STATE POLITICAL COMMENT.

Darien Gazette: The Gazette is for
Estill for Governor, because he is
the best man for the place. The peo-
pie of Lower Georgia will make a
great mistake if they fail to make
him Governor. They can do it if they
will only put their shoulders to the
wheel
The Greensboro Herald-Journal is
responsible for this: Brown Estill,
Guerry, Terrell--B. e. G. T.-Bet Es-
till Gets There.
Montgomery Monitor The guber-
material race is warming up, and 1t
seems that Mr.. Estill and Attorney
General Terrell, are distancing the
rest of the candidates. Mr. Terrell is
North Georgia politician, while Mr.
Estill is a South Georgian, and a
first-class business man. We've had
North Georgia politicians enough IN
Office so let's see that Mr. Estill is
elected this time and show the North
Georgians how the affairs of the state
should be run.
Tattnall Journal: You can put the
Journal down as favoring Col. Estill
for Governor of Georgia, and we hope
that every man IN Tattnall county
who has the good of the state at heart
will cast his vote for this grand South
Georgia man. We intend to cast our
vote for Estill and in doing so we
feel that we are doing it for the well
fare of the best citizen of the state.
The Lawrenceville News Herald
says on good authority that Hon. c.
H. Brand will either run for the judge
of the Superior Court against Judge
Russell or for Congress against Car
ter Tate.
Moultrie Observer: No man is do
ing more to bring South Georgia to
the front than Commissioner of Agri-
culture o. b. Stevens. No man is
better, acquainted with the true con-
ditions than he and he never misses
an opportunity of speaking a good
word for this section.
Darien Gazette: We hope that Gov
Gambler will conclude to appoint a
Lower Georgia man to something just
to show outsiders that we are still In
the Union.
Covington Enterprise: The people
of Georgia. want to elect business men
to the next Legislature instead of
cymbling headed politicians. 1t is the
prevailing opinion that another Leg
islature like the last one would bank
rupt the old state. 1t would certainly
put the HxlngS on the poor.
After quoting the Albany Herald's
recent editorial upon Col. j. H. Es-
till's candidacy the Worth county Lo-
cal says That is not all, he is the
first newspaper man who has offered
for the office. He is just as well quail
fed as any one, is a successful bust
ness man in private affairs. Other
professions stand together in political
questions of this character and we owe
it to ourselves as newspaper men to
stand together for Col. EStil, a man
who has climbed from an apprentice
to the proprietorship of one of the
wealthiest newspaper plants in the
state.
Eastman Times-Journal: Prison
Commissioner Tom Eason will stand
for reelection for his present post
ton. We cordially indorse the can
didacy of Col. Eason because we be-
lieve the state has an honorable and
faithful public servant. He is thor
oughly familiar with the prison sys-
tenn, having devoted his time almost
exclusively to the work, besides hav-
ing a large experience as a prose
cutting criminal lawyer. Col Eason
is deservedly popular all over South
Georgia where he has been we'll known
all of his life and he is we'll known
all over the state, having been in
touch with public men as a public off,
Ger for the last twenty years We
hope he will be nominated without OBJ
position, but If he should be opposed
we believe he will win out and be his
own successor.
