The News-Herad. Entered at Lawrenceville poetoflice eecood'ClaM matter. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY Oicial Organ Gwinnett County. Uirwceitlle Publishing Co., Proprietors. W. O-. McHelley, Kdltor. The Cubans are too sensitive to be capable of self-government. Kx-Senator Gorman, of Mary land, is a presidential possibility on the democratic side. He is a strong man The News-Herald for 1899 will be brighter, breezier and better than ever. If you want your money’s worth, subscribe now. Uncle Sam has banished the Spaniards from Cuba, and now the uext thing in order is to lick the Cubans, who are incapable of self-government. What about a Fair for this good year? If one is to be held now’s 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 to his partner, Wm. F. Upshaw, who assumes complete charge this week. The fraternity will miss Bro. Napier, but in the versatile pen of Editor Upshaw, the 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. k Fill Byrd, of Rome, has been Mpointed Adjutant-General by Hnr. Candler. But as the legisla- K cut oil the appropriation to Hthi soldiers, the salary of th»- K will be but a mockery to the MB ted exchequer <>f a p.,or eoun ggßditnr. The Governor should |Hb given Fill a job with more ■Rt and bread and less empti- Kss about it. 1 S. Lafayette Almand, a promi nent young merchant of Conyers, 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. KILLIAN HILL. Special to THE NEWS. A happy New Year to all. L. M. Phillips has moved to Braden.

May theirs be a happy life. Mr. Hiram Clark, an aged citi zen, passed away on Christmas Eve. A cancer on his face was the cause of his death. He was a member of Mount Vernon Baptist church. GARNER. Special to THE NEWS. 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 near Centerville, and Miss Eva Snead, of Bermuda, Were united in marriage. Three couples near this place have been slated to marry about Christmas, but their nup tials have not been announced as having taken place yet. Miss Mattie Minor, the lovely daughter of Dr. J. R. Minor, who has been bed-ridden for nearly a year under the treatment of phy sicians, has recently had a serious turn for the worse. It is now thought she cannot survive long. Miss Kate Pickens will com mence her school at Garner Acad emy in a few- daysso will Prof. T. S. Garner at Pleasant Grove. Both are very able and efficient teachers, and it is hoped the public will not be indifferent in patronizing them liberally. The cry of hard times should not deter people in ,edu cating their children. There remains in the fields much co.ton to pick yet. The weather has been so unfavorable for the last six months that people en gaged on farms cannot keep abreast with their work. On the whole, taking everything into considera tion, the farmers have done well. In past years I have witnessed much cotton picked in February, but not in this state. DACULA. Special to THE NEWS. Christmas passed off quietly. Da cula had only two or three rough and tumble fights. Mrs. W. H. Rucbannan has built a new store, and will open up a nice line of milinery at once. J. A.

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.
