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. Brown & Co. T. S.
