by white men. He is sixty-seven
years old, and his life has been one of

night recently, and for several hours
entertained half score of his friends
in his room. He told OF his early boy
hood among his tribe i'll North Caro-

the Indian lands now embracing the
Cherokee Nation, over which he pre-
sided for many years.
In the course of the evening he grew
reminiscent and told many stories, H.

are civilized race do not know a

has not adopted the habits and Gus

poured liberal dram from bottle of
old brandy, "that the Cherokees are
pioneers in the cause of prohibition?

that idea from us. In 1919 the Nation
passed prohibition law, and in 1920

GREAT RESULTS IN oL1NcH.
Brilliant Success of the Recent

lists, who lost no opportunity to intiame
the people against democratic principles

wit a handful of white republicans. and

democracy's phalanX. With the end IN
view OF completely crushing this enemy IN
1nclpency OF its efforts. the chairman of
the democratic committee organized TWO
democratic rallies in the county. the last
of which was held here to-day. Some
weeks since IL was announced that TINS
rally would be held here, that there
would be grand barbecue that Geor-
ga next governor, Atkinson, would be
present, and other speakers to entertain
the people. The sanguine expectations of
the most ardeQt partisan We're more than
realized. The I1EfCiuudes began to pour
in town yesterday afternoon, coming
by foot, by wagon, on horseback and in all
manner of vehicles They came from
morning to noon, and when the speaking
commenced :, 500 were seated under the
Methodist tabernacle. Atkinson spoke

speaker For two hours the vast audience
was held by this gentleman by language
most chaste, argument most clear, in
vective most damning and persuasion
most catching. 1t is conceded that mucn
good was done to democracy by this
rally. Indeed, one of the candidates of the
populists, J. A. Smith, who was on that
ticket for tax receiver, at the conclu-
sion of the speaking came forward and
publicly withdrew from the race, an
nounciug that henceforth he would sup
port the democratic nominees. Many col
ored men of prominence sent up a shout
that they were done with this party of
fraud and deception. Clinch IS jubilant,
and will send up a majority in both state
and national elections.
