PI'BI.ISHKD EVERY FRIDAY Official Organ Gwinnett Couiu.y. LairenceYille Publishing Co., Proprietor^. "ViT. G-. JMcNsll©y» Editor. Jerusalem Christian w;.ion Kirsion- It has been my privilege for sev eral years to he in persona! corres pondence with the founder of this missionary undertaking, Rev. Ah salom Ben Oliel, who, together with his faithful wife and daugh ters, are laboring among the Jews iu the City of the Great King in Palestine. It is proper to men tion that ho is a man endowed with great learning, thoroughly ac quainted with Jewish economy, Talmudic lore, and thoroughly un derstands the Hebrew Scriptures in the originals, and with such in formation he is prepared to an swer all questions or meet any ar gument from the learned Rabbis. His method is to take up the Scrip tures and show by the prophesies that their fulfilment is accom plished in the New Testament,and that Christ could have been no other than the Son of God, the promised one to Israel. Under his ministerial efforts several have professed conversion, and now re joice in their Savior, among whom may be mentioned the sou of the Chief Rabbi at Jerusalem, who, to avoid persecution, had to flee the city, and iie is now in this coun try preparing for the Christian ministry. The Jews at the present day are divided in two main branches, known as the Sephardim and Ash k nazim, the former being of the royal tribe of Judah, who were ex pelled from Spain under the ty ranny of her priestly influenced rulers; the latter are of the tribe of Benjamin, of which was old brother Paul, and include those Jews of Germany, Austria, Poland and Russia. Of these two respect ive branches it is said the Sephar dim are the most aristocratic in manners, and it is intimated thov are more approachable to the Gos pel. There are now in round nutn be.s about 120,000 Jews in I’alas tiue, including both branches above named, and a few others of minor tribes, and between 40,000 and 60,000 in the city of Jerusa lem. To the Christian the Jew must ever hold a tender place in the em brace of his feelings and affections. They are God’s ancient people. To them were the Oracles of God com mitted. Of them were the Holy Prophets. To them God manifest ed Himself in various wavs,making known through them the riches of His grace, pow er and majesty to a darkened world. They are the kinsmen of Peter, Paul and John, and “of whom Christ cams, who iH over all, God blessed forever.” To use a metaphorical term of St. Paul, they are the root of the good Olive tree that supports the branch es —the church. If, then, because of unbelief some of the branches are broken off and that which is wild by nature grafted in and par takes of the fatness of the root, let not such branches grow boast ful and begin to chide the broken branches, but live in fear, love and humility, and have a tender, lov ing regard for even the broken branches. For God is able to graft them in again, and will do so in the fullness of time. Ho has said so by His Holy Prophets, and what He says He will accomplish. What the Jew needs is the Gos- pel. His right to it is one of pri ority. There have always been among the Jews a remnant, as Paul Bays, who prove faithful to the trusts of Christianity. Now, let Christians be not unmindful to show a willing support of the Gos pel among .Tews, in holding up the hands of those who are preaching to them, leaving the result to God. Money spent in this way, in my opinion, is to as good, or 1 may say to a better, purpose than in many es the foreign missionary enterprises, or even Home Mis sions. Notwithstanding the Gos pel is to be preached to thej whole world but it is to the Jew first. Now, our old brother in Jerusa lem in a late letter to me makes it known that he is in need of addi tional funds. He asks me to let it be known to Christians in my community and country. Any large 'or small pecuniary offering they' may feel like making will be accepted. It mav be sent through mysplf, or direct to Rev. A. Ren Oliel, Jerusalem, Palestine, Tur key, in Asia. Reader, remember what the Psalmist said: “Pray for the peace ot Jerusalem; they shall prosper that love thee.” P. L. Hampton, Garner, Ga.

Editor N ews-Herald : We beg t l at you give us a little space in the News-Herald to solicit tne sympathy and earnest and hearty co-operation of every good person in Gwinnett county, and the sin cere prayers of Christian people everywhere. The dark clouds of the Spanish- American war have just been swept from our political, moral and re ligious skies, and the glorious sun shine of righteousness, peace aud prosperity is just about to dawn upon our bright, beautiful land, but we see the dark, angry aud lowering clouds of dissipation gathering* thick and fast; wo see the vivid lightning of the human passion and appetite as they (lash untold misery acrosß our imagina tion, and we can hear the rumbling of the mighty thunder that is pent up in the intoxicating cup, warn ing vis of the approaching danger of the mightest enemy to the hu man soul, and one that would overthrow all law, and defeat all justice, and would throttle aud rupture the very foundations of our government if possible. It behooves us, therefore, to muster out all our forces and present a solid phalanx. The enemy is not just iu our community—in our county. What is true in our county is, no doubt, true iu every county in the Btate that has “gone dry.” What is true in our com munity is true iu every communi ty in Gwinnett county. We know that the laws against the manu facture and sale of intoxicating liquors are being violated every day right in our midst, greatly to the discomfort of every good citi zen, to the injury of the morals of our town and community, and therefore, to tlie detriment of our present and future prosperity. We have deemed it our privilege anil duty to organize a “Law and Order League,” at this place, the object of which is to enforce the law at all hazards, and we earnest ly beg that every community in the county will organize and co operate with us in the enforcement of the law. Let ns go to the courts and ask the officers to put just such fines aud punishments as will lessen crimes. At our last meeting we adopted the following resolutions: “Resolved, Ist, That we look with horror upon the crimes that are rife in our laud today. That we most emphatically condemn any and all violations of law, as being unwise, aud against the peace and good order of our com munity, and against the very hope of the country, the youths of the land. Such crimes sow the seed of discord, and perpetuate every other vice and crime, and bring untold misery into this world, and in the next, eternal death. “Resolved, 2nd, That we look with contempt and horror upon the man who will so far forget or trifle with his own iuterest, aud seek to destroy ours, by violating these laws. Resolved, 3rd, That we mutual ly pledge our best efforts to put a stop to such violations. That we will spare neither means nor labor which may be necessary to accom plish this purpose. “Resolved 4th, That we look to thorough and rigid enforcement of the law as being the only effectual remedy against this great evil, and to secure such enforcement, we most earnestly invite, request and solicit the sympathy and hearty co-operation and support of every good citizen, and especially the of ficials of this town. “United we stand, divided we fall.” E. G. Ware, Pres’t. John E. Lowe, Sec’t, Ex-Judge Berry, of the city court of Atlauta, died at his home in Newnan Tuesday. Charlotte was visited by a de structive fire last week, entailing a loss of between 1300,000 and $400,000. Headache Is often a warning that the liver Is torpid or inactive. More serious troubles may follow. For a prompt, ellicient cure of Headache and all liver troubles, take Hood’s Pills While they rouse the liver, restore full, regular action of the bowels, they do not gripe or pain, do not irritate or inflame the internal organs, but have a positive tonic effect. 25c. at all druggists or by mail of C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. Granted a New Trial Sam Smith, the negro who was convicted nl the fall term of Gwin nett Superior court of the killing of Jim Coker, in Harbins district, has been granted a new trial. Tlie decision of the Supreme court iu the oase is as fallows; Little, J—l The evidence did not warrant a charge of voluntary manslaughter. 2. The fact that cue who has done an act which may amount to a crime immediately flees may al ways he given iu evidence as ten ding to show guilt, but should al ways be considered by the jury in connection with the motive that prompted it, and at most, is only one of a series of circumstances from which guilt may be inferred. 8, The provisians of law relating (o justifiable homicide, where the parties had been engaged in mu tual combat, contained in section 78 of the criminal cade, were not applicable to the facts of this case. 4. When two or more persons manifestly intend and endeavor in a riotous and tumultuous manner to enter the habitation of another for the purpose of assaulting or offering personal violence to any one being therein, and one of them, to prevent such injury, is killed by the occupant of the house, if the circumstances were sufficient to excite the fears of a reasonable man that such entry was intended, and the killing was done under the influence of such fears, such a hom icide is justifiable, even though the assault or personal violence inten ded be less than a felony and a charge that the assault intended must amount to a felony was er ror. Judgement reversed. All the justices concurring. John R. Cooper, Oscar Brown and J. A. Perry, for plaintiff in error. C.H. Brand, solicitor general, contra. SNELLVILLE.

They have applied for a patent, and will make them on a large scale. While riding along the road near Trip recently one farmer said he was not going to buy guano until the price fell—that he was not obliged to have it, etc. We presume that it has fallen upon that declaration, as we see that a uumber of our farmers have their guano at home.

Since the present winter set in we have had all kinds of weather that the weather forecaster could predict; warm, cold, rains and heavy downpours, sleets, snows, blustering winds aud heavy storm£, intermingled with lightning and heavy* thunder. The smallpox setre has about subsided through the country. There have been several cases of it about Lithonia, some at Stone Mountain and intermediate places. All are about over it and no new cases are reported. Mrs. Johnson, a widow lady well advanced in years, is at the present time lying critically ill at the home of her son-in-law, George Street, near Redan. For some time she has been troubled with a chron ic ailment that has drawn largely upon her strength, and whether she can pull through tbe present affliction is thought doubtful. Work to some extent is begin ning on farms, although the con dition of the weather up to the present time has been such as to only admit of small beginning,such as cleaning up stalk land, cutting sprouts, etc. The ground has nev er been in plowing order. During times like the present which have prevailed for a lew Little Pimples Turn to Cancer. Cancer often results from an im purity in the blood, inherited from generations back.
