TERRELL PROVED A TEMPEST.

When Hon. Joseph NJ Terrell at
Forsyth turned upon the man that had
been pursuing him for a year with ban
ter, hectoring and abuse, it sent
thrill of excitement through the State.
We have never known such patience
and forbearance az Mr.. Terrell has
shown. For three months this man
has been going from county to county
calculating his platform, declaring his
principles and holding aloft the ban
ner of hope and good cheer to the peo-
ple-denying that all is woe, or that
the half we hear is half as bad as we
hear it-not saying word derogatory
of his opponents.
The even tenor of an honorable
mans way he pursued until those who
were yeIping at his heels began to get
reckless, charging all kinds of infamy
at his door, not the least of these
cowardlce
But they kicked the sleeping lion
one time too many. He rose and
shook his name, and like dew drops
the callumnies scattered into mist.
The people were told the first time
that his principal opponent and ira
Queer had also record, and that that
record was directly opposed to those
things for which he now stood In a
word, Query had voted against and
helped to defeat this local option bill
which has brought prohibition to III
counties; whereas he now poses as the
Great, Original and only prohibition
lst, and wants it in greater chunks
that Query, now in a state of right
eous Indignation about free passes,
was once dispenser of free passes;
that Query, now tearing his shirt
about lobbyism, was once the king of
the lobby, with partner Hall as his
elbow; that Query, now fighting the
railroads wanting to ''eat EN- alive, :"
was once railroad lawyer and chief
prosecutor of the saints he fam would
now WOO.
Terrell's arrangement was quick,
thorough and severe when he once
went at it.
John Temple Graves sized this man
up when he declared that Mr.. Terrell,
in addition to being a strong and able
man was also remarkably amiable, and
pure as gold.-Valdosta Times.
