This Is Georgia Day. we celebrate the one Jiun- an d sixty-ninth aniversaryof fading of the colony of Geoi- t obtained an existence the good heart and gen- Puiposes of General James Oglethorpe, That he afford an asylum and j new H opportunities to many of his op pressed compatriots in England, he obtained from George II the charter for a colony which he lo cated, February 12 1733, on the Yam a craw bluff and the town he established there isluow the great city and port of Savannah. Th0 seal of tbe trustees of the new colony was indicative of the spirit of philanthropy; which in spired their project. It represent ed silkworms on their cocoons, with the motto “Non sibi, sed aliis”-—not for ourselves, but for others! v The new colony grew through many vicissitudes and prospered because it was made up of a strong, composite population of Englishmen, Scots, Saltz burgers and Moravians, who were indus trious, and who were as sincere lovers of justice and freedom as they were devoted to their homes and their altars. In the war of independence the Georgias cast ip their lot with the other colonies and suffered the severities ot that great struggle with splendid fortitude. They contributed strength to the cause, great soldiers to its battles and shared the glory o£ the supreme victory; Georgia was one of the original states in the formation of the Union, and her history as a com. monwealth devoted to the con stitution, to civil liberty and to the spirit of true American is sec- ond to none. It is fitting, then, that this day should be honored by the citizens of so great and so beneficent a commonwealth. It is her natal day and whatever she is to her sons and daughters should be sig nalized to them annually in ora tory and song and sentiments of historic devotion. Hereafter, by legislative action, it should be rec- ognized as the legal “Georgia Day*’ and made a holiday of state pride and patriotism.—Atlanta Constitution, Wednesday. “Alice In Wonderland:’’ As a matter of concession to American traditions the Macon Telegraph thinks Miss Alice Roosevelt would have done better as “an American girl” to have de clined the invitation to the cor onation, for the simple reason that she is the daughter of the president. Her father would have done well to have given her some advice on this point. She will, it is true, not be recognized for mally in the Court Gazette, but she will undoubtedly be accorded very marked social attentions, which she would not have received had she gone over as the daughter of an Oyster Bay farmer or a New York police commissioner. Hav ing in the meantime christened the yacht of the German emper or phe will speedily find herself the recipient ot marked courtesies at the king’s direction, the idea being to show hqr that the king is not less gallant than the emperor.

Terrell Declines Debate. Atlanta, Feb. 8;—Hon, J. M. Terrell today wrote Hon Dupont Guerry, declining to enter into joint debates with him oh issues involved in the governorship. It has been predicted all along that Mr. Terrell would decline, and he bases his position almost wholly on the idea that joint debates en gender animosities and create un pleasantness, and that they work to the harm rather than the good of the party. Atlanta’s Street Car Deal Atlanta, Feb. 8.—The Atlanta street carTight was ended to-day by the attachment of the- signa ture of Mayor Mims to the consol idation" ordinance passed by Coun cil and the acceptance of the terms of the ordinance by H. M. | Atkin son, representative of the inter ests which own the two large street car systems m the city. The new ordinance which is now in effect permits consolidation on the following terms: Payment to the city of $50,000 within thir ty days.of the consolidation. The combined company to pay the fol lowing yearly percentages: For the first three years beginning with 1902 1 per cent, per annum of its receipts in and without the city of Atlanta. For the follow ing twenty years 2 per cent per annum of said receipts, and there after 3 per cent per annum of the said receipts. These payments jto be in lieu of all charges and*taxes except advalorem taxes, paying charges and bridge rentals. Gov. Candler Went To Charleston Gov. Candler and staff, escort ed by the Gate City Guard, of At lanta, went to Charleston Sunday afternoon in a special train over the Georgia Railroad. In the Governor’s party was Miss Etta Mae Bfynds ot Gaines ville, who was one of the maids of honoF from Georgia to the Presi dent’s daughter. However, the President was prevented from making the trip to the exposition on amount of the illness of his son, Theodore Jr., who has pneu monia at Groton, Mass. Elberton Fire Swept. Elberton, Ga., Feb. 9.,—Fire here early today destroyed nearly all of the business section of this place, doing damage which is es timated at $100,000. The city has no fire protection and the backet brigades formed by citizens were of no avail in a temperature of 20 degrees and a high wind. The fire at one time threatened the entire city and Atlanta was called on for aid, but before the special Strain could be gotten ready the shifting of the wind sayed the town. Sparta iBhmaelite: A man doesn ’t have to be very wise, po litically, to know that Terrell’s announcement is a con tinning boost for Estill. It will drive the ^. * liquor vote, which would have gone to him, to the Savannah man, without winning for him the pro hibition vote which will go, large ly, to Guerry. Though this state ment may not be accepted now, it will -soon be apparent'to all. - Tbe Way It Looks In Union. Hob; J. Pope Brown has with drawn from the race for governor. This Iqavei . the field to Estill, Terrell, Smith and Guerry, and it is reported that Smith has with drawn. All the best papers are backing Esfcill.-Blairsville Herald. “Oh!” said the poet haughtily, “If you don’t accept my verses it doesn’t matter much. I have other irons in the fire.” “Ah! Then put these verses with them, by all meahs,” said the editor.—Phila delphia Record. ESTILL ANSWERS QUESTIONS. In answer to questions propound ed by a committee of the Georgia Prohibition Association, Colonel J. H. Estill has declared that, in his opinion, a general prohibition law would not be for the best in terests of the state. He is a be liever in local option. He says he would not, as governor, be in favor of recommending the pas sage ot a general prohibition law but states that, were such a bill passed by the legislature he would sign it. The following communications are self-explanatory: Sandersville, Ga., February 5, 1902.— Colonel J. H. Estill, Savannah,. Ga.— Dear Sir: We have mailed yon a marked copy of The Sentinel, and beg to call your attention to a question therein propounded. Thanking you in advance for a prompt reply, we are yours, very truly 0. R. PRINGLE, For the Georgia 1 Prohibition Associa tion. G. A. NUNNALLY, . For the interdenominational Temper. ance Committee. »* THE QUESTIONS. At a joint meeting of the executiye committee of the Georgia Prohibition Association and - Interdenominational Temperance Committee, the under signed were appointed to prepare ques tions to the candidates dot governor and members of the senate and house of representatives touching their .views on the liquor question. Will you, as a candidate for gover nor, take a position in favor of elec ting senators and representatives who favor state prohibition, and if "elected recommend in your message and give your executive approval to such legis lation as may be calculated to abol ish bar rooms and mitigate the evils incident to the traffic in intoxicating beverages? C. R. PRINGLE, For the Georgia Prohibition Associa tion. , G A. NT7NNALI/SV For the Interdenominational Tem perance Committee. Savannah, Ga., February 7. *1902.— Messrs C. R. Pringle and G. A. Nun- nally, Sandersville, Ga.—Gentlemen: You ask me two questions. I shall answer'them frankly. First, You ask me if, as a candidate for governor, I will take a position in favor of elect ing; senators and representatives who favor state prohibition. I answer no.^ I do not. think a general prohibition law would be for the best interests of the state. I believe in local option. That has been approved by the demo cratic party of the state, State pro hibition has not. I would not, how ever, offer opposition to the nomina tion of good democrats who believe in state prohibition. Second, You ask me whether, if elect ed governor, I would recommend in my message to the legislature, and would give my approval ,to legislation calcu lated to abolish bar-rooms and mitigate the evils incident to the traffic in in toxicating beverages. If yon mean, would I recoinend the enactment of a general prohibition law, I answer no.. If you mean, would I sign a general prohibition bill if one were passed by the legislature, I answer, yes. In such matter I do not believe I would be just ified in setting up my against that of the legislature. I am a temperance man and E • -1 . -r-0 r--it .... I—. 1 .' £ would gladly assist in lessening the evils of the liquor traffic. I believe that by educational methods and local option the liquor traffic can be so restricted, that its evils will be scarcely noticea. ble, and that eventually the traffic can be stopped. I do not believe it can be stopped except in bar rooms, or its evils noticeably checked, by a prohibi tive law. " ~ - I hope I have answered ijyour ques tions fully, Yours very truly. J. H. ESTILL. *
