campaign manager, we are informed,
has lowered the claim of counties from
120 to 100.
Quitman Free Press: Thanks to the
saw mill business in South Georgia,
there will be stumps enough for every
gubernatorial candidate in the state
Come on, gentlemen.
Covington Star: There seems to be
no doubt but that Col. Estill is fast
crystalizing South Georgia into his
support for Governor. And North
| Georgia is also falling into line. Get
on the Estill band wagon.
Oglethorpe Echo: Col. Smith is
surely keeping the political guessers
at work by his delay in announcing
! his candidacy for Governor. He will
put a stop TO it in due season.
Sparta Ishmaelite: The Ishmaelite
has something of a personal expert
ence in this matter of the evils of joint
discussions, and in the light of that
experience it wants no more of them.
| While it can truhfully say that it en-
tertains no feeling whatever of the
enmity or estrangement to any man,
/
1t will never cease to regret the loss
it has suffered in priced friendships as
the result of such occasions of strife.
Let us have no more of them. Being
one people, of a common heritage and
a common interest, let us resolve to
walk in only those ways which tend
towards peace and good fellowship.-It
will be better for us and for the state,
whose honor and interests are dear to
us all.

! yer in Georgia is for Mr.. Terrell. They
/ cannot blame us then if we lean over
little toward Mr.. Estill.
| Bryan Enterprise: Col Guerry says
! Col. Terrell has stolen his platform
from him. but it is our opinion they
will find that private Estill had little
| board himself.

] so Joe Terrell is coming to South Geor-
| gia. Well, Joe has some supporters in
1.-THE wiregrass.
Oglethorpe Echo: Consolation is be-
| ing found in the fact that a poor Gov
! ernor cannot be chosen from the lot.
/ Bryan Enterprise: From indications
now it looks that Estill's stock is on
| the gain.
! Douglas Breeze: The race for Cover
nor is between Mr.. Estill and Mr.. Ter
rell. Both are good men, and the people
will be well served by either.
The Georgia Cracker: 'Cordin to Mr.
| Terrell, nobody has any chance in the
I gubernatorial race but himself He
/ says politicians have promised him 100
: of the 1877 counties. We believe that Mr.
! Terrell errs in not even giving the
! people a chance. for they would likely
tell another story, politicians or no pol
| iticians.
Alpharetta Free Press: Estill is the
v best business man in the race for Gov
| ernor, and he has the Governor look.

vote for Col. ]. II. Estill.

been putting in some winning licks

Warner Hill and get one hundred and
twenty counties to start with
Valdosta Times Col Estills reply
to the ter-Denominational Temper
ance Committee was straight forward
honest and manly. There was no
hedging or trimming about it, and It
is quite evident that he did not have
to submit his reply to a campaign
committee to see whether they were
| his sentiments or not.
