COLONEL J. H. EsTILL.

Col. j. b. EstiIl has written card
of thanks to his friends and Supporters
in his paper "Fhe Savannah Morning
News" which breathes the spirit of
patriotism and true manly courage,
and which demonstrates more than
ever had Col. Estill been chosen Gov
ernor, that Georgia would have had a
chief magistrate able, worthy and
soundly democratic. Col. Estill made
a highly fattering race and if he had
not been handicapped by being almost
total stranger to large section of
the state it might have been Governor
EstilI. And though defeated Col EstiII
says he has nothing to regret, and this
even so, for by his splendid and manly
course throughout the entire campaign
he has built up a strong following in
the state and it is now predicted that
the gentleman from Chatham will be
heard from IN the future.

That individual who lives only for
self, if stupid, is an object FOR pity; if
intelligent, an object tor censure. 1t
does not seem possible that intelligent
beings could choose purpose so small,
narrow, shallow, worthless-but there
is danger of becoming too personal in
these remarks, for the world is full of
selfish people,
It does not matter, it is just as we'll
to speak out plainly once in while.
People who do not care. for the well
fare of any except themselves or. what
is practically the same, their imme-
date relatives and friends, are a hin
drance rather than help to all good.
The ignorant heather who bows to a
god of wood or stone deserves not
nearly so much to be condemned as he
who makes god of himself. Selfish
ness and unbelief are the two great
sin of the corrupted human heart.
The two are closely related and associa-
ted. Such individuals are menace to
any community and do not deserve to
be classed as good citizens.
