Eubernatorial honOrS In Georgia.
Thomaston Times: The press of the
state seems to believe silence to be
golden in reference to the guberna-
torial possibilities. With Dupont
Query, for prohibition, Col Terrell an
avowed local optionist, and Col. Estill
clamoring for showing from South
Georgia, should start the ball to roll
ing" and LET the band play "There'H
Be Hot Times" when Reuben Comes
to Town
Dalton Argus: Col. Estill has been in
North Georgia campaigning for the
governorship the past few days. Col.
Estill will not allow any grass to grow
under his feet.
Irwinton Bulletin: Col. Estill is now
making frequent visits about over the
state in his own interest for Governor.
He is receiving many nice compliments
from the press, and meeting with much
encouragement.
Tattnall Journal: Col Estill has been
hustling around among the North
Georgia boys, and from the many COM
plimentary notices we see about him in
the various papers ii is safe to say lie
is the coming man for Governor. He is
the Journals choice, and we believe be-
fore election day he will be the choice
of three-fourths of the voters of the
Empire State.
Waynes County News: In order that
the duties pertaining to the office of
Attorney General might not be affected
by the candidacy of that official for
gubernatorial honors, Mr.. Terrell has
rendered his resignation and made pub
lie his intentions. His utterances are
well chosen, straight forward and
manly. In our opinion, the race is with
him and Estill.
Montezuma Record. Old Man o. B.
Stevens sits steady in the boat and
watches the fight being made for other
State House officers, but has no fear of
anybody trying to run the possum out
of his tree. And he's right, too.
Darien Gazette: Georgia is still in
debt, but we know the man who can
straighten out her affairs all right if
the people will elect him. Estill is just
the man to do it.
Greensboro Herald Journal: The Dub
lin Courier Dispatch very happily sug-
gests that the old soldiers of Georgia
now have opportunity to honor a prl-
vate soldier one who carried the gun
and marched side by side with the boys
who bore the burdens of the strife. But
it is not Private Estill's" army and
navy record alone, untarnished as they
are, that should appeal to the voters
of Georgia. From his early boyhood,
Col. Estill has been a hero in the
strife" not one who by a single act Ct
daring has turned upon himself the
calcium light of publicity but plain
everyday moral hero, who has wooed
and won success by plain. practical,
everyday common sense method; by
doing whatever his hands found to do"
and doing it well. If Col. Estill Is
elected Governor of Georgia, it will be
by the same straightforward, honest
methods by which he has achieved his
splendid business success. No trickery;
no deceit; no trading with him; he
will have mo enemies to punish and
no friends to reward" His opponents,
so far as we know, are all excellent
gentlemen, eminently worthy of the high
office to which they aspire. but as for
us and our house." why, we are just
| somewhat inclined toward Private Es-
TILL"
Douglas Breeze: Some of our ex-
| changes want to know how it happens
| that the Breeze has Topped over to
Estill." 1t has never ''fiopped." The
Breeze was for Turner as long as there
was hope; since then it espouses the
cause of the only South Georgian be-
