TERRELL DECLINES DEBATE.
WRITES STRONG LETTER IN RE-
PLY TO GUERRY.

Past Experience Proves That De-
bates Engender Aninhosities and
Cause Ill Feeling within tho
Been Free From Personalities and
in Each Instance of This Kind
Democracy Has Suffered-The Fnci
That Col. EstiH Was Not Invited
to Participate I'm the Debates Also
Had Weight with Mr.. Terrell.
Atlanta, Feb. s.-Hon. J. NJ. Terrell
lo-day wrote to Hon. Dupont Guerry,
declining to enter into joint debates
with him on issues involved in the
governorship. It has been predicted
all along that Mr.. Terrell would de-
cline, and he bases his position almost
wholly on the idea that joint debates
engender animosities and create un-
pleasantness, and that they work TO
the harm rather than the good of the
party. Mr.. Terrelfs letter is as fol-
lows:
Atlanta, Ga. Feb. s, 1902.-Hon.
Dupont Guerry, Macon, Ga. Dear Sir
] acknowledge receipt of your letter
of the 4th inst, suggesting that We
engage in a joint public debate, and
assigning as a reason that, Our re-
spective positions and records on pub
lie questions can be made more clear
and satisfactory to the people.
After mature consideration, 1 have
decided to decline your proposition. In
doing so. feel that l am acting for the
best interest of the party.
Joint debates in this state between
members of the same party, no matter
how honest the intentions on the part
OF the participants to make the same
good natured. have never been free
fIom personalities. Experience teaches
that they of necessity engender more
or less personal feeling between the
participants and, in addition thereto,
strife and bitterness in party lines. In
each instance in the party in which
have knowledge, Democracy has suf-
fered material injury thereby. This l
am most anxious to avoid, particularly
at this time when an era of good
feeling prevails.
Nor can I see any corresponding
good that can result to the party from
the proposed debates l have already
taken occasion in my letter of an
rouncement to state my position
frankly upon all questions now engag-
ins the attention of the people. My
record is an open book For the past
six months you have been busy ac-
quainting people of your own views.
Il do not believe that joint public
discussion will be helpful to Democrats
in determining their choice for Gov
ernor. In the light of the past, 1 can
weil understand how they may become
the means of creating aninosities
among our friends.
Il thank you for your kindly express
slons of friendship, be sure that
these feelings are reciprocated. Very
truly, Joseph NJ. Terrell -
Another reason, outside of his letter
which Mr.. Terrell is known to have
considered, is that Col. ]. Fl. Estill was
ignored in the matter, and Mr.. Terrell
did not care to enter into joint debates
with one of the candidates, while an
other was pursuing a different course
and policy of his own.

SUWANEE SPRING.


At Camden, N. j., they were discuss
ing the death of Hon. William j.
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DIR. Taylor. the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. 1t was
there that he contracted the pneu-
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with
Thereupon DR.. w. H. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau of
Materia Medica, said:
That meets my argument for Su-
vance Springs. 1 published a good
word for them five years ago, and 1
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy of
access, and the psychic influences of
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. Ny
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs
equal in every way to the most aristo-
cratic in Europe, need our apprecia-
ton, and they are getting it,"

on REAL ESTATE.
There are men who are now buying
real estate in Savannah who, a few
years ago, could not be persuaded to
give respectful hearing to any propo-
sition in which real estat te was a fac
tor. More money has been made upon
real estate in the last twelve months
than on any other commodity that is
bought and sold. Those who fail to
make money fail because their judg-
ment is deficient They don't trust
themselves or anybody else-"failure
to recognize opportunity" What one
can do others can do also. Follow the
crowd-join the procession.
If you cannot get in syndicate to
buy ten blocks buy. one block, or one
lot for yourself.
Lots are steadily advancing in the
southeastern section. At one time
they were bought for seventy-five dol
lars each. Steadily they have ad-
vanced beyond two hundred dollars
each. Do you want to participate in
this advance? 1t is your fault if you
do not. Others are doing it, why not

THE BENNETT CASE.
A Full Statement of All of the Facts
in 1t.

Full Statement of All of the Facts
Statesboro, Ga, Feb S.-The article
from Irwinville Ca, in the Morning
News OF the 7th inst, does Mr.. T. NJ.
Bennett of Statesboro, Ca, great in
justice in not stating all of the facts.
Mr. Bennett was made guardian for
the minor heirs of George Mobley
about 1897 and there was turned over
to him as such guardian by Mr.. Mack
Mobley, the administrator of George
Mobley, sS37.66. of this sum $400.6 50
was in cash and the remainder was in
notes and accounts. Four hundred and
fifty-fve dollars of the notes were
given by Mr.. T. NJ. Benefits wife,
who is now dead. to Mark Mobley, as
administrator. These notes were in
dorsed by Mr.. T. NJ. Bennett. In the
settlement between Mr.. Bennett as
guardian and Mark Mobley as admins
traitor. these notes were turned over
to Mr.. Bennett as guardian Nov. 2, 1891
Mr.. Bennett settled with one the hiers
in full. In 1898 Mr. Bennett moved
to Telfair county, but before moving
went to the ordinary and told him he
intended leaving the county of Irwin
and asked that a new guardian be ap-
pointed for the minors of George Mob
ley. Mr.. Bennett has been ready at
all times and anxious to get a settle
ment and went to the ordinary at the
July term 1898, and offered to turn
over to the ordinary all OF the prop
erty belonging to the minors in his
hands, but the ordinary refused TO
accept the same. At the February
term 1899, Mr.. j. j. Harper succeeded
Mr.. Bennett as guardian. Mr.. Ben
net has never been served with any
process requiring him to appear before
the ordinary for final settlement with
the new guardian. but in Oct 1901,
the ordinary issued an attachment
against Mr. Bennett to show cause
before him why he was not in contempt
o. court. Under this he was arrested
last Sunday, Feb. 2, 1902. by the deputy
sheriff of Irwin county here i'm States
boro. Mr.. Bennett went to trial at Ir-
winville Feb. with Col. r. Lee Moore
OF this place as attorney. and demurred
TO the proceedings for contempt, as Ne
ing illegal. because there was no judg-
ment of the Ordinary making a final
settlement between himself and the
new guardian, that he had never been
ordered by the court to turn over any
particular property or any specified
amount of money The Ordinary put
Mr.. Bennett in jail as being in con-
tempt. Mr.. Bennett then took out a
habeas corpus proceeding before Judge
ID. NJ. Roberts at Eastman to exam
Inc into the legality or rather illegality
OF his confinement. When this was
done. the counsel representing the new
guardian saw fit TO accept a settle
ment which had been offered several
times before the case was ever tried,
the settlement being that Mr.. Bennett
would turn over to them all the prop
erty he had belonging to the minors
and pay the notes, given by his wife
and indorsed by him. within sixty
Gays. $50 being paid down cash
The matter is given thus at length
because the people here were very
much surprised at Mr.. Benefits arrest
on Sunday last. and now feel that II
was entirely uncalled for.

director in the Terra Alta Bank and
stakeholder. in the Banks at Oak
land and Buckhannon. He was
large land owner and had consider
able valuable property about King
wood, being estimated to be worth
about quarter of a million dollars.
His first wife died Aug. 40, 1897,
and in November 1899 he married
Mrs. Fannie Emma Brown, widow
of Lieut.. Elisha Brown of this place,
who survives him, and two children,
Charles Y. and Mary Eugenia, wife
of John Hoy Brown. There are
four children dead, Harrison S.,
the eldest who was born May 6,
1858 John D., born July 10, 1854;
Grace NJ, born March II, 1856,
and Lulu Ellen, born Sept. 40,
1865, and died Feb. "a, 1895. OF
the two living, Mary E. was born
March rs, 1858, and Charles Young,
Feb. s8, 1868. Their mother was
two years younger than Mr.. Bishop,
being born, Sept. 3, 1899, and was
o8 years of age at the time of her
death. AS yet it is not known what
disposition the deceased made of
his property, or whether he made a
will or not.
In I84s he was converted and
joined the M. f.. church and has
been an active and Jealous member
ever since, having been class leader
here for many years, and his death
is a great loss to the church, social
and business world.
Among the floral tributes at the
bier of the deceased, was a magnifi-
cent anchor of Gala lilies, presented
by the Bank Of Kingwood. The
front door of this institution was
heavily draped in mourning on the
day of the funeral.
