The duel, though prohibited BY law,
EtSll exists IN Switzerland, but the
practice is confined to the students in
the Swiss German universities. Even
these fre-eaters are beginning to real
izs the absurdity Of the practice, for
meeting was held at Zurich lately
Ct which student delegates from ell
pzrts were present, 20 discuss the duel
and courts Of honor. A proposition BY
the president to abolish the duel alto
gsther was rejected BY q large major
ity. The consequence was that a large
number Of duels which were previous
" arranged and whose principles were
awaiting the result Of the vote took
place ct Bremghrten, near Berne.
MANY Students received severe napier

was seriously wounded. The police,

does not foam at the mouth and pro-
claim his virtues to the world and say
that he will do wonders if elected but
only pledges the people that he will do
his best as their chief executive. And
this conservative man viii win.
Terrell cannot be nominated-that
fact is patent to all who know anything
of political conditions in Georgia at
present. The people have already set
the seal of their condemnation upon
the political gang represented by Ter
reu which has dominated the politics
OF this state for years. Query cannot
win, not because he is not honest and
sincere, but because he is too wild, too
erratic, too extreme. The combined
strength of Terrell and Query will be
tWo-thirdS of the convention. Estill
will have the other third.
Terrells support will never go to
Guerry and Guerry's support will
never so to Terrell. Neither will be
strong enough to do a dark horse any
good. Both interests, because of his
ability, conservatism and lack of an
tagonism to either, are friendly to
Estill, and one or the other, or both
Will go to him and Estill will be nomi-
mated. Mark this prediction!
And, just here, we want to say
Why split up, waste time, engender
bitter feeling, all to no purpose? Why
not vote for Estill? He represents all
that is best in what we-Terrellites,
Guerryites, Estillites, and all-desire in
our chief magistrate.
Let's vote for Estill at the polls on
June 9TH, and settle the matter our
selves and not leave it to the conven-
ton. We all know that then we will
have as good a Governor as ever filled

CLARKE COUNTY FOR ESTILL

Clarke County Courier: Col. Estill is
going to carry Clarke county by a
handsome majority. Why?
Because he has no axe to grind; be-
longs to no clique or ring; is a bust
ness man, and will run the state on
business principles, a principle which
has been long needed in the guberna-
torial chair; can't be bought because
he has money enough 10 buy the other
fellows. He is running a clean cam
paign-abusing nobody; but running
his race. This in itself is drawing him
support every day. He is no enthusiast
on any subject, but is broadminded and
safe. That's the reason he is going to
be Governor, and the reason he ought
to be.
A letter to the Courier from Madison
county, says: IF Col. Estill continues
as he has started, the 9TH of June will
show that he has carried this county
by "a larger majority than both the
others. The Courier is on the right
line"
The same kind of news comes from
all the Counties. around, and the tide is
swelling to such an extent that ne is
going TO sweep the state 1t will be
pretty tough on some of the bosses who
have promised Clarke to the bosses,
but this part of the show have quit
dancing every time the ring master
cracks his whip. We have found that
we have a mind of our own.

Dalton Argus: There has been quite
a discussion recently about how the
BUSINESS men of Dalton stood on the
gubernatorial question. The Argus re-
porter was interested in the matter
and in company with Squire S. B. Eel
ker polled the vote of the business men
on Hamilton street Thursday, with the
following results:
Estill ................... 4e
IerreH ...........- -...'........ ......2t
Query ........ :. IL
Out of 10 interviewed II of the num-
Der gave no expression of their choice
HartweIl Sun. The gubernatorial
race is warming up. Mr.. Estill made a
speech in Dahlonega the other day,
and it was a very sensible one, without
frills, furbelows or pyrotechnics.
Lumpkin Independent: While the
other two candidates are vigorously
fighting each other, Col. Estill is quiet
ly going about making votes; and it
may turn out that the wire workers
have more wires on hand than they
can manage, especially as some of them
are getting too hot to manipulate with
comfort and safety.
Spring Place Journal: The Savan-
nah Morning News is now a welcome
visitor at this office. It's editor, J. II.
Estill, is candidate for Governor of this
state, and if executive ability and a
clean record count for anything, his
election is assured.
Campbell News: Col. Estill could no
longer withstand the temptation
and at last mounted the stump, hav-
ing made his first campaign speech at
Dahlonega one day this week. He is
making persistent and effective cam
paign up in the mountain counties.
Telfair Enterprise: 1t is generally
admitted that Col Estill would make
a fine Governor, equal to either of the
other two candidates; then if this be
true, it is the duty of South Georgians
to vote for him.

COLUMBUS HAS CHEAP BEEF.


columbus Ledger: The butchers of
This city are not very much exercised
over the fact that the Western meat
makers have formed a trust to put
The price of beef up to a point where
,nlv the very rich can afford to buy
+bat necessary article of household con-
cumption. Very few of the butchers
here are now handling Western beef,
because the prices have been contin-
uailv run UP on them for some time,
and because they could get just as
GOOD beef at a less price For two
years past beef cattle have been quite
scarce in this section, owing to the
fact that so many were bought up and
sent West to be fattened. Columbus
pconle have no doubt eaten beef since
mat time which was shipped from here
10 the West, fattened and shipped back
again. Besides that hundreds of cat
tie were bought up and shipped from
here to Cuba during the war with
Spain. and the two drains made on
this section practically took all the
cattle there was to be had. Since that
time. however the calves that were
left have continued to grow and others
have been coming on, and so the sup
ply has been steadily increasing, and
raised beef at a much more reasonable
price than the Western beef can be
had for. Besides that, the butchers
get the value of the hides, tallow and
ether increments from the slaughter
house. There is no particular demand
here for Western beef when a GUS
toner sees on the counters of the
butchers Just as good meats. Very few
ask where the meat comes from, or at
lea/ they did not before the price is
said to have gone up. But now quite
Dumber are asking if the meat Of
fored for sale is Western meat, and if
it is they generally ask for home raised
meat. And that IS the true and best
way to break up the beef trust. Beef
has not gone up in price in Column
bus yet to such an extent that people
cannot afford to buy it, for the butch
ers here are reasonable people, and
they are not dependent on the beef
trust. First-class beef is still selling
at i2la to Is cents per pound for steak
and other cuts are selling in proper
ton. So
