DIRTY POLITIC8.
Some mighty dirty politics Is crop
ping out in the present gubernatorial
campaign In Georgia. We refer es
pecially to a slander on Col. J. H. Ea-
till’s war record which Is being secret
ly distributed throughout the state.
This attack was made on Col. Estlll
when he was a candidate for governor
four years ago, In a circular letter is
sued by a Savannah man who was
known to have a personal grievance.
The charge was met, however, and it
was supposed by all fair-minded peo
ple that the slander had been silenced.
Not so, however. "Open Letter No. 2”
has been issued, and copies of It are
being mailed from Atlanta. The
Statesboro News says of It:
It was “mailed In Atlanta.” The
latest campaign lie has reached the
surface.
The News Is In receipt of what Is
called “Open Letter No. 2,” signed by
an individual balling from the peaceful
glades of Chatham and marked "per
sonal” by its alleged author.
The open letter referred to seeks to
revive a lot of campaign rot that was
proVen a lie four years ago, during
Colonel Estlll’s first race for tho gov
ernorship. While the letter purports
to be from a Savannah man, yet It
bears an "Atlanta postmark.” This Is
where the cloven hoof stlckB out par
ticularly plain: From a Savannah man
but “mailed In Atlanta."
"Open Letter No. 2,” though daddled
In Savannah, first saw the light of an
Illegitimate and Ignoble existence
"further up tho state." It was financed
and "mailed out from Atlanta." Neith
er the purse that pays the bills nor the
hand that supports the blow findB
lodgment In South Georgia, but
reaches “out from Atlanta." It was
there that It was hatched from politi
cal headquarters to bo seat out
through the state, crawl on Its belly
like a serpent down through the old
red bills Into the wire-grass section,
sticking Its poisonous fangs wherever
It can that Its purpose at home may be
served and tho “divine call,” which
emanated In fact from a back room in
the capital city, might not miscarry In
Its mission.
The Herald has seen several copies
of tills "Open Letter No, 2,” but has
no positive Information as to hpw or
from where they were distributed.
But It matters not whence this at
tack upon Col. Estlll’s war. record
comes, Lafayette MeLaws Camp No.
595, U. C. V., Savannah, has takon
notice of It nnd answered tho slander
In a way that must satisfy nil fair-
minded people, whother they know
Colonel Estlll or not. Wo are In re
ceipt of a circular letter, mailed In
Savannah, not Atlanta, on one page of
which the following official"document
Is printed:
The following resolutions wore
adopted by Lafayette MeLaws Camp,
No. 596, (U. C. V.', Savannah, Oa.), at
tho regular meeting, Tuesday evening,
May 16thJ 1900, First Lieut. Cpminand-
er W. N. Arnold, commanding:
Whereas, It. has come to our knowl
edge that an outrageous attack has
been made upon our honored Com
mander, Col. J. H, Estlll, who was the
first Commander of this Camp, and Is
now holding that hgnorable position
for the third time, by the unanimous
vote of Its members; and
Whereas, Those vicious attacks are
still being blade and circulated; ami
W.hereas, His service In tile cause of
tho Confederacy, In which be was seri
ously wounded, ami honorably dis
charged, Is known personally to tile
members of this Camp, ami he Is
known lo have been a brave soldier;
Therefore, We, the Officers and
Members of Lafayette MeLaws Camp,
No. 59(1, United Confederate Vole runs,
do hereby resolve: That wo denounce
those malicious charges ns without,
foundation, ami that we take Gils
means of nol only defending our hon
ored Commander, but also the integ
rity of Laffiyette MoLaws Camp.
Resolved further, That knowing that
these attacks are belng’mndo arid used,
particularly at Ibis period, Tor the pur
pose of venting vicious personal spleen
and spite, and -to Injure Colonel Estlll
In the good opinion of his fellow citi
zens, ' ami especially ex-Confederate
soldiers, we hereby call upon all who
may hear of such reports, to deny
them on the authority of this Camp.
Amendment — Offered at Special
Meeting, evening of May 5th, 1906, and
referred to Coiiimlttee:
"Col. Estlll, after doing service
with bis Company at Fort Pulaski,
early 111 the year 1861, wont with Ills
command to Virginia, was wounded at
the first battle of Manassas, sent to
hospital', then home on furlough, re
turned lo his command, nnd honorably
discharged at Richmond, by recom
mendation of Ills regimental surgeons.
Ho then returned to civil duties In
Savannah, and at Sherman's approach
was hoqrdlng with Mrs. Foster, the
mother of Mr. James Foster, who was
a true Confederate, and Col. Estlll,
with other citizens, volunteered to go
on line of defense, and when the city
was evacuated by Confederate military
forces, he remained in Savannah be
cause he was a citizen and unable to
render further military service In the
field.” .
Resolution offered at Special Meet
ing, and referred to Committee con
sisting of A. J. Pursley, A, K. Wilson
and H. G. Ward.
Committee reported favorably at
regular meeting, and resolution was
passed unanimously, as amended, May
15th, 1906.
A. K. WILSON,
Adjutant and Secretary Lafayette Mc-
Laws Camp, 596, U. C. V.
The Herald, as Its readers know, has
not been a champion of Colonel Estlll
in his candidacy for governor, although
he and the editor of this paper have
been personal friends for thirty-flvo
years past, but an inherent love of
fair play and a destestatlou for cow
ardly, groveling Blander, especially
upon a battle-scarred Confederate vet
eran, Impel us to open our columns to
the foregoing complete refutation.
It seems to be pretty well under
stood now that Arizona and New Mexi
co will be permitted to vote separate
ly on the merger proposition. The
proposal to consolidate two Territories
without their consent was without
precedent or excuse. It was a political
crime, and there hae never been any
explanation of it except the one given
by Chairman Payne, of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House, that
it would provide for two Democratic
Senators Instead of four. If that were
the only motive Senator Beveridge and
others had for trying to force this
scheme through Congress it Is the
greatest political crime In proportion
to the amount of motive that can he
found in our political history.' The
opposition In the Senate Is believed
to have compelled its abandonment.
