Oglethorpe Echo: Editor Candidate
Estill evidently believes people like
better to have good things said about
them than to them. He is making no
speeches, but instead he writes UP the
sections and people he visits in a quite
pleasing style in his paper.
Boston Journal; The gubernatori
race is warming up. and the candidates
are chanting their virtues TO the rich
and poor alike, also extending the glad
hand of friendship and smiling their
most winning smile. If any state in

most able and capable governors our
grand old state has ever had" Estill
is sure to be elected. He is gaining
every day.
Hartwell Sun: Col ]. H. EstiH is
writing up the places he visits candi-
torially in his great paper, the Savan-
nah News While Terrell and Query
speak he writes. Possibly the Colonel
thinks the pen dipped in honey is
mightier than the (wagginO tongue.
Carroll Free Press: Until the Dem
ocrats of the state nominate in primary
state ticket this paper will not adj
Vocate the claims of any Democrat for

Douglassville New South: Terrell Is
the man most talked of through the
Atlanta papers and the person who all
lows that to shape his idea of the

of the Covington Enterprise, Ben F.
Perry of the Cherokee Advance f. l..
Rainey of the Dawson News and G. Y.
Harrell of the Lumpkin News are cam

respective counties, with others to hear

man that should be defeated.
