The air of Lawrenceville for the past few days has been charged and surcharged with serious im putations against a high official of the municipal government. The News-Herald refrains from giving particulars, as the main charges seem to emenate from a source of doubtful veracity, and may have been made from motives of revenge. If you want a Shoe that will be worth your money, buy a pair of our $3.00 and .$3.50 shoes. Rutledge & Cloweh. Senator A. O. Bacon is not only a statesman and an excellent United States Senator, but withal a generous and whole-souled gen tleman, ever responsive to the call for aid for a worthy cause. He gave S2O to the fund for building a new Odd Fellows’ hall for Law renceville Lodge, for which he has the sincere thanks of the members of the order here. Rutledge & Clower are the Clothiers of Lawrenceville. They carry the largest stock of anybody and can sell them right. The entertainment last Friday night at the City School audito rium was a pronounced success from start to finish. Each part was rendered in just such manner as to provoke the liveliest kind of humor, and the large audience highly enjoyed the play. The“Dee strick Skule” was certainly a suc cess and will bear a repetition. The proceeds went to the Presby terian church.

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. If you want aDy remnants in laws, organdies, ducks etc. Go to Cain’s and get them at half price. Honest Prices, Honest Weights! BARTER SAME AS CASH.

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. NOTICE OF PICNIC. There will be given at Dodson Park, Norcross, Ga., on Saturday, .Tune 3rd, an all-day picnic and dance. Every body invited, and a good time is as sored to all. Subscribes. 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.

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.

Your credit is good in JNO.B. BROCDON’S BIG STORE, Suwanee, Ga. 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.

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, J. A. Pkkky. BIGGIES! BUGGIES!! Not the largest stock in the county, but the nobbiest and cheapest.
