Vol IX. No. 115.
MR. TERRELL EXPLAINS.
NOT A CANDIDATE-WHY HE
WON’T KUN.
Say# Hia Possible*Candidacy Has
Become Confused With the Possi*
ble Candidacy of Mr- Atkinson
for Senator.
Attorney General Terrell makes the
following statement to hia friends
“To the Public—l owe it not alone
to myself, but also to the loyal friends
who have urged me to pursue a differ*,
ent course, that the following state*,
meat should now be made :
“I have bad under advisement for
some weeks past the determination of
the question as to whether or not I
should enter the contest for notnina
tion by the democratic .party for the
office of governor of Georgia to sue
ceed the present incumbent. In the
press of official duties pertaining to
my office I have given this matter
such consideration as time and oppor
tunity have allowed, but in defference
to the position of other friends who
may be considering this subject in
connection with a similar ambition, I
wirh now to say that I shall not be a
candidate for that office.
“As a matter of fact, lam not dis
satisfied with the official position
which I now bold, and while, like oth"
er men, I am not insensible to the al
lurements of political preferment, I
would not, without something other
than the dictates of mere ambition, be
willing to quit its occupancy. I deem
it proper to say, however, that when
the assurance of partial friends dem
onstrated what they thought to be
flattering prospects of my success,
should Ibe a candidate, I was led to
regard the proposition with some de
gree of favor.
“A careful canvass of the situation
now reveals to me what I consider a
concerted effort to connect my sug-.
gested candidacy with what is believed
to be the future political ambition of
our present most worthy executive.
In other words, that my candidacy for
this office would be undertaken for an
entirely subservient to the furtherance
of future political designs. That this
is wholly unworthy of consideration,
and entirely untrue in fact, needs no
confirmation where the facts and cir
cumstances are known. Jam perfect
ly candid when I say that if Governor
Atkinson is looking forward to future
political preferment, lam not aware
of the fact; but on the contrary, have
understood his plans and wishes to be
to pursue the active practice of his
profession, free from the cares and
obligations of political office.
GOVERNOR ATKINSON’S FUTURE.
“Certain it is that at no time has
there ever been any agreement or un
derstanding, arrangement or under
taking, direct or indirect, which would
justify any imputation to this effect.
Such suggestions may not have always
bsen made by disinterested parties,and
I presume the object of making them
cm be well understood. ;I am not cer
trin whether this may be considered
legitimate or not in a political contest,
hyne to place a friend who has justly
earned the good will of the people of
the state and whose administration has
. at least brought them no discredit, in
a position so inconsistent with the
dignity of the office he holds, and bis
loyalty to the party which placed him
there.
“I have no fear that the people at
large would countenance the sugges
tion referred to, yeti feel sure that the
persistent effort to have such under
standing go abroad places both him
and myself in a position which neither
of us do nor will occupy.
“J owe the people of Georgia much
for the honors they have given me,and
have endeavored in part to discharge
the obligation by as faithful service as
I could render. I am not aware of
anything in my official career which
needs or calls for an explanation, nor
have I sought political preferment at
the sacrifice or expense of my friends.
I will not do so now, nor in the future,
and it is for this reason that I make
this announcement in as public a man
ner as my suggested candidacy has
heen discussed.
“Thanking my friends who have so
generously extended me their support,
and with the kindliest feeling toward
the several gentlemen who have been
mentioned in connection with guber
natorial honors, I must announce as a
final conclusion that I shall not be
come a candidate for the nomination
for the office of governor,
“J. M. TERRELL.”
'•Atlanta, Ga, January 17,1898.”
A DBS OF COOKS
Raided by the Police Monday Night.
A Big Haul.
For some time past officers Connor
gnd Flynt have been shadowing a covy
of negro bucks, believing they were
running a gambling den at some place
witbin the city.
Monday afternoon they informed
their Chief that they were sure the
den was located when immediate ar
rangements were made for a raid.
Accordingly, about 9 o'clock Chief
Ison and policemen Connor and Flynt
started out North Hill street, and when
they reached the old Becks corner a
reconnoiter was made of the premises
and it was ascertained their game was
in one of the outhouses.
The bouse was stormed and the en
tire party captured, while cards, dice
and small change fell thick and fast
upon the floor. «
Will Franklin, Brown Banders, War
ren Stafford, Tom Head, * Walter
Moore and Tom Duncan were taken
to the lock up and given quarters for
the night.
About noon yesterday they were
carried before Judge Beck of the police
court and all plead guilty to gambling
and threw themselves upon the mercy
of the court.
Judge Beck made quick work of the
party by imposing a fine of $25 eadt)
and costs each, or to serve five months
on the chaingang.
Will Franklin and Tom Duncan
paid their fines and were dismissed,
while the balance asked time to make
the necessary financial arrangements.
This was a very cleverly managed
raid and resulted in the capture of a
crowd of coons that have reputations,
some of them, blacker even than their
hides, and it is hoped will result in
ridding the city of their presence, for
a while at least.
Lee’a Birthday-
This being the anniversary day of
the birth of Gen. R. E. Lee, the grand
est man in war and in peace the south
ever produced, all banks will be closed
and the postoffice will observe Bunday
hours.
The pupils of the Chas. M. Neel In
stitute will read short biographies of
Robert E. Lee, covering his life from
early youth and manhood, his career
as a soldier in Mexico and the civil
war, and bis last days k as a citizen and
educator.
These biographies will be short and
original—being prepared by pupils as
signed to separate events of the hero’s
life.
The Call is requested by Prof. Neel
to ex’end a cordial invitation to every
old Confederate veteran to attend
these exercises at the Institute build
ing today, beginning at 12:30 o’clock.
The professor hopes to see many of
the followers of Lee, or survivors of
the conflict, present.
Jo Olden Times -
People overlooked the importance of per
manently beneficial effects and were satis
fied with transient action; but now that it
is generally known that Byrup of Figs will
permanently overcome habitual constipa
tion, well-informed people will not buy
other laxatives, which act for a time, but
finally injure the system.
Fruit Trees Saved-
The cold wave that prevails just now
came just in time to save the fruit
crop for this year. The fruit growers
were becoming alarmed at the long
continued warm spell, and it was so
warm that a few more days the trees
would have begun to bloom, and later
on when the cold weather did come
they would have been killed. The cold
prevails generally throughout the
state, and there is no danger now that
any of the crop will be injured in this
way.
Notice.
This being a Legal Holiday the post
office will observe it by having Sunday
hours. D. J. Bailey, P. M.

Charles H. Smith, of Atlanta, will
be in Griffin the latter part of thia
month to lune pianos, organa and mu
sical instruments generally. He wil

work for them will receive prompt ata
teution upon hia arrival, if their re
quest is left at the Call office.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19, 1898.
CUPID’S DEVOTEES.
Loving Hearts Made to Beat as One at
Hymen’s Altar-
It is evident that all ibe pledgee
made on the beginning of the New
Year were not strictly personal, but
were entered often into by couples.
The news from every section brings
tidings of Cupid’s darts flying thick
and fast.
On Sunday afternoon last, out at
Towaliga, Miss Allie Kinard and Mr.
Walter Thaxton were happily joined
in marriage. These two young people
are very popular and their friends
everywhere will send congratulations.
On the same afternoon Andrew
Welden and Miss Busan Bailey were
united in marriage in the Baptist
church at Orchard Hill, Rev. Geo. W.
Wood, of Sunny Side, officiating.
Yesterday at Jackson, R. L. Thomp
son and Miss Pearl McMichael were
happily united in the holy bonds of
matrimony in the presence of a large
gathering of friends.
A Wandering Boy.
Chief Ison received a postal card
Monday from a heart-broken mother,
inquiring after her wandering boy.
The postal began by asking ‘‘.where
is my wandering boy tonight?” Please
find him.
The following is what the mother
says to the Chief:
lam anxious for information as to
whereabouts of my son, Allan Gill, 16
years old, 5 feet 2 inches, 96 pounds,
dark-brown hair, blue eyes, rosy cheeks,
good teeth, quiet disposition. Left
Dalton, Ga., Oct. 23. Last seen near
McKenzie, Tenn., in company with a
tramp about 30 years old, who alluded
to him as the “kid.” They are sup
posed to be on the way to New Or
leans. Detain, if you find him, and
wire bis heart-broken mother.
Mrs. W. A. Gill, 1716 F St. N. W.,
Washington, D. C.
Grantland I>. Tebault.
A recent issue of the Olive and Blue,
a college journal published at New Or
leans, pays this nice tribute to the en
ergy and sagacity of young Grantland
Tebault, which will be read with inter
est by scores of his friends in Griffin :
“Os the young graduates of Tulane
who have achieved eminence in poli
tics, Mr. Grantland L. Tebault stands
among the first. Graduating from the
Academical in 1893 and two years la
ter taking the degree of B. L, he
plunged immediately in the arena of
politics; he has been a conspicuous
factor in the political welfare cf his
ward and lastly of the entire state. He
was always a prominent college man
taking interest in all college organiza
tions.
“He has occupied a prominent posi
tion in politics, was a delegate to the
Democratic convention held in Chica
go, and was largely instrumental in
securing the votes of the Louisiana
delegation for Bryan.
“He was a delegate from the 3td
ward to the State nominating conven
tion for our coming constitutional
convention.
"Olive and Blue congratulates Mr.
Tebault on his early success in the
political field and feels assured that he
will make a name for himself, all of
which Tulanians should feel proud.*'
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case ofDeafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Bend for circulars, flee.

A Higher Education Needed-
It is said that Secretary Wilson cf
the department of agriculture has a
notion that a farmer should be as
learned in the science of agriculture 03
a lawyer in the science of law or a
doctor in medicine, and the fact that
a boy is going to be a farmer is the
very reason why he should have the
advantage of a college training instead
of a reason why he should not. It is
bis theory that the race problem in
the south can only be solved by in
dustrial education. He sees no career
for negroes in the learned professions
and believes that the only field for
their progress and prosperity is offer
ed by the trades and agriculture.
Therefore, he is greatly interested in
the industrial school which Booker
Washington has founded at Tuskegee
for the education of colored boys in
fanning and the mechanical arts.
Removing the Stomach-
The scientific world and the public
generally have been much interested
in the reports of an operation perform
ed in Zurich, Switzerland, last Sep
tember, by which a woman’s stomach
was removed. The patient not only
survived, but enjoys good health,
■'The auecess of this operation has led
to similar experiments in the United
States.
Last Wednesday some St. Louis
physicians removed-the stomach of a
man. The patient was a machinist 46
years old, and suffered from cancer of
the stomach'. It Was believed soon af
ter the operation that he would recov
er, but be rapidly grew weaker and
died the night after his stomach was
removed.
Last Friday two well known Mil
waukee physicians removed the stom
ach of a woman. The conditions were
very unfavorable. The patient had
been operated on about six weeks be
fore fur cancer of the stomach, and bad
never recovered from ’he effects of
that operation. It was an almost
hopeless case, and the woman died
four hours after her stomach was taken
out.
It has been demonstrated that the
stomach can be removed without fatal
effect upon strong patients, but the
experiments in St. Louis and Mil
waukee seem to show that it is usaless
to attempt this operation unless the
patient is capable of enduring a very
severe strain.
The death of both persons in this
country upon whom the Swiss opera
tion has been tried will probably dis
courage a resort to this desperate ex
pedient except in very rare cases.
