4-H Clubs Gather in Washington

radio audience how he has completed
eight years of outstandingly s uc-

of soda. As part of its agricultural
development work, this company
takes a keen interest in both the 4-H
Club and Future Farmers of America
and co-operates with their leaders. It
has found that its contests and do¬
nations of American nitrate uf soda,
not only help the boys towards better
farming methods but also enable
them to learn first hand what fine
results this improved product of the
South gives. (Photo by U. 6/ U.)

Prominent Attorney Calls
Pittman “a Common Liar”
In Answer to False
Cowan Censures
Kansas W riter
The Chattanooga Times carried
an article July 2, headed, ‘‘Kan¬
sas Scolds TVA.” This Kansas
Rep , being from Kansas, where
it is so day that the wind blows
the soil away if they plow it ev¬
ery year, would not be a proper
judge of what is good for the
Tennessee Valley wlfcre we have
more water than we can control.
Rep. McGugin is one of
the remaining republicans. They
are getting very scarce and I sup
pose chat is why the Times gives
space for his ravings.
The Federal Government has
for many years spent millions on
Tcnnessee-Mississippi and Mis¬
souri rivers for flood control. They
have always commenced at the
big end and thrown up earth lev-
eee and done some dredging a-
long the streams, and when the
floods come again some of it
would have ta be blasted out and
channel that was dregged fills ub
and it all to be done over again.
The money that the old G. O. P.
spent in this way would of built
all the storagf dams that it will
take to properly control the flood
waters of these streams and
would of reclaimed millions of
acres of land and saves untold
suffering among the- people of the
valley. Now that the Democratic
party has the coHjpl and has be¬
gun the work from the right end
and going at it in a business like
manner, Mr. McGugin awakes and
cries out in his best Republican
voice-“Waste!” He don’t
call it graft in that strong lan
guage appliect but implies all that can be
not to come right out
and say so. But the one remark¬
ed that we resent the most is the
comparison of the TVA deben¬
tures with insull deal has made
the TVA Ne?essary. Insull re
igned under Mr. McGuggin’s
party rule. H»s fitchind of the pub¬
lic wall never be possible again
with TVA on ihe job. Under
the old rule the flood control
could not he worked from the
right end because thev would
have to have an excuse for not
using the power that could be
generated from the dams. Mr.
McGugin said that power could
not be generated as cheap with
hydroelectric dams as with coal.
If that is the c pe, why did the
Tennessee Power Company and
the ^Alabama Power Company
build dams in the heart of t h e
coal fields? In the next breath he
says that the power dams will
put a lot of men out of work. It
can’t put as many out of work as
the Hoover administration did—
and we didn’t even get a power
dam out of it. We would like to
have Mr. McGugin visit the Val¬
ley and when he goes back to the
land of wheat he will have a diff¬
erent story to tell them There are
lots of good people in Kansas
that don’t have the same view as
McGugin does. 1 only wish that
we could furnish them with pow¬
er from the Valley. That may
not. be impossible in a few more
years. God has put the natural
resouises here for our use and all
the InsuDs, McGugirs, Wirts and
Dyers in the world can’t stop the
progress. The new deal is here
stay and the sooner such men as
Mr. McGugin andT. A. Wright of
Harriman Mill, realizes it, the
better they will serve the coun¬
try. They will find that they cant
have tho country adjusted to
meet their demands.

Hon. Hugh Howell
Bitterly Denies the
Charges of Pittman
Hugh Howell, well known At¬
lanta Attorney and chairman of
the State Democratic Executive
Committee, gave out a statement
Saturday vigorously denying the
charges made against him in con¬
nection with pardon cases and a
I construction contract by Claude
Pittman, of Cartersville, candi¬
date for governor in the present
campaign. Mr. Howell managed
the first campaign of Governor
Talmadge and is supporting the
chief executive for re-election.
Mr. Howell stated that he and
Judge Pittman were classmatesat
Emory University and were good
friends until the present camgaign
started. He said he could not
understand why the jurist was
attacking him and closed his state
ment by branding Judge Pitt¬
man as “a common liar.”
Mr. Howell specifically denied
that he received a fee from Phil
Fox, former Ku Klux Klan official
pardon from a life sentence for
murder by Governor falmadge,
or that he received any commiss¬
ion on a road contract as charged
by Pittman.
In his statement, the attorney
said he had presented 11 clemen¬
cy cases to Governor Talmadge,
of which 6 were turned down by
che governor. Two of the others
were charity cases and his total
fees from the remainder were less
than $900, Mr. Howell said. He
added that one of t he cases de¬
clined was that of George Haish.
serving a life sentence on a mur¬
der charge, in which a fee of $25.
000 had been promised William
Schley Howard and Mr. Howell.
Turning t he attacK upon Judge
Pittman, Mr. Howell charges
that the judge held up a motion
for a new trial for eight months
in the case of a negro who had
criminally assaulted a white wom¬
an, urged the governor and prison
commission to commute the sen¬
tence and finally granted a new
trial and accepted a guilty plea
carrying a 20-year sentence in
the case, and that the negro serv¬
ed only a few weeks bi fore es¬
caping.
In closing his reply to the char¬
ges, in which he brings Pittman
“to light”. Mr. Howell uses the
j following paragraph :
“The only words that can ex¬
plain Pittman’s distortion of the
truth, his perversion of the rec¬
ords of his own court and his
miss'atements to the people of
Georgia are, ‘Pittman is a com¬
mon liar.’
All of the false charges madeon
Mr. Howell by PiOm-an are bit¬
terly denied and discussed in full
by the attorney in a release state¬
ment to the weekly papers jfthe
state, and which statement has
already been published by daily
newspape, s. We were unable to
publish the statement as a whole,
due to its length.
Mrs. J. M. Forester, of Hi ad
River, who recently fell and broke
her hip, is at Newell’s Sanitarium,
Chatta., and is gradually improv¬
ing, according to recent word
received from the hospital. Her
condition was considered rather
serious, but it is said that she
will be able to be removed from
the sanitarium within the next
few days.
