uOuuC0monC, maze III 0IIOrL TO Sc
cure justice for Georgia, in a court
case where fraud has been practiced
against the State, is respectfully Of
fered for publication by the News
papers of the State in interest of the
State:
AS an employee of the Tallulan
Falls Conservation Association, the
said association having secured the
passage of Resolution by the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia directing
that suit be brought in the name
of the State VS.. The Georgia Railway
and Power Company-the said Asso-
citation being named in said Resolu-
ton as party to the suit brought in
interest of the State. I, thereby, be-
coming a servant of the State, and
having, after the trial of the case
held at a special session of the SUI
perior court, convened at Clayton
on the 26th day of May, 1913, dis
covered that fraud was practiced,
on the part Of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company, against the
State, at said trial, resulting in a
verdict for said company, and l. hay
ing, after the said trial, discovered
evidence showing that certain of the
said Company's title claims are not
bounded by lines represented at said
trial to be Original Lot Division
Lines and said title claims are not
supported by grants from the state
And I, acting in good faith to the
Conservation Association and the
State having made many efforts to
have the case re-opened, both before
and since the decision rendered by
the Supreme Court of Georgia in
favor of the company. The said de-
cision being based on the said fraudu-
lent testimony set up at the superior
court trial held at Clayton. And
now, I, having laid the certain after
discovered testimony before the
Governor, and having demonstrated
to him the virtue and force of said
testimony, and
Whereas, the Governor is in doubt
as to his having the power and au-
thority to have the case re-opened,
| do, by this public announcement,
as to the true status of the case, in
Vite any Of the candidates now in the
race for the office of Governor of
Georgia, to meet me half way in my
efforts, made in Georgia's behalf, by
stating an efficient way to have the
case re-opened; to the honor and
self-respecting credit of Georgia, as
we'll as for her property right in
terest in the matter
Surely there is a way provided by
the laws of Georgia through which
the case can be re-Opened on the
ground of after discovered evidence
and fraud. And in the event none
of the aspirants for the office of
Chief Executive promptly elect to
state the proper course to be taken
to have the case re-opened, / re-
specially solicit the information of
any Lawyer, Legislator, or other per-
son of Georgia qualified and willing
to thus aid in UNFOLDING his States
property rights and her honor and
self-respecting credit and virtuous
security under the law against
fraud, and thus save the State from
the deadly blight and the fumes"
of instability, legal weakness and
administrative decadence of State
government. Save the State from
fumes, unlimited in range, and far
more pervasive and offensive, if not
more deadly than the fumes" of the
copper district of Tennessee.
shall anxious1y look forward to
the pleasure of chronicling the
names of the newspapers and the
