Col. RusselI's Speech.
Ringing addresses indorsing the can
didacy of Col. Estill were made. Col.
Warning Russell declared that, al
though Col. Estill had on occasions OPP
posed him in local politics, he was heart
and soul in his fight. IF for no other
reason" said Col. Russell, ut is a duty
we owe to our city. We owe it to Sa-
vannah and ourselves to get out and
fight hard to poll large vote and give
the home candidate big majority. Let
every man put his shoulder to the
L
in home before anything else.
This is not only Col. Estill's fight
1t is Savannah's. Let us all move
heaven and earth for the home boy
every time, and let us see to it that
Col. Estill receives a majority that will
make him feel proud when his name
is presented to the convention. 1t is
the duty of every intelligent white
voter to go to the Court House to-mor-
row and vote for the Savannah candi-
date. Let every citizen not only vote
himself, but see to it that his friends
vote. Remember, that Savannah-our
own city-stands above all things, and
that it is a duty we owe to her. Let
my friends and fellow citizens not be
Indifferent but even If it inconveni-
ences them visit the polls and vote"
Col. RusselPs speech was loudly
cheered and there was no lack of en-
thusiasm either for the speaker of his
sentiments. He was not. however, the
only one who spoke. Others urged that
a full vote be polled. Among those
who made addresses were Samuel B.
Adams, Esq, Mr.. c. H. Dorsett, r. M.
Hitch, Esq, Mr.. Samuel Reynolds.
Capt. w. B. Stephens, Mr.. w. P.
Bowling, George w. Owens, Esq, and
others. All of the speakers urged the
voters of the county to turn out in
full force, and not by their indiffer-
ence create a false impression in other
counties in the state.
Some Other Fights.
Considerable interest has developed
in the contests for School Commits
sioner, Commissioner of Agriculture
and Prison Commissioner. The friends
of G. R. Glenn and W. B. Merritt, o.
B. Stevens and r. T. Nesbitt, and
Thomas Eason and Wiley Williams
were particularly active yesterday and
the supporters of each are working
with vim to carry the county.
The voting boxes were taken out yes
terday and the stands were put in place
for the opening of the polls. There will
only be four boxes, located at the win
dows in the County Commissioners Of
flee, and that of the receiver of tax re-
turns. 1t is likely that slight changes
will be made this morning in the list
of managers and clerks. They will be
sworn in at o'clock in the City Court
room and are expected to be on hand
promptly at that hour.
