SECRETARY YANCEY QUOTES
GRIFFIN NEWS ON TURNER
SIX LONG TEARS AGO
EDITOR GLESSNER SAVS HE HAS HAD PLENTY OF
TIME TO CHANGE HIS OPINION
And Wants to Know Why Judge Turner Has Nothing
to Say for Himself in This Campaign.
The following appeared in Thara
day'w Atlanta Constitution:
Prison Commission Race.
The following has been issued rel
ative to the race for prison commis
sioner by Captain Goodloe H Yan
cey, secretary of the commission :
To the Public : As a reply to the
many senseless criticisms of Judge
Turner emanating frdm the Griffin
contingent, I ask that you give
space m your columns to the fol
ic wing editorial in the Griffin News
of May 9, 1898, a few days after the
election of Hon. Joseph 8. Turner
“to the most important office to be
filled this (that) year. ” The same
gentleman who wrote this editorial
is still proprietor and editor of the
Griffin News (strange as this may
appear to some). His reasons for
congratulations then have only been
emphasized by Judge Turner’s ad
mirable conduct of the State’s penal
affairs since. Tne editorial is as
follows:
“Prison Commissioner J S. Tur
ner.
“Os all the results of Monday’s
primary, the Btite is most to be
congratu'ated upon the nomination
of Prison Commissioner J 8. Tur
ner, who will accordingly enter
upon a full term of six years after
the election in October. It is not
too much to say that this is the
most import mt office to be fi led
this year. Mr. Turner has not been
in office six months, but during
that rime he has successfully in
augurated a penal system that will
bring into the State a net increase
of income of 1100,000 a year besides
insuring more humane treatment to
the convicts. With these reforms
under way and more than half com
pleted, it would have been little
less than a crime to have made a
cnange at this time.
“Mr. Turne-'s majority in popu
lar vote and the convention is the
largest of any candidate having op
position. By Lard work in com
bination with the successful candi
date for governor, personal and
family influences in some localities
and stirring up an unjust and un
reasonable prejudice in others, his
opponent only succeeded in carry
ing nineteen counties out of one
hundred and thirty-seven This is
strong and encouraging evidence
thatreoson occasionally controls in
Georgia State politics.”
To all think, ng people, this should
be a complete answer to the unfair,
unjust and senseless criticisms ema
nating from the above mentioned
source From all sections of the
State Judge Turner is receiving
most flattering assurances ‘that
reason occasionally controls in
State politics, ” and that his vote
this year will be as Urge, or larger
than it was in 1898, and the people
will have just cause for congratula
tions now as then. Respectfully,
Goodloe H Yancey.
Editor Glessner Makes Reply.
To this E liter Glessner sent the
following i eply to the Constitution
Friday:
Editor Const tutlon—Plea«e allow
me space to congratulate btcretary
of the Prison Commis ion Yancey
on the exquisite sense of humor h«
displays by quoting a comm' ndatory
editorial from the Griffin News,
published six years ago, as suffici
ent answer to all the criticisms
made upon Chairman Turner’s con
duct of his officj since that time.
So much could hardly be expected

BRIDE STRANGELY DESERTED.
After Three Weeks Wedded Happiness
Husband Departs.
Jackson, Miss., April 2.—'Deserted
by her husband, and only three weeks
a bride, is the pitiable condition in
which Mrs. W. M. Byrd, a comely wo
man of this city, finds herself.
All efforts to locate the missing man
have proven of no avail, and the indi
cations are that he has left the city
for good.
The record as the circuit clerk’s of
fice shows that a marriage license
was issued on. March 7, this year, to
W. M. Byrd and Miss Maude Horne,
both, of this city. The ceremony was
performed on the same day, and the
young couple took up their home in
the western part of the city.
Apparently, they lived together very
happily until a few days since, when
Byrd left the house, telling his wife
that he was going over to the union
<gpot on business. fie waved the
of even a Griffin News editorial. Is
it possible that Judge Turner has
received no words of praise daring
all the period of his first elective
term of office, that ha has to fl-da
this article out of his scrap-book for
his secretary to furnish the public?
If so, then it must be that he has
deserved none. But it is reasona
ble to suppose that I, as well as
others, jould not judge him as well
»t the end of six montns in office as
lean with six years on top of that,
and so no excuse is necessary for
what I then wrote, since I havt
Img ago discovered my error ot
judgment and endeavored to reotlfv
it
Why Does No Judge Turner
Answer?
But if the oritioia ns published in
the News and Suu now—and similar
0 iMcisms were made in nearly
every paper in the State only late
ye»r, though in abler and stronger
language—are “unfair, unjust and
senseless” why does not Judge
Turner answer them, instead of
putting tue task upon the shoulders
of General Ev«ns and the mentally
overworked secretary, who merely
seeks to evade the issue in this
manner?
Better still, since I am not his op
ponent, wny does he not answer the
pertinent criticisms on the conduct
of his office made by Mr. Judson
Strickland, who is making a bril
liant and winning rac?, single
handed, against him and his asso
ciates and all Lis numerous u der
officers. Three weeks ago Mr
Strickland came out iu a strong and
bold interview, published in the
leading papers of the State, in
which he charged gross abuses in
nearly every department of the
prison commission’s affairs, and
challenged Chairman Turner to
deny the truth of the charges or to
meet him on the stump and discuss
them—but not one word or the
shadow of a sound has been heard
in answer. Tue only inference is
that no answer is possible—not even
Secretary Yancey has the temerity
to undertake it Today Mr. Strick
land sends Judge Turner an explicit
and personal challenge to meet him
on the stump and discuss the con
duct of his office, past and prese.it,
without personalities or mud-sling
ing. Will this be mot with the
same embarrassed silence?
Here’s Another Editor’s Unan
swered Criticism,
Or, if this all savors too much of
the despised “Griffin contingent,”
why not answer the recent criti
cism of the Dalton Citizen on the
action of the commission in com
muting the sentence of the “red
handed murderer Perry,” in which
the commission is denounced as
bei ig, “for the most part, a »et of
groveling politicians,” and d» fi d
“to gives palpible reason for their
sc ion, knowing as we do, that no
tacts were put before them to justi
fy it?” If the chairman doss not
consider this worthy his personal
notice, let him put his secretary on
it before the baseball season fully
opens up
This absolute silence on the part
of Chairman Turner may be the
b-st policy he can ad opt, but it be
gins to wear a s f range and haggard
look to the observer. Is the man so
badly beaten already that he can
not defend himself? Sill, if he
proposes to tiptoe through tie enm
paign, it might be well also to put
gum shoes on Secretary Yancey.
As for the counties Ju Ige Turner
expects to carry, if the commis
sioners will send one of their graft
ers down here with the money, I
guarantee that the “Griffin contin
gent” will cover all the be<s they
have been talking about making.
Respectfully,
Douglas ulkssner.
Griffin, Ga., April 1, 1901.

WORLD NOT GROWING BETTER.
Declares Rev. Montague Geer in a Re
cent Sermon.
New York. April 2. —Although thert
Is more religion In the world than
ever before, there is less in proportion
to the need that exists; consequently
according to Rev. Montague Geer, the
world hag not become a whit bettei
since the crucifixion of Christ.
This sentiment was expressed by
the Rev. Dr. Geer while conducting
services in St. Paul's chapel. If the
churches had done their full duty,
he declared, there would have been
no war in the Far East The two
nations now at odds were, he asserted,
