The Telegraph received on the night of
tbe 25th, the following: '
Gainesville, Gs. March 23, 1002.—“A
whiskey soaked sheet,” is what Hon.
DuPont Gnerry, prohibition candidate
lor governor,, pronounces The Macon
Telegraph. Gol. Gnerry was in the eity
today, but owing to the lact that bis
engagement here was not advertised
he did not speak, although there were
many people in town from the country
In dieonasing the attitude of the daily
press of the state toward him and his
candidacy, Mr. Gnerry said, in speak
tog particularly of Tbe Maoon Tele
graph: “It is so soaked with liquor
ibat when yon open it to read it yoa
can smell whiskey.”,
Wednesdsy night, the 20th, Tbe Tel
egraph received the following hnaollcf-
ted expression by wire.
Gainesville, Ga. Maroh 26.—Maoon
Telegraph, Maoon, Ga.: Constitution
interview entirely in writing. Tele
graph not mentioned in it.
DuPont Guebrv.
Mr. Gnerry meaut to ^ay that he
wrote out with his own hand that part
of tbe “interview” in the Constitution
which did not refer to the Telegraph.
The part that did refer to tbe Tele
graph was not authorized to be printed
by him. It was written down by tbe
Constitution correspondent.
But while his telegram to us was in
tended to appear in this paper as
quasi denial for home oonsumptioo, no
word in explanation or of quasi denial
appeared in the paper which carried
tbe charge of moral turpitude against
the Telegraph to other sections. The
craftiness which wonld dodge the re
sponsibility at home lets its atiog re
main abroad, ao far aa the Atlanta pa
per; could carry it. We denounce tbia
as low canning and unworthy of a self-
styled and self-constituted advance
agent of morality and virtue.
Mr. Gnerry has been going all over
the state making similar remarks about
this paper, and when through no in
eirnmentality of onrs his charge Is
made publio he rushes in with an ad
roitly worded telegram intended to ap
pear as a denial when really it is not
Mr. Gnerry knows that bis accusation
is as false as it is mtlieious. He knew
it when he uttered it, and he qnailu
when it is made public. It is a ebarge
that no brave man would make and no
good man defend.
When, in the early days of his cam
paign Mr. Gnerry made an unwarranted
and uncalled for attack upon this pa
per, and then sued for “peace if not
amity," (we nee hie own words; Tbe
Telegraph accepted in good faith bis
expressed desire, and we have lived np
to it. Since that date we have printed
a number of cards from him. We have
printed from week to week all hiv ap
pointments, and tbe nows about bis
campaign impartially. We declined to
print two oi his cards beeanse they con
tained veiled attacks on this paper, the
publication of which in these columns
wonld have necessitated a rejoinder.
But Mr. Gnerry has gone over the state
dealing thrnst after tbrnst at tbe Tele
graph: Meanwhile we have endeavored
to deal fairly and gently with thia mis
guided man aa we have with no other
candidate, He haa complained at ocr
reporta of hia speeches when he has
complimented other newspapers for
printing the same reports.
We reprinted in these columns yes
terday oar declaration made more than
four years ago against “the personal
organ” in primary politics. We have
consistently adhered to this policy to
this good bonr. And this is .Mr. Gner-
ry’s cause of offense. When he fonnd
that he conld not adopt the Telegraph
members of the legislature, taking
palss to cover a number of years back;
he has assailed members of bis own
profession, calling them “cow law
yer*;” he has declared in public
speeches that tbe newspapers are not
fair or just, not even excepting two or
three that are supporting him for gov
ernor ; iron, a discharged railroad law
yer he haa developed into a would-be
railroad wrecker. Although we conld
n it endorse these things we have kept
quiet out of consideration for that sen
timent, which, under ordinary circum-
e-ances, bids one to support a home
candidate f >r a state ot na’ional office.
If Mr. Gnerry knows anything he
knows that he ia not strong as a “home
candidate," aud he knows, if he has
cared to Inform himself, that tbe editor
of the Telegraph advised the course
that baa been agreed upon here, to-wit
to ofldr no organized opposition to him
in Bibb eounty.There is no sane reason
why be ahonld pat bis boot into this
arrangement.
The Telegraph is not nnmindfnl of
the weaknesses of hnman nature, par
ticularly when they get into politics,
nor is it predisposed to uncharitable-
ness, bat it seems to ns that the point
has been reached in Ur. Gnerry’s ca
reer where hiafrienda should look after
him.
WHAT MAKES THE CHRISTIAN
To be a Christian ia not merely to be
good, bat to be good for something.
To be a Christian ia not merely to join
the oiinrcb, but to become assooiaied
with the people of God for service, so
as to both reoeive good and do good
To be a t bristian is not merely to make
a profession of failh in Christ, bat to
be born anew into the life, power, and
spirit of His kingdom. To be a Chris
tian doei not necessarily imply freedom
from doubts, but it does imply ex
ercising that living laith in Christ,
wbleh in due time triumphs over
donbta. Nicodemns and Thomas bad
their donbts, but by coming to Cbrilt
and clinging to Him, they achieved a
complete viotory over them all. To be a
Christian is not necessarily to be sure
that you are right, and that those that
differ from yon are wrong, bat it ia to
be very certain that yon do believe in
the Lord Jesus Christ, and strive hon
estly to know and do His will.—

Havoc Wrought In Other Sections.
Chattanooga, March 29.—A special
to Tbe Kent; from Harriman, Tenn.,
ears.:
Ha, ilimn was destroyed by the flood
on account of overflow of the Emory
river. The damage is estimated at a
quarter oi 11 million dollars. It is re
ported this morning that two lives

to have luen drowned, it is esti
mated that -15 to 50 houses at Oakdale
and Harriman were washed away.

The tunnel at Junction, on the Cin
cinnati Southern railway fell In. The

Chattanooga, March 29.—The storm
last night raged in this city and sec
tion furiously for a short while, the
rainfall being phenomenal, almost
amounting to a cloudburst, accompa
nied by lightning. Local electric
lines were obstructed In their opera
tions for a few hours, telegraph lines
were blown down and for the apace of
an hour there was the greatest anxiety
for life and property. Today there are
no evidences of the storm In this city.
The skies are clear.
Reports received from stations on
tbe Tennessee river and trlbutarlea in
dicate that at points above here the
rainfall was heavy enough to justify
the prediction of a freshet of consid
erable proportions. Some of the small
er streams tributary to the Tenneaaea
are out of their banka and still rising.
The crest of the tide will probably
reach here Monday. Railroad wlrea
along all lines aie down and the re
ports received here today are very
meager. The bridge on the main line
of tbe Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis railroad at Mammoth Ford, be
tween Nashville and Tiillahoma, was
waahed away and no trains are operat
ing on that road today. There were
also several washouts on the road.
Trains which left here for Nashville
last night went as far as Tultahoma
and turned hack, arriving here this
morning.

*,000 feet of track In the vicinity of
Lafayette. On., on the Chattanooga,
Rome and Southern railway, was wash

feet of the Queen and Crescent's track

fate.

Chattahoochee on Another Rise—Crop
Outlook Alarming.
Columbuo, Ga.. March 29.—The Chat-
tahooebe river la on another rise, tbe
water being so high that the milts have
stopped. A heavy wind and rainstorm
visited Columbus'last night and for
; hours tbe water fell in torrents. Little
I damage was done by wind. Tbe situa

coming alarming. If this weather con
