The German Emperor Iiaa re
named a warship for Min Alice
Roosevelt. Miss Alice might lie-
come slightly embarrassed if the
one day found hermit lighting her
father.
Judge Atkinson of Brunswick
hot declined to run for the judge-
ehip of the Brunswick circuit.
This leaves Cochran, Hitch and
Parker as the only probable can
didates.
The State Democratic executive
committee will meet in Atlanta
Saturday for the purpose of fix
ing the date of the primary and
adopting rules to govern the State
Election.

County Lobal it running for treas
urer of Worth county. Editor
Alien is one nuln who is hoDest
enough to “know other people’s
money from hie’n.”
The Journal dismisses its con
troversy with tho Valdosta
Times. Its latest accusation is
that ; we are ignorant. A paper
that says Gladstone is no orator
it hardly in a safe position to
teach the meaning of wordds.
Ah, but wonld it not have been
more timely if some of the papers
now praising the virtues of the
dead ex-governor Altgeld, had
loft off hounding him while alive?
It is poor prtise that waits for a
man to die to ting it. Altgeld was
great only while ho lived. Dead
bo la only clay.
-The Waycrosa Journal teems to
tve made up its mind ns to who
lit is going to support. What is
ftho matter with the Herald?—
Wayno County News. Senior for
Terrell, Junior for Kstill, and
force for Guerry, Ettill and Ter
rell. It is thought the devil is
waiting for Smith to aunounce.
"CONSERVATIVE"
Wo do not make it a rule to an
swer anonymous communications
and in replying to "Conservative”
In the Wayeross Herald of Sivtur-
day, wo merely do to beoause we
suppose that writer assumes the
position taken by the Herald ou
•the subject referred to. If he does
‘pot endorse tho Herald then it
I Would have been proper to reply
through the Journal.
In the Wayeross Herald of a
week ago that paper made a state
ment in substance that the lawyers
k and talent of Wayeross were
standing for Terrell while the
preachers and some other olastet
were for Guerry.
Why did not “Conservative" see
the “array of oiass against class”
in this statement?
‘ A few days later the Herald
' uid three-fourths; of the proml-
I nent people of tha city were for
Tsrrell. llow doee “Conservetire"
regard this statement, and why
did he not take exceptions to the
Herald? Was it beesnse “Conser
vative" was looking through Ter
rell eyes or does he regard the
Herald unerring in’its position?
The Journal’s paragraphs quot
ed by “Conservative" were every
1 one in reply to these assertions of
\ the Hsrsld and in defense of the
) preachers and common people on
•£.iwjw>w> tHerald had cost reflec
tions. There was no thought of
insinuation against the Terrell
voters. Some of out best friends
. are Terrell supporters and we
think non* tbs less of them for it-
The writer should be considerate
h as well as "Conservative."
FIGHT OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.
Our neighbor, the Herald, did
not like the picture. It was too
kaleidoscopic. Changes are oft-
times commendable. The acrobat
ic clown in the circus iB amusing.
One expects a serpent to writhe
and twist and a monkey to make
faces, but men should walk up
right and hold a steady nerve,
Tho Herald begs the question.
It. like tho candidate it espouses
assumes the role of v injured inno
cence. Like a sniffling school boy
to his teacher, it Bays, “I was just
goin’ along not doin’ nothin’ and
ho come and bothered me."
Listen: “III regard, however, to
the recent comments of the
Journal, we desire to s»y that we
have studiously avoided tor months
past any controversy with that
paper on any subject whatever,
notwithstanding the fact that it
has often contained unkind and
unnecessary allusions to us.”
Too bad I we were unaware that
we bad been trailing our neighbor
with such dogged pertinacity.
The Herald has made the same
mistake in the abovo assumption
that Mr. Terrell has made in his
campaign. They both assume
that they can parade before the
people as a publie servant and a
candidate for publie office and es
cape criticism. No matter how
faulty their positions may be, how
unmeaning their platforms or how
much they may be opposed to
tompcrauco and good government,
according to ths ideas of others,
these blubbering innocents hope
to slip along through the cam-
paigu, shaking hands and whisper
ing sweet nothings iu the public
ear and escape the attacks ot i
righteous thinking public.
The Journal has never been per
sonnl in its criticism. It never
will be. We assume that our con
temporary is a gentleman and
will not he moved from that po
sition, but if the Herald thinks
we are going to hold our peace
while it criticises our candidate,
it out-Torrolls Terrell iu its in
nocence.
Terrell went into the cam
paign with all the mschiuery of
Georgia politics in his favor. He
had been building np and re
pairing this machinery for ton
years and ho hopod that when the
time came he, like W. Y. Atkin-
sou, would ride into office on
greasod skids. But Terrell has
struck a snag. Ho Iitsu’t the
tho backbone or the brains of W.
Y. Atkinson aud his position on
public questions is not as Bafe as
was that of Atkinson and when
his opponents call on him to de
fend himself bo slinks away like
n whipped whelp and his friends
set up a cry of persecution.
Mr. Guerry has never persecut
ed Terrell. He has been courte
ous to him aud Terrell has ignored
him at every point. The- resnlt
is that the people, especially the
farmers who will decide this elec
tion, have become disgusted with
Terrell aud he ia losing votes
every day.
People admire a man who can
stand up and fight fair. ' They
always have and always will.
They do not like a man who runs
away.
We are not afraid of our posi
tion and will not “studiously
avoid a controversy/’ and if the
Herald does not want a contro
versy with The Journal it had bet
ter get out of the political field.
Rev. W. J. Flandore died Sun
day night at Lyane, Ga., from i
paralytio stroke. He Was the
father-in-law of R. L. Park, who
was employed on-the Journal part
of last year.

WHO WAS CORRECT-
The Savannah Press says: “The
Wayeross Journal thinks the Sa
vannah Press was in error when it
stated that Mr. Guerry would no
longer follow Mr. Terrell around
the state. The Journal is itself
mistaken. The statement was
made by Mr. Guerry in Wayeross
ton Press correspondent and his
subsequent policy proves the cor
rectness of the item.”
. We were in Mr. Gnerry'» compa
ny when he read the Press report
of his speech at this place, and he
remarked at the time, that the
Press had been very fair to him,
but that the reporter was mis
taken in the above statement.
He subsequently gave out the
following interview to the Atlan
ta Journal:
“Yon see I am not pursuing Mr.
Terrell as some of the papers have
stated. I am only where it suits
me and my friends, following him
with a speech occasionally. X may
or may not do that oftener here
after during the campaign.
“I am not trying to force Mr.
Terrell into a joint discussion. As
he has declined my invitation
suoh course on my part would be
discourteous.
J’Of course, however, I have a
perfect right to speak'anywhere he
does and on the same day juBt so
I do not mix my occasion with
his.
“All suggestions that I am sore
or angry over Mr. Terrell’s little
personality about my alleged dis
charge as an attorney for the Geor
gia Southern and Florida must be
amusing to those who hear what
I say in reply and the good hu
mored way in which 1 say it.
"People who are trying to make
the world better should not become
angry.”
Mr. Ouerry’s subsequent policy
does not prove the correctness of
the item. Since then he has fol
lowed Terrell at Marietta and sev
eral other places, not so closely as
at Wayeross, but with only a few
days interval.

Joe McQuatg Wants to Establish One

Mr. Joseph McQ’uaig appeared
before the council at its last meet
ing aud asked permission to erect
a grist mill on his premises using
the water in the branch for operat
ing the mill. He expects to build
his mill a short distance below
where the old Lott mill was locat
ed. The council heard bis petit
ion and decided to grant it pro
vided the board of health would
give its permission aster becoming
satisfied the health of the town
would not in any wise be affected
by the darning np of the waters in
