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.

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.” The McKinley Postal Cards. . * A new one cent postal card is now being printed at the bureau of engraving and printing and when the first, issue of 4,000,000 has been counted and bundled the new card will Be placed on sale.
