TERHELL MIT
NOT MEET
6UERHT
THE GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE
HERE GETS LETTER FROM MA
CON MAN CHALLENGING
HIM FOR A DEBATE.
Dupont Guerry. candidate for governor,
has challenged J. M. Terrell, candidate
for governor, to a joint debate on the is*
sue* of the campaign, and while Mr. Ter
rell has made no announcement of his In
tentions in the matter, it is not considered
likely by his friends that he will accept
the offer of Mr. Guerry.
Mr. Guerry* letter, which contained the
formal challenge, was received by Mr.
Terrell yesterday. Mr. Terrell read
the communication and then laid it aside.
He will take it up later. Mr. Terrel! de
clined to make known the contents of the
letter until he had prepared an answer.
He said it would not be treating Mr. Guer
ry with proper respect to allow the com
munication to be published before it had
been considered and answwrd.
It Is understood, however, that the let
ter contained a statement offering Mr.
Terrell the privilege of naming half the
conditions and the places where the de
bates should occur. It is also said the
letter Intimates that if Mr. Terrell de
clines to accept the challenge the chal
lenger will say a few things about the
record of the former attorney general.
Mr. Terrell s friends are confident that
he will be able to care for his record in
•very respect, and furthermore they state
that they are perfectly willing for the
people. Mr. Guerry. or anybody else to go
behind that record and show it up in every
possible form. Then, they say. if it Is
not satisfactory they will hare no more
to say.
There is a great deal of interest in Mr.
Terrell s reply to Mr. Guerry s letter.
While a declination of a joint debate is
expected, the friends of both parties are
anxious to know how Mr t Terrell will de
cline the offer.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY .JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1902.
MORRISON
MM ASKED
TO EMIN
CHURCHMEN ARE AROUSED OVER
A STATEMENT WHICH IS CRED-
ITED TO THE
BISHOP.
A statement hps been credited to Bish
op H. C. Morrison and published in a re
cent issue of the Pentecostal Herald,
which has created considerable comment
among the ministers and laymen of the
Methodist church.
The statement credited to Bishop Mor
rison is in effect that he has seen bish
ops who sh°w an apparent displeasure
during conferences when ministers read
long reports of great revivals, the conver
sion of sinners and the sanctification of
believers.
The Wesleyan Christian Advocate,
which was issued yesterday in pursuance
this statement, calls upon Bishop Morrison
to state who the bishops are that he re
fers to in the accredited statement, and
makes some remarks regarding the ef
fect of such indefinite statements.
The statement printed in The Pentecos
tal Herald as coming from Bishop Mor
rison is as follows:
“I could name at least two bishops who
have Seemed displeased when preachers
in the conference read reports of great
revivals, the conversion of sinners, and
the sanctification of believers. They
gave no words of approval or encourage
ment. but asked sharp questions, and
seemed to question the genuineness of the
work reported. They sent a chill through
the entire conference; earnest preachers,
seeking after souls, hung down their
heads, and were weakened and discour
aged in their efforts."
The Advocate then comments upon the
alleged statement as follows:
“An Indefinite statement of this kind is
cheap courage. If we have any bishop or
bishops who seem ‘displeased when a pas
tor reports a great revival or the conver
sion of sinners,' as Dr. Morrison charges,
he should name them. If his statement is
without the support of facts, ft is singular
that a religious paper, professing to be
the great exponent of a high religious ex
perience. should become the vehicle for
the slander of good men. If Dr. Morrison
has the facts in his possession to warrant
such a charge, he owes it to himself and
to the church, of which he is a member
and a minister, to give the names of the
two b’shops to whom he refers. If what
he charges is true, and he knows it. si
lence is cowardice. He should name
tfiem"’ - ...
In jhfl higher circles of the church much
interest has been aroused over the state
ment. Bishop Morrison may be called up
on officially to state who the bishops are.

THE NEW ROAD.
DAHLONEGA. Ga.. February 5
The Gainesville and Dahlonega Electric
Railway company is at last a reality. For
the past three months the work of grading
and surveying has been pushed with a
vim. and the result is that more than
eight miles have been graded from Gaines
ville toward Dahlonega, and the poles for
the electric wires will be put up in a few
days more.
The work on the large dam and power
house on the Chestatee river, which will
furnish the electric power for the road, is
being pushed to completion by General
Warner, the manager of the company.
The road will follow the valley and river
banks to Dahlonega, a distance of twenty
five mile*, through the richest farming
and mining sections in the south, and
from it can be viewed some of the finest
natural scenery that north Georgia af
fords. This will be the only railroad in
Lumpkin county, and its freight carrying
district extends over a radius of 50 miles.
Dahlonega Is one of the leading cities
in north Georgia, situated in a gold min
ing district claimed by experts to be equal
ly as rich tn minerals as Cripple Creek. It
is also a favorite and healthy summer re
sort, standing on an elevated spot 2.000
feet above sea level. In Dahlonega also is
situated one of the moat flourishing
branches of the State university. the
North Georgia Agricultural and Military
college, which is doing much good to this
section, and the young men and women
of the entire and adjoining states.

POLICE OF ATLANTA THINK

Jack TJracy, known as Jack the Ripper,
is believed to be headed for Atlanta, if,
indeed, he is not already here. J. P.
Cleary, chief of police in Rochester, N.
Y.. some time ago -wired Chief Ball to look
out for the ripper. The wire was not made
public at the time, as it was hoped the
police would be able to locate the man.
This they have failed to do. and it is an
open question whether the man is in At
lanta or not.
Another communication was received
from the Rochester chief Sunday offer
ing a reward of SSOO for the capture of the
man. He is about 35 years of a/e, black
hair, black mustache and touches the toes
only of his right foot to the ground. On
his right forearm is tattooed the figure of

IS GUM OF
POISON
HIS APPOINTMENT 18 DEFINITELY
DECIDED UPON AND HE WILL
BEGIN HIS DUTIES AT
ONCE.
A dispatch from Washington announces
the appointment of Rev. Tulius C. Tupper
as chaplain of the federal prison in Atlan
ta. The appointment was finally decided
upon by Attorney General Knox Tues
day.
Dr. Tupper in his candidacy for the
place had strong indorsements. These in
cluded bishops of the church, brother min
isters of the gospel, statesmen from Geor
gia and elsewhere as well as public and
professional men. His appointment is a
signal victory for those friends of the
Democratic ranks whp supported him for
the place. ♦ .
Dr. Tupper has 1 een a resident of Atlan
ta for more than,ten years. He came here
from Leavenworth, Kas., having been
called to the rectorate of St. Phillip's
church. Later he resigned from the pul
pit and did ministerial work in other
states. During the Spanish American war
he was army chaplain and proved a good
campaigner.
After the war be went to North Caro
lina. but later returned and was made as
sistant rector of St. Luke's church which
place he held uqtil recently. The chap
laincy of the prison pays $1,500.
“Most Popular and the Most Powerful
Book In the Whole World.”
When a girl I possessed a toy snake,
whose -undulating, snake-like movement
was so perfect a ■ counterpart of nature
that it were almost impossible to resist
shrinking back .whenever it, approached
yoth My brother, some; years my junior,
had as constant companion a neighbors'
boy. This child had a mortal dread' of
the ’riper.’ He all Qufifrad spasms when
threatened with its.contact. ‘‘l am not
afraid of It,” he wduld say 1 , "but I just
dong want it on me-.”
I wonder if Bishop Candler’s "I am not
afraid of ghosts,” appearing in your col
umns several days since, may not have
been uttered in somewhat the same spirit
es that manifested by my quandam little
acquaintance? If, indeed, he is not afraid,
why does he fight so? Why so constantly
keep up such a bellgerent attitude? Why
does he so constantly keep on his war
paint, as if he fain would do battle? Why
does he keep his gun epeked and primed
ready at any momerft to fire? If he keeps
thus tn a state of preparation to ward off
ghosts, what do yqu suppose he would
■consider sufficient Armament if he were
expecting to meet a formidable foe?
“Which the same L rise to explain.’’
I think if he were approached some time
while so furiously “beating the air” and
he were questioned as to the curious an
tics he was practicing, he would answer,
like the man in “Georgia Scenes." “I was
just seeing how I .could a’ font.” Ah!
you would say, with a sigh of satisfac
tion, that explains it.
But. seriously, we quite agree with
Bishop Candler. There is no cause for
alarm. Truth is imperishable, and if we
will but let this criticism run Its course,
only so much of It will stand as has the
stamp of truth on it. Let it alone; if it be
of God it will stand. Let him read 11.
Cor., iv. chap.. Bth and 9th verses, and he
will find it a source'of comfort and
strength to his soul.
“We are troubled on every side, yet not
distressed: we are perplexed, but not in
despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast
down, but not destroyed.”
Os course, it is contrary to nature to
sit idly and see one's cause in apparent
danger, but if fight we must, let us keep
to legitimate weapons of warfare; let us
confine ourselves to dignified argument.
Let us cast aside vituperation and scorn
to descend to the level of political mud
slinging.
It is hardly fair to. liken the utterances
of hlgh-souled, honest gentlemen to the
“braying of a meadow musician” or “the
puling efforts of self-inflated men to ex
hibit the little learnlrtg they may have ac
quired.” It is hardly fair to class all criti
cal comment upon Scripture as infidelity,
and to list all critics in the same category
with Tom Paine, Hume and Voltaire.
I do not here allude altogether to the
“press dispatches from the neighborhood
of Chicago.” Those gentlemen may have
deserved all that could be said of them.
In the absence of definite information I
cannot pess judgment. But Bishop Cand
ler takes his cudgel and make a general
dash at “pert pulpiteers and callow col
lege professors,” leaving no measure for
the limitatlqna to be put on those to be
included in his scope of j-vectlve.
And if It be claimed that the higher
critics are not here attacked but merely
“pert pulpiteers and callow college pro
fessors,” then again I say that isn't fair.
It Is these men of a high order of Intellect
that “ought to know better.” Courage
should always spare the weak. These P.
P.s and C. C. P.s being found in the like
ness of an ass know no speech but the
speech of an ass—“bray” they must.
Yes, let us hope that our leaders will
cease to bespatter their Episcopal ermine
iy getting down in the mud; let them
keep to dignified argument, remembering
ever that “a sneer is no argument at all.”
•Sometimes a David may down a Goliath
with simple and unwarllke weapons. We
must remember, too, that there are minds
so conconstructed that they cannot sub
scribe to every “Ipse dixit” that is flaunt
ed at them. It must be remembered, too,
that many of these critics, so mercilessly
attacked, love God and His book as much
as even the good bishop, to whom we
have herein alluded,-
Ah, me! that those who labor for the
Lord would ever do so affectionately; not
abusively, but appealingly, as when Paul
said, “Brethren, my heart's desire and
prayer to God for Isreal is that they
might be saved.” *

at Athens to succeed Pink Morton, color

he had selected Mr. Fleming from the list
of applicants and the nomination will go
to the senate this afternoon.
Fleming received the indorsement of the
party machine in Georgia and has been
highly recommended by leading people of
Athena.
The appointment closes one of the hot
test fights for office that President Roose
velt has encountered.
Morton made a desperate effort to re
thin the office, and his name was at one
time on the list of appointments to be sent
to the senate.
It was through the protests of Senator
Clay and Representative Howard that the
Classic City is rid of its negro postmas
ter. though neither has any part in the
appointment of Fleming, it is said.
The Georgia delegation only asked that
the president remove the negro, leaving
the matter of his successor to the Repub

MISS STONE’S GIRLHOOD
FRIEND IN CHATTANOOGA
CHATTANOOGA, Feb. 5.-Mrs. A. S.
Steele, founder of the Steele Orphanage
here, was the intimate friend, and com
panion of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the mis
sionary who was captured by brigands,
in her school days. Mrs. Steele says of
Miss Stone in an interview:
“Ellen M. Stone was my most familiar
friend in our school days and during our
young womanhood—a friendship that has
never been broken. She was sent out to
the foreign field by the ladies of the three
Congregational churches of Chelsea. Mass.
Miss Stone was a member of the Chestnut
Street Congregational church, Rev. Mr.
Tltsworth, now of Milwaukee, being pas
tor. She went to the foreign field at the
same time that 1 was sent to the home
missionary field. She was a teacher In the
city of Chelsea when she resigned to go
abroad. That was In October. 1878. Her
mother and my mother were early friends.
Miss Stone is 56 or 56 years of age. She al
ways addresses me as ’Dear Silent Part
ner.' because we are so far apart.
“Miss Stone chose the foreign field be
cause she felt that there was such a
dearth of interest in that work, evtn
though she was doing finely in the home
field. She had charge of the infant depart
ment in her own home church; ehe was a
fine singer, and lent her influence and as
sistance to many phases of church work.
Her heart, however, was fixed on work
ing abroad. She was an only daughter.
"•■Myra,? she said to me. ‘I have this
hope, that by njy going—when,humanly,
speaking, 1 would be greatly needed here,
being an only daughter—other hearts may
be turned to the foreign field, and that
my going will quicken the Interest of
many tn that branch of the work.’
“And surely it has been so. Her mother,
before Ellen's birth, was deeply interest
ed in foreign missions. She publicly dedi
cated her daughter to the Lord, saying: ‘T
dedicate this child to thee; take her into
thy service, and. if it is thy will, into the
foreign field.’ But she never told her
daughter, and Ellen never knew it until
after her decision to go abroad, wlien her
mother told her.
“Miss Stone was at one time on the ed
itorial staff of a religious paper, under Dr.
H. M. Dexter. She was a rare worker in
every department. She is vivacious, bright,
sunny and active, delighting to be a com
fort to every one with whom she comes
in contact.”

young and innocent to know what he did,
drank the fatal poison that sat at the bed
side. Death followed quickly, and the lit
tle fellow preceded his mother into the
great beyond.
Lonely and desolate is the home that
was once so happy, and Mr. Livingston is
left with none but his little baby child to
share his sorrow. Mr. Livingston is an
engineer on the Atlanta and West Point
railroad. The double tragedy that hangs
over his home, filling It with sadness, has
touched many hearts with gentle sym
pathy.

COMM FIGHT
GOVERNOR VF MINNESOTA READS
MESSAGE AND ATTACKS
ROAD COMBINE.
ST. PAUL. Minn., Feb. 5.»-At 10:30
o’clock, before the session of the legisla
ture. which had»been assembled in extra
session, to receive the report of the tax
commission and the measures presented
by that body for enactment, Governor
Van Sant today read his message.
After reciting the occasion for the extra
session to be the desire to secure a re
vision of the somewhat mixed tax laws
of the state, he urged that immediate
action on the matter be taken looking
to the passage of laws suggested by the
commission. He argued against any dis
crimination in the laws. especially
against those which might make the poor
bear an unequal share of the burdens of
taxation. He endorsed a permajient tax
commission. The only other subject dis
cussed is the so-called railroad merger,
of which he says:
“Believing that the Northern Securi
ties company corporation was organized
for the purpose of evading and violating
the laws of Minnesota, by- consolidating
the properties of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific companies, which com
panies run iferallel and competing lines
of railway within the state, I requested
Attorney General Douglas to bring suit
in the name of the state to prevent such
consolidations.”
He then quqtes from the statutes cov
ering the cake and coninues:
“That the Northern 'Securities compa
ny can. and if, not prevented by the
courts, will merge or consolidate the lines
and propertlfs of the two railroad com
panies under one management is evi
denced by reference to certain sections of
the articles of incorporation of the North
ern Securities company.
"The Northern Securities company is
authorized not only to vote the stock of
the Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Railway companies.' and thus exercise all
the powers ahd pHvlleges of ownership
and control, but specifically empower the
corporation to do any acts or things de
signed to enhance the value of the stock
of the companies mentioned, which, of
course, includes the right to increase
freight rates directly or to change the
classification of freight so as to increase
the rates.
“Knowing that several other states in
addition to Minnesota would be affected
by this consolidation. I deemed it wise
to call a conference of the governors and
attorneys general of the states through
which the lipes of railway passed, in or
der that sortie uniform method of proced
ure might be adopted. This conference
was held at Helena. Mont. There were
present the governors and attorneys gen
eral not only of our state, but of Mon
tana, South Dakota and Idaho and attor
ney general of Washington. Owing to
the death of the governor of the last
named state, just prior to the confer
ence. his successor. Governor Mcßride,
was unable to attend. Governor Mcßride
has since called the attention of the peo
ple of his state to the dangers threatened
by the consolidation of these two compa
nies. The conference was harmonious
throughout and that the official represen
tatives of the various states were wholly
in sympathy with the action of this state
and its determination to oppose this con
solidation.
"It was decided to bring the suit in the
supreme court of the United States in the
first instance.”
If the final decision should be against
the state, the governor declares, the case
will be decided by t>e court of public
opinion, which he regards as above all
courts. *
In conclusion the governor urges that
the legislature appropriate sufficient funds
to allow the legal department of the state
to secure necessary assistance to meet the
expense of combatting the consolidation.

SlUiUt
COCA COLA COMPANY WINS
TO RECOVER INTERNAL REVE
NUE TAXES—OTHER COM
PANIES INVOLVED.
Within 15 minutes from the time the
case was given to the Jury in the case of
the Coca Cola company against Henry A-
Rucker, the internal revenue collector, a
verdict in favor of the Coca Cola company
was resumed yesterday in the United
States court. The verdict refunds the
Coca Cola company $10,858.86.
The case has been pending before Judge
Newman since last Friday and was a very
important one- The Coca Cola company
was sueing for the recovery of revenue
taxes from the government to the amount
of $10,858.86, paid to the government from
July 1. 1898. to July 1, 1899. The full amount
sued for was allowed by the decision of
th* court. _
The case was rapidly disposed of yes
terday. At 11 o’clock Attorney Reuben
Arnold concluded his argument. Twenty
minutes later Judge Newman had deliv
ered his charge to the jury and after 15
minutes of deliberation the jury returned
its verdict, finding in favor of the plain
tiff. Attorneys Arnold A Arnold argued
the case before Judge Newman for the
plaintiff, while Judge John S. Candler rep
resented the plaintiff in Washington. The
United States attorney, E. A. Angier, and
Attorney G. R. Bell appeared for Collector
Rucker.
The decision of the court is regarded as
a great victory by the Coca Cola com
pany. as there are several other suits of
similar nature to come up before the April
term of the court. These suits lr>Volve.An
amount of about $30,000. making a total
amount of $40,000. The attorneys for the
Coca Cola company maintain that the de
cision "yesterday practically settles the
other suits, as these suits are of the same
nature.
The decision of the court yesterday
also decides that Coca Cola, is a drink and
not a medicine, as the taxes recovered
were paid to the government under the
clause of the revenue tax assessing pro
prietory medicines.
SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS
MAY OPPOSE SHIRAS
CHARLOTTE, N. C., Feb. 5.—A Wash
ington special says that a number of
southern Republicans are going to ra«ke
a united fight for the privilege of naming
a successor to Judge Shiras, who has Indi
cated his intention to retire from the su
preme court bench at an early date. They
will give their endorsement to Charles
Price, of Salisbury, the well known attor
ney for the Southern Railway, company.
Many feel that the south is entitled to thia
high honor, and there is a report in cir
culation that the president shares thia
view, although it cannot be traced to any
official source. Anyway, much interest is
being taken in the matter.
PNEUMATIC MAIL TUBES

PENSiONffIiITS
NEARLY COMPLETED
COMMISSIONER LINDSAY WIIX
FINISH HIS WORK BY FEB
' RUARY 20TH.
Payment of pensioners in Georgia will
be completed by February 20th. Treasurer
Park announced yesterday that there were
only a few counties that had not received
money for the old soldiers and their wid
ows. and he thought by February 20 Com
missioner Lindsay will have drawn all of
the funds from the treasury appropriated
to pay the pensions.
The record so far has been remarkable.
For the first time in the history of the
state the pensioners have received nearly
all their money before March. Commts
sioner Lindsay has employed several
clerks in his office to assist him in the
work. He has the payment by counties
thoroughly systematized, and the result
is the work progresses more rapidly than
usual.
It Is understood that an effort will be
made at the next session of the legislature
to pay the pensioners quarterly Instead of
yearly. This would entail a great deal of
extra work on the pension commissioner,
but it is said that it would be better for
the pensioners to get their small sums
every three months instead of once a
year, as it is thought that they would not
spend it so rapidly.
Dr. Kelly, of Glascock county, who is a
representative in the legislature, said a
few days ago that he would introduce
such a bill and work for its passage.
BIRD S. COLER DINES
CITiZEN COMMITTEE
NEW YORK. Feb. 6.—Former City
Comptroller Bird S. Coler has given a
complimentary dinner, by the citizens’
committee of 100 in Brooklyn. Five hun
dred persons were present. Many of the
Democratic leaders of Brooklyn and this
city were among them. Mr. Coler spoke
against dictatorship in politics, but de
clared himself an organization Democrat,
as organization is necessary in politics.
David B. Hill sent a letter of regret, in
which he paid many compliments to the
guest of honr.
Mrs. Wilkins is quite correct in her opin
ion that: “A pedestal is a mighty uncom
fortable perch for anything but a marble
statue." Yes. but anything except a mar
ble statue can come down off his perch
when he gets tired of it.
