JUDGE ESTES.
To Judge John B. Estes we pre
serit, on behalf of his neighbors and
the people, assurances of highest
esteem for him personally and con
gratulations upon his elevation again
to the exalted position which he has
already filled with distinguished abil
ity. He is a man in whom the peo
ple recognize the qualities of a
learned jurist, a Christian gentleman,
a progressive citizen, and a kindly
and generous neighbor.
Judge Estes’s term on the bench
which began in 1882 was noted for
its dispensation of even-handed jus
tice, for its impartiality, its admira
ble dignity, and its rapid dispatch of
business. It is always a source of
congratulation when such men be
come the embodiment of the law—
the instrument through whom blind
justice weighs the contentions of
right between man and man, between
the commonwealth and the citizen.
It is a position whose importance
cannot be overestimated in its bear
ing upon the public welfare.
Judge Estes was born in Ander
son county, S. C., in 1835. In 1844,
when be was nine years old, his
father moved to Franklin county,
(4a., and located on the portion
which was afterward cut off and is
now Hart county. He was educated
in the common schools, one of his
tutors being Morgan 11. Looney, a
brother of Geo. C. Looney, who was
principal of Gainesville College in
1874. He entered Franklin College
at Athens, now the State University,
but on account of the poverty of his
father was forced to withdraw after
a few months.
He studied law at home of nights
and recited his lessons to Daniel G.
Candler, father of Governor Allen
D. Candler. Was admitted to the
bar in 1856 at Carnesville and began
practice, and was married during
same year. ‘
In 1859 Mr. Estes moved to
Jonesboro and taught school with
Allen D. Candler until the war
broke out. At the beginning of 1862
he entered the army as captain of
the “Estes Guards.” At Griffin,
where the regiment was organized,
he was elected lieutenant-colonel. At
the battle of Mechanicsville, in Jane,
1862, the colonel of the regiment
was killed, and Lieutenant-colonel
Estes was promoted to the place.
At the close of the war he returned
to Jonesboro, but finding that all his
property had been destroyed by
Sherman’s army, he went back to
Franklin county to live. In 1866 he
was elected County Judge, which
position he held until the office was
abolished.
In 1871 he moved to Gainesville,
which has since been his home. He
was elected to the legislature in 1880.
In 1882 he was elected judge of the
Northeastern circuit and served one
term.
On the Ist of January, 1899, he
will enter upon the duties of his of
fice. He will enter upon his work
profoundly impressed with the ex
acting demands which it will make
upon both his brain and his con
science, and with a determination to
do right, though the heavens fall.
JUDGE” KIM?EY.
Judge John J. Kimsey retires
from the judgeship of the North
eastern circuit carrying with him the
confidence and esteem of the people.
He has done his daty well. His de
cisions have been marked with ability
and fairness. He won applause from
the beginning of his administration
by the vigor and promptness with
which he dispatched the business o!
lhe courts, thereby saving many hun
dreds of dollars to the people.
Judge Kimsex is a judge- whom
the righteous love and the un
righteous fear; a man of splendid
physical and intellectual vigor, and
with a mind well trained and
equipped. He would fill with honor
and credit any position in which his
people could place him.
GO TO THE POLLS TUESDAY.
Don’t forget that next Tuesday is
election day for Congressman. It is
true Candler carried the district by a
large majority, but that won’t do to
depend on. We understand the
Populists are passing the word
around and indulging in a still hunt,
hoping that the Democrats will sleep
in conscious security and stay at
home, thereby giving their opponents
a good chance to win. And they
will win most assuredly if 100 many
Democrats ignore the election.
Apathy is the most dangerous po
litical factor in existence. Where
enthusiasm has slain its thousands,
apathy has slain its tens of thou
sands.
Let us impress you with the im
portance of going to the polls and
voting next Tuesday.
ALLEN CANDLER.
NOW GOVERNOR CANDLER OF
THE GREAT STATE OF
GEORGIA.
Inaugurated Last Saturday With Old
fashioned Democratic Simplicty.
vol
Allen D. Candler was inaugurated gov
ernor of Georgia in the ball of the house
of representatives last Saturday after
noon.
While the ceremonies were simple and
unostentatious, they were highly impres
sive and were observed with the deepest
interest by the members of the general
assembly and a great many visitors on
the floor and in the gallery.
There were a number of distinguished
visitors on the floor of the house. Seat"
ed to the right of the speaker’s stand sat
Mrs. Candler, the wife of the governor,
and her children, including the married
daughter, Mrs. Frank Bunkley, and her
husband.
The other relatives present included
the two sisters of Governor Candler, Mrs.
M. E. Fields and Miss Sallie Candler, the
sister of Mrs. Candler, Mrs. Willis Price,
the governor’s cousin, Mrs. Florence
Ilarris, and another cousin, Miss Jessie
Candler.
BishoD Warren A. Candler was also
among the prominent visitors. He sat
directly in front of the speaker’s stand
and was an interested observer of the
exercises.
General Longstreet and wife, Judge
Emory Speer and wife, Hon. Fleming
Dußignon, General C. A. Evans, General
J. Mclntosh Kell and a number of other
distinguished Georgians were on the
floor.
Governor Atkinson and Governor-elect
Candler entered the hall arm in arm at
12 o’clock, followed by the justices of
the supreme court and the state house
officials.
The Speaker of the Senate officially de
clared the election of the new governor
and introduced him to the audience. The
governor-elect arose and was accorded a
grand ovation. When quiet ensued he
said:
Mr. President, Gentlemen of the Senate
and House of Representatives:
Having received your official notice ol
my election by the people to the chiei
magistracy of the state, I appear before
you for the purpose of taking the oath
of office prescribed by the constitution.
Before taking this oath, however, and
entering upon the discharge of the du
ties of the office to which I have been
elected, a custom, as old as the state,
requires that I briefly outline the policy
which will mark my administration;
and in this connection peri, it me to say
that I have seen no reason why I should
depart from the line foreshadowed in
my letter consenting to become a candi
date for governor. Those matters which
then seemed to me to claim our artten
tion, still, in my judgment, demand our
most serious consideration. In all mat
ters, state and federal, we should be
careful how we depart from the land
marks of the fathers. One of the most
alarming tendencies of the times is to
ignore the experiences of the past and
venture on untried seas. This tendency
to cut loose from our ancient moorings
is strikingly illustrated in the prosecu
tion of the war with Spain and in deal
ing with the problems growing out of it.
For more than 100 years the policy of
the American people was one of con
servatism and caution, was to cultivate
friendly relations with all the other na
tions of the earth and avoid entangling
alliances with any. The Monroe doc
trine was accepted by all political par
ties as a cardinal tenet of true Ameri
canism. We were content to acquire
by treaty and purchase only such terri
tory as lay contiguous to us and with
only a small standing army in time of
peace to rely for the national defense on
a well organized militia. But now we
are less conservative. Not content with
the extent of our magnificent national
domain, we are reaching out, thousands
of miles, for the islands of the sea, with
their heterogeneous populations; and
there are those, in both political parties,
who would reverse the policy of more
than a century and enter upon an ex
tensive and expensive scheme of coloni
zation, as have the monarchies of Eu
rope, which will necessitate an immense
standing army and a large and costly
navy, to be supported by taxes imposed
upon the people of the states.
Deserting Old Landmarks.
I mention this neither to approve nor
condemn, for it involves questions of
national and not of state policy, but as
a striking illustration of the tendency
of the times to depart from the old
landmarks, forget the conservatism of
the fathers of the republic, and venture
on untrodden paths. It will not do for
us to wander too far into the realms of
experiment. Our safety is in conser
vatism and a rigid adherence to the pre
cedents of the past. This is especially
true of the people of the south. We
should resist all dangerous innovations.
We should cling to the constitutional
right of local self government, the sheet
anchor of our safety, and oppose, in
every legitimate way, the constantly in
creasing tendency of the agents of the
federal government to encroach upon
the reserved rights of the states. We
should rigidly adhere to the cardinal
doctrines of taxation for revenue only,
honesty and economy in the administra
tion of the government, the lowest pos
sible rate of taxation consistent with
the honor and dignity of the state and
the reouirements of she. institutions and
persons for whom she must provide;
and we must, at all times, be willing, in
the language of Mr. Jefferson, to accord
“equal_and exact justice to all and
special privileges to none.” A govern
ment, such as the fathers intended ours
to be, must rest upon an intelligent and
uncorrupted ballot. A venal vote is the
destruction of a republic, and an ig
norant vote is no less dangerous than a
venal vote. The suffrage must be based
on virtue and intelligence. The ballot
in the hands of a vicious or corrupt
man is dangerous to the liberties of the
people, and in the hands of an ignorant
man, who does not realize that it is
not an article of merchandise, to
be bartered off for a price, but
a great weapon of defense with which
to preserve his liberties, it is a constant
menace to the safety of the people.
Virtue and intelligence must rule ol
evil will befall the state. Legislation
will grow corrupt, justice will miscarry
in the courts, confidence in the govern
will be destroyed, lawlessness will run
riot in the land and lynch law will sup
plant the courts of justice. It will be
a sad day when these calamities over
take us. To see to it that they do not
befall the state is your duty and mine.
The people have delegated to you ths
power to make the laws for the next
two years, and upon me devolves the
duty of executing them. We should
approach this duty fearlessly and hon
estly. The ballot must be more closely
guarded. Our election laws should b«
revised and improved in such away as
to render effectual the voice of the vir
tue and intelligence of the state and t«
prevent a balance of power from find
ing a lodgement in the hands of an ig
norant or corrupt minority. Severs
penalties should be enacted for the pun
ishment as well of those who, directly
or indirectly, buy votes, as for those
who sell them. These penalties should
go to the extent, if necessary to correct
the evils, of depriving both the vote
buyer and the vote-seller of the right tc
vote or hold office, without regard to
party, creed, race or color. This would
be a severe remedy; but, when the
safety of society demands it, it should
be unhesitatingly applied, for it Would
deprive no honest, intelligent man oi
his right of suffrage, but would affect
only the ignorant and vicious.
Question of Taxation.
Another matter of vital importance is
the question of taxation. In times like
these, when a universal paralysis hai
settled down upon all business enter
prise and the products of the farms of
the state, upon which all our prosper
ity depends, scarcely bring in the mark
ets of the world the cost of production,
wherf the fires have gone out in our fur
naces, when the fair fields in a large
portion of our state have been blasted by
flood and storm and honest men beg in
vain for work that they may buy bread,
it behooves us to practice the most rigid
economy in every department of the
state government, establish no more in
stitutions to be supported by the state,
and see to it that not a dollar of ths
state’s revenue, no matter from what
source derived, is diverted, by legis
lative enactment or otherwise, from the
purpose to which it is now applied. The
burthen of taxation, though less in Geor
gia than in some of the other states, is
already as great as our (people ought to
be required to bear, and the rate should,
if possible, be lowered, but, under no
circumstances, should it be allowed to
go higher. All irregularities in oui
taxing system should be removed and
the bffrthen should be so adjusted as to
fall equally on all classes of property
and in all parts of the state. The lands
in no county should be valued for taxa
tion at a higher price than lands equally
productive and equally profitable in any
other county. /The burthen of taxation
should not only be lessened, if possible,
and so equalized as to bear alike on all
the citizens and on all the property of
the state, but all property which now
escapes taxation should be hunted out
and made to bear its proportionate share
of the burthens of government. To de
vise means by which the head of the
taxgatherer may reach the hidden
wealth of the dodger, who enjoys the
protection of the government, but is un
willing to share in its burthens, is a
delicate and difficult duty which now
devolves upon us, but it can be per
formed with benefit to the state and
infinite relief to all honest taxpayers,
and we should meet this, as well as the
duty of more carefully guarding the
ballot box, fearlessly and conscienti
ously, looking only to the best interests
of the commonwealth and of the people,
and regardless of the clamor of those
who, by fraudulently withholding the
tribute they owe to the state, impose
heavier burthens on their more consci
entious neighbors.
Duties Confronting Officials.
Many other duties, gentlemen of the
general assembly, looking to the wel
fare of the state and the prosperity and
happiness of the people, will claim our
attention; but those I have mentioned
seem to me to rise, at this particular
juncture, paramount to all others and
should first have our most serious con
sideration.
Having thus briefly, in accordance
with immemorial custom, referred to
some of the most important matters
that will demand immediate and care
ful consideration, I will not go further
into details; but with a profound sense
of the responsibilities I am about to as
sume and invoking your kindly co-ope
ration and support in an honest, earn
est effort to perform them with an eye
single to the glory of Georgia and the
best interests of all her people; and with
a fervent prayer to the God of nations
and of states that I may be endowed
with wisdom to govern in justice and
moderation, I will now take the oath.
His address was listened to with most
marked attention and frequently inter
rupted with applause. At the conclusion
he announced:
“I am now ready to take the oath of
office.” *
The general assembly and the audience
arose as Chief Justice Simmons prepared
to administer the oatb.
The chief justice said:
“You, Allen D. Candler, do solemnly
swear that you will faithfully execute
the duties of the office of governor of the
State of Georgia, and will, to the best of
your ability, preserve, protect and defend
the constitution thereof, and the consti
tution of the United States of America,
so help you God?”
With a profound reverence Col. Can
dler kissed the Bible in his acknowledge
ment of the oatb.
Governor Atkinson then said:
“I now present to your care and keep-
ing the great seal of the State of Geor
gia, which for four years by the people
of Georgia has been entrusted to my
keeping.” *
As the inaugural party passed out of
the house the new governor was kissed
by two ladies. The incident attracted
considerable attention, it being thought
that Governor Candler had been Hobspn
ized. The ladies, however, were Mrs.
Governor Candler and her sister, Mrs.
Willis Price of Macon.
The governor and the ex-governor
went to the governor’s office. The first
duty" performed by Governor Alien D.
Candler was that of administering the
oath of office to Hoh. Philip Cook, secre
tary of state.
The new governor then retired to the
executive rooms where an informal re
ception was held for an hour.
At night the governor-elect and Mrs.
Candler were entertained by ex-governor
and Mrs. Atkinson at the executive man
sion.
Governor Candler has made the follow
ing appointments on his personal staff:
Major J. W. Warren, secretary execu
tive department; Hon. C. M. Hitch, of
Brooks county, clerk executive depart
ment; M. A. Candler, of Hall, personal
secretary; Miss Mary Nagle, of Fulton,
stenographer.
Major Warren has been secretary of
the executive office for the past 25 years,
and his perfect knowledge of affairs
makes him next to indispensable.
The appointment of his son, Mr. M. A.
Candler, of Hall, as private secretary,
was considered by the governor for some
time before he decided on it. The view
he took of this appointment was that it
was a relation of confidential and delicate
nature, where the secretary would have
to handle all the mail addressed to the
governor, including personal as well as
official correspondence.
THE NEW JUDICIARY.
The Democratic caucus held last
Thursday night by the Georgia sen
ate and house nominated Judge J.
B. Estes for judge of this the North
eastern circuit and W. A. Charters
for solicitor-general. The Eagle
predicted on Thursday that the race
was nip and tuck between Estes
and Kimsey. This we did on the
authority of Mr. J. O. Adams, who
left the scene of action on Wednes
day night, and who seemed to have
special facilities for- gauging the sit
uation. All others who came from
Atlanta reported that Est s was
“beaten otit of sight.” And so it
would seem to a superficial observer,
for the entire circuit was for Kim
sey, except Senator Thompson of
Banks and Representative Sloan of
Hall. Right here we wish to dis
abuse any one of the idea, if any one
should have such an idea, that Judge
Estes’s lack of support in his own
circuit was because of unpopularity
or because of a recognized lack of
ability. The fact is Judge Estes is
personally one of the most popular
men in the circuit, and is recognized
by all classes as a man of profound
and pre-eminent legal attainments.
What was lhe cause? Well, well—
the same old story, in the*feading
of which you can discover the cause
of the recent revulsion of public sen
timent in Georgia in the mode of
selecting the judiciary, in which the
people declared that rather than
bear the ills they bad they would fly
to those they knew not of, even
though it be, from the fry
ing-pan to the fire, from the devil to
the deep sea.
The vote stood, Estes 106; Kim
sey 94. Fletch Johnson put up a
splendid fight for solicitor-general,
but the tide was against him and he
was defeated by W. A. Charters of
Lumpkin by a vote of 103 to 100.
Judge Hutchins of the Western
circuit was also among the slain, be
ing beaten by R. B. Russell of Win
der by a vote of 116 to 85.
THE STARS WILL FALL.
The stars will fall on the night of
Nov. 14th, just before day. Don’t
fail to see it. This phenomenon has
been traced back to the year 902,
and it has been found to occur once
in 33 years and 2 days. The last
time was Nov. 12, 1865. The time
before that was Nov. 10, 1832, which
many of our old citizens remember
as causing great consternation and
fear that the world was coming to an
end.
The falling stars which we will
see on the 14th will be the same ones
that have been passing every 33
years for perhaps millions of ages.
They are homeless orphans—have
nowhere to stop—no relatives or
friends anywhere—but like the Wan
dering Jew they are destined to
“move on” forever. However, this
mode of life seems to suit a star
about as well as any other.
Os course there will be a crowd
out on the morning of the 14th. No
charge for admission.
TOM COBB DEAD.
Thomas R. R. Cobb of Atlanta,
well known throughout the state,
died yesterday in Colorado, where
be had gone several months ago.
Consumption was the cause of his
death.
Died from Whooping Cough.
The little six-month-old infant of Mr.
and Mrs. A. R. Keesee died yesterday
morning very suddenly of an attack of
whooping-cough. The child was bright
up to the last and had nursed only a few
moments before its death. The burial
will take place today at the Waters grave
vard, near Clarks bridge.
The Best Plaster.
A piece of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bound on
to the affected parts is superior to any
plaster. tVhen troubled with a pain in
the chest or side, or v a lame back, give it
a trial. You are certain to be more than
pleased with the prompt relief which it
affords. Paia Balm is also a certain cure
for Rheumatism. For Sale by M. C.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FlfiS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
