In the primary election last
Thursday Hon. J. M. Terrell won
the nomination for Governor by a
large majority, receiving 196 of
the 350 votes in the convention.
Col. J. H. Estill came second with
86 votes, and Mr. DuPont Guerry
brought up the rear with 68 votes.
In the contest for the nomina
tion, this paper advocated Col.
Estill. He is a clean, pare man,
and he emerges from the fight
without a stain upon his character
and with the respect and good will
of all the people. Re threw r no
mud at his opponents, ai d had
none thrown upon him. He treated
everybody with the utmost respect,
and they, in turn, respected him.
Although Col. Estill failed to land
the governorship, l.elo3t nothing
by going into the campaign. He
became personally known to hun
dreds of Georgian’s, visited almost
every section of the state and he
left a pure, wholesome impression
upon the politics 'of Georgia that
will not soon be forgotten.
In Hall county, Col. Estill won
a signal victory. As in every other
section of the state, the machine
politicians were against him, but
he came among. the people, met
them face to face, told them where

and they were so deeply impressed
with his honesty, frankness and

Mr. Terrell will make a good

judgment form-
by strangers in regard to the thrift
and enterprise of any coupty. One
who is looking about 5>r a good local
ity in which to settle will be apt, all
things else being equal, to deeide up
on a county in which good roads give
him easy access to a market at all
seasons of the year.
It has been estimated by those wrho
have given* the matter careful atten
tion, that in a section of country hav
ing first-class roads the transportation
of his produce to market will cost the
farmer just about one-fourth the ex
pense involved in the same traffic over
our ordinary Georgia roads.
Professor S. W. McCalMe, assistant
state Geologist, in his excellent treat-
ease on “The Roads and Road-Building
Materials of Georgia,’’ says: “It Is
a well-known fact that in the winter
and early spring months, the majority
of our common dirt roads become well-
nigh impassable for heavy traffic. Dur
ing this season of the year, the teams,
which might be profitably engaged in
hauling the farm products to mar
ket, remain idle, at a considerable ex
pense to their owners in the matter of
attention, feed, etc.
Cost of Bad Roads.
“Professor J. A. Holmes, State Ge
ologist of North Carolina, in discussing
this item of expense chargeable to bad
roads, places the loss due to this cause
in 56 middle and western counties of
that state at $1,600,000 per annum, an
amount sufficient to build more than
75 miles of first-class macadamfeed
road.
“Now, if the above figures are cor
rect, and they are ufidoubtedl| r plausi
ble, it would be no exaggeration to
say that the farmers of Georgia annu
ally sustain a loss of more than $2,000,-
000 from this cause alone. In other
words, this large sum of money would
be an annual net gain to the farmers
of the state, if the roads were so im
proved, that teams could be used at all
seasons of the year.
Effect of Good Roads.
If time and space allowed, we should
be glad to quote more from Prof. Me-
Callie; but we will do this at another
time and show how good roads dimin
ish the wear and tear on vehicles,
harness and hoiv^, and how they in
crease the val Jrof real estate. On
the moderate estimate that good roads
will increase the value of lands con
tiguous to them by $2 per acres Prof.
McCallie thinks that this apparently
insignificant amount would aggregate
more than $10,000,000, a sum equal to
about one-half of the present assessed
valuation of all the farming lands of
the state.
Some Good Roads in Georgia.
While urging our people to progress
on this line, we are glad that we are
not compelled to go hej T ond our own
State for examples of good roads. Sev
eral hundred miles of first-class ma
cadamized roads have been built in
several counties under the system pro
vided by our laws for the improvement
and maintenance of public highways.
The Manchester, and Peachtree roads
near Atlanta, in Fulton county, are
thoroughfares equal fo the best ideal.
More than 76 miles of splendid ma
cadamized roads in Floyd county give
to the citizens easy access to the thriv
ing city of Rome: The Washington
Pike and the Savannah Valley roads,
of Richmond county, make travel .and
transportation easy to Augusta. Roads
of similar merit radiate from Macon
in Bibb county; from Savannah in
Chatham county, and from Brunswick
near “the marshes of Glynn.”
