Mr. Terrell had been to Cur- nesville to speak, in the absence of Gov. Atk-nsofi, who was billed to speak at that place. From all ac¬ counts wuriri Joe Terrell made it quite for Yancv Carter and some others who tried to interrupt him with questions. Mr. Terrell says he is of the opinion that Gov. At- kinson and the State ticket will be elected lyy 50,000 majority, as there have been about 290,000 F 0 t- ers registered in the state. A Change. Next week the Times-News will be again enlarged to meet the de¬ mand for advertising space to 6 columns 8 pages'. Mr. W.M.

Sain Jones has publicly ad- mitted that he,as a democratic elec¬ tion manager, chewed up and de¬ stroyed votes of the opposition can- didates, so as to give or increase the democratic Majority, the At- Hnta Journal sent out a letter to the county chairmen asking them if they intended to heeci State Chairman Clay’s recommendation to divide election managers with l b e populists. All the replies say that they will. The following two answers will be of interest to our readers : lhe Journal: c'ornefia, Sept. 26. An arrangement will,in all probability, be made to divide election managers in Habersham county. C. L. Bass, Chairman Ex. Com. barnesville. Sept. 26.

One thing we are glad of: The democratic party has no more self- confessed perjurors—as Rev.

I do not n i ea n to question at all your fitness ‘ f 0 r judicial work but your activity profitably of body and brain could be more occupied in the ac- tive contest of public life. I re- member the first speech you made when you came to Athens from one of the up country counties, and I took pleasure in giving you my vote for the Sophtnore Medal for the best debator. For many years after our college acquaintance I saw nothing special of you until we met again in the Georgia Legislature, In appointing you Chairman of the Special Judiciary Committee, I felt that I was barely doing you justice and your record in that capacity could not have been surpassed by any one. I do not hesitate to say that no other Chairman of any Committee of the Legislature did more prompt and faithful work than yourself. Bills that might naturally have been given to other committees in order were that frequently there sent tc- yours, delay in obtaining might be no a report. As Speaker of the House, I always felt that I could rely on you for prompt and official service, and there is no part of your your public in which you have a right to look back to with more satisfac- tion.
