JOSEPH M. BROWN SUSPENDED
BY GOVERNOR.
(Continued From Page One).
AL ASSEMBLY, and if a majority
of each branch of the general as
sembly declare said commissioner
shall be removed from office, his term
of office shall expire.”
Continuing, the section gives to the
governor the right to appoint succes
sors in cases of suspension.
Commissioner Brown’s term of
office will expire on October 15, this
year, previous to the meeting of the
general assembly, which fact makes
his suspension amount to a removal.
His term of office will have expired
before the legislature meets again, or
many months before Governor Smith
will be called upon to show reasons
for the suspension.
The provision of Section 185 by vir
tue of which the suspension was made
specifically states that the governor
shall serve notice of the suspension
and his reasons therefor to the legis
lature. It does not contemplate that
he shall give his reasons for the sus
pension at the time the order is is
sued.
HINES WILL BE ATTORNEY TO
COMMISSION.
Judge James K. Hines, of Atlanta,
has been tendered and will accept
appointment from Governor Hoke
Smith to be attoreny to the reorgan
ized railroad commission. The tender
was made Tuesday afternoon, and it
is understood that Judge Hines will
notify the governor of his acceptance
Wednesday afternoon. His formal
appointment will follow Thursday
morning in all probability.
The position to which Judge Hines
will be appointed was created by the
recent legislature, through an amend
ment to the Candler-Overstreet rail
road commission bill, which was of
fered by Mr. Hall, of Bibb. The
amendment provides for appointment
by the governor of an attorney to the
railroad commission, at a salary of
$2,500 annually, whose term of office
shall continue for four years from the
date of appointment, with the power
of removal in the hands of the gov
ernor.
The duties of the new position are
such that the services of the commis
sion attorney will be regularly requir
ed, and Governor Smith deemed it
wise and expedient to name an At
lanta lawyer for the position. He at
once hit upon Judge Hines, and forth
with tendered to him the position.
Judge Hines is regarded as one of
the best lawyers in the state, and be
is especially well qualified for the po
sition to which he will be appointed.
It is understood that the position is
more in the line of Judge Hines’ de
sire and ambition than another ap
pointive position for which he has
been prominently mentioned.
Judge Hines is a native of Wash
ington county, and prior to his re
moval to Atlanta in 1891, he was
Judge of the superior court of the
Middle Circuit, and one of the most
popular and leading citizens of that
section of the state.
As attorney to the railroad com
mission, Judge Hines will appear in
the capacity of solicitor, and advis
ory counsel. It will be his duty to
advise the commission as to the le
gal points involved in questions re
lating to railroads and other public

utilities, and to assist the commission
and the public in hearings that may
be had.
Judge Hines’ ability as a lawyer
is well known throughout the state,
and he is especially well informed as
to the economic questions relating to
railroads and public service compa
nies. His services to the state will
prove invaluable, and his appointment
will meet with general approval
throughout the state.
During the last gubernatorial cam
paign Judge Hrnes was a warm sup
porter of Governor Hoke Smith.
DON’T NEED TO BE PETTED.
The farmers don’t need to be pet
ted and talked to like they were ch I
dres.
The politicians and gravy huhters
will tell the farmers what great
things they can do and say
nice things about them and how they
are oppressed and this reminds us of
the proverb that “faithful is the re
buke of a friend, but the kisses of an
enemy are deceitful.” The Guide
thinks the farmers, now that they are
being enlightened, should see their du
ty to their country and perform it.
What’s the use of being petted?
How does that help the matter?
What we want is downright, plain
talk, and when you hear a man get
up and shell the corn down to you in
away that makes you want to kick
yourself, he is more apt to be your
friend than the man, with tears in
his eyes, who says he loves you, ah!
so good.
Farmers, listen to the advice and
even the rebukes of your friends and
heed not the caresses and kisses of the
deceitful enemy.
Let us always be plain with each
other and with the union. When we
think some things are going wrong
we expect to say so, and if our read
ers think we are going wrong we win
thank them to tell us about it. Don’t
try to pet us. Tell us the barefaced,
plain truth. —Farmers’ Union Guide.
WHEN MY SWEETHEART
COMES.
By Frank Monroe Beverly.
When my sweetheart comes to me,
From city, spring or bay,
Her presence seems the sweeter that,
Dear heart, she’s been away;
The lonely hours quickly flee
When little sweetheart’s back with
me.
How slow the weary days passed by,
When she was far away!
But now I am myself again—
For sweetheart’s home today!
I bless the kindly hour that she
Made her return to home and me.
The zephyrs fanned my aching brow,
life
When she was far away,
But when my little sweetheart’s
here—•
How bright the world, how very
dear!
Oh! stay with me, thou dearest
heart,
Through all my coming life;
And let me call you not alone
My sweetheart, but my wife.
This fateful hour I’ll ever bless,
But clouds o’ershadowed my own
If you will gently whisper, “Yes.”
The singing birds were gay,
