CARD FROM H. B. MOSS
Marietta, Ga, Sept. Z, 1915.
Editor Journal & Courier,
Dear Sir

Editor Journal & Courier,
Dear Sir
Since you published an account of
an Indictment against me in Cobb
Superior Court in your paper of
August the 4th ult., | ask the kind
ness of you to publish this brief
reply to the allegations in this ac-
cusation.
The charges are that / took poss-
ession of Land Lot No. 917 in the
18th District and End Section of
Cobb County under a deed from z.
c. Chapman dated November the 25.
1913, the names of the witnesses to
which we're not signed by the per-
sons whose names appear as wit
nesses, but that the names were
forged.
In the first place, | never was on
this lot of land in my life, nor have
ever sent any one else upon it, nor
have | ever in my life kept or tried
to keep anybody else off of it, l
could not find the lot of land if [
were to try unless l had some one
as a guide who knows its location.
Again, since this Indictment was
found | have taken the trouble to
find the persons whose names are
signed to this deed as witnesses, and
| have their affidavits, two as good
people as the State affords, that the
names signed to this deed as wit
nesses are their true, genuine sigma
lures and that they witnessed the
execution of the deed These af-
fidavits will be shown any person
that is interested in seeing them.
At one time l represented a par
ty who claimed this lot Of land. Mr..
Grower, the prosecutor, claimed to
have some kind of interest in the
lot, but he had no title of record nor
was either party in possession. It
was wild, mountain lot as | UNI
derstood. Mr.. Grower and | tried
to compromise and let one man have
both claims of title We could not
agree. Finally | filed suit in the Su-
perior Court to the July Term, 1915
against him to settle the title. He
employed one of the best land law
yers in the State to represent him.
This lawyer filed Mr.. Growers ans
wer. The case is No. Pills, July
Term, 1915.
Before his case was reached for
trial this lawyer representing Mr..
Grower and l representing my client
reached an agreement of comprom-
Use and settlement Mr.. Grower
paid my client Forty Dollars and
paid the cost and | surrendered to
him all the claims my client had to
the lot of land. He paid the cost
and the docket now shows the entry
Of Settled and Cost Paid" Mr..
Grower still has my clients title
and has thel OF of land and | sup
posed that after having able coun-
sci to investigate the matter and to
pass upon the title the matter was
ended. | am informed that the
claim Mr.. Grower had on this land
before he got the claim represent
ed by me in this suit cost him Elev-
IL Dollars. My client received For
ty The cost, | suppose was about
Ten Dollars. A reasonable fee for
his lawyer would have been about
Fifteen Dollars.
The lot of land l am informed is
worth about Two Hundred Dollars.
He has paid out about Seventy-siX
Dollars.
'These matters all took place from
June 1915 until June 1916. The
case was settled on June 10, 1916.

Wide Circle OF Friends.

1t will be a source of great gratif-
cation to his many friends all over the

state and has always devoted himself
to its best interests. He has been
very active both in his public and re-
hglous endeavors, and has acquired
well-deServed reputation for I'M
swervlng integrity and devotion to
duty.
Colonel Jones has practiced law in
Richmond County for over thirty
years, and it is tribute to his hon
esty and ability that at this time the
Bar of Richmond County has unani-
mously and urgently endorsed him for
the position of Judge of the Court of
Appeals.
AS further evidence of the esteem
in which Colonel Jones is held, it is
interesting to note that he has re-
ceived the unqualified endorsement of
all three of the Representatives from
Richmond County.
Colonel Jones is man of splendid
education and firm religious princi-
pies, being a graduate of Mercer Uni
versity and having held many respon-

POINTS OF VIEW

Some time ago Life in some
remarks about the president of the
United States had the following:
President Wilson seems a good
deal like Bismarck in that he would
have subordinates but not collea-
CUES. Perhaps Washington was that
way, too. Men who have in them
a great conception and are trying
to make it come true, are apt, no
doubt, to be lonely workers Mr..
Wilson works as he can, and works
best, apparently, with helpful sub
ordinatea. He has not got the king
like quality that Roosevelt had of
being first among his peers and US
ing his superiors. 1t is not to quar-
rel with him for being what he is
and doing his work as he can, but
it is interesting to understand him.
He is worth understanding. He
may be Cromwell in some resem-
blances and Bismarck in others. but
he is never Charles the First nor
Wilhelm III nor T. r. nor w. j. B.,
and he never will be either success
full or dangerous by having cap
tured by his personality the mag
nations of infatuated adherents.
Not but that people who work
with him like him. They do; they
more than like him. But his hold
is on the mental side of men, not
the emotional side. Bryan can beat
him hands down in working simple
folks on their emotional side, and
so can Roosevelt. There is no witch
cry about him except his exception
al hardness in the choice and ar
rangement of words, and his ability
to use them vocally or in writing.
His force of character is not witch
cry. 1t is great fact"
Whether Mr.. Wilson was in
fluenced by political considerations
or not every body is glad he kept
the strikers at bay. People who
are criticising the president 50 ad-
yersely should remember that cir
cumstances alter cases and in times
of stress all good captains allow
their men TO make amy port in a
storm The strike was impending
and was postponed by diplomacy.
Of course the differences" between
capital and labor have not been
settlad but a great amount of suf-
fering by inaocent neutrals has been
averted. The country has been
kept out of one kind of conflict in
which helpless women and children
would have been the greatest suf-
Ierers. A. l.. c.
