Senator Terrell Stricken
Paralysis.
Washington Special to Atlanta Conatltutlon.
Washington, Feb. 4.—Senator Jos.
M. Terrell, of Georgia, was suddenly
stricken with an attack of acute indi
gestion in his office in the Seriate office
building this afternoon at 4:80 o'clock.
Medical assistance was secured and he
was taken to the George Washington
University Hospital, where he lies to.
night, a very ill man.
No one was in the offlee at the time
Senator Terrell was stricken. When tho
attack came upon him, though he had
partially lost the use of his arms and
legs, he managed to telephone. Repre
sentative Gordon Lee, with whom he
had made an engagement earlier in the
day, to talk over the claim of the Cath-
lic church at Dalton, Ga. Mr. Leo un
derstood Senator Terrell to say he was
not well, and-wanted to leave the office
earlier than he had expected, and Im
mediately dropping his correspondence
he crossed the park to the Senate office
building.
When he arrived he found Senator
Terrell Bitting in a big chair with a rag
ing fever. After applying ice water to
the Senator’s head, Mr. Lee' summoned
Dr. Geo. Ruffin. When he came the
physician immediately gave Senator
Terrell an injection of morphine and
had him removed to the hospital in ah
ambulance. Asked to-night about' the
Senator’s condition, Dr. Ruffin would
make no statement further than that
Senator Terrell was a very ill man. He
is awaiting developments before mak
ing* positive diagnosis.
Mrs. Terrell is in Washington and
was at the bedside of the Senator a few
momenta after he reached the -hospital.
She was accompanied from the Cochran
Hotel to the hospital by Mrs. Gordon
Lee, who lives at the same hotel. Im
mediately on realizing the Senator’s
condition, Representative Lee had tele
phoned Mrs. Terrell.
The most serious symptom connected
with the Senator's condition is that his
arms and legs seem to be affected, and,
while the doctor declines to make any
statement, paralysis is feared.
Senator Terrell was hard at work this
afternoon engaged in the preparation
of a speech he is to deliver in the Sen
ate shortly on the subject of agricultur
al and industrial education. When Tho
Constitution correspondent called, about
8 o’clock, he seemed as welt as usual,
except for an exceptionally high color.
It waB a pleasant afternoon, and Sen
ator Terrell suggested that his clerks,'
J. G. Perry and W. B. Lovvorn, spend
the rest of the afternoon away from
office. Thus it happened that there was
no one with him when the attack came.
Since coming to Washington, at the
beginning of the present session of Con
gress, Senator Terrell has been very
actively engaged, and has been under a
fearful Btrain. In addition to giving
Btrict attention to the problems of leg
islation coming before him—particular
ly that of the Committee on Postoffices
and PostroadB, and a great deal of de
partmental work—he has carried on a
voluminous correspondence in connec
tion with his campaign for re-election.
The strain had begun to tell on him.
Mrs. Terrell has not been at all well
since her attack of grip early in the
winter, and this was another source of
concern to Senator Terrell.
The junior Senator from Georgia was
appointed to his present office by Gov.
Brown on Nov. 17, last. He will be 50
years of age on June 6.
was at tho hospital throughout tho
night.
Tho attack which came upori Senator
.Terrell so suddenly and unexpectedly
nffectocl his right side more than tho
loft, which accounts for his having been
able to use tho;telophone to call Repre
sentative Gordon Lee to his assistance,
No one wns in the office at the time,
Senator Terrell having urged hiB secre
taries to take two or three hours off
after their arduous and exacting week’s
work.
Numerous tolograms of inquiry and
expressions of concern have been re
ceived'by Mrs. Terrell during the day
all parts of Georgia. Tho George
ishington University hospital, where
lftthr Terrell is lying ill, is just two
ioks from tho Cochran Hotel, whoro
has apartments.
rVashington, Feb. G.—Senator Terrell
3nt a comfortable day, and his condi-
ri ie reported to be unchanged at mid-
jht. The two brothers of Senator
Terrell arrived to-night and immediate
ly called at the George Washington
Hospital. Neither Render Terrell, of
bonville, nor Dr. H. W. Torreil, of
.Grange, had any statement to make
out the Senator’s condition.

in Congress, while in Atlnnta a time

with Capt. Bob Wright, Assistant Com

"Bob," he said with a twinkle in his
eye, "what is tho pBBSion-flower?”
‘Why, the May-pop, of course. Why
do you ask?" was the reply.
"Well, my lack of knowledge on that
point lost me a lot of votes once,” Baid
Mr. Mobbs. "Whllo in Congress I
loarned that the pasBion-ilower was
just our old familiar May-pop, and be
lieving that ! had something that would
dolight my rural constituents, I fairly
swamped them with passion-flowers.
Unhappily some city Congressmen
turned their quota of seed over to mo
that year, so I had an extraordinary
quantity to distrlbuto. In due timo I
began to get tart letters from my dis
trict. What in thunder did I menn by
flooding thorn with May-pop seed, when
tho farmers were already busy trying
to kill the things Out? Well, I had a
merry time and no end of worry
straightening the thing out. Some of
the farmers down there are sore on mo

Washington, Feb. 2 —The salaries
of the rural free delivery carriers have
been increased from $900 to $1,000 a
year..
Perhaps the increase Bhould have
been to $1,200. The Democrats favored
making tho salary $1,200 Instead of $1,-
000, but gladly voted for the $100 in
crease rather than have the carriers
continue at the old wage. There are
now about 40,000 rural routes in opera
tion, and now ones are being established
from week to week.
No occupation fs more exposed to
weather than that of rural free deliv
ery carriers, except that of thp city
mail carrier. The rural route must be
traveled, rain or Bhlno, winter and sum
mer, with monotonous regularity and
with undoviating fidelity to duty. The
men who perform the service must be
men who have the confluence of the
patrons along their routes.
A carrier must have at least two
horses,(because no horse can stand the
Btrain of steady driving day after day.
He must have at least one vehicle, and,
as a rule, ho must have two. In some
sections of the country the roads are eo
bad in the spring and winter that two
horses are necessary to pull the lightest
vehicle, and in such cases the carriers
must have moro than two horses. 1
Inquiry mado of the carriers in one
district showed that for the six months
ending Dec, 31, 1909, the average total
expense for fqed, veterinary services,
horseshoeing, repair of outfit, including
allowance for deterioration, insurance
and interest on investment, was $225.04.
This means that the average annual ex
pense of the rural carriers in that dis
trict for tho maintenance qf an. equip
ment absolutely necessary for the per
formance of their service was $460, and
that their net salary for the support of
themselves and their families, and from
which all of their savings, if any, must
be made, wbb $450 a year.

Washington, Feb. 6.—It is doubtful if
Senator Terrell will be able to return to
the Senate again during the present
session of Congress, which expires
March 4. The attack of partial paral
ysis which he suffered in his office yes
terday has left him very weak, and his
recovery will be slow.
In many respects the attack was sim
ilar to that from which Senator Tillman
suffered on the steps of the capital last
winter, and which left him weakened
for several months.
No statement has yet been issued by
Dr. Geo. Ruffin, who is in attendance
upon Senator Terrell. The physician
calls every three hours.
Senator Terrell rested very well af

phalanx. Students ranged from a-b-c-
darians to higher mathematics; hie,
heac, hoc; and alpha, beta, gamma,
'delta. Algebra and geometry were
demonstrated on the board; - also dia
grams from Clarke’s grammar, which,
to the uninitiated, seemed almost like
the work of a magician. Perhaps no
greater spirit of emulation existed in
any school at that date,
A olass from 11 to 14 years of age,
beginning in Bullion’s Latii\ grammar,
soon reached the stage of "ego amo te;"
ASsop’s Fables; ere long mythology,
and Roman history, which completed
the readers. Next several of Virgil’s
Bucolics or Pastoral Poems were read,
finally ending the session with two
books of the AEneid. This may not be
considered much “progress" in this
electrical age; but, remember, this was
several years agol One of the fair pic-
tutes in'memory’s hall is that of the
school-house with its aroma of new
pine, sentineled by giant oaks and mon
arch pines, where, amid tho branhe s,
the wind played soft melodies and birds
sweetly caroled.
Then, too, in quick procession come
to the mental vision features, forms
and word3 of those orators and ora
tresses! "We have no better method of
judging the future than by the past,"
proclaimed in serious tones the eld
est orator, while in stentorian voice
from another came, “Why ie the forum
crowded? — what means this stir in
Rome?” Then a softer voice repeated,
“A soldier of the legion lay dying in
Algiers,” and a rather timid one gave
ott "The Assyrians came down like tho
wolf on the fold.” All these, and many
other fine selections, were found in
Sargent’s Standard Speaker.
When daily recitations were ended
the teacher, in devout tones, would
read a Psalm or other selection from
Holy Writ, and offer a praydr for the
guidance of those entrusted to his care.
School continued without vacation till
the end of September, when the students
were “scattered like roses in bloom,”
some going off and completing a colle
giate course with honor. In the great
chasm of years since then, including a
four-years’ war, many of these noble
souls have “passed over the river, and
rest under tho Bhade of the trees,”
while a few still remain on the shores
of time.
In conclusion it may not be amls3 to
add that this initial year in the history
of Macedonia academy has never been
surpassed, perhaps not equalled, al
though many fine teachers from this
and other counties and States have
swayed their scepters there since.

Advice to a Young Man.
R. J. Burdette.
Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle a pick or a
pen, a wheelbarrow or a, sot of books,
digging ditches or editing a paper,
ringing an auction bell or writing
funny things, you must work. If you
look around, you will see the men who
are the moat abt* to five the rest of
their days without work are tho men
who work the hardest Don't be afraid
of killing yourself with overwork. It
is beyond your power to do that on the
Bunny side of thirty. They die, some
times, but it is because they quit at 6
p. m. and don’t get home until 2 a. m.
It’s the interval that kills, my son.
The work gives you an appetite for
your meals; it lends solidity to your
slumberB.
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud of
them. It does not know their names
even; it sjmply speaks of them as "old
So-and-so's boys.” Nobody likes them;
the great busy world doesn't know
that they are there. So find out what
you want to be and do, nnd take off
your coat and make a dust in the world.
The busier you are, the less harm you
will be apt to get into, the sweeter
will be your sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the better
satisfied will the world be with you.
