Democratic Workers Are Up and

Especial to The Herald.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IL
Chairman Jones, of the Democratic
national committee, will probably
leave Washington for Chicago ON
Wednesday.
BY that time, it is expected, the
Washington branch of the COM
mittee will be thoroughly organ
lied.
Representative McMillfn, of
Tennessee, is engaged in the pre-
paration of a Democratic cam
paign book.
At a conference between Senator
Jones and others with McMil4n
last week, the latter was request
ed to take charge of that work,
and he at once set about assem-
bling material Matters are in SUCH
a shape that he can do the work
speedily, and it is expected the
book will be ready TO issue by the
time Bryanis letter of acceptance
is received. The money question
Will be made a feature of the book,
but the tariff and other questions
will not be ignored. 1t is still
matter of uncertainty when Sem
ator Jones will announce the rest
Of the campaign committee and
members of the executive COM
mittee. TIE members selected are

get down to work at once. The
rest will be named as soon as pos
sible, perhaps before the senator
leaves for Chicago. 1t is probable
that one of the vacancies VIII be
filled by the selection of a silver
Republican, probably Senator Du-
bois will be associated in some
manner with the management of
the campaign in the west The
proposition to have western branch
headquarters has been discussed,
but since the principal head
quarters have been taken TO Chi
cage, this may be deemed unneces-
sary. A very large volume of the
campaign work will be done here
in Washington. The sub-com-
mittee of the campaign committee
located here Will cooperate with
the congressional committee and
the two committees will work al
most as ONE
Clark Howell. of the Atlanta.
Constitution, will probably be in
charge of the newspaper end Of the
work.

tied it around his neck and jumped Off.
He leaves a large family.
AT HOLDEN.
Today Holden got its share of the
floods. A large one came down this aft
ternnon, taking the same course as for
mer ones. No lives lost and but little
damage done During the storm, light
ming struck a cart containing Ed Wood,
H. Ashby, and a small boy, of Holden.
The horse was killed outright and the
two men were burned considerably, but
will recover. The boy came out I'm
hurt.
1t has been raining here all day-a
regular downpour-an it is still COM
ing.
At $50 a terrible roaring noise could
be heard, giving the people warming of
another big flood. 1t reached the town
at $50 and was almost as large as the
July l. Boulders, stumps, logs, lum-
Der and dead animals came with it. 1T
is doing but little damage in lower part
of town. but it is thought lit will do
considerable in the old fields. 1t is
feared the oniy sawmin left in the cam
yon is washed away.
At this writing. $50 o'clock, the water
has abated but a few inches.
