PAGE SIXTEEN 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 WATSON'S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. 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.
