He has Recently Traveled Through
All of the Atlantic Coast and Flor-
ida Line Counties and he Express
es Himself as Being Surprised at
What he Saw—Good Roads and
Prosperous Rural Communities.
Col. Estill, the south Georgia can*
didape for the nomination for Gov
ernor, returned from a week’s cam
paigning early Sunday morning. He
will be at home for a few days to
arrange for the annual meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce and the
106th anniversary of the Bethesda
Orphan House.
Col. Estill is enthusiastic over
south Georgia and talked interesting
ly of his recent visits to thirty odd
counties.
Hard Roads to Travel.
“The road to the governorship,”
he said, “like the old song has It, is
a ’hard road to travel,’ but like the
most of things in this world, it l^as
its compensation. While referring
to the political highway that I am
traveling I might mention the pub
lic roads. The agitation of ‘gool
roads’ is having a salutary effect in
many counties. In Decatur and Ber
rien counties the work on the road-
is peculiarly noticeable, or, at least,
I noticed them, especially as I travel
ed over soma of them, in visiting
different towns off the railroads, or
where schedules didn’t suit my en
gagements. Four years have seen
many changes not* only In the towns
which show wonderful improvement,
in the number anj class of buildings
but in the farms. The forests are
rapidly disappearing before the axes
and saws of the mill men, and a few
years will see almost unbroken farms
from the Savannah river to the Flor"
ida line.
“The most encouraging Indications
of what the future nas In store for
Wiregrass Georgia Is Its hog and
hominy development. Many fanners
have barns well filled with corn and
oats, and the stores are stocked with
home cured hams and bacon. In sev"
eral towns I was told that no western
meats are bought, the local supply
being sufficient to meet all demands-
Fifty to 8lxt3'-flve bushels of corn pe r
acre is not unusual on farms. Fruit
culture is also receiving attention
and considerable ls( being done in
preserving and canning industries.
Cleared lands sell for flO to $20 an
acre, and the purchaser, If he is an
up-to-date farmer, can pay for what
he buys with the first crop of cotton*
There is no such general prosperity
to be found In the world as that
which exists among the people of
Wiregrass Georgia.
Prosperous Wiregrass Georgia.
“What southern Georgia can do is
nothing new* to those who know its
history. Away back in the first half
of the decade of 1860-70, when its de
velopment was In it's infancy, it was
called the grainary of the confeder
acy, and it was its products which
kept Lee’s army In the field. It is
mostly the men of the 60 s ani their
sons and grandsons who make up the
citizency of the Wiregrass, they are
generally from Georgia, though there
are many representatives from other
southern states and a fair scattering
of energetic northern and western
men. It is surely the scriptural land
of “milk and honey.”
“The cities and towns of the Wire-
grass reflect the prosperity of the
farmers and mill and turpentine, and
other industries. The public build
ings are.as a rule hanlsome and sub*
stantlal, and residences neat and
comfortable. The stores are filled
with large assortments of goods of
every kind that are required for the
farm or the family. It Ls not unusual
to find the business or professional
man a graduate from a house or of
fice in Savannah.
“Every place, nearly, has water
works and electric lights, and in
some instances the town government
supplies them free to all people.
They are successful illustrations of
'municipal ownership.’ One place
that I visited had no tax gatherer, all
the town expenses being defrayed by
the profits of the local dispensary..

The official program for April
study has been isued by the rPogram
committee for the use of chapters
In the Georgia division. It is as fol
lows:
War prisons, Andersonville, Capt.
Wlrz.
First. Wjhat Jo you know of the
Andersonville prison?
Second. Who was Capt Henry Wirz
and why do we desire to erect a mon
ument to his memory?
Third. What is the comparative
death rate in federal and Confederate
prisons?
Fourth. When we remember that
Secretary Stanton, in his report of
July 19, 1866, made the statement,
Confederates in northern prisons, 22,-
union soldiers in southern pris
ons, 270,000; does it not prove (as the
death rate was less in southern tha n
in narthern) the falsity of the report
that the south was more cruel than
the north?
Fifth. If the south was at all times
anxious to exchange prisoners, man
for man, and thought it cheaper to
fight than to feed the enemy, why
and what did Gen. Grant say in re
fusal?
Sixth. When it was proposed by
the authorities at Richmond to per
mit the federals to carry and admin*
ister their own medicines, not ask
ing a similar right to Confederates
was the proposition accepted?
