The distillery of John M. Swords
which was seized bv the revenue
officials recently on account of
alleged infractions of the revenue
laws, will start up agrin about the
first of June. Mr. Seymour, the
guager, has exhonorated Mr.
Swords from any wroug, and says
the increased capacity discovered
by the revenue officers was allowed
by him (the guager) on account
of failure for several days to make
the capacity at which the distillery
was registered. The matter seems
to have been compromised in
some way, and the distillery will
start up again under the same
management as heretofore.

A Subject For Judge Lynch.
A black negro boy naineil Gilbert
Morris, who worked for W. R. Britt, on
Tom Ambrose’s farm, is in jail, charged
with a serious crime.
The complainant is a white woman,
the wife of W. P. Benton, who relates a
story of shocking indecency and sug
gestive jestures committed by the ne
gro while at work in a field near her
house Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Benton
was away from home at the time. On
his return a warrant was sworn out
against Morris before Judge Mills
I charging him with the offense of pub
lic indecency. Judge Mills held the
prisoner in a bond of SIOO, which he
failed to give, and was committed to
jaii.
NEGRO RIOT AT BUFORD.
One Man Killed and Three Wounded.
Saturday night at a late hour a crowd
of negro gamblers got into a row at
Buford, in which one man was killed
and three wounded.
Bill McWhorter, a worthless negro
roundabout, was the one killed. Phil
lip Hunt was shot in the heel, Ike
Dortch in the thigh and Berry Daniel
in the hip. The uegro who did the
shooting is named Warren Hunter,
and has made his escape.
McWhorter was shot through the
stomach, and lingered until Monday*
when he died.
No effort was made to arrest Hunter
until McWhorter died, and then it was
found that he had taken flight.
No inquest was held over the remains
of the dead negro, as Coroner Wilson
did not receive notification of the ne
gro’s death until Wednesday morning,
when a postal card was received in
forming him of the tragedy. It was
then too late, as the dead man had been
buried.

TO WRITE INSURANCE.
Mr. C. M. Furlow, of Madison, to Locate
in Lawrenoeville For a Few Days,
The News-Herald welcomes to
our city Mr. C. M. Furlow, of
Madison, Ga., ex-postmaster of
that place, and formerly editor
of the Madisonian and the Adver
tiser, respectively. Mr. Furlow
spent several days in Lawrence-J
ville this week .in the interest of
the lowa Life Insurance Company,
of Sioux City and Chicago, 111.
He is a special representative of
the above named company, and
was so pleased with the outlook
here that he has decided to return
next week,.and will remain several
days.
The law' of lowa requires
of every regular Life Insurance
Company organized 11 that state
a deposit with the Auditor of State
of approved securities amounting
to THE NET CASH VALUE of all the
policies which they have issued
and in force at the.end of every
year. Therefore, all policy-hold
ers in an lowa Company are fully
secured, wherever they may reside
or become insured.
The lowa Life complies with
this law, having already hundreds
of thousand of dollars on deposit
in the state vaults of lowa to the
credit of its policy holders.
No man could come more highly
recommended than does Mr. Fur
low, aud he will doubtless be suc
cessful in interesting our people
on the important matter of insur
ance. We ask our people to give
him a respectful hearing.

Negroes Hold a Secret Meeting.
The Lawrenceville negroes were in
secret session at their hall here Tuesday
night. One of their number has given
it out that they were '‘plotting against
the whites.” Our citizens are not at
all alarmed,but are getting their Win
chesters in good trim, ready for any
outbreak that may occur. There are
several mean and insolent negroes here
under survillance of the authorities,
and at the first sign of danger they
will be looked after by the white citi
zens who have the safety and good or
der of this community at heart.
LOGANVILLE, GA-
The editor paid a hurried business
trip to the flourishing little city of Lo
ganville one day last week.
Loganvifle is situated in one of the
prettiest and most fertile farming sec
tions of the state, and the growing
crops of corn and cotton look very
promising indeed.
Sales of fertilizers by the dealers
there have aggregated about 2,000 tons
this season, indicative of a big cotton
crop for that section next fall. It is
predicted that something in the neigh
borhood of 10,000 baies will be shipped
over the Loganville & Lawrenceville
Railroad next season.
The business men of Loganville are
wide-awake to the future interests of
their town, and are pulling together
for its upbuilding. They have the ut
most confidence in its future growth
and prosperity, and are bending their
energies in the onward march of im
provement.
D. Y. Hodges & Co.are doing a very
satisfactory business, their trade from
month to month showing gains. They j
are enterprising, progressive, wide- ]
awake business men, just such as build i
up a town. They have taken, in con
nection with Oscar Bennett, and other
business men of the town, enough
stock to erect a large and commodious
warehouse, which is to be completed in
time for next season’s cotton business.
Every business man in the town is in
terested in this enterprise, which in
sures its success.
Several new residences are in course
of erection in different parts of (he
town. Mr. D. Y. Hodges is building
himself a handsome modern cottage on
Monroe street, which will add much to
that part of town when completed.
Mr. J. P. liockmore is preparing to
build a large brick or stone storehouse
on a corner lot on the principal busi
ness street, which will be completed in
time for the fall business.
Mr. Chapman’s new brick drug store
is nearing completion, and soon will be
stocked with a complete line of drugs
and toilet articles.
The prospects for the development
of the immense granite quarries atMc-
Elvaney’s mill, near Loganville, are
very encouraging, and it is confident
ly expected that by next fall the big
ballast crushers of the S. A. L. will be
moved to that point. Col. Nathan Ben
nett has been up to Portsmouth in con
ference with the officials of the road
relative to the matter, and from his
satisfied look it is quite evident that he
feels sanguine of success in the end,
though he prudently refrains from
talking about it. He is one of the best
business men of the good old county of
Gwinnett, modest as a woman and as
honest as man is ever made. TheS.A.
L. officials have great confidence in any
statement made by Mr. Bennett, and
through his influence and other lead
ing citizens of Loganville, have become
interested in that sectiou, and it goes
without saying that they will become
potent factors i’p the development of
Loganville and surrounding section in
the near future.
All in all, Loganville has bright pros
pects ahead of it, and we predict that
within the next five years it will de
velop into one of the most prosperous
manufacturing towns in the south.

Industrial Agency Picnic at Carl.
The Industrial Agency of the
S. A. L. held a picnic at Carl on
last Friday, the road being special
ly represented by Messrs. J.
Strang, chief assistant industrial
agent, Portsmouth, Va., Joseph
White and Rev. R. Hilburn, Pine
Bluff, N. C.
The Seaboard had everything in
readiness for a day of real amuse
ment. Early in the morning the
work began, and before the hour
for the indoor services, with a few
inexpensives pieces of timber, a
meek little cottage had been
changed into one of palatial ap
pearance; no one out any money,
no one to complain of too much
work—in fact, every one was there
ready to be instructed as to the
object of the Seaboard’s interest
in such a move.
You can well imagine the cor
rectness of all that was to show,
knowing of Mr, E. St. John’s tact
as a -financier. Mr. Patrick, the
general agent, was unwell and
could not be present, but Mr.
Strang, his chief assistant, was on
hand and all were satisfied. He
is an all-round jam-up fellow, and
just such a man as any country
man will take to. Mr. Hilburn,
the instructor for the occasion,
acquitted himself in a masterful
manner. From the old flour bar
rel rocking chair to the blue bird’s
nest, every word was in the right
place, and full of thought and
meaning. Mr. White, the “round
er-up” of the work, was,during the
entire proceedure, in the right
place, and at the right time every
crack.
Too many words of commenda
tion can’t be uttered in behalf of
the Seaboard for the great advan
tages they are giving the farmers
along their line.
The object of their lesson is to
impress upon the minds of farm
ers that ‘ it is not necessary to be
a pig to raise one;” that there is
ae much money made by beautify
ing their homes as there is in
planting corn and cotton, saying I
nothiug for the pleasure of such.
With chestnut rails, pine boards,
goods boxes, flour barrels, in fact,
everything that a supposed up-to
date farmer throws aside and
burns up—this division of the
Seaboard picks them up and with
very little labor places them
around in an artistic manner and
increases the value of a farm 10yf,
sold at a Sheriff’s sale or private;
any man purchasing property
can’t help but be impressed with
such inviting structures around a
country home.
With their interest and charity
towards this section, they have
seen fit to spend a day, we trust
most pleasautly, at Carl, and
their work is there to show for
itself. They have erected, out of
this inexpensive material, neat
little mounds, wreaths, arches
gate ways and many other struct
ures. They not only do this, but
carry a full supply of seed with
which to grow vines to circle these
chestnut poles.

amine their efforts for the good of
the farmers of this section, and
you are certainly due them some
thing for such an interest; if so,
emulate the example set forth at
Carl last Friday. Certainly there
will be dozens of others to begin
work on their houses that for
years have been uninvitirg and
nntasteful, but now, since having
been shown that they can do it
with little or no expense, we feel
assured that they will take it up
for a good purpose. Great be the
success of the Seaboard’s Indus
trial Agency.
A Day Spent In Buford.
As mentioned in last week’s issue of
the News-Herald I spent a inosh pleas
ant day in Buford Tuesday.
Knowing most of the best people of
that enterprising little city I had no
apprehension of being greeted witli
anything less than a warm welcome;
especially was I assured of the fact
when 1 had the pleasure of coining in
contact with that genial, hospitable
and loyal Gwinnett countyite, ('apt.
W.T. Smith. Capt. Smith is at present
in excellent health, after spending sev
eral months in North Carolina, and is
now discharging icustomed du
ties towards Buford and Gwinnett
county, serving for the good of others.
Buford has again taken up her usual
place in the commercial world, since
being entirely relieved of small pox.
I find that her merchants suffered
strongly during the duration of the
disease, from the fact that hundreds of
their cifstoiners were afraid to venture
into their bounds. However, with the
proper precaution, thedisease was mas
terfully handled, and not one death oc
curred, and only one of the victims is
left with a few slight pitta.
One will necessarially become im
pressed' with her citizens’ go-ahead
business disposition, to go on the
ground and see what pluck and energy
will develop.
Within the last fifteen years Buford
has grown from a few meek cottages
to five and six thousand dollar resi
dences. Her manufacturing industry
has become immense, and new ma
chinery is being ordered as itoomeson
the market. Mr. Burrell Shadburn in
vented some three years ago a collar
press, which saves a great amount of
labor. This alone by being pushed on
the market would be a handsome for-:
tune. So you see their minds are not |
confined absolutely to harness and mon
ey making
Mr. It. H. Allen is still there, in his .
gentle and complacent manner. With |
an affliction too great to be borne by [
some people, this man has gone for |
years unable to walk a step, and made
fortunes. His factory is a treat for any j
one to visit. It is marvelous to see the j
systematic manner in which he con-!
ducts his business, and the inspiration
by his hands are induced to give him
valuable and regular time. They are
evidently inspieed by the interest he
shows in his business.
Our popular representative of the
board of education, T. C. Shadburn, is
there, and enjoys an enviable reputa
tihn as a business man.
I had the pleasure of meeting with
an old friend while there, C. H. Smith,
Jr., who is now connected with the
NEW GOODS!
HAVING disposed of most of our summer goods before
summer was half gone, we decided to add a little more
-l%rof the same class of goods to our stock. To our sur
prise we found the wholesale houses stocked with sum
mer goods—their spring trade not being as good as usual—
and we laid in a big stock, knowing that at the prices we
could sell them they wduid not remain on the shelves long.
Wc feel justified in saying that we can sell these goods for
less than our competitors paid for them. ‘‘Why ?” you ask.
Simply because the traveling men have a limited time in
which to sell their spring goods. They are now out selling
their fall goods, and the Houses they reptesent must get rid
of what’s left of their summer goods without the aid.of their
salesmen. This explains it. We bought light in the spring.
Now we have bought some of the same goods at a greatly
reduced price.
Look at These Prices.

Southern Railway. Charley is an alum- ]
nus of the University of Georgia, and j
is very popular with the good people]
of Buford.
I was quite fortunate in meeting wit h !
Mr. Dan Sudderth, who kindly carried ]
me through the great factories.
Mr. Walt Mitchell, an old Lawrence
villeite, is prominently mentioned
among the business men of Buford.
Many thoughts come to the mind of a
visitor at that place, when to know
that Buford was, op to short time ago,
composed of a few red hills.
Large and well packed business
houses throng the main street of the
town, while on ail sides you see costly
structures for residences. The bank
building is a magnificent little struct
ure, and under the efficient manage
ment of Leonard Patillo lias grown
and prosperrd.
Buford, through tiie instrumentality
of Capt. Smith, is soon to have a well j
trained military company. Gov. Can
dler has given the promise, and you
can guess his promise toGwinnett will
not go unfinished. L. P. Martin has
been elected Captain, and D. N. Vance
first lieutenant. I failed to get the
names of the other officers.
With every good wish for the sue- I
] cess of such a thriving city, and that!
I Lawrenceville will some day take on
the enterprise that Buford has, I am
Respectfully,
