Hon. Warner Hill, campaign manager for Hon. J. M. Terrell, candidate for gov ernor. has sent to S. C. Tapp and James L. Anderson, campaign managers in At lanta for Dupont Guerry, an interesting reply to their challenge to Mr. Hill to have Mr. Terrell meet Mr. Guerry in a joint debate. The reply Is one that will bo read with widespread interest'throughout the state As announced In The Journal of several days ago 8. C. Tapp sent a challenge to Mr. Hill requesting Mr. Hill to arrange for a joint discussion between the candi dates. Mr. Tapp outlined the thing” which Mr. Guerry was fighting and said that a discussion of these Issues were de sired. ‘ Now Mr. Hill comes back and says Mr. Terrell's position when he declined to meet Mr. Guerry In .joint debate early in the campaign had proven to be a correct one. as has been evidenced by Mr. Guer ry s speeches since that time. Mr. Terrell stated in his letter to Mr. Guerry that it was useless io meet on the stump and in dulge In personal abuse. Mr. Hill says that Mr. Guerry's rpeeches have been de voted mainly to attacking Mr. Terrell. Mr. Hill then quotes from Tapp’s letter as follows: ”1 note you say that Mr. Guerry will speak again tn Atlanta at an early day upon these uqestlons.' vis: (1) ‘The solu tion of the evils of the liquor traffic; (2) chronic lobbyism; (3) railroad domination of state affairs and politics to selfish and corrupt ends; (4) railroad Immunity from fair and equal taxation and from the su pervision of Georgia courts and Georgia laws; (5) equal and just taxation; (6) just freight rates for the commercial and shipping Interests of the state; (7) the un righteous 'free pass’ system; (8) and simi lar evils that are known to exist in Geor gia.' Regarding that portion of Tapp’s letter he says if Mr. Guerry had devoted more ttane to the discussion of the questions named in the letter and other matters of public interest and informed the people as tp his record thereon, and offered some practical solution of these questions it is probable that his speeches would have been less conspicuously characterized by personalities, i Mr. H’ll then says: Although Mr. Guerry spoke over two hours In Atlanta recently on what he calls the issues of the campaign, he failed to explain to the people of Georgia how he would bring about the solution of ’’the evils of the liquor traffic” by advocating state prohibition and the election of state prohibition candidates to the legislature, and at the same time advocate and vote for his partner. Hon. Joseph H. Hall, an avowed anti-prohibitionist, for the legis lature from Bibb. Will he vote for him now! Did he vote for him in the last primary election? What effort will he make to get prohibition legislators elect ed from his home county? Why does he only advocate these things when he is a candidate for governor? If he could not explain these things when he had two and one-half hours to himself, he could hardly hope to do so with a division of time. , He professes to know of the existence of “chronic lobbyism.” It he does, ahd falls to present the guilty parties to the grand jury, as a private citizen, he would hardly do so as governor. Did It exist when he was a railroad attorney? If so why didn't he give the alarm then? Why wait until he no longer (at the will of the railroads) represents them, and only when he becomes a candidate for governor? Did it exist when he was a member of the state senate? What ef fort has he heretofore made to suppress it? If he could not explain these things to the satisfaction of the people when he had over two hours to himself, he could hardly explain on a division of time. “It is a little remarkable that when a member of the senate of Georgia, United States district attorney and railroad at torney there was no ’domination of state affairs and politics to selfish and corrupt ends' by railroads and only when out of office and a candidate for governor these things exist. Did his law firm, when in the employ of railroads, ever advocate ’railroad legislation’ before the Georgia legislature? If so, when and what? "When the Glenn bill was before the legislature of Georgia. In 1889, to tax the railroads (and at that time he was a railroad attorney), did he advocate, before the legislature, the bill, or did he use his influence against It personally or by let ter? When the Olive and Berner bills to prevent the illegal combination of rail roads in this state were before the Geor gia legislature. 1889 to 1891, how did he stand then, and what did he do or say In favor of those bills? If he could not answer these things without a division of time he could hardly do so with a di vision. “When In the senate of Georgia, what bill to this effect did h 6 introduce? When railroad attorney, what position did he occupy with reference to this? An answer in undivided time to all this would be in teresting now. While railroad attorney and member of the senate, what effort did he make for “just freight rates.” etc? Undivided time might elucidate this Issue to the better satisfaction of the people. When in the senate of Georgia, what effort did he make to suppress the “un righteous free pass?” A division of time might not allow Mr. Gtferry ample op portunity to fully explain why he did not introduce a bill to prohibit free passes. Why do ’’similar evils” exist when he is out of office and never when he is tn office? When In the senate, when United States district attorney, as railroad at torney. did he ever hear of the exist ence of these and "similar evils?” What were they? Where were they? “Where, oh where, was Rhoderlck then. When one blast from his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men?" The courts are open to every citizen and informer, and if there Is no knock at the door by a private citizen who knows of these evils, will there be by such citi zen should he be elected governor? The newspapers quote him as saying the courts are corrupt, the legislature is cor rupt. Which court? Which member of the legislature? The people are entitled to the names of corrupt judges and leg islators, and if he can't and won't furnish their names, when the whole time is his, will he when there is a division? Let us have the boasted “similar evils" and all the questions answered or "forever hold your peace.” A division of time might only allow a discussion as to the ques tions that suit his purpose, but unlimited time would afford an opportunity to an swer al> the foregoing questions fairly and fully, and not a part of them. Mr. Hill cites Mr. Terrell’s record on prohibition, on lobbying, of railroad con solidation. on railroad taxation and other things and shows that he has opposed just the things that Tapp and Anderson mentioned. He closes his letter with the following statement: “For the foregoing, as well as the rea sons set forth by Mr. Terrell in his letter to Mr. Guerry last February. I could not and would not advise a joint debate as suggested by you." THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA. GEORGIA, THURSDAY. APRIL 24, 1902. PROGRAM ODD FELLOWS’ CONVENTION ARRANGED ADAIRSVILLE. Ga..

REPRIMAND NEXT •FOR GEN.M FUNSTON HIS ATTACK UPON SENATOR HOAR CALLS DOWN THE IRE OF PRESIDENT ROOSE VELT. WASHINGTON. D. C., April 22.-Presl dent Roosevelt has set the triggers ol the military stocks again and this time Gen eral Fred Funston is the officer who will be figuratively flogged before the public gaze. He overstepped the limit allowed by the administration when he said In a re cent Denver speech that Senator Hoar was suffering from an "pver-heated con science.” y The president is g/eatly exercised at the remark and has determined, it is said, to delicately strangle the Kansas briga dier between the head and shoulders, or fn other words, to muzzle him with a rep rimand. The president has been kept informed of Funston’s speeches and the unkind things the general has been saying of the sena tdrs who criticized the conduct of the military in the Philippine Islands, have been carefully laid away. The Denver ut terance was the last straw, and therefore before April delivers her "water cure” in to the arms of May, the garrulous Fred erick will get it a la Miles. The president has been made to see that the public wil Inot approve If he overlooks an offense like Funston’s, after the knockdown he gave Miles. WAYCROSS COWS TO ROAM THE STREETS WAYCROSS, Ga., April 22.—The Way cross cow,, like Banquo’s ghost, is hard to down. Judge Joseph Bennet yesterday render ed a decision in the famous cow ordinance of this city, In which he holds that the charter of Waycross does not empower the mayor and council to have the cow removed from the streets. This ordinance has been attempted sev eral years, and always was defeated, until the last mayor and aidermen were elected. Aiderman Charles E. Murphy drew up the bill and got it through council, and since that time has shouldered bravely the anathemas heaped upon him by the cow ordinance. The council has dealt leniently with those whose cows were empounded, and have actually cleared the streets of cows with very little friction, but one or two parties determined to try the validity of the ordinance and employed Judge J. C. Reynolds, who fought the ordinance solely on the ground that it was contrary to the city charter. The case will be carried by City Attor ney Lon A. Wilson to the supreme court, and In case Judge Bennet is sustained the next representative will be asked to have changed the charter of the city so that an ordinance may become affective to pro hibit the cows roaming the streets.. JOHNSON AND ENNIS IN LEGISLATIVE RACE ROME, Ga.. April 22.—Hon. J. Lindsay Johnson and Hon. W. H Ennis announced for the legislature .this morning.

Mr. Wright stat ed his professional had private business needed his attention and he did not think he would become a candidate. Mr. Foster and Mr. Knowles are actively In the race. The dispensary question will hardly enter Into the contest, for the reason that nearly all the candidates deciare they will not try to repeal the act creating the dispen sary. NEW DEMOCRATIC CLUB WILL BE ORGANIZED CHATTANOOGA. April 22.—The Hamil ton County Democratic club will be or ganized here on Thursday night.

ATTRIBUTES LOSS OF LOVE TO A PALMIST WAYCROSS, Ga., April 22.—Superior court convened yesterday, with Judge Joseph Bennet on the bench. Quite a large amount of business Is be fore the court, and most of two weeks will be consumed in disposing of both dockets. Yesterday was taken up in divorce cases, and six couples were separated during the day. One of the most notable of these was that ot George Weightman, a grand nephew of Bishop Weightman, who was granted the first verdict in a suit against his wife, Annie Lee Weightman, whose maiden name was Annie Lee, who former ly lived in Columbus. Mr. Weightman’s story before the jury was romantic and pathetic. He traced the Infidelity of his wife to the prognostica tions of a palmist, who told her that her husband did not love her, but was In love with another woman. It seems that she took it In earnest and began to suspect him and to retaliate on what she suspected was his aversion to her. For a long .time he bore with her and never broke faith with his wife until he caught her In an actual fault. His story was told in a straightforward, honest, conservative manner and made a profound impression on the jury.

TELL you, gentlemen, from all I can gather from drummers and from many sources. Du pont Guerry is running like a I scared wolf. He is gaining on Joe so that it looks now like he will beat him under the "poll” by June sth. We are going to arrange for several big picnic gatherings in dif ferent counties, and we are going tb have some speaking that is speaking. Dupont Guerry, Seab Wright, Len G. Broughton, Sam Small and Sam Jones; that's our plan, and with three or four thous and people at each gathering pol itics will boil, and if the newspa pers of Georgia want some news that is interesting, get your report ers ready for the round. The Bi ble says, "Faith cometh by hearing, and how can they hear without a preacher?” I am a preacher, and I am going to make them hear some things, too, if I live and luck is well and can get my digestion moving off in better shape. We are going to try and beat Joe Terrell with Dupont Guerry, and if we don’t beat him we will scare him out of ten years’ growth,—not in a malicious, bad spirit, but just because a whole lot of us fellows believe Dupont Guerry will make the best governor of the two. He has really got at least as much sense as Joe has, and more backbone; and when it comes to Integrity and cleanness Joe Ter rell can be no better man than Dupont Guerry personally. If I did not believe Guerry had a first class fighting chance to win I would fool no time away: but I keep telling you he is gaining nearly a mile a minute, and realty today I do not think brother Warner Hill would put the 120 counties in the Terrell column if he had another guess at it. I was glad to see Sam Small run so well. If he had had ten days more he would have gone in, and would have represented Fulton county In the legislature of Geor gia. and no brighter star has ever shone In the legislative halls of Georgia than Sam W. Small would have been. We are always talk ing about our Toombs and Cobbs and Stephens and so on, but I be lieve today that In some of the young men of Georgia we have the peer of any Georgian almost who ever graced its legislative halls or adorned its hustings. A more versatile, brilliant man does not live in Georgia today than Sam Small. He can speak all right, and write and speak as no other Georgian can do. and Sam is right down to busi ness now, and he is as clever as the days are long. When in the annals of our state did we have a brighter, brainier, OR. FELTON’S BURN 15 DESTBUYED BHIRF DWELLING NARROWLY ESCAPED FROM FLAMES LAST NIGHT WHICH ARE SAID TO HAVE BEEN INCENDIARY.

One hundred dollars reward with proof to convict the incendiary Is offered. Mr. and Mrs. Felton both were se riously burned in trying to save the stock. Dr. Felton was on his back porch drink ing water and all at once he saw his barn blaze up in fire. In half hour all was gone. GEORGIA CHAUTAUQUA OPENS UP AT ALBANY ALBANY. Ga.. April 21.—The fourteenth annual assembly of the Georgia Chautau qua opened yesterday, when 3.000 people sat in the great auditorium and heard Dr. C. N. Sims, of Syracuse, N.

Brough ton, etc., Georgia never had any better preachers than these, and they are all young men, compara tively speaking. And when it comes to lawyers, Alex King, Hoke Smith, Luther Rosser, John W. Akin, R. T. Dorsey, Albert Cox, etc., Georgia could never trot out a crowd that could beat them. And so I might say of doctors, bankers and merchants. I am proud of many Georgians and ashamed of some others. A big flurry In Wall street and consternation in the south over the absorption and merger of railroads! There will be nothing done to defeat the best interests of the people at large. The railroads are as much dependent upon the people as the people are upon the railroads. It is an inter-dependent business, gen tlemen. The great Southern rail way system has gone through the south with its arteries of steam and steel really building up the waste places and developing the south. I am not afraid of the Southern rail way cleaning me or any other Geor gian up. I am not afraid of the L. and N. and the N. and C. joining in any combination to clean any body up. The matter of tariff and rates are fixed by higher laws than mergers and absorptions, etc. At any rate, the freight and passenger tariff won’t go up. More trains and better trains, more facilities and better facilities are what lam look ing for In any event. A big man is afraid to jump on a little man and lick him in a crowd. A big combination is much more careful how it moves than a little one. After all, I repeat that vox populi will rule this country sooner or later as it has always done before our day.

' THE~LEGiON OF HONOR. * Anecdotes Concerning the Famous Of* der Founded by Napoleon. Pall Mall Gazette. France owes the Legion of Honor to Na poleon. All orders of chivalry had been abol ished by the revolution and had left a. gap which it was not easy to fill. “They are mere gewgaws,” said Monge, the chemist, who had taught the revolutionist, how to make gun powder out of plaster of Paris. "Gewgaws if you will,” the first consul answered, "but peo ple like them. Let us approach the question frankly. All men are enamored of decorations— the French more than any. They positively hunger for them, and they have always done This was at Malmalson in 1808. In May the Consul d’Etat was invited to coneider the project of the institution ot the Legion of Honor. It was ridiculed by many, notably by Moreau, who as victor of Hohenlinden wa* bitterly jealous ot the victor of Marengo. At a dinner party he sent for his cock and said to him In the presence of hie guests: "Michel. I am pleased with your dinner; you have in deed dlstlnguiehed yourself: I will award you a sail cp pan of honor.” Mme. de Stael was also satirical upon the subject. “Ah! one of the decorated?" she used to ask as each guest was shown into her salon. But Napoleon had gauged human nature correctly. His Legion of Honor did meet a felt want, and it was defi nitely inaugurated on July 4. 1804. Among the eminent men of science and men of letters on whom it was then bestowed were included Laplace, the mathematician; Lalande, the astronomer; Cuyler, the naturalist, and Legouve, the poet. The most notable name omitted was that of Barnardln de Saint Pierre, just then in disgrace for championing Mme. de Stael, whom Napoleon had banished, but he sot the decoration later on the entreaty of ueen Hortense after Jena Goethe was deco rated. A little later high promotion in the order was given to General Lamarque, to whom Sir Hudson Lowe had surrendered at Capri. “What did you do with him? asked Napoleon. “The king of Naples nad him ex changed for a Napolitan general who was a prisoner in Sicily." "Very wefi. there is no harm in letting this English colonel go. He is not ciangeroui.** It Beems not unlikely that Sir Hudson Lowe remembered this sarcasm when he was Napoleon's jailer a few years after- After Napoleon's downfall the question of suppressing the Legion of Honor arose Cha- * teaubriand, whom Napoleon had not decorated, strongly urged its abolition. So did Poxso dl Borgo Marshals Victor, Marmont and Macdon ald opposed. After debate it was decided to rec- ? ognize and retain the order, not on any high , moral or patriotic grounds, but because Louis XVIII could not afford to make himself more unpopular than he was already by stripping people of their decorations. Chateaubriand and Lemartine coneented to accept the red ribbon, but it was also conferred upon a great number of worthless personages and so brought into contempt. When the nationalists complain that the republicans are degrading the Legion of Honor it is gratifying to be able to remind them that the example of degrading It was set by a son of St. Louis. There have been many Legion of Honor scan dals since those days, but one of them sur passes all the others in magnitude. This is, of course, the Wilson scandal, the history of which, though intricate, is worth recalling. The trouble may be said to have begun on the day on which Mlle. Alice Grevy fell in love with an opera singer, who need not be adver tised here. He wanted to marry her and she wanted to marry him and the papers were be ginning to couple the two names in a manner most embarrassing to the president of the re public. The president, however, sent the opera singer about his business and found his daugh ter another husband—not a very good husband, but the best husband he could procure on the spur of the moment. His choice fell upon M. Daniel Wilson, who had long been one of M. Grevy s political supporters and was a financier of some mark. No sooner was M. Wilson established at the Elysee than he pro ceeded to enrich himself by various means. Among other things he founded a paper called Le Moniteur de I’Exposition Vniversele, which really covered a traffic in decorations. The whole story came out in a state trial toward the end of 1887. It was proved that Wilson had made a regular practice of selling the Legion of Honor, or rather of inviting people who wanted to bribe him to use his Influenc* to obtain It for them. His overtures were pre sented through his jackals. Generals d’Audlan and Caffarel and Mmes. Limousin and Rataxzi. and the whole party had to stand in the dock together. Wilson was sentenced to two years imprisonment, a fine of 3.D00 francs and five vears deprivation of civil rights. He appealed and the court of cessation annulled the judg ment. The accused, said the judges, was ob viously guilty of everything that he was charged with, but as his offenses were not an ticipated by any punitive law, he could not be punished. So he retired to the country and tried to live down his bad name. As he ulti mately got himself elected counselller general one must suppose that he succeeded In this ob ject. . ■■■ .
