CLARK HOWELL MADE VOTES
As announced, Hon. Clark Howell, the democratic candidate for
governor of Georgia, addressed the voters of Dooly county at the
court house in this oity Thursday.
Mr. Howell arrived in Vienna at about 10 o'clock from Macon and
was met by a committee and escorted to the Butler House where he
stopped during his stay in the city. Although his time was limited,
Mr. Howell met many of our most prominent citzens who willingly
gave him assurance of their support.
When Mr. Howell,‘accompanied by the committee, entered the
court room he was greeted with much applause, Mr. Howell was
introduced to the audience as the democratic candidate for governor
by Col. W. H. Lasseter, one of Vienna’s prominent attorneys, in a
short but appropriate speech.
Mr. Howell commenced his address by congratulating the good
people of Dooly upon the wonderful development this county has
made during the past few years, and said that few counties in Georgia
Mrs. U. A. Sims, the subject of
tills sketch was burn in Rockingham,
I’ounty, N. C. In the year 1815, came
to Jones'county, Ga.. in 1818. She re
sided there until 1851, coming then to
Dooly county, nearConey, whereshe
spent five years, afterwards moving
to her present residence one utile west
of Vienna in 1856 where site has lived
ever since.
She says that bridges over creeks
and rivers were unknown almost and
they had to ford and ferry all the
way and that there was a great deal
of danger attached to traveling in
those days
As is well known N. C , is a great
tobacco growing state. Many people
however, are not aware that in those
days it was peddled in wagons from
that state through tills country. Mrs.
Sims’ brother Mr. Ray, made yearly
visits through Georgia in his tobacco
wagon and Mrs. Sims came out witli
him on one of his trips and located
here. Her husband A. J. Sims, died
in 1860, just before the war betwoeu
the states was declared and site was
left a widow in those perilous times
which made it worse than at other
times as those that lived to pass
through can testify.
She used to be a good shot with her
old long muzzle loading shot gun. I
have often heard her speak of killing
squirrels in a large hickory tree that
stood In the edge of woods near her
house.
Mts. Sims has been a Missionary
Baptist for a long time and attended
churoh regularly until the lost six or
eight years, her health not permit
ting.
I expect the people that have lived
in Dooly longer than she has are few
and think how many and what won
derful changes that have took place
In 60 years. G. W. T.

BY PRESENTING REAL FACTS
‘ HON. CLARK HOWELL.
had established themselves on a more solid basis. He showed plainly
that there was no ground here fur the calumny howling- campaign
which is being dished out to the people in every section of the state,
and the applause that followed showed that the people here had no
sympathy for such a campaign.
Mr. Howell then took up the disfranchisement, proposition that
Mr. Smith devotes so unit It time to. -He clearly demonstrated to
those present the iuipossii ilit-y ot disfranchising the negro by an
educational qualification, and showed t-lmt while disfranchising the
ignorant blacks, the uneducated white man would lie deprived of the
priviligo of the ballot box. He said he wouldn’t have the office of
governor if he hud to get it by taking the ballot away from a single
whiteman in Georgia, no matter how poor and how humble he muy
be, and great applause followed tliie statement. Mr. Howell showed
how illiterate white men hud been disfranchised, and how factional
differences had even resulted in the disfranchisement of a well-edu
cated minister in Virginia. Amid great applause, Mr. Howell showed
how Mr. Smith, who only u few years ago fought disfranchisement on
the same grounds which Mr. Howell and others are now fighting it,
had changed his views on the subject and hud now made it u part of
his platform.
To those present Mr. Howell proved that he was not interested
in any railroad, and not the oandidute of the railroads and the big
corporations, as stated by his enemies. He stated that while he was
a member of the legislature and senate, he hud worked mid voted for
two measures that had put many thousands of dollars into the state
treasury, and said he did this at a time when Mr. Smith was riding
over the country in a private car with a free pass in his pocket. He
dared Mr. Smith or his frieuds to look at his public record and show
one single instance tfrhere he had voted in favor of the railroads and
against the people.
Mr. Howell’s defense of the democracy of Georgia and the great
part it has played in the government of the state since the civil war,
was loudly applauded.
In regard to the statement Mr. Smith inude here Tuesday that
the corporations are electing their own senators; that they are using
money to secure the nomination of their candidates in the state
primaries, Mr. Howell asked him to prove it.
“Why don’t he prove it?” Mr. Howell usked. “Why don’t he
put his finger here or there, and say ‘here is the man who was elected
by the money of the corporations; here is where money was spent to
carry the election; here is the corporation that used money for this
purpose.” Why don’t he do that? If he did he could put the guilty
parties in the penitentiary. If I made such a charge, mud had, as he
says he has, evideucetn prove it, 1'<I come out like n man and say
when and where and by whom the dirty work was done.”
Mr. Howell statedthat the reason that Mr. Smith made such a
broad statement was the fact that a majority of the legislators who
have already been nominated were against him on his frandelent and
dangerous disfranchisement proposition, and said that Mr. Smith
was now getting ready to make some excuse because he knows it
will not pass.
Mr. Howell was given a generous applause at the conclusion of
his address, and many shook hands with him, assuring him of their
support. His friends here feel sure that his plain statement of facts
will result in putting Dooly in the Howell column.
At 1:17 Mr. Howell left for Edison where he spoke today, and
was accompanied by Mr. Fred Lewis, staff correspondent for the
Atlanta Constitution.
