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 Im Watwa. a*t Jtsks faith were WATSON’S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. 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? : ' ' ' - I ’ ' S I - * r .\- ' 4 juK JHk *''Xw' I "• V,” • ' Jr mMMafcW w v< lMk. h?.

Mr. 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.’ national association 1 It makes no difference who owns him, whether a railroad or a newspaper. Xow to the last and mss hhapertant prspcHtifn. Did Mr. Liidsay hare a kone ia Tueksr, vpen whisk ks 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- Isen »• Mr. Lisdeay to pag eff that arerftyoye «n kis "lifols ksaw” so 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. (Signed) J. C.
