COL. EsTILL in GAINESVILLE.

The Georgia Cracker: Col. J. II.
Estill of Savannah, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
of Georgia, was in the city last Tues
day and Wednesday, having come pur-
Dosely from his home, in the City by
the Sea, to spend a day or two meet
ing with the people of Gainesville and
Hall county. He arrived on the morn
ing train Tuesday and was escorted
to the Arlington Hotel, where he
stopped while in the city. Col. Estill
was presented to large number of
people, many of whom were here from
all parts of the county, and some
from jackson, Banks, Lumpkin, Daw-
son, White and other surrounding
counties. He met with very fiat
tering reception, and received many
assurances of support from our citi-
zens. We do not believe any candi-
date for public Office was ever more
cordially received and given more vol
untary pledges of support upon his
first visit to Gainesville than was Col.
Estill. He expressed himself as very
much gratified with his visit and was
grateful at the pleasing manner In
which his candidacy was received.
His visit was without ostentatious dis
play or great hurrah, but was a
quiet social intercourse with the citi-
Zens of every class. Those with whom
he came in contact, and they were
many, were greatly impressed with
his frank, outspoken, honest manner,
and 1t is safe to say that he has as
many friends in Hall coun-
~ as any other candidate,
and, perhaps, good many
more. Col. Estill is no stranger to
many of our people. He has been in
public life for many years, and during
the hardest fights the Democratic
party ever had in this state, he was
chairman of the Democratic State
Executive Committee. and gave his
best time and talents to It's success.
He has been q member of the National
Democratic Executive Committee, and
all of his life has been an organized
Democrat and has stood, and to-day
stands, high In the councils OF his
party. Col. Estill is a self-made man,
having come up from the ranks. He
is now editor of the Savannah Morn
ing News, one of the best and most
reliable papers In the South. He is
also interested in various institutions
at Savannah, and is prominent I'm af-
fairs of city and state.
