ARNOLD BRINGS CHARGES.
INSPECTOR VISITS THE POsTMAs-
TER AT ALBANY.

Il. f. Brimberry Charged With Gen
eraI Mismanagement of the ONCE.
Believed Part of That Means His
Retention of Democratic Clerks.
Albany People Express Approval
of His COnduct-AnOther ReDublI-
can Makes the Charges.
Albany, Ga, July IA sensation was
sprung in Albany this morning, when the
announcement was made that charges
had been preferred against Postmaster b.
F. Brlmberry, and that the postoflice in
spector of the department was in charge
of the office for the purpose of investi-
eating the accusations. The charges
against Postmaster Brimberry were pre-
ferred by DIR. c. w. Arnold of this city
and were lodged with the Washington au-
| thorities on some date subsequent to the
9Th inst.
As soon as it became known this morn
ing that the inspector was at the Albany
Office and that he had been sent here
to investigate the sensational charges
made by DR.. Arnold, your representative
sought Postmaster Brimberry and asked
for his version of the affair. In reply
to questions, he stated that the charges
and specifications We're exceedingly
lengthy and were embraced under sew
eral heads As he expressed il. Il am
charged by DR.. Arnold with everything
bad"
Although Postmaster Brimberry did nor
deem it advisable to talk until after the
charges had been fully sifted, he stated
| that among the shortcomings with which
he was charged were general m.smanage-
ment of the office" being "uncouth and
ungentlemanly in conduct" and numerous
others of a similar nature.
| Though Postmaster Brimberry would
not SO state, it is understood that his re-
tention of Democrats as assistants in the
office in preference to Republicans is nam
ed as one of the charges. Your represent
alive called to see DR.. Arnold and asked
him to make some statement regarding
his connection with the case, but this he
refused to do, stating the matter was in
the hands of the inspector.
The news was totally unexpected when
It was first made known about town to-
day and created a decided sensation. All
persons who have been heard to express
an opinion on the subject are surprised
that Pos tmaster Br mberry has been ar
raigned by DR.. Arnold and unhesitatingly
express their approval of his conduct
! since he assumed charge of the Albany
Office.
DR.. Arnold Is one of the most promi-
nent and influential Republicans in Geor-
gia, though he has not for several years
| past taken an active part in the political
affairs of his party The outcome of this
whole affair will be awaited with deep
interest by the people Of Albany.
