INTERNATIONAL COMMENT.

dublin Courier-D ispatch: II Hon.

Governor, and if Hon. J NJ. Terrell

strength. the race for the Democratic
nomination this year will not be a
repetition of the Gambler Berner-Atkin-
son campaign.
During tine past few weeks Col. J.
H. Estill has rapidly grown in popular
favor. The people of South Georgia are
beginning 20 realize that if this sec
ton ever expects to amount 10 any
thing, politically, now is the time to
put in her claims. and the people of
North Georgia have begun to realize
that South Georgia is this year enti-
tied TO the governorship.
IT would be hard to find a better
man for Governor than Col. Estill. He
has, in season and out of it, battled for

ChampiOned the cause of the people.
lie was the first editor of a daily paper
in Georgia to recognize that agricul-
lure is a business which should be en-
outraged and fostered, and cOnsdera-
bile space in the Monday edition of the
Savannah News has for a number of
years been devoted to farming. In adj
dition to this. the Semi Weekly News
makes a speciality of dealing with agri-
cultural subjects.
Col. Estill is one of the most unself-
ISL men in the state. For many years
while editing the Savannah News he
has advocated the cause OF others with
no thought of self. And it can be men,
toned. by way of parenthesis, that he
never espoused the cause of d vicious
man or one unworthy of the Office he
sought.
Col. Estill is broad minded man
and a charitable one. Every year he
gives away hundreds of dollars for the
purpose of advancing the interest Of
south Georgia and in alleviatlng the
sufferings of humanity.
Col. EstiI has always been a Demo-
c"at. but no man can say that he ever
unfairly treated a political opponent
