Gainesville Sun: A sad case of ac-
cidental shooting occurred at the home
of Daniel Hall Friday morning, which
may result in the death of Maxey the
S-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Hall.
Artemus Hall. the eldest son of the
family, who is employed as night
watchman at the Dowd saw mill, came
home in the morning. bringing his pis-
toll home in his lunch basket. When
he entered the house he set the basket
on the sewing machine where his
mother was at work and at her re-
quest took the cartridges out. His lit
tie brother came up and seeing the
pistol, said, Let me shoot" Arte-
mus, in removing the cartridges, in
some manner missed one, and as the
little fellow grabbed for the pistol the
hammer came down, exploding the
cartridge and sending the .SS calibre
ball through the right lung of the lit
tie fellow. The baby did not fall, but
clasped his rand to his breast and
turned to his mother. who got a cloth
and wiped the blood from his hands
and face. The chances for his recov>
cry are very doubtful.

What an American Business Man
Says of Things as They Are To-

What an American Business Man
says of Things as They Are To-
day.
The following letter written lately by
a New York business man now in Ma
Mia gives an interesting description
of the situation in that city as it is to-
day. 1t reads as follows. says the
New York Sun:
Il wish you could get out here and
see this country. You would have one
of the greatest surprises of your life
and matter for thought for long time
to come The country is beautiful,
the climate delicious, though warm to
one accustomed to the temperate zone.
The sun is hot at noon. but shade IS
always near and somewhere breeze
is always to be found. The nights are
comfortable all the year round. Every
morning at about l awake and wrap
blanket about me. Only once in for
ty years has the thermometer reached
100 degrees.
The war seems as far off here as it
did in New York. 1t affects Manila and
the other principal cities just as much
as the war against the Sioux and Apa-
ches used to interrupt the business IN
New York, Boston or Philadelphia.
There are a few skirmishes in outlying
districts. of course, but they are of lit
tie or no Importance. No one ever
speaks of any war here. 1t is all nm
ished from a local point of view and
every man is straining each nerve to
solve the mighty problems of peace.
1.-The rapidity with which those prob
! lens are being mastered surprises one.
In ten years a new civilization VIII

years l believe we will see new Ma
Mia Already the Filipinos OF rank
and means are feeling the contagion OF
| American optimism and are looking to
the future with glowing hopes. Ex-in-
surgent generals are taking posts UNI
der the government on all sides, and
| those who have been always loyal nave
gotten over their fears of the insurg-
ents and are thinking solely OF their
share in the tremendous betterment
that is to come.
Laws have been drafted and are
now before Congress which, when
nassed. will throw open the almost in
conceivable riches of these islands to
American development. Capital has
already begun to come in, and at least
two big syndicates have been organized
one of 81 600 900 and one of $4,OOO,OOO

AS SEEN IN CLARKE COUNTY

Clarke County Courier The Estill
wave is moving with a greater We
locity than has been known for a po-
litical wave to move. They thought
he wasn't in it a few weeks ago. and
now they find that they are not in it,
but to overcome, if possible, the snow
under, they are circulating some false
hoods which can emanate only from
people who are conscious of a defeat.
They have been trying to make people
believe that whisky and beer is being
furnished by Col Estill to buy votes.
The editor of this paper is as close
TO the Colonel as any man in Athens,
and we can state positively that not
one cent of campaign money or drop
of intoXicants has been furnished. In
the first place Col. Estill is too high
toned a gentleman to do such thing,
and in the next place his election, so
far as Clarke county is concerned, is
already assured, and therefore do not
need it. In another place, those who
know the editor of this paper know
that he would not support him for an
instant if these things were to hap
pen. His great gain is the cause of
all these falsehoods, and they are COM
ing from a poor source, too. They tell
is that whisky is being used in the To-
cal campaign, and it is unkind and
ungenerous to lay it to good man,
a pure man who wouldn't do a mean
act for the governorship of any state.
The great hue and cry about the
printers union is also very far-fetched
Col. Estill has had in his employ on
the Savannah News men who have
been with him during the last twenty
years who do not care to join the
union The union wants them fired
on this account. Col. Estill says
they have worked with me through
these years and l will not discharge
them and 1 will not unionize my office
but will employ competent men, wheth-
er they belong to the union or not,
which he does, and doubtless WILL and
ought to continue to do so. This dodge
won't work, boys. He has been true
to the poor, as evidenced by his or
phan homes, his investments for this
employment of labr. and will make q
representative governor. The bosse:
are astounded at the fact. The whiI
has been popping, but the people are
not dancing. Let old Clarke roll vi
the handsomest majority in the STATE
for Col ]. H. Estill.

till, candidate for Governor. should be
elected. if for no other reason than
that he knows how to control his
tongue. and acquits himself on all &C.
casions as can none but a gentleman.
The splendid success he has achieved
from an humble beginning in life is
his best recommendation as to business
ability.
