous approve!.
After passage In the houee, the ques
tion will be submitted to Ibe people for
ratification at the October election.
Senati>r Wheatley'* bill creates tbe
offlre of lieutenant-governor, who will
be president of the senate fluring the
session*. The salary Is fixed at |<00
per annum.
The lieutenant-governor la required
to reeld* In Atlanta only during the
sessions. He will, In Uie event of the
death, absence or Inability of the gov
ernor, perform the functions of that
office. Election la to be as for oth*
officials.
Senator Wheatley was warmly con
gratulated on bis victory.
Wheat ley Speaks.
When Senator Wheatley's lleuien
ant-governor bill cam* up as the spe
cial order the able young atateeman
from the' Thirteenth made a very
strong argument for Its passage.
He pointed out the large num
states that have provided for II
nnt-governor*, and how Georgia Is lag
ging behind in this matter. . Senator
Wheatley was given close attention
during hla speech.
Miller Oppotee It.
Senator B. S. Miller opposed the bill.
He said hla objection was based on the
Idea that no man ought to preside over
the senate who le not elected by that
body.
He said that If the bill paseed, th*
lieutenant-governor would begin build
ing up a machine to place himself In
th* gubernatorial chair.
"Governor* don’t die In Georgia,'’ he
thundered.
"Has Senator Miller forgotten th*
days of Alexander Stephens?"
“My memory doe* not run as far
back as the distinguished senator’s."
When Senator Miller declared that
he objected to a man not elected by

the senate presiding over that body,
and stand In line for the gubernatorial
succession. Senator Wheatley arose
and with aom* heat demanded:
Tried to Trap Miller.
"Is not the gentleman now actively
supporting for governor the man who
presided over th* senate for four
years?"
"But all presidents of the senate are
not candidate* for governor," was the
retort.
"1 Insist on the senator answering
my question," said Senator Wheatley.
"As that I* purely a personal quss
tlon, I don't think It Is germane to this
discussions,” stated Senator Bunn.
Senators Bunn, Candler. Bond and
A. O. Blalock all spoke In favor of tbe
bill.
Senator Miller again arose to preen
hie point, and stated that tha constitu
tion provided for the secretary of state
to serve In the event of the death of
the governor.
Miller for th* Job?
"Will the senator read that section?"
requested Senator Retd.
"I can't llnd it," said Senator Miller,
amid laughter.
In a colloquy between Senator Mil
ler and Senator Candler, the- latter
•bowed that the eecretary of atate
could not serve.
"But It doesn't aay th* secretary of
atate shall not serve," Insisted Senator
Miller.
''Nor does It say a Justice of the
peace shall not," replied Senator Can
dler.
In prefacing hie advocacy of the bill
Senator Hand said:
"When I studied the provisions of
this bill nnd found It good, I began
mmmv*r person for
looking about for the proper person for
the place, and the galfant figure of the
handsome senator from the Twenty-
fourth (Senator Miller) came to mind.”
On the vote for passage It passed—
22 to I. The opposing senators were
Senators Adams, Grayblll, King, Miller
and Steed.
On the paseage of the kindred meas
ure* the vote wah unanimous for them.

Striking Contrast in Attitude of
U. S. Government in Charging
$7,600 for Certain Recordi.
WITH FALLIERES
Ex-Governor Candler, In speaking of
his work of compiling the Colonial,
Revolutionary and Confederate records,
Incidentally mentioned that the British
government gave him, without heslt*
tlon, permission to have mode copies of
all records and documents relating to
Georgia now In the public records of
fices In London, while the United States
authorities refused to allow him, or the
roster commission, to make copies, at
the state's expense, of the muster rolls
of the Georgia regiments engaged In
the war between the states now In
the war office In Washington.
Even the governor made to the sec
retary of war an official appeal for
copies of the rolls of forty-live organi
sations, In all about 225 rolls, and was
Informed that he could secure them
only by depositing In advance with the
disbursing officer of the war depart
ment 27.500, when they would be made
during the regular hours by the regu-
clerlcal force In the department,
umably when tl.ry were not needed
Heir ordinary duties In the depart
ment. The price named la about flfty
times as much per roll as It has cost
to copy the rolls In the capitol.
When asked why the British rov
eminent has been so much more liberal
with the state than that of the United
States, he said:
"Heavens only knows. It would seem
that the United 8tatea, which was th*
victor In the war between the states,
could well afford to be as generous to
ward Georgia as Is tbs British gov-
