CAMPAIGN COMMENT
Sparta Ishmaelite: Candidate Esttll
made a formal protest to the returns
from some twenty counties in the late
primary, setting forth the grounds of
his protest and calling on Chairman
Brown of the State Executive Commit
tee to order a recount in the specified
counties. The demand was refused on
the alleged ground of a want of au
throity to order such recount. Candi
date Terrill showed great promptness
in putting himself in opposition to the
granting of the request. His great un
willingness to have any recounting
may account in large measure for the
Inability of Chairman Brown to find
anv authority for granting the request
of Candidate Estill. It was not an un
reasonable request, and it should have
been allowed; and as it attacked the
title of Candidate Terrill he should,
for reasons that will suggest them
selves to everybody, have been anx
ious to have a recount of the ballots
in the disputed counties. His failure
to do so will put a cloud on his title,
and lessen the estimation in which
some people have held him.
The Ishmaelite hasn’t any words of
praise for the primary, as it was con
ducted in many pladew, It was osten
sibly held under the registration law,
but.' in reality, the voting was indis
criminate, in that no provision was
made for purging the lists of the names
of voters not entitled to be on a per
fected list by reason of non-payment
of taxes or other disqualifying causes.
Further than this, money and liquor
and other discreditable influences
were brought to bear upon voters, in
some counties. It is pretty plain that
perfection hasn’t yet been reached in
the primary nomination of officials.
Had the registration law been hon
estly carried out and all voters been
required to meet its conditions, there
would have been some improvement;
but even then it is evident that the
other discreditable methods which pre
vailed would still have remained. Some
thing more than an honest carrying out
of the registration law is needed, to
make the primary the success that it
ought to be, in meeting all the condi
tions of an honest expression of the
popular choice of officials. The Ishmae
lite believes that no other one thing
would contribute so much to that end
as the adoption of the Australian bal
lot law; and R calls upon the press of
the state to unite in urging upon the
Legislature its adoption at the coming
session. It w’ould seem to be possible
under such a law, re-enforcing an hon
est observance of the registration law,
to reduce to a minimum every class of
fraud and outrage in the primary. It
would largely eliminate the ignorant
and venal class, and would tend to
wards the success of the best men in
all contests for nomination. Had the
late primary been held under such a
law. following a full enforcement of
the registration law, there would have
been no grounds for Candidate Estill’s
pretest, or for dissatisfaction mingled
with disgust for some of its outcomes.
So long as Ignorance and venality pre
vail to the extent that they do in Geor
gia. there can be no higher duty de
volving on the conscientious legislator
thin that of throwing the suggested
safeguards around the ballet boxes of
the state.
Col. EstllU* Protest.
Greensboro Herald-Journal: On ma
turer reflection we are Inclined more
than ever to admire the moral cour
age of Col. Estiil. We do not believe
that he hopes, even by a recount, to
change the announced result of the
election, ns shown by the fact that he
charges irregularities in counties which
v ent for Mr. Guerry as well as for Mr.
Terrell. He could only hope by his
protest to call attention to the irregu
larities, and in the Interest of pure
politics and good government, have the
evils corrected.
The refusal on the part of the State
Democratic Executive Committee to
order a recount or investigation in the
counties named, appears to us to be
exceedingly unfair, if not downright
r'fahonest. If they haven’t the power to
order n recount or investigation, who
has? They called the election. If they
b"ve not the power, then they should
he - ble to point Col. Estiil or any other
good Democratic citizen immediately
to the man or set of men who have
the power.
It se?ms childish to talk of the pow
er lying solely with the convention. It
will be practically impossible for th*
convention to order a recount or in
ve'tigition after they have assembled,
and if there is “no law or precedent
by which a recount or investigation
xr.av be had” then the sooner a law is
made, or a precedent established, the
better for the party and the better for
the people.
If Col. Estiil has reason to believe
that irregularities occurred in any
county, it is his right and his duty, in
the interest of good government, to
challenge the result; and a recount or
investigation should either be ordered
by the head of the party organization,
viz; the State Democratic Executive
Committee, or it “hould be made vol
untarily bv the Democratic Executive
Committee of the county against which
the charge is made. The convention
could then have something definite
upon which to base a decision.
At any rate if there has been any
dishonesty in the election there ought
to be some way of getting at it. Some
body ought to have the authority, the
honesty and the nerve to move.
A Laailable Purpose.
Oglethorpe Echo: Col. Estill’s pur
pose is a laudable one. All fair-imind
ed people who want the best men elect
ed to office by clean methods will agree
with him. The best way to pollute the
primary and make it something else
than a means of obtaining honest pref
erences of Democratic voters for can
didates for office is to overlook irregu
larities. If this be done those respon
sible for them will grow bolder and
bolder in their machinations of such
elections and In the end they will con
trol their results by their own shady
ways. Who is in better position to stop
this than a defeated candidate? Of
course no successful one could be ex
pected to do so, and nobody else would
hardly be expected to feci sufficient in
terest in the matter to subject himself
to the adverse criticisms that will al
ways follow such a course. We would
say let the convention take full cogni
zance of Col. Estill’s protest and push
the investigation he asks. Let the
counties he named either vindicate
themselves or be made to fully under
stand that the party will stand noth
ing but fairness in its party elections.
This appears to us to be necessary to
preserve the strength and unity of the
party. If frauds are allowed to go un
noticed and unpunished we can but ex
pect dissatisfactions to arise in the
party that will lead to weakening, or
else the affairs of the party wllLeven
tually get into the hands of disrepu-

table parties which must of course
prove disastrous in the end.
Should Be Above Reproach.
Dublin Courier-Dispatch: Col. Es
tHl is entirely within his rights when
he asks that mistakes be corrected and
irregularities be rectified. A Demo
cratic primary should be above re
proach. Everything about it should
be done decently and in order. If the
rules laid down by the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee have been
violated, those who committed the
wrong should suffer. In the ranks of
the white men of Georgia there is no
room for the trickster. It is the right
of every man to vote according to the
dictates of his conscience and his vote
should not be nullified or set aside by
sharp practices and shrewd manipu
lators.
It will not do for Chairman Brown,
the Executive Committee or the mem
bers of the State Convention to say
that the matter will not be invesi
gated because the results will not be
changed. This cuts no figure at all.
Col. Estill Is entitled to every consid
eration, even though he may not have
received enough votes to nominate him.
The fact that Mr. Terrell has not ask
ed for a recount in several counties
does not affect Mr. Estill’s rights, eith
er. He has no concern with w’hat Mr.
Terrell does or does not.
If the irregularities pointed out by
Col. Estill are not rebuked and cor
rected, In years to come there will be
much confusion, fraud and scandal in
the conduct of state primaries.
Mark the prediction.
Eastman Herald: Col. J. H. Estill
has applied to the State Democratic
Executive Committee for a recount In
the counties of Cobb. Banks, Emanuel,
Towns, Union, White, Dawson, Wash
ington, Murray, Dade, Lowndes, Gil
mer, Forsyth, Worth, Miller, Fannin
and Colquit. Col. Estill claims that
there were many irregularities and un
democratic methods used in the pri
mary, and that a fair count will show
that together he and Guerry received
a larger number of votes than Terrell.
Let justice be done.
Darien Gazette: The good people of
Georgia are not through with Col. Es
till yet, and he needn't bother about
stepping aside. We don't believe that
there is a man in Georgia who voted
for Col. Estill who now regrets It.
McDuffie Progress: Col. Estill's con
test may be just, but the powers that
control are against him.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local nl General New* of Shl|
and Shiifplug.
The steamship Marianne got aground
yesterday in the river opposite the Cot
ton Exchange, where a shoal has
formed. The steamer is tied up for the
second or third time since she left her
slip at the Central Railroad terminals
on Sunday, having stuck her nose into
the ground while turning into the
channel, and later again meeting re
sistance.
The Marianne has a cargo valued on
her manifest at $206,949. The part for
Barcelona consists of 4,855 bales of
cotton, for Venice 1.550 bales of cotton
and 2.517 tons of phosphate rock, and
for Trieste 100 bales cotton linters and
1.291 tons of rock.
The demand for sailors is light at
present The “runners” report little
doing, though they are able to supply
any moderate demands made upon
them for men. Sailors on the coasters
appear to be sticking to their vessels
pretty well, and fewer captains are
calling for men of late. The demand for
sailors for deep sea ships is less be
cause of the fewer number in port
during the past few weeks.
The exports of lumber from Savan
nah during the past week were 2.848,509
feet, of which 719 819 went to New
York. 595,279 to Baltimore, and 155,781
to Philadelphia by steam, and 534,844 to
New York, 375,8.89 to Boston and 467,-

Cotton Oil Mill, which was sold some

Refinery of Louisville, Ky„ will be op

Kelly of Tennille, who was manager of
the mill before it passed into the hands
of the Kentucky people.
The city authorities are making it
warm for negro vagrants, and they are
giving the town a wide berth. Usually,
during the watermelon season, when
the sun gets to shining hot, the ne
groes leave the farms and come to the
towns, where they can pick up little
odd Jobs and exist on watermelons and
kitchen hand-outs. Mayor pro-tem
Brown is getting after this class in
such an effective manner that the re
sult is that a great number of them
prefer to remain on the farm and re
ceive wages for their labor than to live
in town and work on the streets for
their board. Farmers around Tennille
are to be congratulated .on Mayor
Brown's crusade, a* it is responsible
to this that there is not the usual cry
of scarcity of farm hands being made.

New York, June 23. —There was an
advance of 10 in early cotton this
morning. The mere fact that, no rain
had occurred in Texas as looked for
caused decided nervousness. Liverpool
was being impressed by American
claims of the Texas crop being ignored
and shorts were rather nervous. Asa
matter of fact Texas has been holding
up remarkably well, but it is a ques
tion of how long the crop will stand
the drought. The situation there is the
chief sustaining factor. Atlantic states
conditions are generally fine and all
sections outside Texas are believed to
show remarkably fine crop prospects.
Good Texas rains would break the
mlu-ket sharply, while the protraction
of the drought will undoubtedly im
prove prices materially. Some Texas
reports this morning were rather
alarming but it wag noteworthy that
the sections sending most doleful re
ports were admitting the possibility of
a fine crop, should rain fall within a
few days, while some reports went so
far as to concede the possibility of a
bumper crop, big rains at Galveston
and Weldon, N. C„ were reported for
Sunday. The forenoon market ruled
dull hut quite steady. Final cables
were higher for the old crop months
only four Texas stations reported rains
on Sunday from .05 to .03 per inch.
Port receipt# to-day 5,500 against 9,800.
