CONTROLLER WRIGHT WINS.
of A., n. and n. Rond-Pullman
Company's Returns Too Low.

Atlanta, July S0.-Controller General
Wright has won a victory in his con-
test with the Atlanta. Knoxville and
Northern Railroad over it's tax re-
turns. The company returned the line
at $4,000 per mile. Capt. Wright raised
the returns to $4,000 per mile, the same
as the returns in Tennessee. The arbi-
traitors were appointed. and they have
just made their report sustaining the
finding of the Controller General.
Controller Wright has refused to ac-
cept the returns of the Pullman Car
Company who gave in their entire
property in Georgia at 1927 900. Capt
Wright considers this figure entirely
too small. and has written TO the COM
pany officials asking for an eXplana-
tion. The Pullman Palace Car Com
pany has made its returns for Geor-
gia amounting to $1S5, $50. The figure
arrived at is to be taken in considera-
ton with the number of miles of road
in the state over which their cars are

Col. Estin for Governor.

It is generally conceded that South
Georgia should name the next Cover
nor. Since Hon. F. C. duBignon has re-
tired on account of his health, several
gentlemen have been named for this
high office. Among them is the name
of Col. John II. Estln of Savannah.
Probably no man is more deserving of
political honor and reward than this
distinguished gentleman. For thirty
five years he has been an important
factor In the progress of his city and
state. and, in season and out OF season,
he has stood by his party and fought
for the South and her best interests.
His great executive ability has won
him fortune. and he has fought Ife's
battles from the bottom up; and South
Georgia could do no better than to
make him its candidate. and Georgia
would be proud OF such a man for
Governor.

TH0MASvILLEWINS HER FIGHT
Plant system Must Give Lower
Rates, Says the Commission.

Atlanta, July 30.-The people of
brownsville have won their fight for
lower freight rates against the Plant
System. Chairman T. c. Crenshaw of
the Railroad Commission to-day hand
ed down the commissions decision in
the matter and he says that the COM
petition existing at Albany between
the Plant System and other lines is
not sufficient to justify the dscrimi-
nations made in favor of that place
and against Townsville. The COM
mission finds that Townsville is near
er to Savannah and Brunswick by eight
miles than is Albany, and yet the
schedule of rates to Townsville is
higher than to Albany. This, II is de-
clared, is an unjust discrimination
against Townsville. The commission
orders that system to readjust its
schedule of rates within ten days, so
as to remove these determinations,
otherwise the new schedule of rates
will be made out and enforced by the
commission itself.

Quitman. Ga, July S0.-An effort has
been made to get a statement from
Capt. Henry G.. Turner in regard TO
the report that he would enter the race
for Governor. The captain is not say
ing anything for the papers. and his
friends consider it too early to precipi-
tate the gubernatorial campaign. They
think, however. that he is considering
the matter. The attitude of the people
of this section toward Capt. Turner is
we'll known, and no one doubts that
should he consent to make the race he
would receive practically their unan-
imous vote.

list now stands: Terrell. Brown, Guer-
~. Turner, Brantiey and Estill. The
idea seems to be gaining ground that
il is South Georgia's time to furnish
the Governor and the strong entries
from that section will make it a very
hard pull for the candidates who hail
from the northern counties. If Col
J. II. Estill of Savannah enters in
good earnest and is willing to make a
scramble he will find a strong backing
in every section of the state. He is in
no sense a politician, He has never
run with the gang and will doubtless
have fewer handicaps than any one of
the others mentioned. He is withal
strong, conscientious, conservative
business man, and as editor Of one of
the cleanest papers in the United
States, Yields an influence for good
that is felt far beyond the confines of
his own state. He has stemmed the
tide of yellow journalism and has
come out with less of its stain than
probably any other prominent news
paper man in the South. While con-
sentative in his views, he is far from
a prude or a bigot; he is always COL
siderate of the opinions of others. Col
Estill as we have said, is 10 roliti-
clan; hence his name may not be as
familiar to the general public as some
others, but suffice 1t to say that should
the people of Georgia see fit TO place
in his hands the affairs of the state,
they would have one Of the best, pur-
est. most popular administrations in
the history of the commonwealth.

He was kind neigh Dor and the
needy were never turned away from

kind husbandand a loving father.
He leaves loving wife, a daughter

fear death.
He was laid to rest in the family

large assemblage of mourning
friends were present to pay the
last tribute of respect. Cheer up,
loving wife. do not weep, the years
of separation will not be but few
and then you can 60 to him.
Children do not weep for father,
Though your loss you deeply feel,
For tits God, who has bereft you,
He can all your sorrows bear.
