INTERNATIONAL COMMENT.

Augusta Tribune: South Carolina
and Alabama, the two states on each
side of us, have printer Governors.
Gov. McSweeny of South Carolina is
serving his second term and has filed
the Office with credit to himself and
honor to the state. Gov. Jelks of Ala
bama has only recently been installed.
but seems to be guiding the helm of
the ship of state we'll.
1t is interesting to note this in view
of the fact that one of the gubernatorial
candidates announced in this state also
is a printer. Printer Governors hav-
ing proven to be good things in our
neighbor states, why shouldn't a prin-
ter-Governor be a good thing for Geor-
gia?
Professional politicians usually are
men who have made a failure manag-
ing their own business. and have turn
ed to managing the public business as
a means of making an easy living. Our
public offices have been filled in too
many cases from this class, partly due
to the fact no doubt that men who
have proven themselves capable mana
gers by making a success of their own
business can rarely be induced to ac-
cept office. When such a man can be
secured for the highest executive Of
flee in the state, shouldn't il he cone
every time? Does IL not stand to rea-
son that a man who has proven his
ability by making a success of his own
business would make better chief eX-
ecutive than a mere professional poll
tician. who perhaps has never made u
success in any private business be-
cause he lacked the necessary executive
ability required to bring success.
Col. Estill of Savannah, like the
Governors of South Carolina and Ala
bama. is a printer. He is also most
successful business man. as is proven
by the fact that beginning as a typo
before a case. he has risen to become
the owner of one of the leading papers
of the state. which is managed with
signal ability. There is every reason
to believe that IL elected he would make

Griffin, Aug. 15.-While politics are
red hot and Griffin is in the center of
the field sometimes it is impossible to
keep "hands off" and the local politi-
clans will talk in spite of the muzzlc
that is imposed on them by the fact
that Joe Terrell is a Meriwether coun-
ty man, a next door neighbor, and
worthy to grace the gubernatorial
chair, while Dupont Query is in hal
lowing distance and is a good prohibi-
zionist to boot. In an office where con-
gresham have been made and
senators defeated the writer lis
tened to conversation not in
tended for publication, but not
enjoined by secrecy. that may
throw some little light upon just how
this section feels upon the guberna-
torial question.
A gentleman who formerly occupied
a position in the state capitol started
the ball rolling by saying that he was
for Joe Terrill but thought that Henry
Turner would have had a walk over If
he had opposed him, and that Pope
Brown would have gotten out of the
race. Another stated that Pope Brown
could not be considered in the race as
he was filling a position that paid him
well and that he filled it acceptably.
Still another said, you are forgetting
Dupont Guerry?" This met with no
discussion and a gentleman who had
hitherto been silent and who is well
versed in politics; who has often fore
casted political events, said: up to
now the race is really between Estill
and Terrell, and 1t only remains to be
seen whether South Georgia shall have
the next governor or not. Terrell is a
good man, a brainy man, but all Of
those things can be claimed for Estill
Terrill has been prominenet in politics
while Estill has only been prominent
in managing his own affairs, and those
of others entrusted to him. More than
one South Georgia candidate will de-
feat Estill, probably, otherwise he and
Terrill will have close fight"
These opinions are fair and impartial
as they were given with no thought of
publicity.

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS.
Meeting of Georgia Bankers Com
mittee VIII BE Held.

A meeting of the Executive Commit
tee of the Georgia Bankers Associa-
ton will probably be held within thirty
days, when it will be determined where
the next meeting of the association
will be held. This and the time are
left to the Executive Committee, of
which Mr.. II. A. Crane, vice president
of the Southern Bank. is chairman.
Mr.. Crane is very hopeful that the
committee will decide upon Savannah
as the next meeting place of the asso-
citation and that the South Carolina,
North Carolina and Virginia Associa-
tions will all join with the Georgia
bankers in meeting. This would be
monster gathering, and 1t is thought II
would be the means of great good to
the delegates in their business.
1t will be Mr.. Cranes endeavor to
make one meeting of the Executive
Committee answer all the purposes for
which meetings might be held. The
association has to pay the expenses of
the members of the committee, so Mr..
Crane will try by correspondence to so
arrange matters as to have them in
such shape as to allow one meeting to
suffice.

arrested In Charleston.
Jim Small, the notorious negro bur-
glar who burned his way out of the
Savannah police station several months
ago, will probably be brought back to-
day. A telegram from Charleston yes
terday gave notice of the release of
Small from the Charleston Jail on
writ OF habeas corpus. He was imme-
diately rearrested for the police au-
thorities here
Some few weeks after the burglars
daring escape from the Savannah
prison, he was arrested at Ashley juno
ton by the Charleston county authori-
ties Small was concealed in a box car
and was charged with trespassing. The
negro stated to a representative of the
Morning News, who saw him in South
Carolina, that he was preparing to
come to Savannah and surrender. lie
had Travelled all over the country, and
was anxious to visit his Georgia haunts
again.
The charge against the negro were
never investigated in Charleston, ana
he was not even presented to the grand
Jury for indictment. The authorities
there realized, and admitted, that they
had no case against him, but for some
reason desired to hold on to him, Small
was arrested on the night of the Ash
ley Junction shooting and at first 1t
was believed had taken part in it.
The negro is wanted in this city for
the bold robbery of a Jefferson street
pawn shop, and the detectives say that
they will be able to scrape up other
charges against him. He is an old
timer and has been convicted more
than once. Most of the property stolen
from the pawn shop, and it was big
haul, was recovered by the police.
