At T» Mr.Guerry.
From the Macon Telegraph
In the Atlanta Constitution of Wed**
nenday, the 261 h, there appeared the
following under a Gainesville date of
tbe 25th;
In discussing the altitude of the daily
press of the state toward hint and his
candidacy, Mr. Guerry said, in speaking
particularly of The Macon Telegraph:
“It is so soaked with liquor that
when you open it to read it you can
smell whisky.”
From its own correspondent and
tge.nl al Gainesville, Mr. A. S. Hardy,
formerly of Macon and of this paper.
The Telegraph received on the night of
tie 20th the following:
GaihkmVilLE, Ga., March 25,
HKI2.—“A whiskey soaked sheet.” is
what Hon. DuPont Guerry, prohibition
candidate for governor, pronounces
The Macon Trlegragh. Col. Guerry
was.in the city today, but owing to the
fact that his engagement there was not
advertised, he did not speak, although
there many people in town from the
country.
In discussing the attitude of the daily
press of the slate toward him and his
candidacy, Mr. Gueiry said, in speak
ing particulary of The Macon Tele
graph: “It is sosoaked with liquor
that when you open it to read it you
can smell whiskey.”
Wednesday night, the 20th, The
Telegraph received the following un
solicited expression by wire:
GainesyulLß, Ga., March 20.—Ma
con Telegraph, Macon, Ga.: Con
stitution interview entirely in writing.
Telegraph not mentioned in it.
Gcihry.
Mr. Guerry menu! to, say that he
wrote out with hia own hiyidilhat part
of the “interview’’ in the CoiMOitution
whlbb <ll'l not refer to Tin; Telegraph.
The part .lint <li<l refer tp, Th®-Tele
graph was not authorized lo.be Printed
In him. It was written down, by the
Constitution correspondent.
But while his telegram to us was in
tended to appear in this paper as a
<masi denial for home consumption, no
word in explanation or of quasi denial
appeared in the paper which carried
the charge of moral turpitude against
The Telegraph toother sections. The
craftiness which would dodge the re
sponsibility at home lets its sting re
main abroad, so far as the Atlanta pa
per could carry it. We denounce this
as low cunning and unworthy of a self
styled and self-constituted advance
agent of morality and virtue.
Mr. Guerry has been going all over
the state making similar remarks about
this paper, and when through no in
strumentality of ours his charge is
made public he rushes in with an ad
roitly worded telegram intended to ap
pear as a denial when really it is not
Mr. Guerry knows that his accusation
is as false as it is malicious. He knew
it when he uttered it, and he quails
when tt is made public. It is a charge
that no brave man would make and no
good man defend.
When, in the earlier days of his cam
paign Mt. Guerry made an unwarrant
ed and an uncalled for attack upon this
paper, ami then sued for “peace if not
amity,” (we use his own words) The
Telegraph accepted in good faith his
expressed desire, and we have lived
up to it. Since that dale we have
printed a number of cards from hitu.
We have printed from week to week all
his appointments, and the news about
his campaign impartially. We declin
ed to print two of his cards because
they contained veiled attacks on this
paper, the publication of which in these
•columns would have necessitated a re
joinder. But Mr. Guerry has gone
over the state dealing thrust after
thrust at The Telegraph. Meanwhile
we have endeavored to deal fairly and
gently with this misguided man as we
have with no other candidate. He has
complained at our reports of his
speeches when he has complimented
other newspapers for printing the same
reports.
We reprinted in these columns yes
terday our declaration made more than
four \ ears ago against ‘•the personal
organ” in primary politics. We have
consistently adhered to this policy to
this good hour. And this is Mr. Guer*
ry's cause of offense. When he found
that he could not adopt The Telegraph
as hie personal organ—when he found
that he could not use without stint its
columns for the advancement of his
own personal ambition, it became im
possible lot The Telegraph to please
him. If pd ß barrier were not in tbe 5
way The Telegraph could dot indorse <
a campaign of abuse and vindication
born of a grievance either imaginary’ J
or rual. Tbe Telegraph- does not be- |;
lieve that the average mien is a son of
a she-welf: or that alt men except its ii
own kith anil kin are bad. Mr. Guer-1
ry has attack*! tho 'Democratic party '
by name; he has- assailed tbe judges ।
of our courts, except those before i
whom he practices law; be has de
nounced the members of the legislature,
taking pains la covera number of yea.rs
back; he has assailed members of his
own profession, calling tlaem “cow
lawyers;” he has decluredr in public
speeches that the newspapers- are nc t
fair or just, not even excepting two o r
three that are supporting him for
governor; from a discharged railroai 1
lawyer he has developed into a would -
be railroad wrecked. Although wt i
could not indorse these things we havi >
kept quiet out of consideration forthai.
sentiment, which, under ordinary
circumstances, b’ds one to supporta
home candidate for a state or national'
office.
If Mr. Guerry knows anything he
knows that he is not strong as a “home
candidate,” and he knows, if he has
cared to inform himself,, that the editor
of The Telegraph advised the course
that has been agreed upon here, to wit:
to offer no organized opposition to him
in this county. There is no sane rea
son why he should put Ins boot into
this arrangement.
The Telegraph is not unmindful of
the weaknesses of human Mature, par
ticularly when they get into politics,
nor is it predisposed to uncharitable
ness, but it seems to us that the point
has been reached in Mr. Guerry’s ca
reer where his friends should look after
him.
A L>eep Mystery.
It is a mystery why women endure
Backache, Headache, Nervousness,
Sleeplessness,, Melancholy, Fainting
and Dizzy Spells when thousands have
proved that Electric Billers will quickly
cure such troubles. “I suffered for
years with kidney trouble,” writes Mrs.

The political pot in Bandulph coun
ty is boiling in great shape. There are
two or three candidates for every office
m sight, each one determined to nab
the particular prize he ns after. Sheriff
Maddox is being vigorously opposed
for re election by ex-Sheriff W. U.
Bynum, and the two gentlemen are
engaged in making it warm for each
other. Interest centers especially in
the race for representative. Capt. W.

SOCIAL SLIPS.
A Pew of the Many Sina of Omission
and Convnlasloa.
Some people say they are not situated
so they can entertain. Certainly their
situation must be peculiar. Entertain
ing is bard work and to some extent
unselfish. Now, human nature is in
clined to shirk when it can. Almost
anybody can do something. It need not
cost much.
Your house Is too small? Give small
things. Society is very lenient and
grows good natured over a sandwich
and a ?up of tea. It Is “entertaining”
t^, hajid lemonade to a caller now and
then. It U odd bow such things are
jjewmbered. A matinee ticket does not
epst a fortune, or when you meet a
friend up town how hospitable you can
be by simply inviting that friend Into
where you can rest, get an Ice and
smell flowers all for a trifle.
Be ashamed to receive forever and
give nothing. And don’t Imagine for a
moment that your selfishness is not no
ticed.
How much meanness and laxlness
hlr'’ behind the “Oh, I am boarding,
poor me! I can do nothing." Indeed!
It is ever so much easier and cheaper
for you than for those who keep house.
You can ask a friend to your hotel.
The dinner will be at most a dollar and
II half, and you have neither trouble
nor responsibility, while your guest will
enjoy the change just as you do “this
good home cooklftg" when somebody
spends |5 to get up a meal especially
for you.
Another thing. Don't be offended
when you are left out of small affaire.
In a busy place most women in society
know several hundred people and pos
sibly like a hundred very much. It la a
great puzzle sometimes to know how to
choose twenty out of that hundred.
Even an Intimate opposite neighbor
can’t expect to be asked every time.
Os course, if you never entertain at
all you should be doubly tolerant And
never ask Invitations for strangers un
less they are visiting you or the cir
cumstances are exceptional. Do some
thing for them vourself and don’t use
your friends to nmuse your acquaint
ances. These friends perhaps prefer
their own.
Does this sound sharp?
These things and worse happen ev
ery day. and every one of us is more
or less guilty, concludes a writer In
Table Talk.
Deep lace ruffles are used for house
gowns. A happy inspiration, for noth
