Circular Proven False.

W
Hunnicutt Forced To Admit That His Cir
cular Picturing J. J. Brown As An Oc
topus T« Untrue.
Citizens of Georgia:
My opponent is handing out a libelous cir
cular wherein it is falsely charged that the
department of agriculture is costing annual
ly twice as much as is the truth as is shown
over the signature of the Auditor of the
• State. His circular contains other false items
which are completely at variance with the
Auditor’s report. When confronted with the
facts in joint debate my opponent admitted
the falsity of the charges contained in the
circular. The truth of the matter is that this
department, after paying all operating ex
penses, turns into the treasury of the State
annually over $500,000.00. Not a cent deriv
ed from ad valorem taxes goes to pay the ex
penses of the department. Both branches of
the Georgia Legislature this session unani-
moijsly adopted the report of the legislative
investigating committee wherein the admin
istration of the department of agriculture
was completely vindicated.
Sincerely yours,
J. J. BROWN,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Hunnicutt’s Real Purpose Is To Destroy The
Market Bulletin and The Bureau
Of Markets.
Citizens of Georgia:
Having established «he Bureau of Markets in 1917, and being in
possession of facts that are vital to the welfare of the Market Bul
letin and Co-operative Marketing, I feel that I owe it to you to give
you the truth regarding the present race for Commissioner of Agri
culture.
G. F. Himnicutt, candidate for Commissioner pf Agriculture, had
been the bitter enemy of the Market Bulletin and the Bureau of
Markets since their birth. He has on many occasions bitterly attack
ed this department for their efforts in bringing producer and con
sumer closer together. Mr. Hunnicutt refused to give any aid to our
Cotton Cooperative Association at a time when it needed help. No
longer than September 1, 1923, he wrote an editorial in his paper, as
is shown below, condemning the State for maintaining the Market
Bulletin. Mr. Hunnicutt has associated with hinj in his campaign
the profiteers and speculators who 'have always been against my ad
ministration because of our efforts in getting the farmer a square
deal in the distribution of his products.
Sincerely yours,
J. J. BROWN,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Personally appeared T. R. Gress,Assistant Attorney General for
Georgia, who served as time-keeper at a debate between Hon. J. J.
Brown and Hon. G. F. Hunnicutt, at Hapeville, Ga., on July 28th, who
on oath says that in said debatfe he heard Mr. Ilunriicutt say that
since hearing the report of the State Auditor he woud admit being
in error as to the number of employes and the amount of money
spent by ' the Department of Agri culture. Affiant further says that
said Hunnicutt in excusing his error claimed for himself the privil
ege of poetic exaggeration. T. R. GRESS.

“We were glad to see that the Georgia Legislature has passed a
bill cutting down the market bureau fund $100,000 and cutting out
the market bulletin. Some people in our state will misunderstand
our motive in taking this position. It is true that Bulletin was our
competitor, but it was only where this competition was unfair and
where the state had no right to be paying the doctor’s bills that we
had objections. There is no sane reason on earth why the state of
Georgia should furnish a large class of breeders and dealers in farm
products with free advertising. The market bulletin was never
confined to the purpose of its being issued as provided in the act. Mr.
J. J. Brown and his associates used it as they saw fit, and not in
strict compliance with the law. Of course, our commissioner could
get a great bundle of letters from those who had profited from the
free advertising given. But we rejoice in the fact that we had en
ough men in the Legislature who appreciated the fact that for the
state to give free advertising was unjust to the papers in our state
that pay taxes, high postal rate* and still use all the means in their
power to give the farmers a medium of helpful information as well
as a cheap medium for advertising. Without any personal bitter
ness towards the head of our agricultural department we can justly
say that the market bulletin was a project unfair to us and to every
paper in our state who solicited advertisements from breeders, seeds
men and all lines of farm products. We have commented on this only
once before, but we'feel it our duty to express our gratitude that
this wrong has been righted. Our sympathies are all with the farm
ing class, and we want to see them have better marketing facilities
and certainly see them learn how to produce—how to best fix their
various products for the market and how to reach the buyers. Still
it is not the State of Georgia’s business to furnish a medium for free
advertising. As well go into free commissions—and free transpor
tation—and so forth and so on.” Adv.
