INTERNATIONAL COMMENT.

Triton Gazette: OF course. there are
others, but John Estill of Savannah is
about the calibre of man the Gazette
would rejoice to see in the guberna-
torial chair.
Vidalia Press: Col. ]. II. Estill of
Savannah is being urged by his friends
to make the race for Governor. Col.
Estill is editor and proprietor of the
Savannah News. which he built up and
made one of the best and most infuen-
tial newspapers in the South. He is an
able and successful man.
Hawkinesville Dispatch and News:
Hon. w. G. Brantley would no doubt
make a most excellent Governor. but
our opinion is that he will continue TO
represent the people of the Eleventh
district in Congress a while longer.
Therefore. those politicians who are
trying to pull him into the guberna-
torial race in order that some other fell
low may occupy the position which he
now so ably fills are very likely to be
disappointed.
Albany Herald: Gen. Clement A
Evans has announced that under no
conditions will he be a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of Georgia. He says there are
enough candidates in the field already.
That is a pretty good reason to put for
ward, and it is a pity that more ambi-
tious politicians do not take a similar
view of like cases.

TATTNALL'S CENTENNIAL.

Tattnall Journal: It has been sug-
gested, and the suggestion has met
with hearty approval by many of the
best citizens of the county that the
good people of Tattnall. in some Mt
ting manner. celebrate the centennial
of the laying out of our good old coun-
ty. In 1901. Just one hundred years
ago, an act of the Legislature was
passed establishing the lines of a new
county, and that county was named
Tattnall. in honor of the then Gov
ernor. Hon. Joseph Tattnall. Jr. Since
that day Tattnall county has develop
ed into one of the best counties in the
state. its agricultural resources are
unsurpassed by any county. not only in
Georgia, but the Southern states, and
Tattnall is to-day one of the wealth.
Test counties in the Empire State,
which has not within it's boundaries
some large cities. A large force of
men are now at work on the public
square erecting "A temple OF justice in
keeping with the progress which we
have made along other lines, and the
Journal. like many others. think that
a good and appropriate time TO cele-
brate the centennial of the birth of our
county would be on the occasion Of
the laying of the corner stone of our
handsome new court house The people
from every district in the county could
come together and enjoy a big barbe-
cue and listen to some fine speeches
and engage in many other engage
ments throughout the day. II has I.en
suggested that the corner stone Of this
magnificent structure be laid with Ma
sonic ceremonies and that the Grand
Master OF Georgia. Hon. Max Meyer
hardt OF Rome. be invited to oficiate

TURNER. EsTILL, GUERRY.

Thomas County News: Hon. Henry
G.. Turner is a good man, but the trou-
BILE is he is too good-that is, for the
politicians who pull the wires. He is
too good 10 hustle either for himself or
his friends. Politics these days IS
largely a matter of reciprocity, fact
which Mr.. Turner does not seem to
recognize; therefore, no able politician
is likely to hustle for him. and without
such assistance it is safe to say that
he cannot get the nomination Mr.
Turner is one of those men whose con-
sciences will not permit them to play
politics as a game of chess, the only
procedure which in these degenerate
days promises success, and until there
is a revolution in political methods, un-
til the return of the good old days and
ways in which the office seeks the man,
Mr. Turner is not likely to be Governor
or United States senator.
But Col. Estill is a formidable can
didate. Almost all of the weekly news
papers which are not committed to 9TH
er aspirants are likely to rally to his
support with enthusiasm. The ardor of
the rural press may not have much
weight with the politicians, but it will
certainly have its effect on the prima-
ries. AS said in these columns a few
weeks ago, II Is idle to imagine that a
newspaper with a thousand readers
cannot influence two or three hundred
of them. and quite often less than a
hundred votes have decided an impor.
tant election.
OF course, the Morning News, which
is the most influential paper in Georgia,
will give it's moral support in a decor
Gus and inoffensive manner to Col. Es-
till. and that means thousands of votes
for him.
Besides abundant newspaper support.
he will have the help of many shrewd
and capable politicians who know that
he is loyal to his friends, and does not
consider II too much trouble or beneath
his dignity to go out of his way to do
them a favor. But II must not be sup
posed that his loyalty to friends be-
trays him into doing what is manifest
ly improper or wrong. While quick to
recognize merit. he has the firmness to
refuse whenever refusal is the right
thing.
Col. Estill is fully capable of filling
with credit the great office to which he
aspires and. should his ambition be re-
allied, the interests of the state would
be safe in his hands.
There are only two objections to
him: he is not as approachable as ne
might be and, second, he probably
thinks that the whisky traffic contri-
butes materially to the prosperity OF
Savannah. He is a temperance man.
however, to the extent that he does
not drink liquor himself nor will be
employ any one who drinks, and the
barroom gang In Savannah know by
experience that they cannot intimidate
him. In fact, nothing can intimidate
him.
The Thomas County News however
would prefer a man who stands square
ly on prohibition platform In this
particular Hon. Dupont Query stands
as an acceptable candidate. No one will
deny that he has all the requisite quail
ihcations. Further. he is not a geo
graphical or sectional candidate. but
South Georgla's possessory interest In
him is superior to all others.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-07-28
NOT YET A CANDIDATE.

Waycross Herald: Hon. VIM. G.
Brantley has not as yet announced his
candidacy for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation. 1t is true that he is receiving
letters from all over the state asking
him to run and pledging him warm
support, and it is also true that he Is
receiving scores of letters from friends
and constituents throughout the entire
length and breadth of his own district
besceching him not to do so. The OPP
position to his giving up his seat in
Congress has about reached the point
where a riot seems imminent. Mr..
Brantley occupies a singular position.
Everybody will vote for him il he is
candidate for governor. but nobody
wants him to run. The Herald be-
lieves that he could be elected COVER
nor, but 1t would by no means be a
walkover. In the meantime let us
hope for the best, and we may rest as
sured that Mr.. Brantley will do moth
ing that he does not conscientiously
believe is for the best interest of his
friends, his district and of South
Georgia. The Herald is satisfied that
he will or will not run for governor,
and we will try to be content either
WaN.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-07-28
HON. DUPONT GUERRY.

South Georgia Home: Col. Estill
would doubtless make a good Governor.
So would Mr.. Turner of Brooks. But
neither could solidify South Georgia
II the friends of the Hon. Judson L.
Hand Throughout the state fail in their
efforts to secure his consent to enter
the race. the Home will bear the stand
ard of the gentleman from Bibb-Hon.
Dupont Query. Knowing something
of the work in which Mr.. Hand is en-
gagged, and of the immense business in
terests and industrial development with
which his mind is charged, we are in
position to know that all efforts to
induce him to enter the race will be
in vain. Such being the case, ii will be
a pleasure for the Home to support
Mr.. Guerry. Pure in character, mighty
in intellect. always on the side of truth,
morality and justice, yet firm and i'm
partial in the discharge of duty. Such
is Hon. Dupont Query. A man who has
always upheld these principles, and
who has fought his way from the very
humblest walks of life to a position of
prominence and power. as Mr.. Guerry
has done. deserves the support of all
the people. irrespective of locality,
creed or condition.

BE EASY. WAYCROssi

Bailey Banner: Some of the Way
cross politicians and special correspon-
dents have evidently been badly
touched" by the hot weather. One of
them dreamed that Hon. w. C. Brant-
ley would run for governor and before
he could dream again and know IL was
dream Waycross had furnished six
or eight prospective candidates to sue
coed him in Congress. Waycross poll
ticians had better swing to what they
have now. and not count on running
Brantiey for governor to give them a
chance to run for Congress.
Mr.. Brantley counts his friends in
this county by the census lists and the
Banner voices their sentiments when
IL says we want him to stay where he
Is. This district has furnished one
man OF national reputation and we
have just such another chance. II MIR.
Brantley continues to grow in states
manship as he has started greater
things are In store for him than the
governorship OF his native state at a
starving salary. The people OF APP
pling county really want TO vote for
Henry c. Turner for governor. senator
or president. and Brantley for repre-
sentative.

WILL USE STOP NETS.

E. c. Knight and H. DriggGrs have
formed a copartnership and will oper-
ate an extensive fish business at Char
lotte Harbor the coming season. For
the first time stop nets" will be used
and il is stated that the catch will
double any previous season. The mode
of procedure is: At high tide, when
the fish are out among the grass and
mangroves feeding. miles of nets are
stretched along the shore, and as the
tide recedes everything in the way of
fish is hemmed in. The nets being
sufficiently far from the shore. leaves
ample water to keep the fish alive.
When a large boat arrives for fish. the
gill nets are used inside the Enclosure,
and but a short time is required to
gather thousands and send them a
kicking to the fishhouses. where they
are iced and shipped to various North
ern markets. There is great saving
of money and time in using stop nets,
as no delay is experienced when the
boats arrive for cargo. and nets are
not torn by the large fish, as they can
not navigate in the shallow water;
and, further, the fisherman has more
time to sleep and rest.
