TERRELL's EQUANIMITYj
,, OPPONENTS VITUPERATIoN

To the Editor of The Journal:
The campaign for governorship was, In
its early stages, marked by one-sided
but noticeably wordy warfare. Later 1t
became a veritable battle royal of words.
This feature is possibly not more in evil
dence In this campaign than in all others,
for TO be reviled and suffer the vitupera-
tion of the small minds of the envious and
covetous, who are always ready to con-
denim, is the penalty imposed upon great
ness.
But who should care for reports-for the
whispers Of idle mischief or industrious
malice? For the most part, one would as
soon imagine a man taking heed of every
tuft of dandelion that passes him in the
air, or every little insect that crawls be-
meath his feet as taking note of the idle
reports that buzz around his career.
Since they are false he can afford to
laugh at them. And the favorite in this
race-the peoples choice-has chosen wise
ly and well. Can we fancy his acceptance
of his opponents challenge for joint de-
bate which has been hurled at him def
antly and unrelentlessly since the cam
paign opened? Never He has stood firm
in the wisdom of his convictions in this
as in his steadfast policies of truth and
allegiance to right as a servitor for the
public good during his many years of tried
and trusted service.
He has shown to his compatriots and
fellow men the admirable quality of
manly independence, and contradictory
as 1t may seem. his manly dependence
and reliance in their absolute and ulti-
mate loyalty to these convictions.
IT'S said the greatest foundation of civil
virtue is self-deniaL Would that the en-
envy might find opportunities for exercis-
ing this noble quality in refraining from
violent outbreaks of seeming pleasurable
vengeance in his veritable artillery
of words. He surely cannot know that

example of this in the next governors de-

STRONG PLEA FOR THE
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

Just outside the classic city Of Athens
is situated the State Normal school. an
institution that deserves the interest. sym
pathy and the hearty cooperation Of every
loyal citizen of Georgia. Should not this
school claim the attention of every Geor-
gian since it is the means of making hap
pier and better the people of our entire
state?
Year by year it is sending forth we'll
prepared and enthusiastic teachers whose
highest aim is to go into the remote corn
ers of our state and carry light where now
there is darkness.
At present the school is not capable of
accommodating all that seek admission.
How can the work Of educating our teach
ers be carried on when we are handicap
ped by the urgent need of more room? We
have in our school building only four
small recitation rooms for the use of six
classes. a faculty of fifteen and a student
body of more than 300. Is it not the duty
of our legislature to appropriate funds
sufficient to enable us to erect commodi-
Gus. well-equipped college building? The
good results of such an appropriation would
be felt in the homes throughout the state,
especially the small towns and rural dis
tricts.
This noble institution deserves from the
state more generous support than II has
received in the past for during its whole

existence the legislature has appropriated
only 1908 rcr its Improvement, while the
archaeological school has received $4,000
and the Georgia Normal and Industrial
school has been given $115.0O0.. Is not the
good done by the State Normal school
equal to that accomplished by either Of
the above named institutions? Surely
this urgent need of more teaching room
at the normal deserves the careful con-
sideration of our legislature.
Mr.. George Foster Peabody has given Us
SO 600 towards this building, on condition
that our legislature give US $4,000. II this
kind-hearted philanthropist. who is a ma
tive of this state, but who for many years
has been a citizen of New York, has Of
fered us this aid, should not our own cit
liens be willing, nay anxious, TO do their
part?
Not only can the legislature of Georgia
lend a helping hand toward uplifting our
state through this school. but noble-heart-
ed men, who are willing to establish schol-
arships in the normal can aid I'm this grand
and inspiring cause. The Southern Edu-
cational conference has not only given US
fifty scholarships, but it has also offered
to duplicate every scholarship given Dy
the citizens of Georgia to the number or
fifty. Hence If any person in Georgia Is
willing to give $50 year for three years,
it would educate at the normal two girls.
There are around US, even in our own
county OF Fulton hundreds of deserving
girls and boys who are working their
young lives away in ignorance and pow
erty, although longing and yearning for
an education. Who has not-se here IN
Georgia worthy white girls working in the

people have for two days searched fruit

Workmen are putting In a sewer about u
feet under the surface near where the
buggy was found and one theory is that
the farmer was killed and thrown into

with the loose dirt which was being show

he was drowned In the lake In Latta Park.

twelve years, and the prohibitionists have
long since ceased to defend II, and have
been trying to extend IL by direct act of
the legislature to the whole state or to
replace IL with state prohibition. But Mr..
McCord says that 1 quoted Mr.. Terrell
as saying II still favor this law as just
and salutary and democratic in its pro-
visions" Yes, for / want the people to
understand that Mr.. Terrell is not In
accord with the prohibitionists Of the
state in saying he ''still favors this law
as Just and salutary." Just to whom? II
cannot be just to the counties now under
prohibition when % wet counties are ship
ping spirituous liquors into these dry
counties. and saying in effect that al
though you have de jure prohibition you
shall not have de facto prohibition, because
we intend to run our liquor into your
counties and make money out Of you and
debauch your people just as If you had
no prohibition"
But the general local option law is very
"just" and very "salutary" to the liquor
dealers; yet IL is just what they want.
Now these Is counties can sell 10 the 100
counties under prohibitory laws. SO II Is
to be expected that they favor the gener-
al local option law, and strange to say
many of our prohibitionists are misled
right along on this line. Some again are
making a hobby out of the general local
option law to ride themselves and their
friends into office. 1t is TRUE II was re-
garded when passed as an educative tenn
perance measure. But the general local
option law is now a back number with
prohibitionists and has been so considered
for a long time. Now what is the whole
truth? Mr.. Terrell and Mr.. Estill say they
will not help TO elect members of the SEN
ate and house of representatives who Ia
vor the abolition of barrooms! Mr.. Guerry
saws he will Mr.. Terrell and Mr.. Estill
saw they do not favor state prohibition.
Mr.. Query says he does.
The plain question when reduced TO It's
last analysis is state prohibition at least
to the abolition of barrooms, as against
state license. Choose you this day whom
you will support.

DUKE WILL BUILD
100000 COTTON MILL

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May 26.-J p.
Duke, president of the American Tobacco
Company, has given a contract for the
erection Of a 81, 100000 cotton mill at the
Great Falls Of the Catawba. in Chester
county, S. c. Mr.. Duke and his associates
have for is months been purchasing land
in the vicinity of these falls, which are
capable of generating about 5000 horse
power, and now own an area of half
mile on each side of the stream adjacent
to the falls. This property is said to have
been the only rival for the present site Of
the United States Military Academy. and
that the selection Of West Point was made
by one vote.
Duke and his associates now own q
number of desirable water powers in the
south and it is believed that they intend
to enter largely into the manufacture OF
cotton goods. ]. B. Duke is quoted as
having said that the present Underwood
plan of merging the southern yarn mills
was absurd, and that the only way COM
bination could be formed would be for a
syndicate to purchase the mills outright
From the interest that the tobacco man
ufacturers are taking In the cotton MILL
ing industry there is a belief among man
ufacturers that he intends to undertake to
form a cotton combination for the con-
troll of the trade as has been done witt
his own tobacco interest.
