Terrell is gaining ground every day.

A circular has been found among US re-

cause he is the best man in the race.

literature.
3. He does not jump on everybody, make
them mad and then bemean his opponent
because these insulted people are going to

T. He is for a limited tax rate, which
will be worth millions to Georgia.
s. He is for taxing railroad properties

6. He is for better public school system
and explains his plans for improvements.
L His record shows him to be the best
prohibtiOnist in the race, and that he has
for ten years fought trusts and monopo-

s. He is not turn-coat nor does he fool
away his time talking about making a

EsTILL ADMIRER MAKES A
COMPARISON OF CAMPAIGNS
To the Editor OF The Journal:

To the Editor OF Inc JOurua'
Taking advantage of your lfberality IN
admitting letters from all to your columns
in matters touching the campaign for
governor, I desire to be heard IN benalt
OF one of the candidates.
Mr.. Terrell and Mr.. Guerry each say
the other is unfit to be governor or TINS
great state, and their friends say they
are both truthful men. Their appeals are
to everybody and everything-anything to
be governor. The public are weighing the
records and charges and epithets these
two candidates have INDUCED in. The
result will be a perfect landslide for that
distinguished gentleman from Chatham
county. the Hon. j. II. Estill the south
Georgia candidate, the wiregrass candi-
date, the man OF the people, the man OF
the hour, the next governor of Georgia
Not one word of abuse has he uttered
against his opponents, although there
have been some undermining attempts IN
certain quarters to SANDER his pure char
acter And note it is the policy Of some
people and some papers to attempt to ig-
more him, which, of course, is done for
effect.
1 declare to you and your readers, 1 be-
Iieve him one of the safest men in Geor-
gia to place in charge of the affairs Of
state. He will turn the money changers
questioned; his character is without a
stain.

Join hands across the plains via Atlanta,
and on the 5th of June pulverize ring rule
once and forever.
Georgia will be redeemed. Long live

ADMIRAL SAMPSON.

The death OF Admiral Sampson was a
release from long suffering, mental and
physical, the close Of a very notable
career.
The latter years of his life were sad
dened by strife and clamor that were the
results Of the injudicious zeal Of friends
who meant well. but who placed him in an
unfortunate position. Now that he has
passed TO peace, even his enemies Will re-
member the illustrious services Of this
man 70 his country. and impartial poster
ity will lay upon his tomb the honors he
so richly deserves.
1t may be said without injustice to any
one that the reconstruction OF the United
States navy and the remarkable advance
Of our government in naval science in the
last ten years are due more 10 william T.
Sampson than TO any other man connect
ed with that service.
II IS well within the fact to declare that
as an authority on naval construction and
as a naval tactician he had no peer, in this
country at least.
He did a work for the advancement of
our navy, for it's adaptation to modern
standards and in the laying of plans for
its present strength and excellence which
will have won for him high place in the
estimation Of all who know the record
and entitle him 10 the lasting gratitude Of
HIS fellow countrymen.
The naval academy was the beneficiary
OF his rare ability and his almost I'M
equalled store Of naval knowledge. His
four years administration as superintend-
ent OF that institution were immensely
helpful to IL. and highly honorable to him
in every way.
II is eminently proper that HIS remains
should rest near the institution on whose
roll Of honor he will hold a very conspic-

Zone cent stamp for fractional bills) can
ceiling the stamp with his initials and
date and signs HIS name on back. The bill,
which previously was negotiable money,
Is instantly transformed into a personal
check on the United states government
for $500. as safe for transmission as any
bank check. This is enclosed in letter
to the person or firm desired and can be
collected by the receiver upon identifca-
ton ut the postofice named.
This sort of a postal currency would
undoubtedly be great accommodation
TO the public.
The inconvenience Of sending small
amounts of money through the mails is
experienced by great numbers of people
every day.
We have, IL Is true, an excellent money
order system connected with the post Of
fee, but to secure a money order one has
10 sacrifice some time and money, and
when the amount to be sent is small this
fact is an objection to the system. In
addition to this, many post offices are not
authorized to issue money orders, and the
people of such communities have abso-
lutely no way of sending money through
the mails except by the use of postage
stamps or small coins, which can almost
always be detected in a sealed envelope.
This post check currency plan certainly
seems to offer a practical solution OF the
problem.
We can see no objection whatever to the
proposed post check system, and its many
advantages will be more fully recognized
and admitted the more the pending bill is
considered.

Journal Is Fair to All I.

From The Waynesboro True Citizen.)
The Atlanta Journal is very anxious for the
gubernatorial candidates to discuss the issues
Jointly in the papers. The Atlanta paper has
been very fair to all the candidates and made
favorites Of either Of them. Perhaps the sug-
gestion is good one as the good people Of
the country are interested as much II not more
than any one else in finding out what all the
racket is about. and could be told through the
papers that reach them more readily than by
the orators. Another good feature of 1t would be
the elimination of personalities and above all
what one makes his issue or policy would be
on record to confront him hereafter II elected.

the people have right to hear expressions
from the men who want to represent them.
