DEAN FLAYS HOWARD
IN A JOINT DEBATE
GAINESVILLE CANDIDATE AND
CONGRESSMAN FROM FIFTH
DISTRICT HAVE QUITE AN AF
FAIR LX GAINESVILLE.
Gainesville, Ga., June 29.—1 n joint
debate here today with Congressman
William Schley Howard. Hon. H. 11.
Dean, of Gainesville, candidate for
the United States senate, urged rail
road extension in Georgia and the
southeast, and the construction of
the proposed canal from St. Mary’s
]Ga., through Northern Florida to the
| Gulf. He stressed loyalty to the gov
i eminent and to the president as the
I most important duty of every citizen
.at this time. Mr. Dean declared that
| if Senator Hardwick had worked with
| the administration instead of against
I it, he could have landed the big ni
] trate plant in Georgia instead of Ala-
I ba ma.
In taking up Congressman How
land's record, Mr. Dean declared it his
. purpose to conduct a thoroughly par
i liamentary discussion, confined to
I votes, public speeches, court records
] and public interview's.
I Mr. Dean declared Congressman
I Howard had promised the President
[ he would not run for the senate in
. Georgia, and subsequently sought to
] withdraw’ that promise. This effort
I’t withdrawal brought from the pres
. ident the following very laconic and
(pointed statement:
j •’Your letter just received disap-
I points me very seriously indeed, and
j 1 very much regret it.”
“Tnis would look to an impartial
’observer,” Mr. Dean said, “as if How
lard bad counselled with the president
(::nd had sought his consent to run
j f- r the senate and that the president
| had declined to give it.”
I Mr. Dean next took up the suit for
la liquor bill against Congressman
Howard, in connection with which
he charged the liquor had been bought
to be used in defeating Congressman
‘Lon” Livingston, and that Mr. How
ard had pleaded the statute of limita
tions in order to escape payment. Dlr.
Dean read a letter signed by Mr.
Howard, in reply to a letter he, How
ard, had received from Attorney D.
K. Johnson of Atlanta, who repre
sented R. J. Park, of Chattanooga, in
bringing the suit.
The joint debate was quite an “af
fair,” and was largely attended by
the people of Gainesville and Hall
county. Mr. Howard replied to Mr.
Dean in a vigorous way, but the
crowd was with the Gainesville can
didate.

Handsome Gift of Griffin Citizen to
Burk Count.v. N. C.. Is Greatly
Appreciated.
An event long anticipated was cele
brated last Saturday in Morganton,
N. when a handsome bronze sta
tue, the gift of (’apt. W. .J. Kincaid,
of Griffin, was unveiled on the court
house .‘quaye in that city and the
Confed rate monument was thus com
pleted. 'i he erection of the statue
marks the realization of a long cher
ished dream and the whole of Burk
county i ’ proud of the completed
monument to the memory of the Con
federate dead.
'Hie statue-is the figure of a Con
federate private standing on guard,
the sturdy type of the Southern sol
dier of the ranks. Very appropriately
he stands facing the north. It is nine
feet high and stands on a base of
North Carolina granite, at the bot
tom of which are marble tablets. On
these tablets are inscribed the names
of Burke’s men who fought for the
cause of the Confederacy.
It was particularly gratifying that
Captain Kincaid, by whose generosity
the statue was made possible was
able to be present on the memorable
occasion in Morganton, his old home
city, and make the presentation in
person. He was reared in Burke
county and holds the county and his
friends and relatives there in tender
regard.
