COL. ESTILL CONFIDENT.

Atlanta Correspondence, Augusta
Herald: Col. ]. H. Estill of Savan-
nah, has made hundreds and hundreds
of friends by his quiet and dignified
campaign, and whether he is elected
Governor or not will have the name of
being one of the most magnificent men
in Georgia. He has said nothing de-
rogatory to the other candidates: he
admits that they are as well qualified
to fill the position as he is; he tells
every one he meets that they are good
men, but that he would like to be Gov
crnor of the state, and that he is work.
ing to that end. The other day when
Col. Estill called on Gov. Gambler he
talked entertainingly about his cam
paign and told of many experiences he
had. This was done at the suggestion
Of the Governor, who questioned him
about his race. When Col. Estir rose
to take his departure, Gov. Gambler
said to him: Colonel, how are YOU
getting along?" Governor" replied
the Colonel Il am going to succeed
YOU. If / did not think so, l would
not be in the race" Il am taking no
interest in the present campaign" said
the Governor, but il would give me
great pleasure to escort you in this
office" Very much has been said re-
| Gently about Col. Estill not employing
union labor. and during his conversa-
tion with the Governor he said that
he was perfectly satisfied with his
Office at present He employed both
| union and non-union labor and got
splendid results. He said he could
not afford now. as he had experience
once. to let union men or any other
men stand outside of his office and
dictate to him how he should manage
his business. Col. Estill was given a
splendid reception by the drummers at
| their convention here last week. He
vas personally acquainted with nearly
| every member of the organization Col
Estill is particularly strong in South
/ and Southwestern Georgia, and he is
| going to poll hundreds and hundreds of
votes in every section of the state
Cordele News: 1t is to be hoped that
| Col. Dupont Guerry will not have to
run his mule to death to keep in sight
of the Terrell-Estill procession.
Columbus Ledger: The race for Gov
/ ernor is growing more and more inter-
esting. As yet neither of the three
candidates have included Columbus in
their itinerary. Muscogee is admit
Iedly a Terrell county. however. which
fact the other two candidates doubt

same day. within a few minutes of
each other. and when only a short
distance apart. The two monuments
will represent the idea of the blue and

TO COLOR GLAZING STREETS.

Gresham is quite sanguine as to the
results. The copperas experiment.
which was partially tried last year, is
also again being tried. Last season
the experiments were not tried until
the rainy season, and the test, al
though quite satisfactory, was not a
thorough one. The citizens of Miami
are watching these experiments with
considerable interest, and will be glad

TO ASPHALT MAIN STREET.
J. s. powmsrd viii Pave a Portion Of
IL as a Test.

J. S. Downward, who has a fine as
phalt mine about four miles south
west of the city, wants to pave a por-
tlon of Main street with some of his
asphalt in order that the city might
see the advantage of an asphalt street
The asphalt, Mr.. Downard said,
should first be broken up about the
size of a hickory nut. then covered
with smaller pieces, say as large as a
pea. This should be from the crude
asphaltum, and the travel of wagon,
horses and the various travel over It
would make It perfectly hard, leave
no cracks where dirt could collect,
1t would be sanitary. impervious to
water, and would be effected but little
by heat or cold.
This would make what Mr. Downard
calls bituminous road. and would
cost no more than an ordinary pike
road. The good part of It, he said.
would be that no dust would rise from
It.
Val de Travers in France, Germany
and Sicily, have used these roads
for about a century and they are as
good today as when built.
Mr.. Downard will put in some on a
part of Main street near the court
house and in a short time we can
what it will be good for.
