II OR number of weeks past this paper has been pub
fishing salty letters between Mr.. NJ L. McNeel anC
Mayor Brumby concerning the financial affairs and other
matters of the city.
We have one from the mayor in this issue and
named in Mr. McNeels last. We quote from the McNee
charge:
Regarding the series of notes amounting to
$48,00000 these sent to Scarboro about the
last of last November for the purpose of getting
funds with which to pay the $48, 100000 that
tured December 3st, last. The proceeds from these
notes not received. Several months elapsed,
all during which time Scarboro had them in his
possession About the first of last February, Mr..
Brumby became alarmed, consulted one of our lead
ing attorneys saying that he could not hear from
Scarboro either by wire letter, phone. This at
torney stated to Mr.. Brumby that he knew Scarboro
had gambled in cotton in the past and that he mad
every reason to believe that Scarboro then
gambling in cotton He advised Mr.. Brumby to take
with him good lawyer, and leave for Triton that
night: for him to demand the Cty's notes for $48,
10000 or the cash, or put Scarboro in Jail Mr.
Brumby didn't think he needed the services of
attorney but left on the night train for Triton;
Scarboro the following day. accepted his personal
draft for S48O0O 90 in settlement of the notes. which
he did not think necessary to have the bank certify
and in addition Mr. Brumby agreed to hold the draft
for a certain length of time In the meantime Scar
boro skipped the country, and left Mr.. Brumby with
the worthless draft that he accepted in settlement
of the notes."
This of is in reference to an official act of the
mayor and that the people expected clear

reply to that draft incident in the mayors reply but
do find it. This is the mayors only statement we find
in the answer he gives to print this week:
Referring to Mr.. McNeels charge in his latest
article he is either ignorant of the facts purposey
tries to mislead the people about the illegal advice
given me. Here are the facts:
"The advice Of the Cty's paid attorneys land
there are better in the state) followed to the
letter was advised not to take attorney to Tiff
ton Not letter has been written nor q telegram
sent except by their approval"
1t is apparent that he completely fails to explain the
draft charge He does not deny that he accepted Scar
boros draft for $4,000 that he did not have same GER
titled or that he agreed hold it for certain length OF
time He does deny that during that time Scarboro
skipped the country leaving him in possession of the
worthless draft which McNee charges he had accepted in
settlement of the notes of the city, While he that
he followed the advice of the paid attorney in all he did
he does not deny that he advised by attorney
other than the ctys with whom he talked about the mat
ter Scarboro cotton gambler that he should
take good lawyer to Tfton and get the ctys notes
the money for them, put Scarbore in jail.
These matters interest the public little and we
are simply following policy of full publicity when
we speak of them. 1t is evident that Mr. Brumby has
not been living entirely up to his own full publicity
platform in this.
AS far able to learn the facts about matters
public interest shall give them to the people, let the
chips fall where they may.

The time is not far distant when
roads will have to be built by con-
tract, much after the fashion of rail-
road construction. The supply of
convict labor is not sufficient to build
and maintain the roads and other
methods will have to be adopted. The
prohibition law has decreased crime
in Georgia several fold and there is
general complaint of the scarcity of
convicts.-Jackson Progress-Argus.
This, indeed, is very good way
to build permanent roads, and there
will be plenty of repairs and work on
byroads to keep the convicts and the
county equipment busy all the time.
People can quarrel over one thing
and forget fifty topics upon which

And frequently the one thing about

A number of Superior Court Judges
are dismissing all misdemeanor cases
against men in army service. This is
commendable.- County Sen
tinel.
The practice was first inaugurated
here last fall by Judge N. A. Morris,
and we highly commended it at the
time. The Judge also advocated the
policy in a speaking tour during the
last loan campaign, and we are glad
to see it so generally adopted.
Skeptics are wont to sheer at the

without them-Royston Record.
Churches and religion have gone in
advance of civilization into every

and skeptic so many benefits, of which

In recognition for the splendid serv-
ices rendered in the management of
the nationwide Episcopalian cam
paign, which was concluded this week,
Rev. y. Wellington Curran, chairman
of the diocesan committee. is to be
presented with a purse by his fellow
clergymen.
Chairman Curran has been direct
ing the campaign from his office, 1911
G street, continuously since June l,
and the results of his efforts are
light with the tabulation of reports

cese. These reports represent the
systematic effort of more than 100
.clergymen, directed through a mem
bership of 52,260 persons, of whom
23.363 are communicates.
The campaign was featured by the
distribution of more than a quarter of
a million pieces of literature, largely
through the committees house-to-
house work. The distribution fol-
lowed the completion of a survey
showed a need of $2o3,724 year for
a period of three years to cover re-
ligious. educational, social service
work. salary increases and mission
extension work.
Commended by Campaign.
For being the tenth clergyman in
the nation to complete the diocesan
survey Mr.. Curran was highly COM
mended by L. b. Franklin, director

fellow clergymen, proceeded with the
organization of the executive, pub

the speakers bureau for conducting

Montgomery, Charles, Prince Georges
