" , 24 THE VALDOSTA £8, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 25, 1905. i, 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 Indications That Pitchfork SI man is on the Wane.. t— 'JV Mired: .

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.

Nov. 19—After an illness of many months, during which time he was confined to his home nnd 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 recently removed to Macclenny practice law; Misses Ruth, Janie and Orrle Brown; Nic Brown, residing with his brother at 1-nke Park, Ga., and Robert Brown at Blounts Ferry, others. A BIG DEFICIT IN THE POSTAL DEPARTMENT Col Henry NVatterson calls Pres- lent Roosevelt “a messlah of breth- Roosevelt can regard this as of the "last of the slab!* 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 flowed Is barely half an inch in diameter. 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 4poId be unwilling. Tillman’* 1a(*. of fact, his flagrant inconel] 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. Spooner’s taunts drove him to a disgraceful flstcuff with McLaurln on tho floor of the senate. Queen Shoes.
