GIBSON RECORD Published to Furnish the People ot Glascock Coun ty a Weekly Newspaper and as a Medium for the Advancement of th e Public Good of the County. VOL. XXXVIII. No. 52. 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 4* r :■ ■ , mm : ■ EDWIN MARK HAW Edwin Markham, author of "Tha Man With tha Hoe,” “Lincoln, the Man of the People,” and other fa mous poems, has written a poem to “The Forgotten Man,” dedicated to Franklin D.

Hugh answered: “You told me to wait a year and 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.

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.
