In this issue we present a num ber of reasons given by different editors and citizens of Georgia why Col. j. H. Kstill, of Savan nah, should be nominated and elected governor of the state of Georgia. These reasons seem to he sufficient to authorize all demo crats to cast their suffrage for him in the coming primary. Many reasons have been assign ed by his friends and followers, .but the most important to our mind, is that Col Kstill is a man of superb business and executive ability. He has demonstrated from the beginning of his career to the present moment that lie knows how to handle affairs, and Georgia never needed a business nlan in the governor’s chair more than at present. .Millions of dol lars go from the tax payers pock ets through the capitol during every administration and we do not believe there is a man in Georgia who could and would manage all this money more to the advantage of the common people’s interests. If any body can stop the leaks and reduce taxes Kstill is the man. If Terrell is made governor it will be the same old crowd of political office holders and the same old high fax rate, and the people, as usual, will he paying the bills. Col. Kstill is not a lawyer, nor a politician, hut he is a man of affairs, a rock ribbed democrat, an upright citizen, and a Christian gentleman —a man eminently qual ified and worthy to he Governor of j Georgia. STATE PRIMARY, JUNE STH. The state democratic Executive Committee met in Atlanta last Saturday and fixed Thursday June sth. as the time for holding the primary for nominating candi dates for governor and state house officers. The convention will be held on Wednesday July L*. It is probable that the various county committees will now call a primary for nominating all county officers for the same day] on which the state primary will be held, namely, June sth. From now until the primary the candi-1 dates may put in their best efforts to be successful over their oppo nents. It will boa campaign that will be watched with inter est by the people of the entire state. Kentucky presents the most novel campaign of history. A man of good common sense, but with little political trickery, de sired to represent his district in congress. He had a lovely and accomplished daughter who was a brilliant performer on the violin. The father took the daughter with him to play before and after his speeches. The plan worked like a charm. It is said that it will 1* next to impossible for his op ponent to overcome the tide of popular feeling. W BoqgM HON. H. H-'CABANISS. Hon. H. H. Cabaniss, business manager of the Atlanta Journal, is candidate for mayor of the city Of Atlanta. He is one of Geor gia’s most honored and valuable citizens and he lias hosts of friends throughout the state who hope to see the people of Atlanta do their duty by electing him their chief executive. For years Mr. Caban iss has shown his devotion to the capital city by advocating and HON. H. H. CABANISS. enthusiastically supporting every public .advancement for Atlanta and lie seems to deserve this honor from his fellow citizens. Ho cer tainly is exceedingly well quali fied for the position, and he would not only make an excellent mayor hut the fact that he had been elected would in itself reflect honor upon the city, for his name is re spected and honored throughout t he state and country. PAYS HIS FARE. Kx-Prisdent Grover Cleveland parsed through Georgia Thursday, last for Florida, where he will spend awhile for the benefit of his health. Mr. Cleveland lias thousands of strong admirers in Georgia, and also many, who never see anything good in him and who never let an opportunity pass for abusing him. He is one of the greatest states men of liis time and is the only democratic president who has oe cup'ied the White House since the war between the states. On this trip to Florida, Mr. Cleveland traveled in the private ear, the Yakima, belonging to Hon. Daniel Lamont, who was his secretary of war. As was his custom when president, Mr. Cleve land paid his fare, which means with a private car, just 18 full reg ular fares. He could have travel ed then as he could travel now on free railroad passes, but he chose to do otherwise, which is an ex ample worthy of imitation by many who constantly criticise him. It is generally hoped that the ex-president’s health may be greatly improved by his stay in the Land of Flowers. Cliunli Noll in'. The second quarterly meeting for Milner circuit will be held at Milner Friday before the first Sunday in April. (April 4th.) Dr. Robins will preach Thursday night and Friday morning, effii cial session Friday afternoon at •J o’clock. 1 nvitations are extend ed to all. A well-to-do farmer in Russell county Kansas, has traded his ten vear-old son and a wagon load of corn for the 18-vear old daughter of a neighboring farmer, equally well-to-do, and the transaction was made a matter of record in the county clerk's office. The reason for the trade was that in the family of which the boy was a member there were no girls, while the father of the transferred girl had no boys. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Di|apt< what you eat.. THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURr?-?Y, APRIL 3, ,1902. GEORGIA DOCTORS OPPOSE CARE OF DRUNKARDS. This discussion of a state ineb j riate aslyum is a generation or two ahead of time. This state is not ! yet caring for half its insane, hardly any of its epileptics, but very few of its idiots, perhaps none lof its imbeciles, and not one of its physically helpless paupers. And yet, a few misinformed and misguided people would have the public taxed to support in idle ness and luxury the drunkards while they are renovated after de bauches, getting ready to be turn loose again on a confiding public. For everyone who has ever had any constitutional experience knows that the inebriate is by far the hardest semi-responsible indi vidual to hold under restraint. Habeas corpus proceedings al ways come with soberness. Massachuetts is the only state that has seriously attempted such an asylum and finds that it costs nearly seven dollars a week per capita to maintain it; and rarely ever regularly convicted and com mitted dipsomaniacs are held six months; they are then returned renovated mentally and physically to society, been warmed back to life in the state’s charitable bosom are now ready to begin anew their depradationson the decency of the community. Georgia has only fairly begun to dig in the peat bogs of absolute ly necessary charity; has turned but few furrows in the broad fur tile (bids of practical benefaction and as far, very far from ready to lose herself in the jungle of the purely ornamental socialistic ven tures. It passes me how any right thinking citizen would will to take the school money—their only hope of worldly advancement —from the drunkard’s little pitiful, worse than orphans in order to maintain a warm, cozy, comfortable asylum for the brutal fathers. What thought could be more cruel heartedly unjust. If there is yet hope for the drunkard let him work and sweat himself sober in prison or on the public roads —the state pay his family an allowance for him. It he be beyond redemption and is unable to work send him to the state asylum at Millodgeyille. That is already much over-crowd ed, but it, does not matter for the state will very soon have to build anew hospital for the acute and curable insane. The state ought. rather than build an inebriate asylum, add to its normal, industrial and techni cal schools for its feeble-minded; plant a colony for its epileptics increase the work on the roads. At least fifty years of necessary and practical charity before reach ing the ornamental. Better restrict the sale of liquor than encourage its consumption by providing a comfortable re treat for its devotes. Give a law of compulsory divorce against the dipsomaniac, thus producing fewer drunkards’ child ren. E. J. Spratling, M. D. Forsyth, Ga. The Country Boy. The. Louisville Courier-Journal has these kind words for the country boy: “With moral, physical, and intellectual equip ment, the country boy begins life in anew home with all the ad vantages that come to certain plants that never thrive until transplanted. The country boy knows how these plants begin to grow and flourish as soon as they are drawn from the beds where they have been sprouted. In their new situation they take root and grow with a vigor t hat prob ably never would have come had they remained in the place where the seed were sown. The dis tinguished man who once said he never passed a barefoot bov with out feeling like taking off his hat to him, so great were the possi bilities under that shock head of hair, spoke only what it needs no learning to know. It is the country boy, barefooted, sun burned and freckled, who is the rose and expectancy of the na tion.” ( JOHN T. MIDDLEBROOKS TIT Handles Only the Best!

C. SAWTEIA IN GRIFFIN CALL. Col. J. H. Estill, of Savannah, editor and proprietor of the Sa vannah Morning News is squarely in the race for Governor, and it is said he will be the South Georgia candidate. Col. Estill has a strong follow ing in South Georgia, and that section of the state will be solidly for him. A number of the politi cians in Chatham who have op posed Col. Estill in local matters for years, say that they would not only vote for him, but would en ter actively into the campaign in his behalf for Governor. Col. Estell is one of the best known newspaper men in the state aud a man who has so successfully run a large daily paper for so many years can certainly be a credit to a state as its chief executive. MERITS OF WIRE FENCING. Itn Economy, Dnrabilaty and Con venience Increase its Sale in the South. Tn nothing is the energy and enterprise of the South shown more than in the rapidity with which it is adopting woven wire fencing, for enclosing large plan | tations or small gardens. The American Field and Hog Fence is | being sold in great quanat.ities throughout the South and reports from all sections indicated that the result exceed the expectations arousd by the hearty recommen dations of this fence by farmers of the North and ranch owners of the West. Some of the features Which make this fence peculiarly adapted to the needs of planters are its 'economy, its great durability, the I ease and rapidity with which it can be erected, and complete protection it affords to stock and crops. Such a fence would not be possible excepting for the low price prevailing for steel products and the fact that it is manufac tured in enormous quantities to supply the demand coming from all parts of the country. It is j constructed of the best Bessemer steel, heavily galvanized aud in the quantity and quality of gal vanizing and in the methods of weaving the fence there has been a great improvement. flow Are Tour &W>ei> t Dr. Hob!* Svwiraror.

With men who fall in love it is an incident; with those who do not an accident. Some married couples are so old-fogy it takes them months to have a falling out. It seems to cost just as much to cover up a thin woman with clothes as a big fat one. It is the woman who sets out to elevate the stage that gets tangled up iu the most divorce eases. There are mighty few people in the world who don’t believe their social position is fixed by the number of servants they hire and the number of spare bed-rooms they call guest chambers. —New York Press. THE LOWEST PRICES on things you have to buy! I always carry a full line of Staple and Fancy GRO CERIES, and have them marked down to the very lowest notch and can make it to your interest to try A Compositions on Hens. A composition by a California boy reads as follows: •‘Hens is curious animals. They don’t have no nose, nor teeth nor oo ears. The outside of hens is put in pillers and feather dusters. The inside of a hen is sometimes filled up with marbels and shirt buttons and sich. A hen is much smaller than a good many other animals, but they’ll dig up more tomato plants than anything that ain’t a hen. “Hens is very useful to lay eggs for plum pudding. I like plum pudding. Skinny Bates eat so much plum pudding once that it set him into the collery. “Hens has got wings and can fly when they are scart. I cub my Uncle William’s hen’s neck off with a hatchet and it scart her to death. “Hens sometimes make very fine spring chickens.” The worries of a weak and sick mother are only begun with the birth, of a child. By day her work is constantlv interrupted and at night her rest is broken by the wailing of the peevish, punny infant. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick well. It lightens all the burdens of maternity, giv ing to mothers strenght and vigor which they impart to their child ren. In over thirty years of prac tice Dr. Pierce and his associate staff of nearly a score of physicians have treated and cured more than half a million suffering women. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free of charge. All correspondence is strictly pri vate. Address Dr. R. Y. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical In stitute, Buffalo, N. Y. WHAT MR. R. L. HARTSEIX SAYS IN DALTON ARGUS. The people are not treating the announcement of Col. J. H. Estill, editor of the Savannah Morning News, for governor slightly, and they should not. A man who can run a newspaper as successfully as Col. Estill can safely steer the old ship of state. If the newspapers throughout the state rally to his support, he’ll give the other can didates some trouble.
