If then is a man in tne county who has not beeD elec, rioneered with, he must be in jail or kid sj far back in a dark cor ner that he could net be found with a search warrant. As this is our last regular issue ihai vviJl reach ihe people, before the election, we present below a list of the candidates. As there nas been no nomination made for any office by the Democratic party, the Herald has taken no stand for any one but bus sought to deal perfectly impartial and give them a 1 a fair chance by presenting their claims to the people and if such a i Ling was possible would like to see them all e ected and happy. Many of ihem will be dis appointed and we always feel s„r ry for a man who has sethis heart on being elected, spent Lis time and money and then realizes’ that lie has been beat. If he has been fairly beaten he has no right :o complain, and may console him self with the reflection that in pop ulav elections tlio best maj is not always the most successful, an liun dred circumstances enter into the race that control the votes of the people, and sometimes a very small thing—a false rumor or a misap prehension will turn the scale.

Bespec fu'ly A Sad Death A BOT CRUSHED TO DEATH BEFORE HIS FATHEB. Ou last Saturday was a week, Mr A W Miles, who lives on the plantation of Clarence L Hutchins on the Chattahoochee, was build ing a corn crib with logs. He and his older son were putting the logs up as they were notened. his younger son, a bey about thir teen, was standing by Ihe side of tie crib. They had liuished the wall except the top log and had it up on lop and attempted to roll it over so as to make it tit in the notch cut in the Lg below. In tuining it over they lost eon/rol of it. and instead of stopping at the right place, it rolled entirely off and fell square Iv upon the head and shoulders of his son standing below. The log was heavy and falling a considerable distance, it crushed his skull and 1 roke the collar bsne. They hurried to him at once and carrio 1 him to the house and posted a messenger to Suwannee afier Dr Harr’s. The child’s sufferings were|terrib!e and he lived only half an hour. Who can imagine the feelings of the father and hi other as they saw this heavy log go crushing down upon the little boy who was innocently standing there ut terly unconscious of danger ? A Candidaice Misfortune Mr J T Baxter was out canvass ing the lower part of Gwinnett last week and started to cross Yellow River at Holts old mills. His horse became frightened at a hole in the bridge and backed the the buggy off the abutment. Mr. Baxter just had time to jump out as the buggy and horse wen' over falling about ten feet. The hone la ided in the buggy, smashing i> up badly. Mr Baxter extricated him as soon as possible, thinking he was badly huri, bui while be was attempting to get bis buggy pulled out he looked and the horse was quietly making bis dinner ofl the leaves of a bush to waich he was tied, utterly careless of the wreck he had made. Editor of the Herald. Your correspondent “Gwinnett" in your last issue is ignorant of the duties of the CouLty Commis sioners . He leaches the fa se doctrine tha' “they have power to regulate our public schools.” That board has no more to do with the public schooli as a board than they have over the Inaugura. tion of the President, He must be some small Peda gogue from the backwoods who needs to be taught rather than to teach. An act was passed in 1872 pro vidiug for the election of a beard of County Commissioners for this County,to be elected by the people, they to have Juiiediction over "Road and Revenues, the public property, paupers of the Co untv finaiioies. This is the extent of i heir authority. I wi 1 try to en'ighten him furtb er by staling that the Cede pro vides Lr a “Board of Education’ in ea.h County, elected by the Grand Jury, and iu connection with the “County School Commie sioner” appointed by them have sole jurisdiction over public Schools. They at all times are subject to the State School Commis siou, iu all cases not deticed by the law. A man writing fora newspaper to go before tne people ough' to know what he is talking about. While your correspondent shows his ignorance, he also shows that he is a demagogue on a small pat 'ern in trying to prejudice the poorer class against those that may be better off, and the country against the towns. The Public School System makes to distinc ion between the poor and the rich; iu the towns or in the coun try, and white I tun not connected with the Board of Education iu any way I give them credit for do ing thei' - duty to the best of tbeir ability so far a s I know and so far as I have heard, except the sense less complaints of yoor aforsaid correspondent. Jinks. Gwinnett Co. Ga. Dec. 20’84 Mr Editor : My name has been suggested m your columns as a candidate for County Commissioner. While I have no aspiration for public offices of any kind, and am unwil ling o be considered a candidate for the office of commtsioLer, 1 would not decline to serve if the people of the county see proper to elect me.
