Outlaw Declares
For Temperance
Lee Turner, the Famous Out
law, Reforms and Quits
Saloon Business.

Lee A. Turner, of Quarter
House" fame, has declared for
temperance, and is making spec
chcs for the "drys" in the cam
paign that is being waged against
whiskey.
II am in favor of stopping the
sale of whiskey," said Turner.
II know it sounds strange to
hear a former Kentucky outlaw
declare himself for temperance.
but such is my stand. | shall do
all in my power to help the dry
side. l expect to make several
speeches in the campaign. l am
at peace with the whole world
now, and never again expect to
sell liquor"
Turner sprang into promi-
nence as proprietor of the motor
ious Quarter House, which was
situated on the Kentucky-Ten-
nessee State line, near this city.
This saloon was said to b a v e
been the worst blind tiger that
was ever known in this country.
Thirty-fve men we're said to
have been killed within it's walls
during the four years in which
whiskev was sold there.
The Quarter House" was
raided in February, 1902, by
Bell county officers, Six of Lee
Turner's men were killed in the
fight. Two officers from Mid
die eboro also died in this battle.
Lee Turner escaped and was
at large for nearly two years,
finally being arrested in Tennes.
see and returned to Kentucky
for trial. After a long legal bat
tie Turner was cleared, it being
proven that be took no part in
the Quarter House" fight.
After Turner was released
from custody, in 1905, he came
back to Middlesboro and entered
the saloon business, in which he
engaged until few months ago,
when he married Miss Mary
Pridmore, a pretty girl, and re.
tired from the saloon business.

Fines aggregating $150,O00 were

Not only in Ebert county, but all over
Georgia, the indications are that Hon. Hoke
Smith will com pletely sweep the state. Where
his audiences were only few hundred, they
are now reported to be twice as large and more
enthusiastic than before. Nearly every
day his crowds overflow the appointed place for
the speaking. This is done by the neigh boring
town sending large delegations; often by chart
cred trains.
Without exception, every travelling man,
aud every man coming from anywhere, has
recently reported that there is no doubt of his
being the most popular candidate everywhere
and that his election is already assured This
is good news for the people, generally, as he is
emnently well-ftted to accomplish something
in the way of reforms, if anybody can. He is
easily the brainest man in the and his force
full character and determination to work out the
measures which he espouses is Characteristic
OF Hoke Smith that cannot be doubted. His
platform comes nearer to the hearts of the COM
mon people than that of any other candidate,
and that he is taking the state by storm is not
to be wondered at.
A week ago, the talk that the former
populists all over the state were resentlng the
action of the state democratic committee.
That their action has already turned thousands
from all the other candidates to Hoke Smith, is
not questioned. This fact alone has settled the
question in Ebert county, and now Hoke Smith
can carry the county with all ease. 1t is esti-

mated that he will get more votes than all the
others combined. He deserves as much.
This week. it appears that in Gilmer county
where there are many republicans who heard
Hoke Smith, were num- e1 S converted to demo-
cracy and came forward and said they would
vote in the future with the democrats in county.
state and national elections.
It is to be expected that from evident weak
ness that soma of the candidates will follow the
preachers course and withdraw from the race
before the day of election. If they do it will be
in keeping with the tatics that have been pur-
sued all along through the campaign. Either
in the convention or before, the issue will be be.
tween Clark Howell and Hoke Smith.
Nearly everybody now agrees that the race
is really between Clark Howell and Hoke Smith.
and that the other candidates are running only
to help Clark Howell, with the evident purpose
to deliver their followers in the convention hall.
Surely, the intelligent voter in Ebert coun-
ty will not allow himself to be sold and delivered
to anybody but his choice. OF course they will
deny this charge, but don't you know no candi-
date really hopes to be governor, when be only
claims a half dozen counties?
1t is safe to say that Hoke Smith will carry
one hundred counties, leaving forty-fve to be
divided between the other four.
OF course, if you vote for either of the four,
it will go to Clark Howell in the convention, for
he is easily the second choice over the state.-
