This matter was ventilated ' in /.aureus County, last year. Representative Kittrell sought re-election to the General Assembly, and his opponent, Hon. S. P.

Secretary of Slate McLendon dal not rush to Kittrell’s defense, last war. Candidate .Kittrell’s “explanations” may be gathered from 1 lie following letter: Camp, My dear Sir: Vour letter to information Mr. Earl making inquiry concerning that Mr. Blalock sent Air. ('amp during the campaign last Fall has been referred by Air. Cam]) to me for reply. A1 r. Camp delivered to me a swor’n copy a bill which Hon. C. it. Kittrell had O.

Hoping this is the infoidnation you want, 1 am therefore enclosing the same, desire to add that after 1 had published this in County, and made 19 stump speeches, some them joint debates with Dr, Kittrell whom 1 defeated by a larger majority than this County has ever given any candidate for any office and after he had on the stump admitted that it was true and tried to justify it on the ground first for that it was for W. E. Cowie, second that it was himself but that J. . . Brown, had urged him to do so that lie might remain at the’Capi¬ tol on week ends, then he wired the money hack to the department and secured the affidavit one Mr. Keen, t '-rk of the Kimball House, the effect that he (Kittrell) had paid his hill, but be didn’t state when lie paid it. then published the affidavit of Mr. Keen on a dodger and had several ears to broadcast County with them the night before the But fj’orn the result of the votes the truth already had the desired effect and he was beaten. I modestly say that my candidacy not only won for myself but it was the cause this County going against J. J. Brown Walker. Yours trnlv, S. P. NEW.

This is making a short statement as 1 can write. Tf T could see you, can explain more thoroughly. Note that the above conver aiioiV took piace in talking about them Marling up the old-Jeffersonian,. I Respectfully, What can you do with a man like J. J. Brown, who stabs the memory of his benefac¬ tor? When P n and Dorsey betrayed Air. j Wat soil at the Macon .Convention, during the trial of the 1 \ atson-Vinson contest, neither Brown nor Dorsey dreamed 1 hat Thomas H. Watson would learn the details of their per fidions conduct. As soon as Mr. Watson got the factFi, he let Brown understand that his treachery meant loss of Watson's friendship. Mr. Brown came to Thomson, to de. He was not invited to Hickory Hill, and il Mr. Brown insists, 1 will tell him whv. When he telephoned Mr. Watson "from Matt ilayi (store, the he Knox was invited Hotel. to During make himself the afternoon, at home Brown saw Air. Watson at tho McDuffie Bank, 1 He tried to explain his conduct at the Macon Convention. He was reminded of,his to Mr. AVatson and AVatson’s Tenth District friends. He could not make satisfactory planations: he told Air. Watson that the Oil Inspector, Air. Roane, promised Tenth trict appointments to AVatson’s enemies The Roman Catholic Church: An Empire . (Continued from Page One.). Papal subjects hold high office in all De¬ partments of our Federal Government. They occupy seats in the Congress—both House and Senate. They hold,, life-appointments Courts, on the U. S. Supreme Court, the U. S. District and'the U. S. Circuit Courts. Our Federal Ju¬ diciary can’t function without Papa’s hench¬ men.

Let us pray. Oh, Absalom, My Son I Draper Daugherty is up to liis neck in scandal. His Tither, Attorney-General Daugherty, declines to talk for publication, when approach¬ ed at St. Augustine, Florida, by certain ill mannered reporters.

Commissioner Brown promised to discharge Roane and all Tenth District appointees unfriendly to Hickory Wat {son? As Mr. Watson left the bank for Hill, lie told a group of friends gathered in front of the bank that Brown had not kept his prom¬ ises, that his explanations were not satisfacto¬ ry, that lie told Commissioner Brown the fol¬ lowing: “If you intend to keep your promises, act at once; if not, d it, say so.” Commis sinner Brown returned to Atlanta, and Watson heard nothing from Brown until Walter Vance visited Hickory Hill, to consult the Chief m regard to certain letters written to Vance by the Commissioner. Mr. Watson inspected the two letters bearing Brown’s signature; ‘the two letters told conflicting lies, and Mr. Watson in¬ structed his Secretary to file the letters, for safe-keeping. He told Vance that those letters would defeat Commissioner Brown, and. his parting compliment- to Josephine was the fal¬ lowing: “J. J. Brown is the biggest. liar in the State of Georgia.’’ Mr. Brown’s .charges against Airs. Lytle are typical falsehoods and they furnish a char¬ acter-: ketch of this “biggest liar in Georgia” —J. J. 'Brown. For more than twenty-five .years, Mr. Wat¬ son was engaged in the publishing business, as editor-in-chief of the following publication^: The People’s Party The Paper, The New York Watson’s Magazine, Jeffersonians, and The Columbia -Sentinel, lie wrote his edito¬ rials with ids own hand, and there was never a time that mi associate, employee, or co-work er felt justified in eliminating a word or tem¬ pering a statement from the pen of Thomas E, Watson. As Managing Editor of the Watson publications for a,period of fourteen years, Mrs. Lytle did not violate the unwritten law of the shop: sll at son’s editorials were printed just as he himself wrote them. When J. .1. Brown says that Mrs. Lytle do-' stroyed certain editorials in the Chief’s pres ence, he knowingly utters a willful and delib¬ erate falsehood. Equally false is. his charge that she was discharged by Senator Watson and re-instated as Managing Editor of The Sentinel, on’ her return from Europe. • Airs. Lytle was not discharged and she did not go to Europe, Brown’s clumsy lies to the contrary notwithstanding, v - ’Vl
