espionage of men who have
to fore voted with the Republicans,
defeating for office the regular
j nominees of the Democratic party,
Clark Howell, one of the ring’s
candidates for governor, addressed
the voters of Gilmer county at the
ly Ri jay Institute yesterday
HO.U 1 . lie was greeted by a
crowd of people, but during the
one hour he occupied the rostrum
he failed to provoke any enthu
siasm. Hi? speech fell liar,,
,
at its conclusion many expres
sions of disappointment as to
weakness ol Judge labors can
didate weie heard on tlie streets, j
Mr. Howell’s forces in Gilm-r 1
county are being led by Judge T.j
U. Tabor, ordinary of the county, I
who defeated the regular nominee j
ot the Democratic party, depend- [
mg almost entirely upon the as- j
sistance of the Republicans of
Giliuer for his, election, and now
this same Judge Tabor is chair¬ !
man of what the people of the i !
county term the “Slick Trail
Democratic executive committee 1
of the county,
Tabor’s executive com m i 11 e e I
was elected, or rather appointed
Monday, when the court housc-was ;
crowded with people less than j
twenty of whom took a hand in
the unusual proceedings The
meeting was i.eld at 11 o’clock, a
full hour before its advertised
time, tins being done in order to
catch the crowd in the court
house immediately upon adjourn¬
ment.
Something A bout Tabor.
Judge Tabor i who made all the
arrangements’for Clark Howell's
Y ;■ y
iedii defeating fpii the of .bom j
regular 1
Democratic nominees for county |
offices, is the leader of the iiide-|
pendent forces. He is co pub
1 lsher of a newspaper, his partner
being the Republican postmaster
of Ellijay, and former chairman
of the Republican executive com¬
mittee. He voted in the last state
Democratic primary, and his vote
was challenged, whereupon he
pledged to support the nominees
of the party.
However, shortly afte r w a r d s
when tho Democrats nominated a
candidate for ordinary, Judge
Tabor announced as an independ¬
ent candidate, and with the as -1 !
sistance of the Republicans was
elected.
in In the rue J.ice l-we ioi for congiessniai
from the Ninth district between
Bel!, the Democratic nominee
there was stretched in front ‘ ' of "
labor s newspaper office a ban
ner, urging the people to vote for
the Republican.
The people of Gilmer county
especially the Republicans who
have followed him, are wondering
ii it is tlie purpose of Judge Tabor
to desert them in the coming
election and return to the Demo¬
cratic party, swallowing the in¬
sulting pledge and all, just to
imtw for Clark Jioweii.
Tabor’s Committee,
Tabor’s unusual move on Mon¬
day in organizing win.t ho de¬
clares is the regularly elected
Democratic executive committee
lends color to the_ belief that he
proposes to desert the people
elected him as ordinary, although
there are those who say it is. the
purpose of the new committee to
hold a primary, allowing all Re
publicans who will vote for How
^ ell vote, though
to even the qual¬
ifications arc distasteful to them
and they propose to vote for the
Republican , nominees for
dent two years hence.
It has been reported among the
organized Democrats that
himself feared ho would not
allowed to Vote in the
prinury inasmuch as he ran as an
•ndepeudent and defeated tho
reginar nominee of the Democrats
\ or ordinary, and this after he
’ ,a< votp “ in the stale primary

; counsel for the L. & N. rail- ;

Nearly every one spoke of ;

“A ‘Slick

Mr. E. T. Foote says the rats

“That shows,” says Mr, Foote,
that the tobacco is good.
It seems to be a question with
Clark Howell as to whose bull is

galloped right along with the fel¬
lows that don’t vote with the
Democrats only occasionally.—

Arc the common sense thing. No more rusting
wires or broken ribs to push boles through the
umbrella cover. Instead of binding wires and
perforations, these umbrellas have brass balls on
the ends of the ribs and stretchers, fitting com¬

cannot rust, become broken or easily disarranged.
All have eight ribs, not seven as most umbrellas
