The following
which explains itself, was
ceived by the

not able to make a prediction
as to the outcome of Mr. Es
till’s candidacy, but he is a
man who doesn 't mince'mat¬
ters and such men are usu
all J h:ml to overcome in any
anderfcakiag. The telegram
rends:
“Savannah, Ga., August 6.1901— 1 To
the People of Georgia: In compli
Anee with the expressed wish of a
,nmi 'oeroi ln * v hllow-cnizens, 1 here
by announce that lama candidate
for ,, the democratic , . nomination . for ,
Governor, and 1 take this opportuni¬
ty to ask a liberal support at the pri¬
maries and mass meetings for the se¬
lection of delegates to the nominat
ing convention. There appears to be
a. very general willingness that the
mnniueqshall be from lower Georgia,
and Mr. duBignou, whose candidacy
was so generally acceptable,
withdrawn, and several gentlemen in
other parts of the state having either
announced themselves as
or permitted it to be understood that
they are, 1 feel that it is but just to
my friends to make this annouiice

Talk about crops! Old Rock¬
dale, always in the lead, is now
able to boast of a crop prospect
superior to any she lias had in
many years, It is an inspiration
to ride along her public highways
and view the fields of cotton and
corn. No need to ask, “What
will the harvest be?”

fSmyraa Osimj> Meeting,
Wo went to Smyrna Sunday
afternoon and when we reached
the camp ground we saw at a glance
that others had gone there before
us. The day was pleasent. Thin
clouds obscured the sun s rays
throughout the day and the people
kept cool without much effort.
Everybody was in a happy mood
and it looked to us that nearly ev¬
erybody was there with their Sun
day-go-to-meeting clot hog on. All
the tents that are habitable are
occupied and many visitors are
with the f enters. The woods were
filled with buggies and the bug*
gies wore filled with peop’e.
The stand was filled to its ut¬
most capacity at the 11 o’clock
sen ice as was the case also at 8 p.
m,
Rev. Mr. Dozier preached the 11
o clock sermon and the vost cou
gregation that heard him were
much pleased and benefitted by
bis discourse.
Rev. .Jos. Ciotfelter preached at
8 o’clock, The stand was filled
wiili people and the best of atten¬
tion was given throughout. His
discourse was able and earnest.
The interest in Smyrna Camp
meeting seems to be growing with
the years. It is located in one of
^be . best
communities in the state,

the meetiugs are always product

and makes it a power for good. He
is known and loved by old and

is great, indeed.
