J.P. BROWN TREASURER
Hawkinsville Man Succeeds Late
Treasurer Park.
MAY HOLD TWO YEARS
Mr. Brown Was Once a Member of the
Railroad Commission and is Widely
Known Throughout the State.
Atlanta, Ga. —Honorable J. Pope
Brown of Hawkinsville was appointed
by Governor Smith state treasurer to
succeed the late Captain Robert E.
Park, .the appointment having fol
lowed a conference between Mr.
Brown and the governor, in which the
former stated that he would accept
the office.
Than J. Pope Brown few men in
Georgia are better known. For years
he has been prominent in public af
fairs and at the time Governor Smith
made his first campaign he was a can
didate for governor. But, being in
sympathy with the governor, he with
drew and gave him loyal support. He
is one of the most extensive farmers
in the state and has a large planta
tion jn Pulaski county.
He was a member of the. old rail
road commission and it is said he
could have again become a member
at the time the commission was en
larged and appointments made by
Governor Smith.
The new treasurer will hold office
for the balance of the present term,
and, it is believed, he will continue
in office for the two-year term to
which Captain Park was elected at
NEXT TREASURER OF GEORCIA
HON. J. BROWN.
the last eletcion, but which does not
begin until Governor-elect Joseph M.
Brown is inaugurated. He will hold
office until his successor is elected
and qualified and his successor can
not he elected unless the legislature
orders an election for the purpose.
As such an election will cost in the
neighborhood of $15,000, there are
many who believe the legislature will
not take this step and that the ap
pointment now means an appointment
for the balance of this term and for
two years longer.
Mr. Brown will arrange within the
next few days to make his bond of
$200,000. which the law requires.
The office of state treasurer pays
$2,000 a year, and there is coupled
with it the position of state bank
examiner, the salary attached to
which is $2,500 a year. Out of this
the treasurer has to pay the fee for
his bond, which is S7OO.

Quarry Near Albany, N. Y.
Albany, N. Y. —Twenty men were
killed by a premature blast of dyna
mite in a stone quarry operated by
the Callanan Road Improvement Com

tims were hurled hundreds of feet by
the concussion and so badly mutilat
ed as to be beyond recognition.

GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS.
Farmers from Bibb, Baldwin. Jones,
| Wilkinson, Twiggs, Monroe, Houston
and Crawford counties met at Macon
to confer with regard to the final de
tails of the business plans for the
union warehouse that is to be con
structed and operated in Macon. A
large number of important business
matters were discussed and passed
upon, and within a short time plans
will take definite shape.
W. M. Potts of Rome, who was a
member of Company C, Twenty-fourth
Georgia, Cobb’s brigade, calls atten
tion to the remarkable record of hi,s
company. Out of an enlistment of
one hundred and thirty-six, thirty
nine are still living, and all of them
are more than 70 years of age. The
company left the old Mossy Creek
camp grounds in Floyd county in Au
gust of 1861, and served all throguh
the war.
An arrangement may be made be
tween Butts and Monroe counties
whereby Monroe county will w'ork
Butts county’s roads in exchange for
her convicts.
Under supervision of the street de
partment and city engineer, the city
of Albany has begun an interesting
experiment to determine whether it is
cheaper for the city to pave her own
streets than to have the work done
by contract, as heretofore.
R. G. Peters of Manistee, Mich.,
has bought ten thousand acres of iron
ore and timber lands near Rome, and
will construct a railroad to open the
property. Then he will build a big
charcoal smelter and begin to do bus
iness.
Rural routes ordered established in
Georgia: Desoto, Sumter county, route
2, serving one hundred and ninety
families; Milledgeville, Baldwin coun
ty, route 7, serving one hundred and
twenty-five families; Smithville, Lee
county, route 4, serving one hundred
and sixty-five families. Rural carriers
appointed: Brookfield, route 1, E. H.
Haisten, carrier; J. E. Palmer, substi
tute; Cedartown, route 5, G. M. Ay
ers, carrier; F. L. Ayers, substitute;
Thomasville, route 2, R. C. Groover,
carrier; H. F. Groover, substitute.
Postmasters appointed: Mineola,
Lowndes county, C. P. Brooks; Vin
ings, Cobb county, M. J. Robinson.
Honorable Thomas G. Lawson,
chairman of the board of trustees of
the state sanitariutoi at Milledgeville,
has been requested by Governor
Smith to make inquiry into the
charges which have been given public
ity regarding the conduct of certain
affairs at that institution. It has been
charged that the officials of the asy
’"m live off the fat of the land, while
the patients get the best they can,
and the Augusta Chronicle in an ed
itorial says an affidavit is in existence,
made by a woman, in which two very
grave charges are made. The edito
rial insisted that, an investigation
was necessary to either exonerate the
officials or show the truth of the
charges. The letter recently written
by Dr. S. W. Arrowwood, of Atlanta,
calling attention to a broken skull of
a patient who died in the asylum, also
figures in the case.
Captain W. H. Harrison of the
state comptroller general’s office has
completed a statement showing the
condition of the state treasury up to
the day of the death of State Treas
urer R. E. Park. This statement cov
ers the receipts and disbursements
for the first ouarter of 1909, for the
month of April, and for the first week
of May up to the 7th, and shows that
the net balance in the treasury on the
day of state treasurer’s death was
$730,754.23. These figures, from the
comptroller general’s books, tally ex
actely with those from the books of
the state treasurer, which have re
cently been balanced.
