Time, Named Commander of
J. E. Johnston Camp.
UNANIMOUS IS VOTE
FOR ALL OFFICERS
Meeting of Confederate Veterans Held
Saturday Morning at Court House—
No Business of Importance
Came Before Meeting.
Judge S. B. Felker was re-elected,
Saturday, as commander of the Joseph
E. Johnston camp, United Confederate
veterans, this being his fifteenth consec
utive election as head of the local camp.
If attendance counts for interest in
the work, there is none who takes a
more active part'in the work of the
local camp, for during the fifteen years
he has served as commander, Judge
Felker has missed only one full meet
ing, presiding over the monthly gather
ings on all but two occasions. His at
tendance record is not approached by
any other member of the camp.
At the meeting held last Saturday,
all of the old officers received a unani
mous vote for re-election, the election
being practically the only matter of
any general importance to come before
the old soldiers. Aside from Judge
Felker, the following officers were re
elected:
G. W. Stafford, first lieutenant com
mander; H* C. Erwin, sceond lieutenant
commander; Joshua Boach, third lieut
enant commander; H. A. Bussell, quar
termaster: A. C. Gunz, commissary; S.
J. MeKnight, burgeon; J. D. Graham,
assistant surgeon; B. P. Neal, chaplain;
Joseph Bogle, treasurer; O. M. England,
sergeant major; Henderson Benfroe, of
ficer of the day; B. K. Hix, color ser
geant; S. W. A1 verson, vidette; T- C.
MeBryde, first color guard; J. I. Tibbs,
second color guard.
Charley Connallv, candidate for sher
iff, has announced that in the event of
his election Walter Cleekler, a popular
voung man of North Dalton, will he his
deputy. Mr. Cleekler enjoys the es
teem of all his acquaintances. He is a
man of ability and integrity, and would
without doubt, make an excellent depu-
tv sheriff.

Judge Thomas W. Milner, former
judge of the superior court of this cir
cuit, has given the following recommen
dation to J. M. Neel, Jr., candidate for
the office of solicitor general: /
“To whom it may concern:
“I take pleasure in stating that I
have known Air. J- M. Neel, Jr., from
his boyhood, and have known him as
a lawyer practicing at this bar as a
member of the firm of Neel & Neel for
seven years. He is an unusually prom
ising lawyer for a young man of his
age; I have observed him in the trial
of many cases in the superior and city
courts of this county, both civil and
criminal, sometimes in association with
his father and sometimes alone; he ar
gues legal questions before the court
with ability, and is fofcqful as an ad
vocate before juries. If elected to the
office of solicitor general of this circuit
I have no doubt of his ability to dis
charge the duties of the office with cred
it to himself, and to the satisfaction of
the people.
“Believing as I do that active young
men can best fill this important office,
I have no hesitation in commending Mr.
Neel as well equipped for the place. I
will further state that he is regarded
by this bar, and the people of this
coputy, as a lawyer of honor and integ
rity in all his professional relations.

ME. O. M- ENGLAND GOES
TO ASSIST SENATE
Mr. O., M. England, a popular Con
federate veteran of the northern part of
the county, leaves next week for At
lanta, to take up his duties as a door
keeper in the state senate, State Sena
tor M. C. Tarver having secured this
position for him.

RANDOLPH ANDERSON
IS COMING SATURDAY
All Aspirants for State Office Axe Now
Out in the Open Begging for
Votes — Political Bailies
Held in County.
Governor John M. Slaton, candidate
for the short-term senatorship, will be
“in our midst” for a short time Fri
day morning. Governor Slaton will ar
rive on the Royal Palm train, and will
spend an hour or so here, shaking hands
and talking politics to a certain extent.
From here, he will go to Binggold,
where he will speak Friday afternoon.
While here, Governor Slaton will not
make a speech, but will probably come
back to this city before the primary
to address the voters.
Governor Slaton has hosts of friends
and supporters in this county, and a
large crowd will meet him on his arriv
al here. He has shown himself one of
the most efficient and popular chief ex
ecutives the state has ever had, and
Dalton will be glad to extend him a cor
dial welcome when he arrives.
Bandolph Anderson, of Savannah, one.
of the trio of candidates who want to
do their resting in the governor’s chair,
will he here Saturday night to address
the voters and tell them just why he
should be elected.
If you want to hear a real speech, ap
proach the court house shortly before 8
o’clock Saturday night, enter the door,
climb the stairs and walk into the main
court room. With such implicit direc
tions, you can’t miss it.
Mr. Anderson is reported to he a mod
ern Demosthenes, with the rock under
his tongue and all of it. He can talk a
few minutes and before he is fairly
warmed up, he has the crowd sitting in
stupefied silence while he rolls out the
metaphors and makes the brooks babble
gently in accompaniment to the sooth
ing, sweet, throaty lay of the mocker
in duet with the wood thrush. The
most time-honored and hackneyed phrase
comes from his tongue with soothing
melody, that makes strong men weep
for the very beauty of it, and lulls into
a beautiful, dreamless sleep, the tiny
babe athwart the hairy arm of the
brawny son of toil-
Mr. Anderson can say, ‘ ‘ Howdy, ’ ’
and the sweet-voiced denizens of the
air halt in their flights to drink in the.
cadences of his voice, getting pointers
for the purpose of instilling it in future
flute-like notes so quieting and delight
fully elevating to those who give ear,
while the leaves'of the trees, laugh aloud
in delight and the limbs nod benignly,
keeping time to the rise and fall of
the tones.*
Mr. Anderson is president of the state
senate; but that shouldn’t he held
against him, for he’s really x a first-class
gentleman, fully qualified to fill the of
fice he seeks at the hands of the voters.
And you’ll miss the very best speech
of the campaign if you fail to hear him.
The time of city council Monday
night was occupied with the reading of
reports, there being no business other
than this transacted.
The police court made the first report
for the month of July, showing that
fourteen were arraigned before Becord-
er Tarver, twelve were fined for a total
of $83.20, and two were released.
The water, light and sinking fund
commissioners made the semi-annual re
ports, the board being complimented by
council for efficient management of the
plants.
The report was as follows:

W. T. Umphrey, the aged Union vet

This week, Sheriff Glenn, as the time
'approached for carrying into effect the
sentence of the court, began making all
preparations, which were completed this
morning, when he failed to receive any
message from Atlanta' intimating that
the governor would interfere.
Old Man Examined.
Tuesday night, Dr. O. C. Gibson, of
Atlanta, came here for the purpose of
examining the aged prisoner, for the
purpose of ascertaining his mental con
dition. He mafie a thorough examina
tion early Wednesday morning; but
left for Atlanta without making any
statement, saying he had been ordered
by the prison commission to make the
examination, and that body would get
his report first. The examination was
made to ascertain whether or not the
prisoner was of sound mind, the ques
tion of insanity having been injected
in the pleadings Before the prison com
mission in an effort to get that body to
recommend that Governor Slaton ex
ercise clemency and commute the sen
tence to life imprisonment.
Old Man Holding Up.
Seen by a Citizen representative in
his cell in jail this morning, the old
man refused to discuss the crime of
which he stands convicted. While evi
dently feeble and showing decided evi
dence of the severe mental strain under
which he has been laboring for several
months, he appeared resigned to his
fate, and was bearing up wonderfully
well.
His One Regret.
1 ‘ If. it be - God’s will that I die to
morrow, I will meet death with but one
regret, and that is the leaving of my
little girl. Were it not for that, I
would have no .dreads, for I can face
my Master with a clear conscience,” he
said-
“I won’t make any statement, for
it would he greeted by jeers, and peo
ple would say it was a lie,” he con
tinued. “I am innocent, and that’s all
I have to say abont it.”
In talking of his daughter, the old
man broke down, invoking divine bless
ings upon her and upon all people.
“May God bless everybody,” he said.
From M3 twitching fingers and his
evident restlessness, it was clear that
the old man is not filled with any de
cided'hope that he will live longer than
tomorrow. “If it be God’s will, I will
die,” he said.
Cell Faces Gallows.
The old man is confined in a cell
wMch directly faces the gallows. When
the iron door is opened, by looking he
can see the dangling rope which has
been prepared and is ready for its.
victim.
The rope is affixed to a hook in the
upstairs ceiling of the jail, directly
over the doon through which all prison
ers are led when locked up. The trap
is immediately over the main corridor ’
of the first floor of the jaiL
Today, the rope has been put in read
iness. The trap, wMch has never been
used, has been greased so as to respond
immediately after the trigger is pressed.
Right outside of the old man’s cell, all
of these preparations have been made.
Old Rope Examined. ,
The old rope, purchased for. the ex
ecution of John Perry and which' was
set aside when Perry was the recipient
of executive clemency, was examined,
but was found to^be in a badly raveled
condition, unfit for use.
History of Crime.
Umphrey was convicted of the mur
der of Joseph Pritchett, an aged fanner
living in the Varnells settlement, the
crime occurring in November, 1913.
While loading wood onto- his wagon,
Pritchett was shot in the back from
ambush, the assassin lying in wait for
a suitable moment to earry into effect
a plan he had determined upon.
The killing was without eye-witnesses,
but suspicion immediately centered up
on Umphrey, as he and Pritchett had
not been on friendly terms, and the
old man was heard to have threatened
to kill Pritchett.
The quarrel- between the two men
arose out of the division of some cot
ton, Umphrey being a tenant on Prit
chett’s farm. The matter was arbitrat
ed; bnt Umphrey was clearly far from
satisfied.
Strongest Circumstantial Case.
The state is said to have made out the
strongest ease on circumstantial evi
dence alone, ever known here. In ad
dition to the evidence of many wit
nesses who swore that Umphrey had
told them he intended “fixing old man
Pritchett,”- and had shown them shot
gun shells he intended using, it was
shown that the old man was in the’near
vicinity of the crime on the day it oc
curred, and he had a shotgun with him,
and his shells were loaded with the
same size shot as those that killed
Pritchett. - When arrested, he is said
to have stated, ‘ ‘ They ’ll have to prove
it on me, ’ ’ and it was also shown he
had telephoned to a person living near
Pritchett, asking if anything had hap
pened to him, and this before the ar
rest was made. The dogs which took
the trail, ran it in the direction of. a
house at which Umphrey had been
boarding, losing the trail in the road.
These, and other strong points were
