JTJIET, DIGNIFIED AND SENSI
BLE.
The quiet, dignified and sensi
ble campaign for the governorship
which Col. J. H. Estill is now
inducting in this section of the
state is winning for him many
riends and. supporters. The Col-
lel has never resorted to the
devices of the average politician,
bat those who think he does not
horoughly understand the ganie
of politics are bhdly mistaken.
Id reconstruction times he ren
dered splendid service to our peo
ple, and for more than a genera
tion his work has produced
substantial and betoeficial results
which have touched, directly or
adirectly, every county in the
tate.
Conservative, broad-minded and
nth the courage- of his convic-
ions, Colonel Estttl would, make
1 model governor. Many years
‘go, when he was the -, popular
resident of the Georgia Press
WBoci&tion, I frequently met him,
‘od his courtesy, personal
Dagnetism, fine appearance and
Public spirit bound the editors to
iim by ties of friendship, strong
s hooks of steel.
If it is Governor Estill the poo-
do of north Georgia will be well
satisfied, and the whole state will
*6 proud of its chief executive.
Mi this and more can be said of

foe other candidates. He] does

cotton factories dn foil operation,
which will be early next month,
our little city will be the %hird
largest cotton mill centre in the
state. x
“The manufacture of J>rick dur
ing the past year has assumed im
mense proportions and we are now
shipping millions to Jacksonville.
Our clay is. said by experts to
be the finest south of Baltimore;
“We are now building an elec
tric railway from Gainesville to
Dahlonega, and when it is com
pleted it will be the longest elec
tric line in the state, as it will ex
tend over a distance of 25. miles;
The power from this line will be
furnished from dynamos con
nected with water power on *the
Chattahoochee and Chestatee riv
ers. . •::.. - * u.-. ■?.
Now that the winter is passing
our gold mining industries are be

Mr. Levy looked anxiously at
the door, and at the two men, and
continued in a faint voice; “Is
that ail?” .
“No,” continued: one of the
strange pair, “we wish to ask you
a question. Our father -died a
short time ago. We were his on
ly children. He left a paper in
which he said that his oldest son
was to have all his property, but
neither of us is the oldest, so what
are we to do?”
“How much did your father
leave?” asked Mr. Levy.
“Seven dollars,” chorused the
two men.
“Divide it,” answered the law

“But what is your fee for this
advice? asked one of the men, V

SOUTHWEST GEORGIA IS
AGAINST EARLY PRIMARY.
The Albany Herald, which is
supporting no one of/the candi
dates for Governor, and which,
therefore, speaks impartially as
between all, has the following to
say regarding an early primary,
showing the sentiment in south
west Georgia on this matter:
“If the question is to be consid
ered with reference to the conven
ience of the people rather than in
the interest of any of the candi
dates for office, it will be difficult
to make a reasonable showing in
favor of an early spring primary.
It matters not if the candidates
have taken the field early, the con
venience and interests of the peo
ple should be /first considered
when it comes to fixing a date foi*
the primary.
For one, wo can see no reason
why the primary should be ; held
before August. If the conven
ience of the farmers is to be con
sidered, an early primary will cer
tainly not be ordered. The far
mers will be busy from now until
the middle of July, and will have
but little time to devote to poli
tics.”

can state that the preliminary
plans will be paid for out of what
fund or from what source will be

The thermometer always hung
outside the porch door in summer
and in the family sitting room in
winter. The rise and fall of the
mercury had never been explained
to the small boy of the family, who
regarded the instrument with great
respect as a generator of heat next
in importance to the sun. One cold
day in March he rushed in from the
barn and demanded:
“Ma, gimme the thermometer
quick!”
