One finds the rose and one the rod:

The basis of all iron and steel

Pennsylvania carries the largest

generation. Nature, however, was
lavish in providing reserves. The de-
yelopments of the past ten years
among the vast bituminous coal re-
gions of West Virginia, southwestern
Virginia, southeastern Kentucky, and
| eastern Tennessee, have revealed de-
posits OF high-grade coking coal that
would seem to be ample to supply the
blast furnaces OF the world for Gen.
turtles to come. 1t is only a question
OF building railroads. opening mines.
and constructing coke ovens
Not all good bituminjous coal will
make coke. Indeed. in all the great
coal fields of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois.
Missouri, and important coal sections
OF Tennessee and Kentucky, there has
not been found an acre of coking coal.

sources of fuel supply for iron and
steel in the United States. 1t is true
that anthracite coal is still used in

in matters touching the campaign for
Governor 1 desire to be heard in be-
half of one of the candidates. Mr.
Terrell and Mr.. Query each say the
other is unfit to be Governor of this
great state, and their friends say they
are to everybody and everything-an
thing to be Governor. The public are
weighing the records and charges and
epithets these two candidates have in
dulged in. The result will be a per
feet landslide for that distinguished
gentleman from Chatham county, the
Hon. j. H. Estill, the South Georgia
candidate, the wiregrass candidate, 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
character. And l note it is the policy
of some people and some papers to at
tempt to ignore him, which, of course
is done for effect. l declare to you
and your readers, l believe him one Oh

SUGAR MILL FOR vALDosTA.
One May BE Established Before Next
Cane Crop Is Ripe.

Valdosta, Ga, May 9.-There is a
strong probability that Valdosta will
have a sugar refinery and before the
next cane crop is marketed. Capt
Purse and Maj. Glessner were here this
week talking the matter over with
some of the business men, and much
interest has been aroused on the sub
ject. Messrs. in. Griffin and ]. A.
Dasher, Jr., accompanied by Maj.
Glessner, will go to New Orleans next
week for the purpose of looking into
the matter of sugar and syrup maxi
ing. and to examine machinery which
would be fitted for such a plant as is
needed here. If the machinery comes
up to the recommendations, and if the
two gentlemen find that the sugar
refinery can be made a success here a
company will be organized at once to
put up the plant. 1t is expected that
about $4,000 would be needed to put
up an enterprise such as Messrs.
Purse and Glessner described on their
visit here.

Entire District VIII Name Senator
and Not One County Only.
Columbus, Ca, May 9.-The Dem
ocratic executive committee of the
twenty-fourth senatorial district met
here to-day and refused the request
of A Horton of the Marion county
executive committee that the action of
the senatorial committee in calling a
district primary be rescinded. Com
munications were read from Marion
county Democrats on both sides of the
question, some asking that Marion
county be permitted to nominate her
senatorial candidate by a county prim-
airy, as in the past, without the assis-
lance of the other counties
of the district, and others
requesting the committee not to re-
scnd their action ordering a general
district primary. The chairman OF
the Executive Committee of Marion,
Muscogee and Chattahoochee counties
were present and advised the Sena-
.torial Committee to go ahead and hold
a district primary as first ordered.
The committee adopted resolutions
confirming its original action and de-
claring it the sense of the committee
that the rotation system shall at all
times be preserved and kept inviolate.

Col. Estin Not Inconsistent.

Dublin Courier Dispatch: A writer
in the Valdosta Times, who signs
himself South Georgia Democrat"
endeavors to stem the tide in favor
of Hon. j. H. Estill as South Georgia's
candidate for Governor by quoting
from the Dublin Courier Dispatch to
the effect that Col. Estill aided the
candidacy of Gov. Gambler four years
ago.
The correspondent goes on to say
that four years ago Hon. Spencer At
kinson, whom he characterzes as a
South Georgian and citizen of
Brunswick, was a candidate for Gov
ernor and that Col. Estill did not think
so much of the South Georgia idea then
as to give him the benefit of his vote
and influence.
South Georgia, Democrat" is. of
course, trying to prove that Col Estill
was inconsistent, but he will fail in
the attempt. At the time Judge At
kinson made the race for Governor,
he was not a citizen of South Georgia
and had not been for several years.
He was living in Marietta at the time,
where he still resides. IT'S true that
as soon as he became a candidate for
Governor he began claiming his former
home in Brunswick as the place of
residence. This was, however, only
ruse, and the people understood it.
The papers of the state, if we mistake
not, commented on the fact that he
had seen fit, for the purpose of MAX
ing the race, to transfer his place of
residence to Brunswick from North
Georgia.
If South Georgia Democrat" wants
to prove Col. Estil inconsistent he will
have to hunt up another charge. Col.
Estill did not support a North Georgia
candidate four years ago over a can
didate from South Georgia, for the
very good reason that no man living
in South Georgia was a candidate at
that time.

Hawkinsville Dispatch and News:
of the newspapers and the reports of
According to the editorial utterances
their correspondents, Col. j. H. Estill
is steadily and rapidly gaining
ground in the race for governor, and
now some assert that his chances are
as good if not better than either of
the other candidates. He seems to be
a man against whom no fault can be
found. No one disputes his ability
nor questions his honesty or integrity.
and if true merit is to count for any
thing in this campaign the peo-
pie will not fail to give his
candidacy due consideration be-
fore making up their minds
as to who should be our next COVER
nor, for no man has done more to-
wards advancing the states interests
and developing her resources than Col
Estill, while Democracy has always
found in him true and able defend
err. All who have been reading the
savannah Morning News for the past
forty odd years will readily admit
these statements to be true. Further
has not had the honor of furnishing
the governor during a period extend
ing over half a century, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it has just as good
and capable men as can be found in
any other part of the state. For these
and other reasons that might be men
toned, we have decided to cast our
vote for the Savannah candidate, be-
heving that if elected he would give
the state a wise, safe, economical and
businesslike administration.
For the benefit of those of our read
ers who did not have the opportunity
to see and talk with Col Estill DUR
ing his recent short visit to this coun
