The News=Herald. Centered at L*wrenceville ;pof>toffice a* geoono-rlaM matter. PUBLISHED F.VKKY FRIDAY Olciil Organ Giiniett County. LavractYille Pablisbing Co., Proprietors. v/. Q. McMelley, Editor. Tbe Atlanta Constitution is a little wobbly on the subject of lvuching negroes here of late. The fact that many Filipinos | are killed and few are taken cap tives hes lead to suspicions that our soldiers are killing all they come upon. The truth :s, prob ably, the dead ones are the only ones our soldiers can catch. Henry George’s followers in New York celebrated the birthday of Thomas Jefferson at a big din ner and with many speeches. This is a free country, but it looks as if there should be some way to limit libels upon our dead states men. The Atlanta Journal scored a great triumph in reporting tbe Hose lynching at Newnan last Sunday. Every feature of the aw ful tragedy was given in detail, and with such vividness were the pen pictures drawn that ono could al most see the contortions of the negro brute, as he sizzed above the blazing torches. The Journal is certainly a live paper, and never gets left. The baptism of fire visited on the negro rapist and murderer at Newnan last Sunday should be a grim warning to others of his race that just so sure as they commit Buch diabolical crimes as Hose was guilty of, just so sure will terrible vengeance overtake them. While lynch law is, under any and all circumstances, deplorable, when such black brutes as Hose invade the homes of white men with murder and rapine in their hearts, nothing short of burning them at the stake is adequate pun ishment. The process of law in the oourts, “grinding slow but ex ceeding fine,” is not swift enough. Like the lightning’s stroke, the swift messenger of fate must overtake these brutes, and they will either burn or swing from a limb every time they com mit their hellish crime. And no amount of sophistry from the pul pit, or edicts from the bench, or legislation from the State Capi tols, can stay tbe hand of ven geance while these crimes are com mitted. Tho only way to stop the lynching of negroes is for the ne gro himself to stop his crimes against white women. THI LYNCHING OK SAM HOSK. The capture and summary exe cution of Sam Hose, us horrible as this whole story is from start to finish, is another confirmation of the fact that rapists canuot commit their awful crimes i»i this country, and escape. Whether in Georgia or Maine the brute that assails iu this horrible man ner a female will find that he will be treated as a wild and fero cious beast. The Telegraph has never been the advocate or the apologist for lynch law, but in the face of such a crime as was com mitted Sam Hose at Palmetto no man or men can stem the in dignation of the people who have the opportunity to visit summary punishment of the most dire kind upon the criminal. This whole affair emphasises the truth of the position taken iu some words receutly addressed to a bish op of the negro church by The Tel egraph. Whatever faults may lie at the door of individual white meu, whatever may be their prej udices or short comings, this is their country, and they are going to protect their homes. The al leged race problem is the negro’s problem —it is more theirs than the white man’s. This fact we have sought to impress upon the more enlightened of the race of negroes. It is for them to deal with it. It is for their churches, and conventions and congresses to take it up, and put a check upon the ravishers. The way to stop . lynching* is to put a atop to the crime which brings it on. We do not contend that the leading ne groes can fully accomplish it, but they can show their good inten tions by making a determined ef fort. We have heard of no such effort. One involuntaply turns from the sickening details as they come from Palmetto and elsewhere, but what is to be done about it? Will not the leading and intelligent ne groes of the country take hold of these matters in the right way, and seek a right solution. —Macon Telegraph. As a brick fell from a carriers' hod it knocked down a Spanish flag displayed from a store front below. “That must have been an American brick,” said one who was Pft ' 8 -Yis K ,“'said the hod-carrier “but it was of Oirish descint ” LOC-A.L NEWS. A Card From Mr Thomai. Auburn, Ga., April 24, '9O. Editor News-Herald: I wish to reply to L. F. Jackson’s base accusations against me. He tells my friends that the cause of my trouble was not known by him until recontly. In that he is just simply mistaken. It began in 1891, and has grown from bad to worse. It was not made known to the world until recently, and would neve! have been made known had he been disposed to do anything like the right in the matter. Jackson thinks, or pretends to make others think, I don’t know anything in regard to the case, but I do; I’m in possession of facts that condemn him and oth ers. The best thing Jackson can do is to stop his pen and hush his mouth. He talks about “the spir it of fraternal love.” What’s an obligation worth to any man des titute of principle ? He speaks of “restoration to health,” He is in a great degree responsible for my present illness. He states in his article that “the flesh says ‘ex pose.’ ” Yes, the flesh has exposed him. He talks about “the spirit of right.” Do you think the spirit of right would jail an innocent man ? He is willing to murder me iu character and reputation to conceal the faults of others. He says he hopes he will not be forced to make matters public. What do you think of a man that adver tises a brother in the Lawrence ville News-Herald and Atlanta Constitution and accuses him of being crazy, when there was no cause for it ? And yet he says he doesn’t want to make anything public. Such is the work of hyp ocrite. He claims that he has done nothing but his duty. I suppose he thinks it his duty to destroy happiness. He has caused my life to be wrecked, my past experience to be sad and the fu ture dark. Ts the good citizens where I’ve been at work for the last five years will say that I have been demented all the while, then I’ll yield; otherwise I’ll not. Dear friend, my happiness is destroyed, but I still have a high apprecia tion for TRUTH, MORALITY AND Christianity. I hope I’ll not be forced to state anything more in the paper, for the sake of my good parents, brothers and sisters, who feel so deeply the pangs of these publications. But before I’ll do what Jackson and some others want me to do, I’ll stand by and see my own grave dug, have my head severed from my body, and be buried by friend or foe, rather than forsake the truth. Respectfully, W. H. Thomas. SUWANEE. Special to THE NEWS. The High School picnic that was given at Strickland's mill last Friday was greatly enjoyed by all present.

Col. L. F. McDonald was called down in Rockbridge district to defend Alvin Braswell, col,, on a peace warrant sworn out by S. P. Williams. The warrant was dis missed. Some sneaking person carried a dog near Bud Shell’s house last Thursday night between 9 o’clock and day, and killed it. The mo tive must either have been to throw the suspicion off themselves or to raise the negro’s passion to do some injury, for it was a ne gro’s dog. By tracks and circum stantial evidence the guilty party is recognized. The killing of the dog was the cause of Col. McDon ald’s having to comedown. KILLIAN HILL. Special to THE NEWS.

Han SICK Han well I Many persons have their good day and their bad day. Others are about half sick all the time. They have headache, backache, and are restless and nervous. Food does not taste good, and the digestion is poor; the skin is dry and sallow and disfigured with pimples or eruptions; sleep brings no rest and work la a burden. What is the cause of all this? Impure blood. And the remedy? It clears out the channels through which poisons are carried from the body. When all impurities are removed from the blood nature takes right hold and completes the cure. If there is constipation, take Ayer’s Pills. They awaken the drowsy action of the liver; they cure biliousness. Wrflm fa our Doctor- We iiave the exclusive services of •Otue of the Boat eintuent physician* In the United States.

Athens, Ga., April 20. —Judge Russell went after the sports in a lively manner last night. Seven or eight of the boys entered pleas of guilty, and Judge Russell im posed fines amounting in the ag gregate to $1,890. There are Btil! a number of cases of this nature to ba passed on by the judge, and the grand jury has been busy for several days returning bills Mrs. Thos. E. Watson. An exchange publishes the fol lowing very interesting statement concerning Mrs. Thomas E. YY’at son: “Discoveries of babies amid the scenes of war and death are by no means uncommon. During the American civil war a notable in stance occurred. A baby, beauti fully dressed, was found by the Confederate troops in the debat able region along the Potomac during the heat of the strife. There was nothing to identify the infant, or tell the side to which its parents had belonged. Event ually a Confederate soldier ob tained leave to adopt the girl—for a girl it happened to be—and, at the earliest opportunity, she was sent by means of a mule trans port corps to his wife’s home iu Georgia. After the war, adver tisements were inserted iu northern and southern newspapers regard ing the child, but nobody came forward to claim her. She grew up into a handsome and clever woman, and a few years ago mar ried Thomas E. Watson, of Geor gia, who was the populist candi date for the vice-presidency in the last election. Mrs. Watson be lieves that her parents were con federate sympathizers and that they perished during the war.” “The Govenorof South Dakota,” says the Morning News, “has now raised a question which may give the president some trouble. He insists that the South Dakota vol unteers now in the Philippines shall be brought home. The point he makes is s strong one. It is that the South Dakota men enlist ed to fight for humanity against Spain, that the war with Spain is ended, and that, therefore, their obligations to the government is fulfilled. He insists that to re tain these imn in the service against their will be a violation of the law by authority’ of which they enlisted, and is unconstitu tional. He also condeniß the ad ministration for carrying on a war iu the Philippines for which there is neither reason nor ex cuse.” The Brd Georgia, Col. Berner’s regiment, paraded in Angus a the other day and was given a great ovation. Speaking of the line of march, as it passed the Confeder ate monument, the Chronicle says: “When Col. Berner came to the monument erected to th- 1 Confed erate dead he saluted the marble statues of Lee and Jackson, Cobb and Walker, as though they were the reviewing officers; and as each company passed the men marched with their pieces at ‘port arms., The national and regimental col ors were dipped by tlie color ser genuts. “The marble features of the! statues of the great Confederate leaders seemed to bear a smile of approval as the southern regi ment, in the uniform of the army they bad opposed, passed at their feet.” Elsie's Efforts. Elsie is 8 years old and attends No. 8 school, says the Rochester Herald. The other day her teach er told h> r to wite a fifteen-word composition in which should ap pear the word '‘delight.” Elsie went, home that night and managed to lie awake most of the uight thinking of the composition she was expected to hand into her teacher in the morning. After much hard work the little tot completed the task, but only afler a fashion. This is what she sub mitted to her teacher when asked for the composition: “Jimmie is my brutlir. He ain’t a weary gud boy ’cause the odder day mama tole him to shut the dore be didn’t do it and de wind blue out delight.” A well known chemest states that a surprising number of well to do young ladies have taken to buying the various forms of doc tored up coca extracts (cocaine) in large quantities, also phensce- Jine and various bromides, because “they make one feel so nice and happy.” It is needless to say that such practices are exceedingly ris ky. Perhaps, however, they are preferable to another extremely foolish trick —that of sniffing chlo roform dropped on a handkerchief, with the object of producing a | pleasant, dreamy languor.—New !

Very few remedies claim to cure such real, deep-seated blood diseases as 8. S. S. cures, and none can offer-such incontrovertible evidenceof merit. S 8. 8. is not merely a tome—it is a cure I It goes down to the very seat of all blood diseases, and gets at the foundation of the very worst cases,and routsthe poison from the system. Itdoes not, like other remedies, dry up the poison and hide it from view temporarily, only to break forth again more violently than ever; 8. 8. S forces out every trace of taint, and rids the system of it forever. Mrs.T. W.

I was covered with sores and J ulcers from head to foot, and in my greatextremity I prayed to die.
