Before Brilliant Assemblage.
State's New Executive Avoids Demon
stration By Eluding the Big Crowd.
Appointments Announced.
Atlanta, Ga.—ln the presence of
the state officials of Georgia, legisla
tive, executive and judicial, and the
largest crowd that ever filled the hall
of the house of representatives, Jo
seph Mackie Brown took the oath that
qualifies him to discharge the duties
of the chief executive of the state dur
ing the next two years,
The oath was administered by Chief
Justice William H, Fish of the su
preme court of Georgia, at the conclu
sion of the inaugural address. Then
Hoke Smith delivered to Joseph M.
Brown the silver dies of the great secal
of the state, and a new page had been
turned in Georgia's political and offi
cial history.
It was a dramatic, pulse-stirring mo
ment when the two men faced each
other, the one to receive from the oth
er the insignia of power and execu
tive authority. The gilver dies, usu
ally carefully wrapped in chameis
and kept in the office safe of the sec
retary of state, lay in the open hand
of Governor Hoke Smith.
There was a silence that was al
most oppressive as the man who ‘had

GOVERNOR JOSEPH M. BROWN.
just concluded a term as governor,
and the man who entered upon a new
term, completed the formality of the
delivery of the seal.
No word was spoken, but with ex
ceeding gravity Hoke Smith handed
the seal to Joe Brown, who bowed
low to receive this visible insignia
of power.
Then the enthusiasm of the friends
and supporters of Governor Brown,
who packed the hall, broke forth. The
cheering continued for several min
utes,
In the same order in which theyi
had entered, the actors in the day’s
historic event retired from the hall a
half-hour later. Governor Brown was
followed to the executive office by
probably two thousand friends, who
filed through the office and shook his
hand.
As he retired from the hall of the
house, Governor Brown was accom
panied by Mrs. Brown, who stood by
his side during the official reception
afid shook hands with the governor’s
friends. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Smith
also assisted in receiving the visitors.
Mr. Smith was the manager of Mr.
Brown’s successful campaign for the
nomination.
Every inch of space in the house
was occupied when the hands of the
cleck pointed to the hour of noon.
The whirring electric fans and the
waving palms in the hands of visitors
and legislators testified to the wilting
heat. Hundreds who could not gain
admission to the hall’ whére the ex
erciges were being conducted, crowd
ed the corridors of the capitol.
Promptly at noon Governor-elect
Brown entered the hall on the arm
of Representative Hall of Bibb. Gov
ernor Smith entered with Senator Ru
dicil of the fortyv-second. The other
members of the inauguration commit
tee of the two houses followed. They
were Senators Callaway of the twen
ty-ninth, Morris of the eighteenth ‘and
Representatives Anderson of Chat
ham, Garlwington of Richmond, Dan
fel of Cobb and McCutchen of Heard.
Next were the ex-governors of Geor
gia, Joseph M, Terrell, Allen D. Can
dler, W. J. Northen and Henry D. Mc-
Daniel. TFollowing them were the fed
eral and state court judges.
Last came the justices of the su
preme court and the judges of the
court of appeals, who found places on
the speaker’s stand. The members of
the family of Governor-elect Brown
and his personal escort had seats in
front of the stand on the left of the
speaker.
In addition to the official party and
the invited guests of the 1)91'5011:9 who
were taking conspicuous part in the
proceedings, several hundred other
persons crowded into the chamber,
The galleries were packed, and the
corridors outside thronged with per
gsons seeking to gain admission., Ev
ery available inch of space was oc
cupied, B
It required frequent appeals from
President Slaton and even a threat to
clear the center aisle, before a path
way could, be made for the judges of
the supreme court to enter, Finally
the judges wormed their way through
to the stand,
As Governor-elect Brown arose and
faced the crowd he was greeted with
cheers, Frequently during the deliv
ery of his brief inaugural address, he
wes stopped by cheers and applause.
The presiding officer made no at
tempt to stay the enthusiasm, Once
or twice a partisan's cheer for “Hoke
Smith” recalled the stirring scenes
of the campaign which had Dbeen
fought and won,
The governor-elect spoke in an ear
nest, deliberate and forceful manner.
He Invoked the blessing of God and
dedicated himself for the next two
years to the service of the state.
At the concluzion of Mr, Brown's
inaugural address he announced, |
am now ready to take the oath of of
fice.,” Chief Justice Fish of the su
preme court of Georgia, administered
the required oath,
Mr, Brown rejected the Bible regu
larly used in the house and held in
his hand a small Bible, covered with
brown leather, It was the gift of his
father and bore on the fly leaf the
inscription, “Presénted to Joseph M.
Brown by his Father, December 28,
1868."”
When he had responded “I do” to
the oath he bent reverently and Kkiss
ed_the book he held in his hands.
Nothing remained but the delivery
of the great seal of the state. When
this .passed from the hands of the re
tiring governor to the hands of the
new governor the ceremonies of the
day were concluded.
Returning to the executive . office,
Governor and Mrs, Brown took their
positions in the center of the large
reception room and for over an hour
shooks the hands of admiring friends.
Mrs. Brown shook as many hands as
did the governor,
Congpicuously displayed by the Sa
vannah delegation which attended the
inauguration was a banner bearing
the coat of arms of Georgia and the
words, - ““‘Chatham County, 3,016 Ma
jority.,” For a while this banner was
held over the governor’s head by an
enthusiastic Chatham county admirer.
At the conclusion of the reception
a handsome bronze desk set was pre
sented to Governor Brown by the
Chatham delegation in the governor’s
private office. Sig Myers made the
presentation speech.
Governor Brown’s first and omnly of
ficial business was the issuance of an
executive order, appointing the secre
taries of the executive department,
designating their work and fixing
their salaries. :
« Benjamin H. Blackburn of Atlanta
will receive $2,200 per year.
A. H. Ulm of Atlanta will receive
$2,000 per year.
C. C. Brantley of Valdosta will re
ceive SI,BOO. .
The governor is allowed $6,000 per
year for the compensation of his sec
retaries and clerks, and he may di
vide it to suit himself. '
The reception at the executive of
fice over Governor and Mrs. Brown
were the guests at dinner of Julius
Brown, brother of the governor.
FIREMENS’ STRIKE SETTLED.
Arbitrators Announce Their Decisions
cn Points at Issue.
Atlanta, Ga.—Negroes will continue
firing on Georgia Railroad trains.
This was the chief point: decided
by the arbitrators in the well-known
Georgia strike case, Chancelior Da
vid C. Barrow of the University of
Georgia and Hilary A. Herbert, ap
pointee of the Georgia road, concur
ring, and T. W. Hardwick, appointee
of the firemen, entering a dissenting
opinion.
On a number of other points the
Georgia firemen win. The firemen had
contended for the same wages to be
paid the negro firemen and the white
firemen. This was granted by the ar
bitrators, -
The firemen had urged this scale
of wages because they were of the
opinion that if the road ‘had to pay
the same wage, it would prefer to
hire white men, who are admittedly
more intelligent, and who alone can
become engineers, the negroes heing
barred. At the present time the ne
groes are employed as firemen be
cause they work for®less money, so
the Georgia employves say. :
It was agreed by the arbitrators
that firemen in line of promotion to
the position of engineer shall have
three years’ experience before being
promoted to that position and shall be
promoted in the order of their senior
ity, provided they are able to pass
all reasonable requirements and ex
aminations, If they fail to pass their
examinations or refuse'to pass, they
will be reduced to freight service
without losing their seniority. Failing
in their second examination, they will
be reduced to the bottom of the ex
tra list, ;
It was agreed that all hostlers shall
receive their present rate of pay:; as
sistant hostlers shall be considered
as yard firemen and paid the same;
extra firement when used as hostlers
shall be paid as hostlers. .
The arbitrators agreed that in fill
ing vacancies to firemen's seniority
alone shall not control, though it may
be congidered in connection with ef
ficiency, »
The firemen asked that all firemen,
when hired, shall be placed in freight
vard or hostling service and the sen
ior white firemen shall have prefer
ence of engines and runs, This was
denied by the a¥bitraters. -Hardwick
dlssented. A ; i
~ The firemen asked that the firemeri
be not required to throw switches,
flag street crossings. or’ tarins, ex
cept in cases of emergency. This was
denied, all arbitraters. concurring,
