it was written in Atlanta, but it is
conceded that he signed it.
'He insists that he is Mr. Browns
friend. Who believes it?
Friend? Yes, the friend who whis-
pers soft words in your ear while he
stabs you in the back
Now let US see about those four
positions from which Mr.. Mozeley
says Mr.. Brown was DISCHARGED for
incompetency.
THE first position mentioned was
passenger agent of the w. & A. r. r.
Governor Joseph E. Brown was pres
ident of the company that leased this
road from the State, and he was
known as an excellent business man.
His son, Joseph NJ Brown, entered
the service of the company as a
freight clerk and as a result of hard
work and the manifestation of bust
! ness capacity was gradually promot-
ed until he was put in charge of the
traffic department, holding the posi-
ton for years, and during that period
the road was on better terms with
the public, and gave it better and
more convenient accommodations than
at any other time in it's history.
After the n. G. & ST. l.. leased the
property, it filled the positions with
its own employees, just as is usually
done when a road changes hand.
Joseph e. Brown never employed
incompetent men.
"As to the Seaboard 1t is we'll
known that it has been in financial
straits from the beginning. It's career
has been a continuous succession of
Kaleidoscope changes. If all of
those who have lost out with the Sea-
board vote for Mr.. Brown he will be
assured of a support respectable both
in size and business character
'"The estate that it is claimed Mr..
Brown has dissipated it situated prin-
cipally in Atlanta. Joseph NJ Brown
and Julius Brown were joint execu-
tors. Julius lives in Atlanta, and
we are informed had the principal
management of the estate. The suit
| in question did not result in sany one
being discharged, as we remember,
but was settled out of court to the
satisfaction of ali concerned And
instead of being dissipated, the es-
tate is now valued at several humid
red thousand dollars.
"The other position from which
Mozeley says Mr.. Brown was dis
charged for incompetency was that
of railroad commissioner. But was
that the cause? Governor Smith says
not. He says it was because Mr.
Brown wrote him a letter which he
did not open. 1t is question of
yeracity between Mr.. Mozeley and
Governor Smith.
1--WE believe, and the public be-
lieves, that he lost that job because
he had backbone enough to do his
duty, and the trend of events has
indicated his attitude and business
sagacity.
The most surprising thing about Mr..
Mozeley's article is the statement that
he, Mozeley, does not want office,
This is indeed a revelation. We have
known him many years, and this is
the first time he has been in that
state of mind Only two years ago
he was defeated for the present State
Senate"

Lige Lewis-HOw People Feel About
Him.

f. 9. B. Lewis is perhaps the
me- pular public man before the
pc of this State today. A gentle
nj rom another congressional dis
trlct was in Cordele some weeks ago
and asked the question: What makes
Mr.. Lewis so popular?" One of the
old timers who was raised in the
neighborhood with Mr.. Lewis re-
marked: well, I have known Lige
Lewis all of my life; he and l are
near the same age, and there has new
er been a time in his life time that
he wasn't as polite to poor man and
as kind to a poor woman as he would
have been to the richest man in the
neighborhood; he didn't have to wait
until he went into politics to know
how to treat people; besides this he
is an up-to-date business man and
financier, and the people of this
district want business man in Con-
gress; he is sane, safe, conservative
and able; this sir" said the old TIM
er, lis the secret of his popularity"
1t is a matter of fact that fully
nine out of ten of the people who
have known Mr.. Lewis all of his life
feel the same as this man does about
him.-Cordele Rambler.

mother" gone, Cough went rapidly
down hill and became the most pitia-
BILE sight-a young drunkard.
Now a hotel waiter was the means
of saving Cough. God recognizes no
positions in His workers. All he asks
is that we be workers. The walters
name was Joe Stratton. We never
hear of him, but he influenced Cough
to sign the pledge. Perhaps you
may never be a famous Christian but
you may lead some one to Christ
who will be.
; While Cough was speaking here in
our own city in 1886 he uttered these
earnest words: Young man, keep
your Record clean" Hardly were they
out of his mouth when he fell strick-
en- with apoplexy and died. They
were his last words, and no shorter

Keep Your Record Clean
philadelphia Press. J

A study of the life of John B.
Cough, probably the worlds greatest
temperance lecturer, is filled with in
teresting and encouraging incidents.
He was much like other boys of his
years and station in life when he came
to America from England, at the age
of IL. He had a God-fearing mother,
and when he left home she had pin
ned on almost every article of cloth

But she died, and at the age of 16
young Cough was cast adrift. Won

ease with which board bills are
jumped, the wonder is there is not
more of this class of work going on.
In Georgia there is a law making it
a misdemeanor to skip a board bill,
but after the guest has fled it is
generally too late to arrest him.
