border states Of the south as in the far
western states. and considering the near
ness to the consumer a larger percentage
of profit could be reaped by the southern
beef raiser than by his western competi-
tor"
Strong as is this language Of our Phil
adelphia contemporary, it has understat-
ed the case.
The area in the south where cattle
raising can be made profitable extends be-
yond the limits of the states named by
The Press.
Georgia has lands climate and grasses
that mark her as a great place for cattle
raising Few states are so well watered
as Georgia. In its vast exbanse it af-
fords climate that is finely suited to cattle
Of almost every variety that is bred in
the United States.
No better grazing can be found than the
Bermuda grass raised in Georgia. Cattle
take to IL either where growing or where
cured as they do TO hardly any other
grass that can be found. 1t has unex-
celled qualities for making excellent beef.
Georgia is designed by nature to be a
great cattle-raising region, and her cit
liens who will take advantage of the UNI
surpassed natural advantages for this
business that nature has laid at their
feet will profit by their enterprise.

CATTLE AND THE SOUTH.

The Journal has recently called atten-
ton to the probability that the recent
high price Of beef an the. certainty that
under existing conditions the cattle trust
will be able to put up the price as arbi-
trarily as It has recently raised it. will
cause the south to engage in the business
Of cattle raising on a large scale.
There is convincing evidence. based on
actual experience. that this industry could
be made to prosper in the south.
The opportunities of this section on this
line are recognized by many outside OBJ
servers who are surprised that our people
do not taAe advantage Of them.
The Philadelphia Press. for example,
says:
'-The south is not suffering so much
from the present high price of beef as the
north. % the people of the former sec
ton the consumption Of meat is not so
pressing a necessity as it is to the people
or the latter section. Life in the south is
less strenuous. more simple and absorbs
less energy than life in the north. a
larger percentage Of the people also liye
in the country and depend upon the pro-
ducts Of their own farms for sustenance.
A scarcity Of heef Is. consequently, not as
great a deprivation as It is I'm a communi-
~ where the daily habits of the people
make its use a necessity.
Nevertheless the south has deprived it.

ing to introduce the breeding OF cattle
There are thousands Of acres in Virginia

capable Of sustaining herds Of cattle and
fattening them cheaply FOR market. The
grasses may not be so abundant and nutri-
tious as they are on the western prairies
and tho ranges are not so wide But on
the DINER hand. the winters are much less
severe and the loss from storms and bliz-
yards would be comparatively small. Bal
ancing the conditions il is PROBABLE that
there are nearly as many advantages in
raising cattle for the market in the old

ON the ground and Joe on a high plane.
Warner Hill didn't say so, but Joe did.
He said that If any of HIS friends wanted
to visit him within the next four years,
to call at the gubernatorial mansion in
Atlanta; he would be there, and, really,
am in favor of Dupont making Joe MS
private secretary. Joe would make a good
one, and II wouldn't take him more than
Guerrys four years to learn how to make
a good governor when Guerry's time Is
out
Somebody told me than Candidate Ter
rel said in one of his speeches (you might
call them speeches as a matter Of conven-
ience) that Candidate Guerry was de-
nouncing lobbyists and 'lobbyism in the
legislature of Georgia, and Candidate
Terrell is supposed to have settled the
question forever that there were no lob
byists in the Georgia legislature. He is
reported to have said that as soon as he
learned of that charge made by Query he
went right to Governor Gambler to settle
the question, and he says: Governor Can
der were there any lobbyists In or
around the legislature since you have been
governor?" And Governor Gambler is re-
ported to have said: "No, there has not
been" And Candidate Terrell is reported
"a have said: Governor, if there had been
you would have seen them. wouldn't you?'
The governor replied: Yes, 1 would =
Then Terrell is reported to have said:
And you didn't see any?" NO" said the
governor. II didn't" Now. Candidate
Terrell is reported to have said: Gentle
men 1 have proved clearly that that's
false charge on the part Of Candidate

been any lobbyists there he would have

Seab Wright was born idiot rising IN
the legislature few months ago and all
but calling out the militia Of the state to
come with arms and ammunition to clear
the Hobbies Of our capitol and save the
legislature from the most disgraceful
lobbyism that was ever perpetrated upon
a grand old state. Seab with his two eyes
saw something. and he barked like he
smelled something. too. Surely there was
game around in that neck of the woods.
Now I am just telling you what 1 heard.
If it is a fact and 1 had been there, l
would have laughed my poor self to death
and may be had to have been put in
sack and brought home.

went away from there willing to die
rather than to submit to the disgraceful
proposition that there were lobbyists in
the Georgia legislature after Candidate
Terrell got through.

I could not get my consent to vote for
man who made my interest the object Of
ferocious attack. That is the reason and
the only reason that these gentlemen may
support Terrell, it, indeed, they concert
eddy support anybody for governor. Mr..
Terrell is not a railroad attorney, and has
never been. Mr.. Query has been, and
since the disassociation with the Georgia
Southern and Florida railway, as an at
torney, he goes into hysteria as a candi-
date.
The same is true of the liquor question.
Mr.. Guerry is an extreme prohibitionist,
who seems willing TO endanger by agita-
ton III dry counties in Georgia, in order
to run whisky out of such police regulated
towns as Atlanta Savannah, Macon, Au-
gl,sta. Columbus, Valdosta and Albany.

can't yet tell what this scrapping and
fussing on the part Of the general mana
gers will do. 1t may elect Guerry gov
ernor, perchance 1t might put Joe in. but
Candidate EstiI amt going to fuss or
fight he viii just shake hands, and he Is
is going to get so in the habit Of shaking
hands in the next few weeks that he will
just turn over everything to the local op-
tionists and Just shake hands from a mere
force Of habit, and really he won't be
blamed If he does. Habit is one Of the
most powerful things that mortal man
ever contended with. I have had habits
may have some yet. It is well enough
to cultivate a good habit like Candidate
Estill IS cultivating; 1t is a sign of friend
ship, II is an emblem Of brotheriy love, 1t
is an expression of a desire for office, 1t
is proof Of undying friendship.
I like all three of the candidates, but I
like the candidate best who is for some
thing and never disrecollects.
1 am weaker and frazier, physically,
than 1 ever was in my life. There are
some days can scarcely walk, but can
sit down quietly with my stenographer
and dictate letters. If you don't believe
it you read this one, and / wish some fell
low who differs with me on candidates
I am not itching for a fight with Brother
Warner Hill, but rather than have no
scrap at all I viii scrap with the general
manager of the man who Is conducting
a campaign on such high plane.
A fellow wrote me today from Milien,
Ga, that Candidate Terrell told him to
name a man who was ever elected that
Sam Jones was for. He sorter stumped
the fellow at Millen, but he didn't stump
my wife's husband. Who was more for
Allen D. Gambler, and who championed
his cause more earnestly than Sam Jones
dia? Who has within the last few
months championed Steve Clay for the
United States senate to succeed himself,
and today Steve has no opposition? Who
ever championed a man more diligently
and earnestly than 1 did Grover Cleve-
land and who ever exposed and ridiculed
the candidacy and vagaries Of William
Jennings Bryan more than did, was
a champion of Gordon, Of Colquitt.
was a champion Of Hines. and believe
Hines was elected governor Of this state.
Il was champion of Seab Wright and the
angels know until this day whether Seab
was elected or not. These few brief re-
marks in conclusion are for the informa-
ton Of my Millen friend.
am yours, sick and afflicted,

Tenth: Ny solution Of the financial
problem in Georgia is simply the follow
ing: Let us first require our great rail-
road companies and others, who are not
now paying their share of the taxes, to
do so, just like other corporations and
oJner people who are paying their share
of the taxes. In my judgment this would
produce sufficient income, not only to pay.
our expenses and debts and to support
our public institutions and public causes.
including especially those Of Confederate
pensions and public schools, but would
enable us to reduce the percentum OF
taxation upon honest tax payers.
What is your solution?
Eleventh: am in favor of the construc-
ton of safer and more commodious rail-
road passenger station in the city Of At
lanta. but not at the expense of the peo-
pie of Georgia at this time or under exist
ing financial conditions. In my judgment.
if our railroad commission would require
the railroad companies to construct pas
senger stations in this city. such require
meht would result in the construction of a
station on the states property, namely:
the site. If said site is not sufficient in its
dimensions, I do not see any controlling
reason why as large a station should not
be built there as possible, for the accom-
mediation of as many companies as posi-
BILE and have another station elsewhere, II
necessary, rather than to have the prop
erty of the state abandoned and sacrificed.
OF course if the railroad companies ac-
cept the terms Of the recent act for the
construction of a union depot on the
states property, I would, as governor,
carry out in letter and spirit, the provis-
ions of that act.
