ESTILL FOR GOVERNOR.

GAINESVILLE News-Gazette: In this
issue we present a number of reasons
given by different editors and citizens
of Georgia why Col. J. H. Estill of
Savannah, Ga, should be nominated
and elected Governor of the state of
Georgia. These reasons seem to be suf-
ficient to authorize all Democrats to
cast their suffrage for him in the COM
ing primary.
Many reasons have been assigned by
his friends and followers, but the most
important to our mind. is that Col Es-
till is man of superb business and
executive ability. He has demonstrat-
ed from the beginning of his career
to the present moment that he knows
how to handle affairs, and Georgia has
never needed a business man in the
Governors chair more than at pres
emit Millions of dollars go from the
taxpayers pockets through the Capt.
toll during every administration and
we do not believe there is a man in
Georgia who could and would manage
all this money more to the advantage
of the common peoples interest. If
anybody can stop the leaks and re-
duce taxes Estill is the man. If Ter
rell is made Governor it will be the
same old crowd of political officehold-
ers and the same old high tax rate,
and the people, as usual, will be pay
ing the bills.
Col. Estill is not a lawyer, nor poll
tician, but he is a man of affairs: a
rockribbed Democrat, an upright citi-
zen and a Christian gentleman-a man
eminently qualified and worthy to be
Governor of Georgia.
North Georgia Citizen: We have the
highest personal regard for Col. Estill
as a Confederate soldier citizen and
editor, and should he be elected we
shall hasten to congratulate the people
of Georgia. He is no politician, but is
a high minded gentleman and patriot
and has contributed no little to the up
building of Georgia.
NEED GOOD MEN IN OFFICE.
The following communication in the
Wrightsville Headlight;
Editor Headlight: The time has come
when we need good men in office. There
are only two parties. the Democratic
and Republican. While there has been
a Third party and Prohibition party
they were not the Democratic party.
don't think there ever was a time
that we stand more in need of old
Georgia standing for the Democratic
party, believing it is right.
We believe in sound men to fill the
place of Governor and State House
officers and representatives for the
Legislature. We need men who are
not for sale: men who are sound and
honest from center to circumference;
true to the heart core. Men who will
condemn wrong in friends or foe: men
whose conscience is as steady as the
needle to the pole; men who can and
will tell the truth, and look the devil
square in the face; men who can have
courage without whistling for it. joy,
without shouting to bring it; men in
whom the current of everlasting life
runs still deep and strong; men careful
of Gods honor and Indifferent to mems
applause; men who know their duty
and dare to do it; men who will not
lie, who are not too lazy to work, nor
too proud to be poor; men who are
strong with Divine strength. with the
wisdom that cometh from above.
We believe that Col. j. H. Estill is
the proper man for the high place of
Governor. He has ever stood true
to his party, He is no "ringster" or

man, and man for the people and
their rights. Besides, Col. Estill IS
one of Georgias old vets: and made
a good soldier. He is cognizant Of
the needs of the poor, and would con-
tend for their rights the same as for
the rich. Col. Estill is a Democrat,
and you know what 1t means to give
every man his rights and freedom. This
is what we believe Col Estill will do.
We wish all the old vets will rally to
the polls for Estill and all the Demo-
cratic party. vet"
Jackson Argus; Col. Estill is certain
ly making a clean race. Might have
known that, when you saw Dick Grub
so enthusiastically for him.
Telfar Enterprise; South Georgia
has a fine opportunity of electing the
next Governor; will she avail herself Of
the opportunity by supporting the
South Georgia candidate, Col. Estill?
He would make a fine Governor in our
estimation.
The Valdosta Times observes: Both
Estill and Terrell are conducting high
toned campaigns, free from vitupera-
ton or mud singing, and both deserve
we'll at the hands of the people. Their
clean campaign methods are calculated
