and leaders of public thought were in
doubt as to the popular side of the
question, Colonel ‘Worley, without
pausing to count the cost or making
inquiry as to the popularity of the
measure, boldly proclaimed that he
was on the side of God, morality and
right and led the prohibitionists to a
glorious victory. He also supervised
the building of our present court
house, which is the pride of every
citizens in our county. In 1894 and
1895 Colonel Worley represented El
bert county in the General Assembly
of Georgia. Here his course was
marked with intelligence and con
servatism. He has always been a
Democrat, but never partisan. He
advocated and supported many of the
leading reforms introduced by the
Populists, as did many other broad
minded and honest Jeffersonian Demo
crats. Since then he has uninterrupt
edly pursued the study and practice
of law, being employed on one or the
other side of all the biggest cases of
this section of the State. Judge
Worley’s home life is sunny and af
fabl*. When you have been acquaint
ed with him you will pronounce him
one of the most genial and generous
men that it has been your pleasure to
meet. He has a commodious home
and a most estimable and happy fam
ily. He is easy in this world 's goods,
the result of a lucrative practice.
(Judge Worley was recently ap
pointed by Governor Hoke Smith to
succeed Judge Holden. He is now a
candidate for the full term. Every
one speaks highly of Judge Worley’s
ability and character.)

THE HON. CLARK PAID LIND
SAY SIOO.
Tells Why Governor Smith and Wat
son Were Snubbed and “Uncle
Lon’’ and Howell Were
Made the Heroes.
November 2, 1907.
Editor of the Journal:
Some days ago you did me the
courtesy to publish my card to the
snub handed out to Mr. Watson by
the officers of the National Rural Mail
Carriers’ Association. Mr. Lindsay
replied in a morning paper and at
tempted to dismiss the matter, not by
a courteous reply, but by calling
names.
The writer has no personal feeling
in the matter, nor any desire to do
Mr. Lindsay an injustice. About him
as a private citizen, I have nothing
to say; but about him as an officer
of the carriers’ national convention,
I have the right to call in question
his official conduct.
The public attention was called to
three things:
1. That Lindsay’ purposely snub
bed Mr. Watson.
2. That he rode on passes, x
3. That his mortgaging his home
in Tucker for $1,500 was absolutely
false.
To the proposition that Mr. Thomas
E. Watson was purposely snubbed by
Mr. Lindsay, there is no need to call
any one’s attention. To say that a
man of Lindsay’s type can snub a
great man like Watson is both ludi
crous and ridiculous. Mr. Watson,
however, says he was snubbed and the
people of Georgia believe it. And
when you consider ths fact that Clark
Howell and Lon Livingston were pres
ent, it is easy to nndsTßtasfl why

not invited. But Mr. Watson is able
to care for himself on this score, and
we pass on to the second proposition.
Does Mr. Lindsay ride on passes,
or has he during his term of office as
president of the Naticnal Convention
of Rural Mail Carriers? Mr. Lindsay
says not. Let us see. By the term
“free pass” we mean any kind of
transportation for which Mr. Lindsay
does not go down into his pocket and
pay the eash for it.
Does Mr. Linsay deny that Clark
Howell, or The Constitution, pays his
transportation to z and from the State
and national convention? To be more
explicit, will Lindsay deny that Mr.
Howell, or The Constitution, not only
paid his transportation to the con
vention at Peoria, 111., last year, but
advanced him all other expenses dur
ing the trip?

Mr. Irwin and Mr. Cursell told Mr.
T. L. Hams, carrier route 4, Law

Lindsay tc Id Mr. Harris that his
money (Lindsay’s) “wouldn’t count
when oft on a trip of this kind.’*
Again, during the recent convention,
•lid not Mr. Lindsay accept SIOO from
Clark Howell or The Constitution!
Mr. J. A. Moon, of Tucker, son of
Henry Moon, coroner of Gwinnett
county, says ho saw the check. Does
Mr. Lindsay claim that he paid these
bills, or does he charge them up to th.’

placed a mortgage of $1,500 for car
rying out the work and advancing the
interest of the boys who carry our
rural mail?
He says that he has such a home
and invited the writer to go to De
catur to interview the records. The
writer went to Decatur and the rec
ords, as kept by the clerk, show no
mortgage cf any kind. The truth is,
Mr. Linsay has no heme in Tuckci,
and when he states that he mortgaged
said home for $1,500, he makes a mis
statement of the truth, which is un
worthy cf a decent and honorable
man.
If he mortgaged a fan*. why difla’t
he say so? But when ho states that
he placed a $1,500 mortgage on hi*
little home that sheltered his wife and
children, he states an untruth. I
throw the gauntlet at his feet and
challenge him to make his statement
clear.
How did Lindsay get that fifteen
hundred de liar mortgage raised! He
says that it was done by donations
from the R. F. D. carriers. But how!
The news was sent out by the press
that the president had mortgaged his
“little home’’ and gone to Washing
ton, all for the benefit of the R. J. D.
men. The carrier, as he drove on his
route, thought of Mr. Lindsay’s un
selfish act in placing a $1,500 mort
gage on his “little home” for the
sole benefit of his fellow carriers. He,
the carrier, thought of bis little home
and his family. His heart wa« touch
ed asd forthwith he sesds a centrikw-

Tucker.
It was a beautiful story. It
touched their hearts and they re
sponded with the sura of $2,300. And
when, during the recent convention
held in Atlanta, Mr. Lindsay gave the
hoys a barbecue at Tucker, it was
good to read of how the men and wo
men enjoyed seeiig the “little home,”
for which they had paid. The man
from New York and th* man from
Wisconsin felt that they had done
their duty in helping to pay for Mr.
Lindsay’s “little home.” And had.
that crowd of R. F. D. men know*
that the “little h*me,” at which they
gazed with pride was the property of
Dr. W. P. Cofer, of Saellville, Gwin
nett eounty, Georgia., and that Mr.
Lindsaj’ was paying ten dollar* per
month for it, they doubtless would
have felt a growing sensation of in
dignation at the unworthy deceptive
act of their grafting host and preni
dent.
Now to use Mr. Lindsay’s language,
if he will show that Clark Howell or
The Constitution did not pay his ex
penses to Peoria, and that so far a*
he is concerned, he did not ride on a
pass, then 1 will confess that he has
some ear-marks of a gentleman on
him. Again, if he will show that he
placed a mortgage of $1,500 on his
little home, as the press, by his au
thority, has published throughout the
country, then I, too, will say that he
is an honest man. If, also, he will
show that Clark Howell did not give
him SIOO at or about the time of the
recent convention, I will acknowledge
that he is too slick for an honest man
to catch.
