Clark Howell la talking true Democ racy up In Lee county today. They are having boiuo warm local politics In Savannah. j ft does no good to cronlc about tho woather. The Yankees go to court with every thing, including family affairs and re ligion. But that Illinois court which refused to take jurisdiction In that row between the Presbyterians tho other day was level-beaded. ■ ' ;‘v "Tho Torroy revival In Atlanta must bo cell lug (Ivarm. The Atlanta Nows reports a .sermon preachod by the evangelist on Wednesday night under the flaming caption: "Dr. Torrpy Dips His Brush In Fire and Paints Hell;" Tha meeting of representative Dem ocrats from the eighteen counties of the Second Congressional pistrlct to ■ ■formally declare the nomination of Hon. James M. Griggs for another i, term In Congress was a genuine, old- fashioned, harmonious Democratic love feast. And there was enthusiasm with out dissension. ■ Traveling Incognito and In an ordi nary railroad coach, King Alfonso went to meet his bride, and when Princess Ena's ,special train reached ■1 Bordeaux on Its way to Madrid, the officials and high dignitaries who had it gone to meet the future queen were hiVu:; greatly surprised to And the young king with lier. That boy Is all right, even If he Is a king. If A Populist seems deaver to the heart of the average Hoke Smith organ than a loyal Democrat, these days. The Atlanta Journal has only honeyed words for Populists, while such Demo crats as compose the State Democratic Executive Committee are denounced as "traitors." But the people of the state are beginning to sit up and take notice. Buffalo Bill, who is In Paris, an nounces that he Is coming hack to America soon to die. America Is, as | Bill has doubtless realized, the best country In the world to live In, and It fs perfectly natural that one who en joyed the privileges of American citi zenship so long as the picturesque : scout, frontiersman and showman did a restive nature and love for d venture lured him abroad, should t to return to It to' die. Come e, BUI. ' ^ ’.,i- - I 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.
