The Augusta correspondent of the

estimates of Names present Governor
and Governor-elect:
Gov. Powers is now counting the days
when he will end his career as execu-
tive of the State. His four years adj
ministration has been a very creditable
one, and he will leave the office with
more friends than when he entered up
on it. lie has conducted the affairs of
State in business-like and economical
way, and the people have always found
it easy to wait upon him. He has been
democratic in his ways, and, while he
has kept up the dignity of the office, has
not had very much red tape and fuss
and feathers" He has been man of
the people, and has always been as
ready to listen to the case of the poor
man as that of the millionaire
The Hon. John F. Hill, who will sue
ceed Gov. Powers, will be well liked.
His only ambition is to be q Governor
who will be representative of the State
and its people. He has been representa-
tive, State senator and member of the
Governors council, and has, therefore,
a wide acquaintance with the people of
the State He will be found always Will
ing to do his part toward conducting
the State affairs in way which will be
honorable to those who are in positions
of trust and creditable to the common
wealth. His home is here in Augusta,
and he will be accessible at all times.
The inaugural address of Gov. Hill
will he looked for with interest. It is
believed that the policy which he will
outline will be one which will neet
with general approval. ...
