Gasping for Breath as he Sees Defeat
in June
The sanctimonious hypocritical
editor of the Waycross Journal,
among other complimentary illus
ions to the Breeze pens the follow
ing :
“The other epithets used by the
Breeze, in the same issue, only
emphasize the fact that the editor
cannot carry on a high-toned cam
paign for his own candidate, and
cannot enter into controversy with
out slinging mud. This being a
well known characteristic of the
Breeze, nobody expects any better
of it, and ah it says, is taken cum
grano sulis.”
Again, Johnnie, we affirm that
we have no desire to carry on a
high-toned campaign in favor of
Guerry, a very low-toned man, in
our estimation. If we had used
the same language of which you
complain against Mr. Terrell or
Mr. Estill you would have thrown
your hat in the air and cried bravo,
bravo! hit him again. Your fellow
fraudman, Sam Jones, says “the
hit dog yells.’’ This, then accounts
for the yelling in your last issue.
But if Mr. Greer wants to know
why the Breeze opposes Mr. Guer
ry so bitterly we will tell him, in
a few words. Up to the time of
Sam Jones’ visit to this place, well
known to Mr. Greer, for he was
here, we had treated both candi
dates opposed to Mr. Estill with
due consideration, but after Mr.
Jones’ visit to this place, and the
outrage perpetrated upon our peo
ple, with the full knowledge and
consent of the editor of the Way
cross Journal, who was in Douglas
under the pretense of attending a
Sunday School convention—anoth
er fraud, we were convinced that
the Guerryites would stoop to any
thing to balster a flimsy cause,
therefore, since then, we have hand
led Mr. Guerry with gloves off.
As< for slinging mud the charge is
not true, but with a repetition of
visits of similar character from Mr.
Jones and Mr. Greer we shall not
be responsible if there is some rotten
egg slinging.
It will be noticed at the close of
the quoted paragraph above that
John Greer says something about
us “takin’ sum grano salts.” lie’s
a fool. Let the physician take his
own medicine. If any one needs
“salts” it is Greer, for he is billions,
his liver is out of order and his head
is full of green mud.
Negro Man and Woman Disappear-
The repor* from Willacoochee
was rile last Saturday evening that
Chippie Washington, a well knowfU
colored b.a ber formerly of j
and Ella Bryant, a colored women
of Willacoochee, were, on Friday,
jointly given a commitment trial
on a charge of arson, viz., burning
of the store of B. F. Summerlin, j n
Willacoochee. There being suf
ficient evidence, both parties wijre
bound ovei to the Superior CotW
of Coffee county, and in default o |
bail an officer started with them t
jail in Douglas. When about on ■
mile out of Willacoochee the office'
was overpowered by a mob of blacLj
men or white men blacked up foi-'
the occasion, and the prisoner taken
from him, and a® yet their fate if j
unknown, no one having seen then*?
since. At the point where the f
were taken is a very large bay
swamp. 0 '

“Whom the gods would desjfeoy
they first make mad.” John <fjeer,
of the Waycross Journal is mad,
and says the editor of the Breeze
“cannot carry on a high ist ed
campaign.” If carrying on a'migh
toned campaign means to support
Guerry and enter into an agreement
to defraud the people of Douglas
as John Greer and Sam Jones did
on a recent occasion, (had the latter
fraud to make a speech in favor of
Guerry when they paid to hear a
lecture) we do not wish to engage
in it.
