State Chairman Hugh j
Howell’s Persistant
Efforts Rewarded
From Warrenton Clipper
In his celebrated column on
the editorial page of The Atlan
ta Journal. Hon. John T. Boif
euillet, noted writer, gives the
following interesting sketch of
Hugh Howell, native son of
Warrerfion, whose recent elec
tion as chairman of the State
Democratic Convention has been
of great moment to many friends
and relatives here:
Chairman Hugh Howell
Hugh Howell was the alert and
diplomatic permanent chairman
of the recent Democratic conven
tion, and by reason of this posi
tion he became chairman of the
Democratic slate executive com
mittee, which will, for the next
two years In Georgia, have in its
care the direction, guidance and
destinies of the historic and
grand party which was founded
upon the immortal cardinal prin
ciples embodied by the great
Thomas Jefferson in the Decla
ration of lidependence, and sanc
tioned in the constitution of this
republic.
Chairman Howell has thrown
himself enthusiastically into the
patriotic and noble task of as
sisting in giving the Democratic
presidential ticket an over
whelming record-breaking ma
jority in Georgia.
Many persons have asked me
what was the relationship of
Hugh Howell to the two well
known Georgia brothers, Albert
and Clark Howell. The inquiry
A is natural as Hugh Howell has
for years been connected with
Albert Howell’s law office. There
is no blood tie whatever existing
between Hugh Howell and the
two brothers. There fs‘quite an
interesting story as to how Hugh
Howell became associated in Al
bert Howell’s law office. I only
know the narrative partially,
and imperfectly.
Hugh Howell is from Warren
county. When he graduated in
law he had an excellent fund of
legal knowledge. He possessed
will power, perseverance and the
ambition to succeed in his pro
fession. When he was ready to
set his professional sail he was
uncertain in which direction to
steer his young bark. The well
wnown legal firm of Dorsey,
Brewster – Howell held his at
tention. He thought if he could
get a footing his in their office it
meaut starting on a success
ful career.
The youthful lawyer was not
acquainted with Albert Howell,
but one day in the year 1912, he
called at his office, introduced
himself, and asked for employ
ment. Mr. Howell informed
him there was no vacancy in the
office. Hugh Howell was per
sistent. Finally, Albert Howell
told Hugh he would give him a
place in a year. Hugh replied
that he always had heard that
the word of a Howell, no matter
where he was from or to what
branch of the family he may be
long, could be depended upon,
and that he would abide Albert’s

the office and beheld Hugh

are you doihg there?” inquired
AlbeiH. Hugh answered: “You

would give me an appointment.
So I am sitting here, waiting.”
Day after day Hugh occupied
his accustomed chair. One day
a girl whom Hugh knew was in
jured in a railroad accident, I
believe, and Hugh was employed
to sue in her behalf. He won a
verdict, and made a fee of
$1,000. He offered to divide the
fee with Albert Howell’s firm,
but the generous invitation was
declined. Three months later
he picked up a fee of $500.

exactly nllUe, they were picturesque
components of stone walls and rail
fences. Generally there was a step
or two of stone which elevated the
stile base a foot or two above the
ground.
To he sure, there are plenty of com
mercialized turnstiles at the entrances
of fair grounds and amusement parks
to facilitate the collection of tickets
and keep out gate-crashers. These,
however, have but slight relationship
to the rustic stiles of wood, Immortal

N OT on our golden fortunes budded high—
Not on our boasts that soar into the sky—
Not upon these is resting in this hour
The fate of the future; but upon the power
Of him who is forgotten—yes, on him
Rest all our hopes reaching from rim to rim.
In him we see all of earth’s toiling bands,
With crooked backs, scarred faces, shattered hands.
H E seeks no office and he asks no praise
For all the patient labor of his days.
He i3 the one supporting the huge weight:
He is the one guarding the country’s earthly gate. ; j
He bears the burdens on these ways:
We pile the debts, he is the one who pays.
He is the one who holds the solid power
To steady nations in their trembling hour.
Behold him as he silently goes by, r
For it is at his word that nations die.
Shattered with loss and lack,
He is the man who holds upon bis back
The continent and all its mighty loads—
This toiler who makes possible the roads
On which the gilded thousands travel free—
Makes possible our feasts, our roaring boards,
Our pomps, our easy days, our golden hoards.
He gives stability to nations: he
Makes possible our nation, sea to sea.
His strength makes possible our college walls—
Makes possible our legislative halls—
Makes possible our churches soaring the high sky.
With spires, the fingers pointing to
SHALL then this man go hungry, here in lands
Blest by his honor, builded him by his hands? be
Do something for him: let never
Forgotten: let him have his daily bread:
He who has fed us, let him now be fed. i .
Let us remember all his tragic lot—,
Remember, or else be ourselves forgot!
ALL honor to the one that in this hour
Cries to the world as from a lighted tower—
Cries for the Man Forgotten. Honor the one
Who asks for him a glad place in the sun.
He is a voice for the voiceless. Now, indeed, f
We have a tongue that cries the mortal need.
