Howell Announces for Governor. KILL OPPOSE BEN
TILLMAN.
Atlanta, Ga., November Clark Howell’s formal announce-
meat was given to “The Democratic Voters of Georgia” through
the papers* this morning. It takea up over three columns of space
and Is regarded as a very strong presentation of his views.
It was also announced today that John T. Bolfeulllet of DIbb,
•bad been selected as his manager and that he bad secured the
“luc. y room” at the Kimball House for his headquarters.
Mr. Howell’s announcement gives an interesting review of the
work which Democracy has done for Georgia, especially In striking
down all fear of negro domination at a time when “Ignorant hosts
were drunk with the Intoxication of new-found freedom and fran-
CUwlJ.” • * <
Let's Let Well Enough Alone.
He touches upon the proposition to restrict the ballot to those
educationally qualified la the following manner
pie of ih.s
“The basic principle
54, atti
of the c<
proposed legislation, the educational
gitf dUf of the coi.on patch Into the negro colleges. It will mean an
ncrease of negro votes over the votes of the Illiterate white man, or
else will mean tne Inauguration of a system of illegal evasions, which
will be fraught with (.anger to the state.
“Mote than that, it will mean tne actual disfranchisement oi
thousands of white men in Georgia, and especially of men In the
country communities where educational advantages have not been
ao great as *n the cities.
"The ready purse of the northern philanthropist opens the door
iff the negro college to all who wish to enter. .Make the ballot the
prize education and in ten years’ time the negro graduate will
flaunt that ballot In the face of every prior white boy in Georgia
whom .poverty hr misfortune has deprived of education. „
'I nuer the present primary sy:tem the negro, absolutely shorn
of political power by legal methods, has accepted the situation,
trader, tne present plan, the principles of democracy have been ad
ministered by democrats placed In office by democratic voters In un
broken succession since the war. ,
“Thoreiore, as a citizen of Georgia and a democrat, I echo the
sentiment that, ns to disfranchisement: ‘LET WELL ENOUGH
ALONE.’
In Regard to the Corporations.
Mr. Howell states bis position in regard to corporations In the
following language:
am unalterably opposed to any policy of government under
which foreign corporations may derive any benefit, advantages or
protection denied to citizens of Georgia.
"I am equally opposed to any policy of state government formu
lated. intended or administered to deter the Investment of foreign
capital in Georgia property, or to confiscate such capital when so
invested.
• While I advocate ihe Htrlet and fearless enforcement of the
InwH provided by our constitution and statues for fho protection of
W.w people against corporate aggression, oppression and monopoly,
1 favor Just af. earnestly the protection of every property right to

Some f lnterestlng Questions Propound
•d in South Carolina and an Inter
esting Situation is Presenting Itself.
The Outlook ie Brought for a Warm
Campaign. - <
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 20—"What
has become of Senator Tillman?" The
question la asked frequently meaning,
'Why has he given up his campaign
against prohibitionV* Next year the
question may in truth-
What has become or B.
It la believed that If the right man
offers for the democratic nomination,
Senator Tillman may be defeated.
Of course he is not a beaten man
yet and just anybody and everybody
need not apply but if the right man
can be found, B. It. Tillman’s political
history will have been written, is an
opinion expressed.
It is stated on reliable authority
that Senator Tillman will be opposed
by Col. Geo. Johnstone, of Newberry.
Whether any other candidates will or
fre remains to be seemlt Is quite
probable that Govern Jfcjfcy ward will
not offer. He has beM^uie represen
tative of all of the peopld of the state
for four years and the announcement
of his withdrawing from politics has
caused great regret. But he has lost
a great deal of money since he enter
ed politics and he feels that he must
look out for some occupation In
which ho may find the means of re
storing his fortunes.
Senator Tillman was scratched by
20,000 voters out 85,000 in 1900 be
cause he attacked the alleged "unholy
alliance between preachers and ba£
keepers" to defeat the dispensary. Ho
had no opponent and yet 20,000 peo-

“The state owes lo all Invested capital a square deal, and fair

The Wail of Calamity Howler.
"Finally, throughout the coming campaign and hereafter, I shall
pithi-civ discountenance he wails of calamity and disaster and un-
BUKtallied comb lunation with which those, who for ninny years
have been active in the conduct of the affairs of state and of the
Democratic party have been besot.
“At a time when the laws are being administered with Impartial
justice we hear < iiargcs which traduce and malign every department
of state government, criticising the Democratic organization for the
past twenty years attacking not only the officials now In position,
but assailing the administration of the white people of Georgia un
der Democratic leadership ior the past two decades—
‘At a time when corporations-are eagerly exercising the right of

when many 'enterprising communities in Georgia are
enmoitiy striving to secure railroad faclMtes, the bold declaration
Is publicly made that no outside capital, ns such, shall be protected
In Its rights of railroad ownership In Georgia, but that those who
have already constructed tho lines which have contributed to the
development of tho state shall be forced to forfeit their property or
sell their rights to others, without reserving even the right to np-
peal to the courts for protection.
To the extent of my ability I shall contend that the fair people
of Georgia are not responsible for. nor responsive to. these protests
of possesion, these cries of corruption, these clamors for confiscation.
Wisdom, Justice. Moderation.
“1 oelleve with all my convictions that Georgia stands foremost

crimes and misfeasance may be committed within her borders can

“The people of this stato In inelr public voice have ever ex

"This wise and conservative spirit has successfully brought

a great deal of the time to his bed
Hon. E. Brown, one of luike City’s
moat prominent and well-known citi
zens, died at 1 o’clock last Friday
night at Ills homo In this city.
Tho deceased wqs sixty-five years
of age and wns reared in Columbia
county, where he has held many offl
clal positions of trust and honor.
Besides a widow .he leaves a large
family of children, all of whom have
grown to womanhood nnd manhood.
Those who reside in this city are
Messrs Gordon and Max Brown, who

A BIG DEFICIT IN THE

Washington, D. C. Nov. ‘<41.—Post
Master General Oortelyou, has complet
ed the estimates for the Postal depart
nient for the year ending Jane 80th,
1907, which is placed at a hundred and
ninety three million dollars, an in
crease over the last appropriation of
twelve million dollars. The deficit for
the year coding last June was fourteen
and a half millions, which represents
the actual cost of the postal service to
the people.
A novelty which attracted much at
tention at the flower show In Chicago
was the smallest roso in the world.
It U grown in a flower pot no larger
than one’s thumb aud the full blown

The south la for Mr. Roosevelt fot
another term probably because It real
lies that a democratic president with
a republican senate would be power
less to ;lean out the. grafters, and
that any other republican president

now stands charged with
to South Carolina and ifieddled in
the dlapensnry fight. "Ofy, but it Is
my baby,” says (he senator. And was
not South Carolina ns dear to Hamp
ton as the dispensary is to Tillman
To return to the case In point, Till
man's career Is charged by many peo
ple In the state with inconsistencies.
One wedge being used against him Is
that after having charged the "Bour
bon” administrations with Improper
conduct he Inaugurated a government
which In Its demoralized condition
shows by investigations recently
made and In progress that there has
been lost through rascality and
through the election of Incompetent
officials something like a quarter of
a million dollars!
In every county In which Senator
Tillman has spoken, the dispensary
has been rejected and now he ha#
left the state and Is campaigning else
where He did not speak In Florence
and the dispensary won there. Is
this merely a coincidence or does it
show that tho people resent his "dip
ping In."
Tillman’s forte is his ability to
prod. His weakness perhaps Is his
Inability to stand prodding. George
Johnstone can give and he can take.
Tiltmnn cannot stand ridicule and In
vectlve.

disgraceful flstcuff with McLaurln
