Atlanta Journal: The opening of
your columns in the joint debate does
not say it is close to the women of the
state. While We are inhibited by The

yet ready for the bestowal of the right
to vote; but those who are property
owners certainly are interested in the
election of competent men to fill the
offices and execute the laws of the
state While having no voice in the
government, they surely share in it's
burdens. The very excellent and strong
letter of Mr.. j. r. Saussy of Savan-
nah, in your Tuesday issue in advo-
cacy of Mr.. ]. H. Estill as our next
Governor, is the strongest appeal to
the reasoning powers of the voters. The
perpleXities that have environed our
present excellent executive has had
its reflex on one of that fraternity de-
pendent in no small degree upon the
successful management of the finances
of the state. The teachers have for
more than one year been embarrassed
by defective administration and suf-

that the Empire State of the South
needs a strong business executive The
condition of the state treasury shows
plainly the need of a wise head to
manage the machinery OF state. The
arguments adduced by Mr.. Saussy
show that Mr.. Estill largely enjoys

Covington Star: A vote for Col Es-
| till for Governor in the primary. on
the 5th of June. is a vote for pure,
clean methods in rolitics, and for good
and honest government.
Waynesboro News: Mr. j. NJ. Minar.
who travels over a good portion of
South Georgia, states that Col EstiIl
will probably carry all of the coun-
ties south of Laurens. Mr.. Minar is a
supporter of Mr.. Query, therefore his
conclusions are not biased.
Hawknsville Dispatch: we'll
known farmer said the other day that
he saw signs of a regular landslide for
Estill in Pulaski. and all that was
needed for it to materialize was a little
more time.
The Ocilla Dispatch says: Private
John H. Estill is marching on to
Peachtree street.
Townsville Times: Every taxpayer
in the state is interested in electing a
first-class business man for Governor.
], H. Estill fills that bill in an eminent
| degree.
The Cuthbert Leader thinks it would
be quite amusing if Estill were to walk
off with the nomination while -Terrill
and Guerry were scrapping.
