Has the Courage of His Conviction
How the Candidates stand.

Vidalia Press: The three guberna-
torial candidates so far announced are
all clean men of fair order of abil-
ity, and they are all Democrats. But
Col. Guerry advocates some undemo-
cratic doctrine in his policy of en-
forced prohibition. State prohibition
has never been indorsed by the Demo-
cratic party of Georgia, or any other
state. Col. Terrell, in his platform,
straddles the liquor problem by stand
ing on both sides-local option and gem
eral prohibition. Col. Estill. in reply
to inquiries from prohibition commit
tee as to his views on the subject. de-
fines his position in a straightforward
statement in favor of local option, but
says in case he was elected Governor
he would not veto state prohibition
bill is passed by the Legislature. He
is a temperance man, but does not
think the cause could be advanced by
enforced prohibition or suppression of
barrooms in communities opposed to
prohibition. His position is Democratic
and the most practical of the three.

Athens Banner: Charlie Watkins, a
negro man about twenty years of age,
who lives in East Athens, was found
horribly mangled and stiff in death on
the tracks of the Georgia Railroad just
back of the Rucker compress early yes
terday morning. He had his neck
broken. skull crushed in, left leg sew
cred just above the ankle. leg broken
above the knee, and both arms crushed
near the wrist. When found he was
lying with his head near the clear
post and his body stretched at full
length along the track. The body was
covered with snow. Watkins is sup
posed to have jumped off the freight
train of the Georgia Railroad, which
left heavily loaded with cotton late
Friday night. He was seen near the
depot helping to truck cotton, and it is
supposed that he was on the train and
was going to jump off at his home

rArrNALL's POsT OFFICES.

Tattnall Times: 1t is rumored that
the Postofflce Department has decided
to make a change in both the postof-
fees at ClaXton and Hagan. This state
of affairs is accepted by the two
officials whose official heads have been
marked for slaughter and it is only a
question of a short time before a
change will be made. so we are in
formed. It seems that the preteXt for
thi step arises from the report Of a
postoffice inspector who dropped in on
these officers unawares about ten days
ago. While the funds belonging to the
government We're at hand yet there
seemed to be some irregularity in the
bookkeeping which we are Informed 4
was only technical 1t may be that
political influences both in and out of
the county may have something to do
with the changes.

COURTESY pREAKs A LEG.

Tampa Tribune: Because he felt
called upon to perform a common act
of politeness, J. c.. Tally, visitor
from st. Petersburg is suffering from
a broken leg. Mr.. Tally, with his wife
and other ladies. was on a Seventh
avenue car at Seventh avenue and
Seventeenth street yesterday morn
ing and, recalling a business matter
that he wished TO attend to in that To-
cality. essayed to jump from the mov-

made the step in safety, but released
his hold to tip his hat to his COM
panions. In this he lost his balance.
and fell off the car backwards. The
surgeon of the Tampa Electric Com
pany found that the visitor had suf-
fered broken leg, and that his in

not serious.

Senator Hanna and ]. p. Morgan Said
to Have Settled II.

New York, March 26.-Regarding
the, meeting of the coal miners repre-
~sefGS1tives and the Cancellation COM
mittee of the Civic Federation the
Herald will say tomorrow:
There is no likelihood of a strike
in the anthracite coal district this
year. The miners have formulated
their demands and the operators will
probably meet them half way"
The announcement was made last
night upon the best authority after
Senator Hanna's conference with j.
Pierpont Morgan, that the threatened
trouble will be averted mainly through
the efforts OF the two men who. were
the chief factors in settling the big
strike in the presidential campaign
iof 1900. Senator Hanna is one OF the
most earnest advocates of the cause
|of arbitration and he presented the
situation from his view point with
such force that Mr.. Morgan was con-
|vinced' that the operators should
yield a point.
Mr.. Morgan Is in control Of some Of
THE coal roads and Is in a position to
decide upon the course of action to be
taken without reference to any other
|ae'j magnates..
