The pretty fall weather Btili
holds good. The farmers cannot
object to the weather, as it affords
them a good time for gathering
their crops. ^
The friends of Col. J. H. Estill
are going jto make a .strong : effort
in his behalf in the gubernatorial
contest. -He is a mighty good
man, and no mistake would be
made by the people in honoring
him with the Governorship.
In a few weeks from now the vo
ters of the city of Gainesville wifi
be called upon to choose a mayor
and three aldermem to serve for
the ensuing two years; It is the
duty of each citizen to consider
carefully the merits of each can
didate and the best men—exper
ienced, qualified, conservative
successful men—those who will de
vote their best: efforts, time and
talents to the city, should be vo
ted for.
Just now we need such men at
the helm. The city is rapidly
passing from a town of 6,000 pop
ulation to a city of 12,000 souls.
Important, momentous questions
—questions of vital importance
to us all—are daily arising
and the best men—practical, wise,
enterprising? and through-going
business men—should be in power
to watch after our interests.
Let each citizen do his duty in
this matter, and uo mistake will
sbe made.
DEMOCRATS MAKE GAINS.
Tammany Hall, the great or
ganization under the leadership
of Riehard Crokeiyof New York,
went down in ignominious defeat
in the election last Tuesday, Beth
Low, fusion candidate, defeating
Edward Shepard, Tammany can
didate, by 29,000 majority. Tam
many has been in control of the
municipal government for years,
and since the adoption of the new
charter of greater New York has
had everything absolutely its own
way. Corruption and vice have
held high sway, it is alleged, and
the triumph of Low appears to be
a victory for decent governmeut
rather than the success of republi
canism or the overthrow of De
mocracy.
In Iowa, Ohio and Nebraska re
publicans have made gains, but in
Virginia. Maryland and Kentucky
sdemocratic majorities have been
increased; and the two last named
states each get a Democratic Uni
ted States Senator.'
Senator Hanna will be re-elec
ted to the U. S. Senate, ahd his
influence at the white house will
be more perceptible than it was
immediately after Roosevelts suc
cession to the Presidency.
WENT TO SAVANNAH.
The Georgia legislature visited
Savannah last Wednesday as the
guests of the city and the state
fair association. The people of
hospitable Savannah royally en- 1
ter tamed the y|$ltqrk and ex tend-' J
ed every courtesy to them. The j
m in features of the day were the ^
visit to the state fair, which was
formally opened by Governor !
Candler, and an oyster roast at
Tybee Wednesday afternoon. !
