street. 1t was then moved to the
Darby block on Water street just
north of Bridge. and there it stayed
until the T0s when Mr. Brooks built
the present big block where the bust
ness has since been conducted.
Up to 1868. the hardware business
was owned and operated wholly by
s. S.. Brooks, but at that time he
formed partnership with William
Henry Brooks, a nephew, and from
then on the name OF the concern was
known as s. 8. Crooks & Co. In 1876
Edwin c. Dudley became member
of the concern and continued With II
for number OF years.
Albert ". Brooks. son OF s. :.
Brooks. succeeded to the business in
1890 and shortly afterward a corpo-
ration was formed in which Edgar A.
Hussey and John D.. Newman ac-
uuired part of the stock. A. w.
/ Brooks sold a greater part of his
stock in 1899 to Messrs. Eussey and
| Newman who have conducted the
business until the present time.
! II was back in 1856 when Mr..
Eussey. then lad OF 10. entered the
employ of s. s. Brooks & Co. He
| rapidly learned the business and soon
went out on the road where he was
( q most successful salesman. He
continued on The road until the in
| corporation and since that time has
been the general manager OF the
business. His connection with the
COMPANY and the corporation covers
an unbroken period OF So years.
John D. Newman was born in
western New York state on Dec. %.
1876. He received his education in
the schools OF the Empire state and
entered the hardware business IN 1880
He was one OF the original inc0rpo-
rators of the company and has been
the president OF it since 1900. He will
be treasurer and manager OF the
company under the new change OF
ownership.
p. Stuart Young, who will be asso-
ciated with Mr. Newman in the con-
duct Of the business, was born IN Au-
gusta June 4. 1884, and received MS
education i'll. the schools OF til Capital
city. He entered the employ OF the
Crooks Hardware 60. in 1904 but IN
the spring of 1915 withdrew 60 be
come hardware manager with the
Malcolm & Dyer Co. where he has
since been employed. He will be the
new president OF the Brooks Hard
ware Go.
Mr.. Newman. in speaking of, the
future Of the Brooks Hardware Co.
announced that except for the change
III ownership # the stock there would
be no other difference between the
corporation as it has been and as it
will be. The same building will be
occupied, the same name used and
the same business carried on in the
same progressive manner
The new Etussey Hardware Co,
whose store has been open for some
weeks, Will begin its real active busi-
ness after the first of the year and
Will receive the whole attention OF
E. A. I4ussey who has been so in
struuental in building up the corpo-
ration from which he IS retiring.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Be not deceived; God is not mock
ed:f for whatsoever man soweth,
that shall he also reap.-Galatians
6:7.
One kindly action of the past. if
such you can recall; will soothe you
gently at the last, when memory is
all. If you have helped some pill
grim climb from darkness and de-
spair, that action, in your twilight
time, will ease your weight of care,
All, comrade, in the dusk of life, when
yau have ceased your grind, when
all your strategy and strife are left
for aye behind, when you await life's
curtains fall, the setting of the
sun, how you will struggle to recall,
the good that you have done Walt

Legion's efforts has the way been
blasted to. their relief. The Ameri-

ANYBODY TO BEAT HAaDWick

THE Columbus Enquirer-Sun seems
to have its political eyes open Il
what is going on in Georgia, Judging
from the following which it published
a few days ago--which pretty wei
approximates the situation as we gel
it:
That seems to be the slogan of
the Hollomon- Howell Watson out
fit for the coming summer, if all
reports. be true. We had almost
said, anything" to beat Hardwick
of such a character are some of the,
suggested candidates.
However, the main point at pres
ent is, that the h.-H; w. outfit
seem determined to bring onia po-
litical rev in Georgia this sum
lner, no matter if it is supposed to-,
be an off-year in Georgia politics.
Even at this distance, we can
hear, occasionally what's Going on.
in Atlanta and Washington, and
what we hear makes 1T plain
enough that another temporary
entente cordiaie has-been establish
ed between Clark and Albert and
the McDuffie Rattlesnake--who
has so often stung 'em both and
didx,f oapn x,yho Z. ly,,aur - all
brought about by those trained po-
litical diplomats and fixers, Grover
Ednundson, of the Watson outfit,
and Jim Hollomon, of the Howell
outfit, Who, by the way, SO they
say, have become great political
'buddies" up there in Washington.
All of which, and lot more like
it, suits us, as far as that's concern
ed; only we just like 'em to know
that we see them at it. ~
Yes, the Hollomon-H Howell Wat
son eutfit-ence more, operating
under a limited political partner
ship; with a new member added to
the firnl-are bent on bringing
about a political row in Georgia
this summer, with Hardwick as the
intended victim. And revanche is
at the bottom of it all Hence, the
people must be called upon to get
excited and help raise Cain, all in
order that the H.-H.-W. outfit may
pay-off some political scores,
imaginary and otherwise.
Naturally enough, they'd like to
pick man who, as they see it,
ha ssome chance of winning against
hardWick-and, what is also to the
point, who is able to pay his own
way-so, as one story has it, they
have been offering the crown to
Congressman Gordon Lee, very
nice gentleman, who has been in
congress a long time, who has lot
Of perfectly good money and who
has yearning to be governor of
Georgia. Some Of Mr.. Lees closest
friends, however, seem to doubt if
he will fall for the Establishments
Of the H.-H.-W outfit-knqwing
IN advance, what a fight he will
have on his hands if he ever tack
les Hafdwick.
Failing to push Gordon Lee into

Tie chdiaCCeI anu The money ana

bert Clay and, also, for some rea-
son or other, president of the Geor-
gia senate. Some of them seem to
think it would be all right to have
Herbert Clay make the race against
Hardwick, rather than not have a
race at all.
1t is understood, too, that Hard
.wick's friends are inclined to much
the same view; that is, they feel
that if Hardwick must have opposi-
ton for governor this year, they'd
like it to be in the rotund person
of Herbert Clay-though it hard
ly seems fair for crowd 10 pick
their own opposition.
There have been several others
mentioned in connection with the
governorship-that is to say, sew

fit have felt out" as possible an
