Mr. Stephens then suggested that he would the race

When became definitely known that Mr. Stephens would

the call published in The Atlanta Journal The Atlanta

JUDGE JOHN 7. PENDLETON

The campaign literature of Mr. Stephens the opponent of
T. Pendeton rich in msstaements of facts and
improper appeals for that in the interest of truth reply
has been thought proper.
We regret the character of his communications Candi-
dates for this high judicial Office should be considered solely
from the standpoint of merit Demagogic camor and false
pretenses should find no place in such campaign
He says friends of Mr. Stephens prepared his folder
Who they? Where his indorsements7 Why doesn't
besides himself say he competent for the office? Do
these friends have any existence in the flesh? If why
it the folder does not give their names?
He states that Judge Pendeon put out by ''back-
room caucus"
Is the who deliberately wrote that statement with
full knowledge of the facts proper to elect this Officer

people
Judge of the Superior Court ought to both know and be
keenly alive to the results of his acts
His exercise of legal right to indorse negro for adms

Mr. Stephens stated at the East Point meeting that Judge
Pendeton Administrator of the Collier estate had brought

should have been brought in the City Court the nmaton

Then Where Did He Get 1t?

He says Judge Pendleon is 'chronc office seeker
It IS true ne City Recorder Incidentally he made
very fine officer
1t is true he City Attorney. Incidentally he made
OF the best legal advisers the city ever had.
1t is true he appointed Judge of the Superior Cour
without solicitation upon his part when Judge Lumpkn
placed on the Supreme Court Incidentally the
trial Judges in Georgia
1t is further true he has been twice ndorsed then
by the people.
The people appear to be well satisfied with his admin
istration as the lawyers.
But Mr. Stephens what about your record as chronic
Office seeker?"
You ran for Justice of the Peace
You ran for City Recorder
You ran for Solicitor Of the Criminal Court of Atlanta
You ran for the Legislature from this County
Were you elected to any office?

HIGH Cost of Paper.

1t was shown that the World in its
contracts for paper for the next five
years had been forced to pay 1886, 900
more annually than the price of the
last contract, and Mr.. Stone said that
the paper certainly could not offset
this by increasing its advertisements,
and he did not know of any other
offset it, He added that it could not

were the only two legitimate ways of
revenue subscriptions and advertis-

The attorney for the estate put this
question to Mr. Stone.
Assuming that the actually invest.
ed capital of the Press Publishing
Company is s2.o21 900 and deductine
the increased cost of white paper from
the average annual net profits of the
last four years. the net result of the
increase in the cost of white paper
would be to reduce the return per an
mum on the capital invested to $1SG,

THE difference between $536,00t
and $35o,ooO would be s1so,ooo," Mr
Stone replied.
And that would be less than 10 pei
