WHAT JOE BROWNS
NEIGHBORS SAY OF HIM
MARIETTA, Ga, May IS, 1908.

MARIETTA, GA, May Is, 1908.
To the People of Georgia. view
OF the great variety of attacks that have
been made upon the habits, character,
qualities and endowments of the Hon.
Joseph M. Brown, few words from his
neighbors should not be out of place.
This is the home of Mr.. Brown. He has
lived among us for seventeen years,
and, until his recent entry as candi-
date for governor, there has never been
a word against his integrity, morals,
habits or capabilities, but on the con-
trary, was universally esteemed as a
man Of exemplary habits, strictest
morals, rich endowments, and Chris
tian gentleman of the highest type. No
man in our county has been more lib
eral in the support of the churches and
their interests than he. A few years
Eince he gave about $500 to the build
ing Of the Marietta Baptist church, of
which he was not member, being a
member of the Second Baptist church,
Atlanta. He has always been liberal
in all charity work.
He is quiet, modest ard unassuming,
but with it all man of great firmness
in maintaining what he believes to be
right Likewise, he is strong in stating
and defending his positions. He is
largely endowed with that discrimins-
ting judgment for which his distin-
guished father was so noted He has
the discretion to judge what is right,
and the firmness and power to defend it.
We believe if the people OF Georgia
honor Mr.. Brown, he will make them a
conservative, conscientious, impartial
and faithful governor. We bespeak for
his candidacy favorable consideration.
Very truly yours,

FRANKLIN AUTOMOBILE
STANDS SOME HUGE
MOUNTAIN TESTS

George T. Odell of the Consolidated
Wagon and Machine Company, has
just completed his sixth trip to
Brighton and return with his Frank
lin Air Cooled, six cylinder, seven
passenger, AZ horsepower Automobile
in the last few days. The best run
made was on the last trip, the record
going being one hour and forty-nine
minutes, although Mr.. Odell says he
thinks that in the interests of caution
travellers by automobiles ought to
take two hours up and two and one
half hours coming down.
These heavy tests, which have been
made in all kinds of weather, have
thoroughly satisfied Mr.. Odell of the
merits of the Franklin car.
At the office of the Consolidated
Wagon and Machine Company, 1t Is
said that the sales for the month of
July, 1908, exceeded those of the
same month in 1907, and the collec-
tons We're quite satisfactory.
The reports from all the company's
branches scattered throughout Utah
and Idaho, indicate the finest kind of
crops; the farmers are all doing well,
and the Consolidated Wagon & Ma
chine Company, which supplies so
many of their needs, will have no
diminution in business during the
coming fall
