Uncle Sam has banished the

the uext thing in order is to lick
the Cubans, who are incapable of
self-government.
What about a Fair for this good

the time to make it known, so the
farmers may prepare for it. Let
us hear from our correspondents,
and others, on this subject. The
News-Herald Btands ready to do
its part.
The report is gaining ground in
Canada that the United States has
an eye on the Dominion, and will
annex it to the United States the
very first opportunity. Wouldn’t
be at all surprised. This republi
can administration will steal most
anything it can get its hands on.
Col. Geo. M. Napier has sold his
entire interest in the Walton News

will sustain its high standard as
one of Georgia’s best weeklies.
The war with Spain is over, and
the Paris peace treaty has been
signed. But it has not been rati
fied by the Senate, and is being
vigorously opposed by a number
of Senators. President McKinley
has had everything his own way
in dealing with the Spaniards,
but now that peace is declared his
troubles are just beginning.

1 S. Lafayette Almand, a promi

has gone wrong. He skipped out
a week or so ago for parte un
known, carrying with him trust
funds aggregating, it is said, $40,-
000. Detectives trailed him to
California, and he has been ar
rested. Almand was a high-roller
and will now suffer the conse
quences of his fast life.
Hon. E. T. Brown has been ap
pointed special attorney for the
state to look after the Western &
Atlantic railroad, by Gov. Can
dler, to succeed Col. Wimbish.
Mr. Brown was an ardent Candler
man during the campaign, and is
a protege of Col. Candler’s, known
by him from the ground up, and
his appointment is a well-earned
and deserved tribute to a brainy
young lawyer.
The Constitution throws this lit
tle boquet to Watkins, the sage of
Tickauetly, in its issue of Deo. 80:
Dr. Watkins, of Gilmer, the vet
eran representative, waß one of
Governor Candler’s callers yester
day. It is said that the doctor
has yielded to the wishes of his
friends and decided to make the
race for congress next time. He
will have the best wishes of his
fellow members if he does, for
there is no more popular man in
the general assembly.
The sovereignty of Cuba passed
from Spain to the United States
at noon Sunday. The form of the
transfer was simple,consisting only
of an exchange of speeches in the
salon of the palace, the hauling
down of the Spanish flag and the
raising in its stead of the flag of
the United States on the flagstaff
of the palace roof. Salutes were
fired from the heavy guns of the
forts and the warships before and
after the change of flags, The
raising of the stars and stripes was
greeted with cheers by the people,
who covered the roofs of the build
ings around the palace and plaza.
Mr. H.A. Pass, Bowman, Gh.,
writes:
“One of my children was very
delicate and we despaired of rais
ing it. For months my wife and
I could hardly get a night’s rest
until we began the use of Pitts’
Carminative. We found great re
lief from the first bottle.” Pitts’
Carminative acts promptly and
cures permanently. It is pleasuat
to the taste, and children take it
without coaxing. It is free from
ilrfurous drugs apd chemicals.
THE ORtOOK FOB 1S»».
The News-Herald greets its
many readers this week with
hearty good wishes for the new
year, and with the assurance that
better and brighter days are in
store for the country and the
grand old county of Gwinnett.
The year just closed has been
fraught with financial disaster to
many tl roaghout the country,
and the cry of “hard times” has
gone up from every quarter. The
low price of the south’s staple
product has depressed every ave
nue of trade and caused the plant
ers of the south to realize a great
danger unless they diversify their
crops. This they are going to do
in the future, and when the cus
tom becomes universal the south
will be the most prosperous sec
tion in America.
Competition and rivalry in the
manufacture of cptton goods is
slowly but surely driving the Amer
ican spinners to seek locations for
their mills in the south, and the
dawn of the new century—now so
close at hand—will witness a
gigantic movement ou the part of
the mill owners for locations in
the south, where their machinery
can be operated and goods manu
factured at the minimum cost.
Sectional hues are being oblitera
ted, and the north is beginning to
appreciate the economic advant
ages of the south.
The day of partisan politics is
drawing to a close, and men of
opposing paities are beginning to
judge each other by their merit
and true worth. Obviously this
condition is bound to result in
good to the governmeut and to the
people.
With our new possessions, ac
quired as a result of the war with
Spain, grave questions arise as to
their disposition and government.
Undoubtedly, the predominant
sentiment of the American people
favors holding on to the Philip
pines, Cuba, Porto Rico and all
the minor islands ceded to us by
the treaty of Paris. The differ
ences arising, both in the republi-
Ican and democratic parties, on
account of these new territories
mean a new alignment of parties,
and men heretofore the Biost par
tisan republicans may bo found
in the next presidential contest
the most ardent democrats, and
vice versa. It would not surprise
us in the least to see General Joe
Wheeler, of Alabama, nominated
for Vice President by the republi
cans on the ticket with McKinley.
In order to meet such a combina
tion, the democrats might put for
ward Admiral Dewey, of Vermont,
and Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia.
Be this as it may, one happy re
sult of the war is that all section
alism is obliterated, and in future
the political battles of the two
great parties are to be fought
without rancor and'bitterness.
The News-Herald enters the
new year with joyous anticipations
of the future. It has never been
its nature to look upon the dark
side or to take a pessimestic view
of its surroundings. Behind every
cloud the glint of the silver lining
has appeared, and with a determi
nation to surmount obstacles in
its way, it has moved forward iu
the past, conscious of its own
strength, and realizing the justice
of its attitnde toward its friends
and patrons. It has played no
favorites, but has treated every
body alike, and not one of its
readers has a just cause of com
plaint. With pride we can point
to the biggest and best circulation
enjoyed by any country paper in
the state, a circulation that has
been built up by hard work and
persistent and never flagging ef
fort by the editor, who eschews
the effete dignity of ancient jour
nalism and goes among the people
to gather in the names of those
who want their county paper.
Iu the future as in the past,
onr course shall be straight ahead,
with no favorites to play, but
every friend a favorite. Our aim
shall be to give the people a model
country weekly, one reflecting
credit upon ou r selves and in which
the county can feel a just pride.
Iu this laudable undertaking
we ask and expect the good will
and support of every good citizen
of the county.
If the democrats will play their
cards right they will win the pres
idency in 1900, hands down.
.Il’DflE S. 1.. HUTCHINS.
After 16 years of faithful duty
as judge of this circuit. Judge N.
L. Hutchins took his place in the
ranks as a private citizen last Sat
urday at midnight, his term of of
fice expiring at that hour.
During his long term of office
he has made a model judge, dis
charging every duty incumbent
upon him iu his high office with
painstaking care, and with such
patience as to win for him the re
spect and the love of every one
who has watched his official career.
Gentle as a woman in the court
room, yet he was as firm as ada
mantine in dealing with and re
viewing the questions that came
before him, his decisions always
being founded on law and justice,
as he saw them. The scales of
justice were balanced evenly iu
his hands, swervering not a jot or
a tittle to the right nor the left.
His record as a judge is made
up, and it is one that he should
well feel proud of. No judge has
ever occupied the bench iu this
state with fewer reversals from the
Supreme court than he. Now he
retires to the walks of private life
carrying with him the love and
respect of the people of the West
ern circvit, whom he has sorved so
faithfully.
Judge Hutchins will engage in
the practice of law, and will con
tinue to make Lawrenceville his
home.
ABE THEY AFTER THE FEES T
John Turner was arrested by the
revenue officers a few days ago
ftDd carried to Atlanta for an al
leged violation of the internal
revenue laws. Judge Broyles
bound him over to court on the
testimony of two little boys by
the name of Price, who swore
they saw Turner working in a dis
tillery. Turner claims that the
father of these boys has a grudge
against him and that the charges
have been trumped up against
him through malicious motives.
In speaking of the case the Con
stitution of Dec. 80th has the fol
lowing to say of these youthful
witnesses:
“The two youngsters, Oliver and
Marshall Price, were delighted at be
ing in the city, and told what they
knew of the case as they sucked with
gleeful delight on two large sticks of
peppermint candy. They evidently
felt the deepest gratitude toward Com
missioner Broyles for allowing them
to testify in the case, ana as a reward
for his kindness one of them, at the
conclusion of the trial, invited the
judge to have a piece of his candy.
Holding it out in the most generous
fashion, he said : “Mister Judge, won’t
you please take a bite or my candy—
it’s mighty good.”
Judge Broyles is not fond of candy
and begged to be excused. Bidding
the “Mister Judge” goodby, the two
young sleuths left to see the sights of
the'city before returning to their na
, tive heath.”
The only testimony introduced
against Mr. Turner was the state
ment of these two little boys,
scarcely out of their babyhood,
Mr. Turner and his friends are
indignant at what they claim is a
persecution, and say he will come
clear before the higner court. He
is an honest, hard-working young
man, bears a good reputation for
integrity, and has never been ac
cused or suspected of having any
thing to do with the illicit manu
facture or sale of whisky, and this
is the first time he was ever ar
rested iu his life on any charge.
It is evident that a gross injus
tice has been done this young man,
and surprise is manifested that
Judge Broyles should have bound
him over on the testimony of two
irresponsible little boys, who in
vited him to eat candy with them
on the trial of the case.
Here is a hard-working, honest
young mau who has beon dragged
from his home and forced to em
ploy a lawyer to defend him
against what looks to be a trump
ed up charge.
Of course, somebody is making
money out of his misfortune in
the way of witness fees, mileage,
etc., and if Judge Newman’s at
tention is called to the matter,
and if an investigation is set on
foot, the “nigger in the woodpile”
might be located.
This paper does not pretend to
excuse the violation of law in any
torm, but when one of t our citi
zens is dragged from his home on
a trumped up charge, founded on
the testimony of children, who,
in their babbling childishness, in
vite the Commissioner to eat can
dy with them while delivering
their evidence, it feels constrained
to enter a protest and invoke the
Judge of the higher court to call
a halt.
PREPARING TO PAV THE PENSIONS.
Pension Commissioner Richard
Johnson is hard at work prepar
ing the vouchers for the payment
of pensions to indigent Confeder
ate veterans. The legislature ap
propriated for this year $288,000
for indigent veterans and the dis
bursement of this money will be
gin on January 15th.
The appropriation is SBB,OOO
larger than it was for 1897 and
1898, and this constitutes most of
! the additional amount given to
’pensioners bv this legislature,
j The indigent pensioners receive S6O
a year each.
The widows of Confederate si 1-
dlers will be the second class to
receive pensions. Commissioner
Johnson expects to begin the pay
ment of their claims between the
Ist and the 15th of February. The
amount paid to this class is S6O
per annum and the appropriation
for this year is $280,000.
The payment of widow’s pen
sions will require three weeks, and
as soon as that work is completed
the payment of invalid pensions
will begin. The appropriation for
this class is $192,500, which is an
increase of $2,500 over the amount
appropriated for the year 1897 and
1898.
The amounts received by the in
valid pensioners range from $l5O
down, according to the extent of
the injury received in the service
of the Confederate government.
For total disability the maximum
amount is paid, and for other in
juries according to degree.
It is an interesting but a sad
fact, that as the veterans grow old
er, many of them with slight inju
ries are transferred to the indigent
list. As old age comes on it finds
them unable to work and without
means of support.
Mr. Johnson says it is an invari
able rule that a large number of
indigent pensioners are found iu
the vicinity of a large cottou fac
tory. Their wives and daughters
and sometimes their grand-chil
dren work in the factories, and the
old soldier hobbles along after
them, coming up to the county seat
once a year to get his indigent pen
sion.
It is also true that a good many
now on the roll of indigent pen
sioners would not think of apply
ing for payment under that head
when the appropriation was first
made. Seeing their neighbors do
so, they finally got over their re
pugnance to be considered indi
gent.
The law provides that the coun
ties shall provide food and shelter
for any Confederate soldier who
cannot provide for himself, and
says they shall not be sent to the
alms house.
If the counties perform this du
ty and the state adds S6O a year
for each of them, they will be
fairly well provided for in their
old age.
The average age of indigent pen
sioners, as shown by Commission
er Johnson’s record, is 68 years,
and they were 80 years old when
the war began.—Atlanta Journal.
“Aomira! Dewey’s cabin aboard
the Olympia,” writes John T.
McCutcheon to the Chicago Rec
ord, “is filled with presents from
bis admirers, including souvenirs
of all kinds. Some of the most
beautiful of these are presents
from Aguinaldo. The dictator has
the greatest admiration and re
spect for Dewey, and has a singu
lar habit of making an elaborate
gift to the admiral whenever the
latter ‘calls him down.’ That ac
counts largely for the number of
Aguinaldo’s presents that adorn
the cabin. In all the dealings
Admiral Dewery has had with
Aguinaldo he has treated him
with the greatest courtesy when
courtesy was called for, and with
the greatest severity when firm
ness was the thing; .but, in spite
of the rebuffs, Aguinaldo’s notes
accomganying the presents inva
riably refer to the admirable as
‘my honorable and illustrious
friend.”
The Fig at Caney.
On July 1, 1898, when the bat
tle at Caney was hottest, a curious
commotion among the Spanish sol
diers was visible in one of the
trenches which defended the town.
These trenches were all en the
outskirts of the town, and fre
quently were immediately iu front
of buildings. The place was in
habited at the time of the attack,
and bulloßts and shells went fly
ing through the flimsy houses.
There were several horses in the
town, some of which were seen
rushing about the streets during
the bombardment. There were a
few cattle, including a superb bull
kept for the permormances in the
bull ring at Santiago, near by.
This fine animal was uninjured
during the fight; but he was “loot
ed” by the Cubans aftet the town
was taken, and ignominiously led
by the nose to the main Cuban
camp, to be slaughtered for food
for the insurgent soldiers.
There were also animals of an
other sort, as the iucideut to
which allusion has been made
proved. American soldiers on the
nearest line saw a half-grown pig
oome running out of a low thatch
ed building inside the Spanish
trencnes. and rounding a corner
of the ditch, take to flight out
side the trenches, in the direc
tion of the American position.
Evidently he had been lodged
under the thatch-roofed house
just behind the trench, in the free
and-easy domestic manner iu
which'Cuban pigs are generally j
taken care of. A bullet or a shell
had envaded his retreat, shattered
his enclosure, set him free, aiid
scarred him almost to death at
the same time.
The Spanish soldiers ceased
their firing as the pig escaped, and
there was commotion amng them.
Presently this commotion resolved
itself into a rush of severel sol
diers out of the trench, and in the
direction of the pig. Soon there
were fifteen of them out in the
open, in the full sweep of the
American fire.
Some of them ran to head off
the pig, and others rushed up be
hind to catch him. The pig
wheeled and dodged, and the sol
diers ufter him. Their voices rose
in a chorus of Spariish shouts.
Up and down went the pig; when
a soldiers hands were on him we
would make a twist and wriggle
himself away.
Once he made a leng run
straight toward the American
lines; it did not help him, for the
soldiers were after him, entirely
unregarding the battle. Some of
them headed him off again, and
in another moment an athletic
young soldier had seized first his
tail and then his legs. Still an
other moment, and the pig, firm
ly held, was on his way back to
the trenches, riding on the shoul
der of this young man, his fore
legs gripped by one hand and his
hind legs by the other.
The soldiers resumed their pla
ces in the trench; the one who
had the pig put him back into the
thatch-roofed building and pres
ently returned to his own place
and took up his gun.
It is safe to say that during the
chase of the pig no American sol
dier who saw the affair discharged
his gun at the group. The Amer
icans who sas it were to full of ad
miration and astonishment to
add to the dangers which the au
dacious Spaniards were under;
but thousands of Americans who
could not see the incident were
blazing away in that direction,
and the Spaniards who were chas
ing the pig must have heard a
great many bullets whistling
about their ears during their per
formance.
The Americans who were within
view of the occurrence were con
firmed by it m the opinion, which
they had begun to form already,
that the people at home who had
told them that the Spaniards
were cowards did not know what
they were talking abont.
A Happy Marriage.
Editor News-Herald: Allow
me space to tell your readers of a
quiet home wedding the writer had
the honor of attending on Christ
mas day, that of Mr. David Knight
to Miss Ora Nix, at the home of
the bride’s father,Ephriam T. Nix,
iu Rockbridge district, which oc
curred at 4 o’clock p. m. Dec. 25,
1898. It was one of the most
beautiful weddings the writer ever
attended. Long before the hour,
the friends of both the contract
ing parties who had the honor of
an invitation, about 75 in number,
gathered at the home of Mr. Nix.
Promptly at 4 o’clock the con
tracting parties were ushered out
on the veranda, where all could
see, by Clint Langford, (who is
always ready to make himself use
ful as well as ornamental) to face
Esq. Johnson and Esq. Pate.
Esq. Johnson, in arvery impressive
but short manner, pronounced
them man and wife, the attend
ants being Mr. Arb Rawlins and
Miss Rena Harris. As they stood
there the writer recalled the words
of one of Georgia’s ex-governors,
“The noblest handiwork of God is
a womanly woman,” and thought
how true iu this case.
Though mistletoe and holly
were in abundance, there was no
decoration necessary, for surround
ed by a bevy of beautiful girls
aud a crowd of gallant young men,
ever ready to do homage at the
shrine of beauty, ’twas enough.
We pass on. The table was 8
legged; the turkey weighed 18
pounds; the ham was delicious;
the cakes, etc., were such as no
bachelor on earth could imitate;
the invitation was to every one,
and while we did not hear the
table groan, as other writers would
say, we groaned with colic, and
five tablefulls had preceded rs,
aud we fear that our friend Wil
burn Nix, suffered likewise.
Mr. Knight is a son of Mr. John
Knight, one of the staunchest cit
izens of Rockbridge district. Miss
Nix is worthy the love of any
young mau, though he were of
royal liueage, and we predict for
'hem a life of usefulness.
Mr. Knight will take charge of
Caleb’s school Monday morning.
There are other weddings, but
we will leave them for the local
correspondent to tell you of.
Keno.

The year just closed has been in
many respects annas mirabilis,
not only in our domestic and in
ternational affairs but in meteoro
logical conditions. One happy
condition of affairs is the hiatus
betweeu the north and south ap
pears to be closed, and it is hoped
forever. Our country now appears
to enter upon a new era.
Recently Mr. Earnest Mason, of

Snead, of Bermuda, Were united in
marriage. Three couples near this
place have been slated to marry
about Christmas, but their nup

having taken place yet.
Miss Mattie Minor, the lovely
daughter of Dr. J. R. Minor, who
has been bed-ridden for nearly a

should not deter people in ,edu

There remains in the fields much

has been so unfavorable for the
last six months that people en
gaged on farms cannot keep abreast

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Late Literary Notts.
To have the men who have demon
strated their organizing: ability by
great business successes tell their se
crets of organization, is the object of
the editor of The Cosmopolitan. That
he is succeeding, is proved in the Jan
uary issue by the article Irom Charles
R. Flint, who is regarded in New York
as one of the three or four ablest or
ganizers in America. He is president
of the Rubber Trust and the head of
the great mercantile house of Flint,
Eddy <fc Co., which has its ramifica
tions in almost every port of the world.
Mr. Flint tells very openly what makes
for success in the organization of busi
ness. Uis article may be read with in
terest by the Rockefellers.the Armours
and the Wanamakers as well as by the
humblest clerk seeking to fathom the
secret of business success.
In the same line js an article, also in
the January Cosmopolitan, telling how
Mr. Platt organized and conducted the
campaign for the election of Roosevelt,
It is oy a gentleman who was actively
engaged at the republican headqnart
ers during the campaign, and who
gives a vivid picture of the perfection
to which political organization has
been carried in New York State by
the most astute of managers. The
wary old Senator who has been a life
time in politics and the youngest po
litical aspirant will alike find food
for reflection in Mr Wythe's article.
