BIGHT OF if
Keep Peace if Terrell will Debate.
Replying to Mr. Terrell's speech
nt Forseyth Mr. Guerry shows
that Terrell used the only epithet
and abuse that ha" been spoken
during the campaign. In part he
says, of course I know that many
newspapers unfriendly to nte have
been accusing me of making per
sonal attacks on on Mr. Terrell in
my speeches, but I also know that
Mr. Terrell knows that these accu
sations are untrue and that I have
^not done so in a single instance.
• I now challenge every newspa
per in Georgia to quote correctly
any word of personal abuse or at
tack in which I have indulged in
any of my speeches. I do not ask
for their constructions of what I
hnvo said; but I ask for what I
have said so that the people may
construte my language for them
selves.
Mr. Terrell claims that he has
pitched his campaign upon a high
er plane than the one of personal
ities, and he even makes this
same claim in this particular
speech. And yet, without any
abuse or epithets or personalities
to resent, in bis Forsyth speech he
repeatedly indulges in abuse,
epithets aud personalities himself.
He has refused repeatedly to
meet me face to face in open, hon
orable public debate, putting his
refusal ou the ground that in per
sonalities betiveeu him and me, ail
injury to the party would be the
result.
Many speakers from the county
and over the state will address tile
coyentiou on subjects assign
them .
Each school in tile county is en
titled to five delegates to every
one hundred members, and super-
intemlants and secretaries are
delegates by virtue of their aespec
tive offices.
Delegates should be appointed
at once and names sent in to Mr.
W. S. Booth, Manor, Ga., that
homes may be provided.
All subjects will be open for dis
cussion by delegates and workers
A grand rally is expected at
this meeting and a cordial wel

in next issue. Dr. W. H. Buchan

tion informs the Journal that re
ports from all sections of the
county show new life in Sunday
school work.

and more in the interest of the

I must say, however, that I
think Mr. Terrell and his friends

.1 am a coward.
Is it true that this change of de
meanor and of speech is the result
of the coufereuce above referred
to, or has it been the program all
the while that after the newspa
pers had impressed the people
with the false idea that 1 was
abusing Mr. Terrell he should be
finally lashed into fury aud belab
or me in my absence?
Of what else besidos cowardice
does Mr. Terrell accuse me in his
Forsyth speech? Let us enumer
ate:
Mulicious falsehood, aud this he
does repeatedly.
Of misrepresentation and slan
der.
Of possessing the leading char
acteristics of the cuttle-fish.
Of falsehood out of whole cloth.
Of dirty politics.
Of blackguardism and abuse.
Of hypocrisy.
Of revenge.
All of these accusations arc re-
or restated in different
language. And yet Mr. Terrell
says m the midst of all this; “I
have no words of nbuse for those
who seek to wrong me.” I am
happy thus to find that hie vocab.
ulary is deficient.
I am afraid that after all, tbe
wise course pursued by Mr. Terrell

under such uiuiuterestml advice
from his friends in declining a
joint debate, we will still have
some personalities; but I assure
my friends and the public, that

So far as the danger of any per
sonal violence is concerned, 1 will
give a bond to keep the peace and
allow Mr. Terrell to act eutirely
without a bond.
Mr. Terrell seems greatly to re-
seut the suggestion that he is now
a liquor man, etc. I have never
used this expression m regard to
him aud have never insinuated
that he was a liquor men in the
sense of a liquordrinker or a liquor
dealer or a liquor manufatcure.

The ice business of Waycross,
is assuming large proportions, and
the prospects are that thero will
lie more ice manufactured and
sold from this city this summer,
than in any three towns of its
size in South Georgia.
A reporter dropped into tlio
Waycross Ice Company's factory
a few days ago, and inquired about

talk, but by standing around and
prying into reports, it was ascer
tained that the concern has its

Thu Waycross lee Co’s plant is one
of the largest factories in Southern
Georgia, and tho amount of ice
turned out tlmro, is enormous.
For several weeks before the
ason opened, tho factory had
been running full timo in order to
lilt the cold storage. Before the
several apartment* were filled,
the vegetable cars began to roll in
from Florida, and as tho Way-
cross Ice Co., has u contract to ioe

curB cold.
During March, the company
re-iced 1511 vegetable cars, using
H3S),700 pounds of ice, besides
shipping 45 tons in solid cars to
Tnmpu, for tlio same ubo.
Up to this time over 500 cars of
lettuce and celery and strawber
ries, have been shipped out of
Florida, and every one of these
cars had to he re-iced in Way-

in Armour’s cars. Besides this,
