Lee, Manager. Douglas, Ga Douglas Supply Cos., Bank Building, North Side. Douglas, Ga. DOUGLAS, GA„ SATURDAY MAY, 24th„ 190?. 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 ' — w.

Returning leave fjpr-- dele at 5 o’clock. “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.
