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.
