THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1; NUMBER 213. LARGE CROWD AT THE BIG MASS MEETING ESTILL RALLY GREAT SUCCESS —-t CITY HALL WAS PACKED WITH WITH FRIENDS AND SUPPORT. ERS OF THE SOUTH GEORGIA CANDIDATE. CROWD WAS ENTERTAINED BY ELOQUENT ADDRESSES AND COL. ESTILL’ CLAIMS FORCG BLY ADVANCED f The' rally at the city hall last night in the interest of Col. John H. Estill. the, south Georgia candidate for gov ernor, was the largest and most e;i thvFSiastic plTreical gathering held in Glyrri county in many years, and the support accorded the Savannah can didate was loyal in every respect. The meeting was called to order by Dr! J. A. Butts, who, after a -b*!ef talk on questions connected with thq campaign, introduced Col. Estill as Georgia’s next governor. Colonel Estill was received witli the most enthusiastic applaus and it was several minutes before his voice could lie lic-ard. In his spcjech, 'which was to the point all the way through, Col. Es till easMy answered the charges made against aim by a few Brunswickians who. mostly for political reasons are supporting either Mr. Terrell or Mr. Guerry. Among the first charges that he laid at rest was that his paper, the Savannah Morning News, had sup. pressed iinwi items sent from here which were of interest to BriirisWlrk, and also that our shipping report was left out of the paper daily. Col. Es till said ttiat no news item which would aid Brunswick had fiver been suppressed, and the correspondent of the Sifvannah News was present, ready and willing to verify the state ment. Another charge, and one which his opponents have been using to con sidcrable advantage against, hint, was that if he’ was elected governor he would not re-appoint Judge Spencer Atkinson, of this city, a member of the (ailroad .commisfifon. Oof. Es till stated that he knew not where such an idea originated, as lie con sidered Judge Atkinson one of the strongest, brainiest and most popular and capable officials of the stats of Georgia, and that he had always con sidered him a most valuable officer and among Georgia's brainiest citi zens. A gentleman present asked Col. Estiil if, as it had beeji charged, he had endorsed the. negro DeVeaux for collector of customs for the port of Brunswick. Col. Estill said that he never remembered of doing anything of the kind. The Chaham county candidate then addressed the large crowd on the issues of the campaign; said he was an advocate of local option, opposed to the state of Georgia being run by politicians, was in favor of better schools for tli.e education of our children. He also explained himself fully on tlie labor question, saying any laborer, whether be belonged ter the union or not could work oir his paper, and receive as high pay as is paid by any printing office in the state. Cos!. I . til! was followed by Col F. M. Oliver, of Savannah, who, fer a half an irir, held the closest attests ion of the large and enthusiastic aus dicnce. Mr. Oliver is an orator of reputation, has a beautiful flow of language and his speech last night was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present. He paid and high and fitting tribute to the Savannah candidate, said he had known him for many years and that he was a ctiizen worthy of the high office which he seeks. Mr. Oliver ended by saying that Col. Estili was the candidate of the people and not the poditicians and that he hoped the voters of Glynn would as sist in placing him in office. The next, speaker was Major Finley of Gainesville, who, on hiss own per* Jsonal account, is canvassing the state in Col. Estilt's interest. Major Finley j talked for fully an tidfur, and in his speech he exploded many of the I schemes of the politicians now in power.in the state. Ho said that his section of the state was solid for thq south Georg,a candidate; that it. it is time this section should be repre seated in the gubernatorial chair, and to accomplish that rests with tlie people of south Geogia. He claims 2*"TTHinties_ solid for Estill in his sece tion and says ho lias a good chance in ihe ether couties. , by a few politicians to carry the MOCK MARRIAGE ENSNARES GIRL.
