Tfr CITIZEN AGAIN
, Editors Nev.-s:—Several days ago
there appeared an article in your e x-
cellent paper by Citizen in which he
proceeded to land Mr. Terrell as high
as the highest and put Mr. Guerry low
er than the decency of an intelligent
>nan would-permit. And, then say it is
so hard for us to quote him correctly,
hence we reproduce his- utterance and
let-them stnnd as a testimony against
a man who has been deluded into mak-
' ing unreasonable assertions r
■ ‘'God never made a better, truer, no
bler mail than Joe Terrell. His public
nnd private life is without a stain.
Nothing-mean or low ever came near
his head or heart. His soul is teeming
With the milk of human kindness.” Mr.
Citizen you forgot (Guess God did not
take much pains making some men’s
memory) that such extreme assertions
ns the above came' only from such a
man 4s you claim Mr. Guerry to' be;
Ah extremist. If you meant What you
said in the first portion of the' above it
was claiming a gift of omniscious
(though you deny it) for. yourself. If
you did not mean what you said, it was
only the intense emotion of a Terrell
fanatic bubbling over. Next; His pub
lic andprivate life is without a stain.
If \6n meant what you said it was
; claiming for Mr. Terrell perfection. If
you did not menn what you said you
Was misrepresenting Mr. Terrell, and'
trying to make the people believe some
thing that Mr. TerrBll would not try to
make them believe himself.
Mr. Citizen in-your first article you
said you knew; In your second you said'
you didsolaim knowledge - but came at
us thinking. Knowing and Thinking.
You remind-me of Hie man-who was on
a moving-engine pulling a train of flat
cars, and he started back to-the cab, it
was curious' to see a man ! going two
ways nt one time; But which way was
lie going the fastest. So you are going
nnd coming at the same time but it is
very easy matter to tell on which route
you ate making the best time. In your
last article you got down to thinking
reverently, but you said the Guerry
ir.en Would not think. Wedeny that
charge. There aro -good, intelligent,
i kinking men in Dooly county support
ing Mr. Guerry. Mr. Citizen, you know
that your extreme claims for Mr. Ter
rell does not influence a thinking Guer
ry man. Such sneering them, as you
did when y’ousaid no demagogue ever
led these peOplo no ultra-extremist will
ever catch and hold the intelligence of
the old county, is only a display of your
political weakness. We asked you one
question about Mr. Terrell’s position,
you treated it with indifference, you
said you was for Mr. Terrell because he
stands for the best' interest of all the
people of Georgia, that all, includes
liqour makers and liqour sellers inter
est. We are not supporting Mr. Guer
ry for that, we are supporting him be
cause he is against the liquor dealers
interest, You said you was for Terrell
because he is for building up and not
tearing down; We are not supporting
Mr. Guerry for that, we are supporting
him because he is for tearing down
some things, you said Mr. Terrell is for
building. We say Guerry is for tearing
down’the liquof traffic, you say Terrell
is for building. So you see (according
to your own works) Terrell is for build
ing it up, Guerry is tor tearing down
the influence of the great railroad sys
tem of the state and your utterances
say Terrell is for building it up. Guer
ry is for tearing down the free pass
practice, as you say Terrell is a builder
and not a tcarer down, he must be for
building up the practice. Guerry is for
tearing down the practice of the lobby
ist and you are the author of the state
ment saying Terrbll is not for tearing
down.
In conclusion we are supporting Mr.
Guerry because we are satisfied with
his position on ; the liqOor question,
and in him we think the state wiU have
a governor In whose hand the* reins - of
the government would'be safe. Now
in bidding yon adieu we state- that if
you deny the assertions yon have made

MR. O. B. PERRY WRITES
The Progress Bosswrites that “if
‘Citizen’ in our Semi-Weekly
neighbor will show his manhood
by coming out of the bush he will
have on hie hands the livesl corpse
he ever kicked, and the superlative
mental capacity provided him by
nature will need be brought into
Service to.defended his case,"
His says also that Mr. Clewis has
a natural nose for the nature of
man,, and has traced crime and run
down Criminals When others could
not smell a track, and that <. glance
ot his eagle eye is enough for any
fugitive; We say away with such
stuff as that. Taffy like that will
not elect any man to office.
Uncle George Sheppard is an
old Dboly county boy, and is too
well known to be cried down in
any such a planner- He is a good
Sheriff', and the people of old Dboly
will try him for at least another
term by their votes on June* jjth.
He is running a fair race and is not
making any combinations, but is
“toting his own skillet."
Mr. News : We don’t blame
you for defending “Uncle George”
against the unjust snortings of the
Progress. Ilurruhl for Sheppard
for our next Sheriff!!
Well Jde Terrell is gaining v/ites
everywhete, and especially has he
gained them in Dooly county- for
the past ten days. He will carry
Dooly county by a good majority.
Mr. Editor: I hope to see Mr.
Glenn out and Rev. Beck take his
place next term. Any man thut
Ims.been in office-as long as he has
and can’t tellhow to run the school
department without telling how
they do over the waters; it is time
he was given a back seat.
We would like to see Mr. O. B.
Stephens hold his* place, as he is a
good man and has given perfect
satisfaction. Let everybody regis
ter and vote for Joe Terrell and
Geo. W. Sheppard. ' i

Major Jackman Dead.
The death of Major Jackman, who
surveyed the line from Cordele to Mon
tezuma,via Vienna, for the A. & B.
railroad died suddenly Monday about
noon at 'the home of Mr. Jno. S. Byrora
at Byromville. His death is reported
to have been caused from conjestion.
He had resigned his position with the
A. & B. authorities since reaching Ogle
thorpe with the line and was spending
a few days at Byromville, with Mr.
Byrom before taking his departure for
his home in Kentucky.
But, alas i he was suddenly stricken
down and the cold hands of death were
up hiui.before he hardly had time to
realize his condition. Mr. Jackman was
a clever, good hearted man and made
many 1 warm friends in Dooly and Macon
counties during his short stay among
its people.
His body was carried to Montezuma
yesterday morning and”shipped to his
wife in Kentucky. 1
Has Dooly county ever hod a
better Sheriff than Mr. G. TV.
Sheppard? We think not. He
is kind, clever and accommo
dating, and is indeed one of the
BEST and most efficient Sheriffs
in Georgia. He is certainly the
RIGHT MAN in the place.—

Mr. Editor: In last week’s Prog
ress there is an article which i<
meant to be in favor of Mr. Lewis
Clewis for Sheriff which tries to
make it seem that he (Lewis Clew
is) lias a better mental capacity for
the position of Sheriff than that of
our present Sheriff with his long
experience. It goes on to tell about
his eagle eye nnd nose for crime
and cites as a case of his Sherloch
Holmes ability in discovering tlje
sawed bars in the cell of John
Henry Peavy, when the truth of
the matter is and I have und will
if necessary produce evidence to
substantiate what I say, tr.at the
way in which Mr. Clewis found
out about the negro attempting to
escape was in no way a very deep
mystery und not on account of his
superior ability to detect mischief,
I have it on good authority that the
reason Mr. Clewis found out and
possibly prevented Peavy from es
caping, here is the story: “A day
or so before Mr. Clewis made hi6
wonderful discovery he was in
Unadilla and a man in that town
told him. that u negro of that place
who had recently been liberated
from the jail told Mr. Clewis’ in
former that he was suspicious that
Peavy was trying to break jufl
and told him that he had heard
sawing or filing going on in his
cell. The man told Mr. Clewis,
who at thut time was not a candi
date for Sheriff, to tell Mr. Shep
pard, but he failed to do so for
some mysterious reason and it seems
that some of Ins ignorant friends
are trying to make it appear that
he was detective. When the truth
of the matter was, Mr. Sheppard
would have been informed any way
the next day und so have prevented
his- escupc.

AN OIL MILL
It is now an assured fact that
Vienna will soon have a Cottorv
Oil Mill with a capital stock of
$35,000 with the privilege of in
creasing, and the charter will very
likely be applied- for the latter part
of this week or the first of next
week.
There has been some agitation
along. this line for the past few
years as it is plainly 6een that bur
town liked a few manufacturing
enterprises, but nothing was ever
done until the contract for securing
the A. & B. railroad was signed.
Mr. Jno. B. McDonald boarded
the train, the next day and in le*»
than two days had a Colton Oil
Mill assured for Vienna.

Sunday afternoon and on Monday
Messrs J. B. McDonald, A. E.
