CHARGES TERRELL WITH HAVING
DRAWN "EXTRA FEES"

To the Editor of The Journal:
I am no politician, but once in my life
while living in the little town OF Biz
mingham, Milton county. Ga, had the
honor of representing that district in the
state senate of Georgia. During my term
of office the Hon. Joseph NJ. Terrell who
IS now a candidate for governor, was
member of the senate. He has kept in
political preferment, and l returned to
private life and am now private citi-
zen.
have watched this campaign with a
great deal Of interest. and I have noticed
the attitude of Mr.. Terrell and Mr.. Guer-
~ on the representative issues involved
in the campaign. l have also kept up with
the spicy correspondence between Mr..
Warner Hill and Mr.. Sidney c. Tapp, but
there are a few facts that neither the
candidates or the campaign managers
have touched upon that / think will be
interesting to the people of Georgia.
Section $3.50 of the code (which is a con-
stitutional provision) provides that the at
torney general shall be the legal adviser
Of the state, and shall represent the state
in all legal. proceedings when required by
the governor to do So and shall perform
all other duties required OF him by law.
Section 1894 (Which is a constitutional
provision provides that the salary of tho
attorney general shall be $4,000 per year,
but the attorney general snail not nave
any fee or perquisite in any cases arising
after the adoption Of this constitution"
I note from the official reports on file
in the state capitol of the comptroller gen.
eral that Mr.. Terrell while attorney gen.
eral drew many extra fees besides his
salary. and that his expense account to
say the least of It. was large enough.
Warrant $50 dated May 18th, 1892 Mr..
Terrell drew as extra fee in the railway
commission cases, S340.
Warrant 1870, dated December 20, 1897
Mr.. Terrell drew $500 as extra fee in the
Mobiles case.
Warrant 1853. dated January II. 1894, Mr.
Terrell drew extra fee s425 representing
a case in the United States court.
Warrant 1857, dated November LIST, 1900,
to J. NJ. Terrell. extra fees besides his
salary, 1852.
I mention these items to show that he
has drawn money over and above his sal
airy as stipulated by law, and that same
has been done in violation of the consti-
tuition of the state. I do not see how this
could have been done. except by mere
courtesy of certain state house officials,
and If Dupont Query had been governor
OF Georgia at the time there would have
been a protest from the governors office
before these items would have been APP
proved.

SAYS PoPULISTs OF THE STATE
ONCE NUMBERED 10000

To the Editor OF The journal.
1 notice in a recent issue of your paper
that your political writer is quoted as
saying that at one time the "Populists
of Georgia numbered as many as SO,00O."
OF course every one who is at all Informed
knows better than this, especially those
who remember the campaign Of 1894, when
Judge James X. Hines, the Populist NOM
inee for governor, received 5000, accord
ing to the count of the Democratic eonsOl-
idating boards. and it has been admit
ted by many of the best Democrats in the
state that Judge Hines was elected. II is
not my purpose to discuss this issue, how
ever, but as your correspondent uses "Jr.
after his name we presume he does not
remember this bit of history. and simply
to correct his error. also beg to inform
him that in our humble opinion the Pop
ulists of Georgia are not falling over
each other to get back into the Demo-
cratic party, but they will never lose
chance TO help defeat candidates who have
in the past never let an opportunity pass
to ridicule and make fun of their political
principles which are as dear to them
tody as they were eight years ago, be-
fore the national Democratic party swal-

SUGGESTIONS FROM
OUR CORRESPONDENTS

great deal about any Of the men that are
making the race for governor, but from
what have heard about them, Mr.. Guer-
~ is doubtless the best man. He can
count on one vote from this part Of old
his record than we have already heard If
he is not a good man he is on the wrong
side fer a bad man. Being on the right
side and with the good people OF any
county OF state certainly ought to mean
a great deal.
We have a little colt not quite three
weeks old that has been named Query.
We hope when the day for election
comes there will be enough votes to elect
the candidate for governor that says by
the stand he has taken that he is in favor
of making Georgia prohibition state. It
would be one of the best laws that could
be passed in Georgia If the legislature
would pass a bill preventing the sale Of
the stuff that is the cause of so much
trouble and suffering all over the state,
Doubtless this night there are hundreds
of mothers and wives grieving and suffer
and innocent little children hungry for
bread on account Of the men and boys be-
ing ruined by whisky.
Good citizens, when you cast your vote
for the one that is to be our next COVER
nor and the men that are to make our
laws, remember that 1t is your duty to.
vote for the men that will work to relieve
the suffering ones 1 have reminded you of.

SAYS TERRELL WON'T DENY
TRUTHFULNEss OF STATEMENTS
KNOXVILLE, Ca, April 5.

KNOXVILLE, Ca, April 3.
Editor Atlanta Journal.
In your issue of the 5th instant Man
ager Hill uses some rough language in
HIS card touching up the unsigned cir
cular." Mr.. Terrell has pitched his cam
paign upon such high plane that am
Va little surprised that he allows his man
ager to use such unbecoming language.
Men whose integrity and veracity is
of as high order as Mr.. Hilrs will vouch
for the truthfulness Of this unsigned cir
cular."
A great many OF the best men of the
town of Roberta know and state the train
was held In Roberta for several minutes,
both morning and evening of the 18th of
April, and that Terrell was on the train
each time and that the train was stopped
at night long enough for Terrell TO leave
the train and mix and mfngle with the
boys" and that a telegram was sent
from Roberta to Fort Valley to hold the
Central train. Now this is something
little unusual. OF course IL was expected
that some excuse would be rendered when
this thing was exposed. Does Mr.. Terrell
indorse this card OF his manager?
II the unsigned circular" is not true
Mr.. Terrell knows. It better than does
his campaign manager. Then why doesn't
Terrell deny the truthfulness thereof?
All. Mr.. Terrell knows that in the main
the unsigned circular" Is true and he
cannot deny It. Mr.. Hill says that he can
substantiate what he says by citizens Of
Fort Valley Fort Valley is II miles from
Roberta In another county. Why doesn't
he prove what he says is true by some
citizen Of Roberta? Certainly there is In
the fair little town of Roberta some few
other than Query "scavengers,' or al
least a few honorable Guerry ''scaven-
gers that would state the truth relative
to this matter. Manager Hills card will
be answered by men Of character repu-
tation and veracity and so completely an
swered as TO show the truthfulness of the
unsigned circular" In way that Will not
be pleasant for Mr. Terrell nor Mana
ger HILL In the meantime we insist that
Mr. Terrell himself answer as to the
truthfulness of the unsigned circular"

effective in destroying all kinds of soft

such as the little red spider, six-spot

THINKS A MARKET HOUSE
WOULD HELP TO SOLVE BEEF
AND TRUCK PROBLEMS

To the Editor of The Journal:
Perhaps a word from me will be of in
terest in this great beef question now
before the people and my experience may
have been the experience of others.
A local dealer. at considerable length
gives strong reasons for the raise in beef.
But he does not explain Wy, when beef
has raised to Is cents for choice cuts, from
a price of Is cents. he is only offering 1-2
cents for the best beef on foot; also why
young beel under 700 pounds is only bring
ing cents. l have fine young heifer.
Weighing about $50 pounds. which I Of
fered him for sale. and was coolly told
that they would make no price on her,
nor send man to see her. If I wanted
to sell her 1 must carry her to the stock
yard. This seemed strange in view of the
fact that he has stated that he is in the
market for all the Georgia cattle he can
get.
He also boasts that he has tried to
bring up the grade at great sacrifice and
expense to himself. But this heifer is good
stock and fat and would make as tooth
some meat as one would want to eat.
Now, to me. 1t looks his way, and / can
get many farmers to bear me out. No
dealer is willing to pay what - beef is
worth to the farmer to raise it.
No man is willing to go into a business
alone, when ne knows mat he must sell
to local dealers at a ruinous price.
II all the farmers would go TO stock
raising, so lat enough cattle would be
raised to call in outside buyers, then
stock would command fair price, but one
man alone is at the mercy of the local
packer. This dealers trade would take all
the beef now raised here. Then why is
he not willing to pay for what western
beef costs him and that viii do more than
anything else to induce farmers to i'm
prove their stock. This is also true Of
garden truck; no farmer has the least
chance to sell what he raises at a living
price. nor even at the price that the deal
ers pay for outside crops. Stun is ship
ped in wilted and dry and our people must
buy IT or nothing or the farmer must ped
die his little crop at about the right
wholesale price to get rid Of his surplus
Only a very few of the smaller dealers
make any pretense of buying the home
crop. What is needed here is a market
house as in other cities. This would bring
more trade to A,.anta and be of more help
to the small farmer than any one thing
that could be mentioned
Now, propose this: Build big mark
ct building and give a discount of 10 per
cent on rent of stands to dealers who
sell Georgia beef and truck exclusively /;
also rent stalls to farmers for Is per cent
of who sell exclusively their own pro-
ducts.
Then would commence an era of good
times for the farmer an the plan would
also act as a soothing anesthetic to the
suffering philanthropists who are now
lying awaNe nights trying to plan improv-
ed products for the same low prices.

STATE RIFLE SHOOT
PLANS ARE ARRANGED

George T. Cam. inspector of rifle prac-
tice, is making all the preparations for
the state rife shoot, which is to be held
in Macon within a few weeks. The state
of Georgia has appropriateness 900 for the
shoot and other expenses will be borne
by the city of Macon. A new rife range
has recently been completed at Macon. and
is said 70 be one of the finest in the
state.
Prom present indications it is believed
that each company in the state will send
a team to the shoot to compete for the
prizes.
Besides the regular state shoot the mil
itary men of Savannah propose to hold
one of their own after the Macon contest
comes off. Savannah was bidder for
the state shoot but Macon won out on
account OF it's central location. The Sa-
vannah shoot will be open to teams from
all over the country. The men from New
Jersey are especially invited to attend.
The Georgians are anxious for another
try with the Jerseymen, as the Georgians
in Savannah lost out at Sea Girt several
years ago. The Savannahians who par
ticipated in the shoot charged. at that
time, that there was fraud among the
markers in the rife pits.

those in Kansas, under state prohibition
by direct legislation Which brings to the
front long-haired men and short-haired
women of the Lease and Nation variety.
II Mr.. Terrell's position on this question
was the same in the beginning of the
campaign as II Is today, why did he say
at Decatur he would not only sign a state
prohibition bill II elected governor, but
would be glad" 10 sign such a bill? be-
lieve that every man should plant himself
squarely on these important questions and
stand by his convictions. Mr.. Terrell start
ed out I'm his campaign TO ignore all OPP
ponents as though there were only one
in the race for governor. but from his
Forsyth speech. It appears that he has
found out that there are others. He is
quoted as saying In this speech that his
opponent has lied on him, but does not
call his opponents name. Now. II there
were only two i'm the race for governor.
this kind OF talk would do, but there are
three I'm the race. and l protest against
either candidate up before the people and
saying his opponent has lied on him with
out giving the name Of the one who has
lied. Such a course Is unjust, unfair and
unmanly. If Mr.. Terrell has not the cour-
age to say who has lied. then he should
say nothing about II.
have read with much interest two ar
dcles in your valuable paper from Mr..
b. NJ. Blackburn on the gubernatorial
race. In his first article he writes as II
there were only two candidates in the
race, viz: Query and Terrell, and winds
up by begging pardon of Mr.. Estill for
not mentioning his name, as Guerry says
he CEstilD has no chance. In his second
article Mr.. Blackburn takes issue with
Mr.. Query on the prohibition question,
and states that Mr.. Estill seems to be
strong anti-prohibitionist, but adds: Mr..
Query says .Estill has no chance" To
Mr.. Blackburn l would say, If Guerrys
judgment is so good on Estill not having
a chance. It must be good on some other
things as we'll. But / take issue with Mr..
Guerry on Mr.. Estilrs chances for cleo
ton. as 1 do on many other things. Mr..
and should have. He stands pre-eminently
above either Of his opponents; right on
the pension question, right on the liquor
question, right on all questions, with good.
sound business judgment. safe financier,
a Christian-hearted gentleman. To honor
such a man to the position of gov
ernor we will honor ourselves
and our state. He is nei-
Their fanatic nor a fing-tailed politician.
1 know, as a rule. the politicians name
the governor and statehouse officers. but
It is my opinion that in 1902 the people
will say who the governor of Georgia shall
be. What posted man in Georgia would de-
ny for one moment that ]. M. Terrell was
not a candidate for governor four years
ago2 But by the powers he was told to
hold off four years longer, and behind you
the power shall be. Respectfully.

Giles IN SIGHT.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. May s.-Adjutant
General Brandon has issued an order call
ing for the election of lieutenant colonel
and three majors of the Third regiment
for May oath. Tt is generally admitted
that this order means the settlement of
the troubles in the Third regiment, which
originated in the disagreement between
Colonel E. L. Higdop and former lieuten-
ant Colonel Kyle, a courtmartial finally
deciding that Kyle had been guilty Of dis
obedience and inflicting a small fine. Gov
ernor Jelks set the verdict aside as ridic-
ulous and suspended the officers OF the
regiment. Kyle since resigned and so have
his followers. but Higdon held on, hold
ing that he was blameless. 1t is now be-
lieved HigdOn viii be at once reinstated.
The following gentlemen have been agreed
upon by both sides for the vacancies TO
be filled on the 24th: For lieutenant colo
mel. Frank P. Mcconnell, of Talladega;
for majors, j. L. Daniel Of Admission;
Robert z. Simpson. of Florence: and Cap
tain John H. Bankhead, Jr., Of Jasper.

be but proper for Mr.. Terrell to return
these extra fees 10 the state before he
asks the people to elect him governor.
The salary of the attorney general is fixed
by law, and If Mr.. Terrell was not willing
to serve the state for the amount named
he should have resigned so some other
competent man could have had the office.
/ have noticed the change Of tactics in
Mr. Terrell and his campaign manager,
Mr.. Hill, but do not think that the peo-
pie of Georgia will accept any such meth
DDS.
Everybody knows that Mr.. Guerry is
an honest and pure man, and this vilih-
cation of him will not be approved by the
fair-minded public of Georgia.
The opening of your columns for the
presentation of both sides in this case
shows broad-minded journalism. and the
people of Georgia, believe, will show
their appreciation of It,
/ trust that you will see proper to let
this go in your joint debate column.
