If there are supporters OF Gov. Pat

expecting to turn the tide in the
doubtful counties by the purchase OF
that class of voters who are to be
found in nearly every county for sale
to the highest bidder, they had better
try other tactics otherwise they may
find themselves face to face with in
dictments under the act of 1907 TO
promote purity in elections, primaries
and mass conventions. Hon. j. b.

the coming primary for Governor. II

process for changing the lowest grade

A charter will be secured and COM

The new process works by the appli-

one that will probably revolutionize

CLEMENT EVANS
LEADS VETERANS
DEFEATS "oLD TI6E" cABELL IN
MOST EXCITING CONTEST
OF REUNIONS.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 10.-The
eighteenth annual reunion Of United
Confederate Veterans is passing into
history, and the second days session
was marked by a series Of dramatic,
soul-stirring and histOry-making
events.
Never in the history of the organiza-
lion has there been such a scene as
that enacted this afternoon when the
election of successor to be lamented
Gen. stephen D. Lee was brought up.
Almost every delegate was on his feet,
and many were trying to make them
selves heard above the noise. The
names Of Gen. w L. Cabell of Texas,
atectionately called by his comrades
"Old Tige," and Gen. Clement A.
Evans of Georgia had been placed in
nomination, and the supporters of
each were enthusiastic in their efforts
for the election of their favorite. Dis
cord and confusion threatened the
harmony of the great gathering until
the vote was counted, and Gen. Evans
was elected by majority of "a votes.
cabeII Makes it Unanimous.
Then that fine old soldier and gal
liant commander, Gen, Cabell rose
amidst the confusion to second the
motion that the election of Gen. Evans
be made unanimous by reclamation,
and the great noise was stilled and
every eye in the big auditorium was
fixed on the touching picture present
ed as Gen. Evans, who had taken the
stand, stood beside the gallant old
Texas, and with their arms around
each other these two old comrades
told OF their love for each other, ana
in a choking voice Gen. Cabell said,
Thank God, | was beaten by one of
the best soldiers and one of the best
men who ever lived"
Equally as discordant and exciting
was the contest over the next place
of meeting. The convention hall pre-
scented a wild scene when the vote
was called for after the claims of
Memphis and Atlanta were presented
in eloquent and convincing words by
the representatives from the two COM
peting cities. On the first ballot each
state voted as unit, but this was not
satisfactory to many of the delegates,
and protests were so numerous that
the votes could hardly be counted.
Amid much confusion 1t was an
nounced that Memphis received 1882
votes and Atlanta 1,034. Then came |
the climax Delegate after delegate |
stood up and strongly protested
against the manner in which the vote
was cast. Roll call was demanded,
and some of the delegates threatened
to leave the hall. After quiet was
finally restored there was another
vote, which resulted in 1876 for Mem
II ard 1920 for Atlanta.
Even this vote did not seem to sat
sly. and there was further discussion.
The Texas vote figured largely and
some of these delegates wanted to go
% Atlanta.
