ACTION TAKEN ON
POLITICAL RUMOR,
The Cobb-Deloney Camp
Repudiates a Slander
of Col Estill.
Several members of the Oobb-Doloney
oatnp of ex Confederate veterans met
yesterday at noon and adopted resolu
tions lntrodnoed by Judge Mitchell re
pudiating a political rumor to the effect
that Ool. Estill. who is a candidate for
governor, was a deserter from the Con
federate army. The resolutions were as
follows:
Whereas. Col. J. K. Estill candidate
for Governor.of Georgia, has, for pollti
cal and designing pnrposes, and In order
to Injure his chances for election to the
high office he is moat honorably asking
at the hands of the people of his Btate
beon grossly slandered; in being charged
with being a deserter from the Oonfed
erate army and by reason thereof denied
admission into onr .Confederate camps.
Therefore bo it
Resolved by Cobb-Deloney Camp of
Ex-Confederate Veterans, That wo re-
cognizo in our fellow-comrade, Ool. J.
H. Estill, a brave, gallant and patriotic
ex-Oonfederate soldier, whose record as
■uoh is unimpeachable, and whoee char
acter as a gentleman and whose stand-
ingas an honorab’.e oltizen of Georgia is
far above and beyond that of his wonld
be tradnoers.
Resolved, That we prononnoe the
oharge of his being a deserter as abso
lutely false, willfully mallolous and
cowardly slanderous, and in refutation
and resentment of the same wo do
hereby extend to him onr cordial good
Wishes in his race tor the governorship
of the state he so gallantly and so hero
i/^iiy represented In the trying days of
the sixties.
Resolved, That as ex-Oonfederate;sol-
diert, feeling that it Is our duty as well
as onr pleasure to defend the record of
our gallant fellow comrade, we do here
by call upon and earnestly entreat every
ex-Oonfederate carrp and every ex Con
federate soldi r in Georgia to unite with
ns in resenting this base slander of onr
fellow comrade, Ool. J. II. Estill.
"Resolved, That copios of these reso
Intions he furnished The Athens Banner
and Clarke Connty Courier for publica
tion and that copies of the same be sent
to the Savannah Press and the Savannah
Morning News.
As originally drafted the resolutions
pledged the support of every member of
the camp to Ool. Estill, but it was deci
ded to strike this out and extend hearty
good wishes for the distinguished candi
date instead. The constitution of the
United Confederate Veterans provides
that the camps mast not take political
stands in any contests.
Dr. H. H. Carlton, who made a spirit
ed address on the adoption of the above
resolutions, stated, after the meeting,
that the resolutions wonld have been
adopted. In spite of the constitutional
provision had they been pressed.
As originally drafted one paragraph
of the resolutions read ; "'',Ve do here,
by pledge to him the oordial, earnest
and unfaltering support ol every mem
ber of Cobb-Deloney camp of ex Contcd
erate veterans." Another paragraph
read as originally drafted, “We earnest
ly entreat every ex-Oonfederate Boldiir
In Georgia to unite with un In resenting
this base slandir of our fellow comrade,
Ool J, H. Estill, by their earnest and
most hearty support of him for thekiext
Governor of Georgia." These portions
of tho resolutions were out ont before
the meeting was called to order.
