ESTILL STOCK ON THE RISE.
brunswick Attorney Tells How
south GeorEin and North Georgia
May Elect a Governor.


Brunswick. Ga. Dec. Those who
take an interest in politics had much
to talk about to-day in discussing the
retirement Of Mr.. Turner from any
connection with the coming guberna-
torial campaign as a prospective can
didate. In q group Of politicians and
professional men this morning. one OF
the most prominent Of the legal frater-
nifty Of this city said: I am an ex-
ponent Of the South Georgia idea and
VIII always maintain that we folks
down here can never accomplish any
thing. practically speaking. until We
begin 10 stick together. Up to this
day my mind has been undecided IS
10 which I would support Mr. Turner
or Mr.. Estill. but now that Mr.. Tur-
ner has Withdrawn his name from all
discussion as a prospective or actual
candidate. I viii do all 1 can for Mr..
Estil. Furthermore, for the benefit, of
you gentlemen indicating his hearers
by wave Of the hand. Il want to tell
you that on a recent trip up into the
mountains Of North Georgia l had it
from an absolutely reliable source that
II We South Georgians would back up
1pG A[SAAAA v IN q SDl44 QtlES dllOH AEOEll
South Georgia, the North Georgia peo-
pie would come over to US and support
him heartily. OF course you have
heard the talk, and know
that it is very probable that the
next candidate for Governor will be
nominated by a convention. owing to
the fact that so many candidates viii
probably be out that il will be i'm
practicable to nominate by primaries,
as heretofore. You can thus readily
understand what a great political force
Col. Estill would have II he goes into
a convention with the South Georgia
counties solidly at his back. 1t would
mean 4 clean sweep for South Geor-
gia, and for the first time in a num-
Der of years South Georgia would have
man from this section in the chief
executives chair. 1t is the only play
to make in this game of politics. and
ii is now or never for South Georgia to
make a sweep. The one idea which
should control all of us is that OF
sticking together" for experience has
told US time and again that we never
make anything by dividing up our po-
litical support"
The sentiments thus expressed SEEM
ed to meet with the most hearty ap-
proval from group of hearers, and
Estill stock is on the rise considerably.
ne Is the only man from South GeOr-
gia now in the field and the only one
that will be out for the governorship
from South Georgia, and as a South
Georgian, it is confidently expected
here that all of the counties in this
section of the state will rally to him,
especially as it is now known that as
soon as the North Georgia politicians
are convinced that South Georgia will
stick together and support one Of their
own men they will concede the race
to him and throw him their support.

City Administration VIII Oppose
Citizens Club Movement.
Waycross, Ca. Dec. 1.-There is a
probability of two tickets being in the
field for the mayoralty at the ap-
preaching nomination and election It
has been customary for years for a
mass meeting to be held on the second
Friday night in December to nominate
officers. The Citizens Club, however.
is hard at work to defeat this pIan.
suggesting I'm lieu of it a white Iri-
mary to be held at the Opera House
Tuesday night next, from to 10 D.
m. The election managers appointed
at the last meeting of the Citizens
Club are as follows: ]. L. Crawley, w.
H. Cason, w 3. Goodrich, T. $. Paine,
and NJ, D. Blackshear.
The present administration is not
asleep in the premises by any means.
In fact, they are already at work in
a quiet way. They 2pose the white
primary straight out. At a meeting
held last night the Council instructed
Mayor Knight to confer with nose
who oppose the mass meeting, suggest
ing an all-day primary, to be partici-
pated in by all registered voters of the
city. If the leaders of the Citizens
Club refuse this arrangement then Mr..
knight is to call a mass meeting for
the second Friday night in December
at the Opera House. 1t is very evil
dent that two tickets will be in the
field, for it is believed and feared that
the factions cannot be harmonized.
City Clerk Bird reports nearly 500
registered voters for this election. The
registered vote last year was 55l.

DOUGLAS cHEoKERED CAREER.
FOrEer in Two Cities and Twice

A FOrEer in Two Cities and Twice
Married in Georgia.
From Saturdays Atlanta Constitution.
James L. Douglas, preacher. forger,
bigamist, is at last in the hands of the
law and will be brought through At
lanta to-day on his way to Lithonia,
where he will be remembered as the
husband for two days of Miss Grace
George. Douglas is one of the shrewd-
est miscraants ever known in this part
of the country. He is held at present
in Eufaula, Ala, and when his arrest
was made known acquisitions for his
return were forwarded from Washing
ton, D. c.; Remington. Va. and At
lanta, the authorities of Virginia, Geor-
gia and the District of Columbia all
being close on his trail. Outside of
Georgia he is wanted on the charge
of forgery. 1t will be a hot race to
Eufaula between the acquisitions and
the first one there wins the prize and
takes the prisoner, but the Georgia
requisition has the lead, and James IL.
Douglas, alias Hamilton. alias Mitchell.
alias DAILY, will doubtless answer first
to the charge of bigamy.
Douglas was married on Nov. to
Miss Grace George OF l1tnOnld- / WI
days later he left and at the time it
was stated that he had gone to New
York, from whence he was thought 10
have sailed for Scotland.
The officers who have been tracking
Douglas believe that he went to Flor
ida instead of going TO New York.
Douglas was married at Naldosta
last March. This marriage he contract
ed under the name of Hamilton and his
bride at this time was a young lady
who now lives in Spring Place, Fla. He
left her about as quickly as he left MISS
George a few weeks ago. The only Pho
tograph that could be secured of Doug
las was secured from his first wife and
it was through this that he was appre-
hended.
He is also wanted by the authorities
in Washington, D. c., and Remington,
Va, in both of which places he is al
legged to have been guilty of forgeries.
In Washington he forged a check
amounting to s125, while in Remington
his forgery amounted TO $127.50
1t is believed that when he left At
lanta he went through Valdosta,
where he contracted the marriage last
March, and it has developed that he
has made no effort to change his per-
sonal appearance.
Douglas claimed to be a minister OF
the United Brethren when he came to
Atlanta He brought with him letters
of introduction from the officials or
that order in England and Scotland.
About a month before his marriage he
Joined the Congregational Church, but
in this he held no official position.

lectures before the Tennessee Histori-
cal Society have won for him a wide
and enviable reputation as an author
