The Hynds Manufacturing Com- |
pany ig preparing to move their
extensive plant to Atlanta.
A. J. Monday, the Sheri!!’ of
Hall county, is building a fine
grist mill at Oakwood, in Hall
county.
“Down with the trusts!” is the
democratic slogan for 1900. On
that issue a democratic president
can be elected.
Bryan is doing too much talk
ing. He will talk himself to death
before the democratic national
convention meets if he don’t mind.
Representative Simpson, of Mil- 1
ton county, w’ho has been suffering
with smallpox at Marietta, has re-'
covered, There are several cases
of the disease at Marietta.
Smallpox prevails at Pender
grass, in Jackson county, but the
disease is of light form, and no
apprehension is felt with proper
precautions to prevent its spread.
Flem dußignon is setting his
sails toward the United States
Senate, but he will encounter
many a rebuff before he gets there.
He may succeed Steve Clay, but
Bacon—not much !
While it is most a year yet till
the political pot begins to simmer
it may not be amiss thus early to
Bay that the sentiment of Gwin
nett county democrats is over
whelmingly in favor of a white
primary. And that’s what we
are going to have, too.
Toccoa Record: Mr. Fricks, of
near Avalon, a gentleman 100
years old the 9th of last month,
last week walked over to Walhalla
and returned after a day or two
visiting; then went to the river
and caught a large string of fish,
one of which weighed five pounds,
all in one week. This does pretty
well for a centenarian, we think.
Next year is Gwinnett’s turn,
according to the rotation system,
to furnish the Senatorial timber
for the 34th Senatorial district.
Ex-Representative M’Donald, Rep
resentative Hutchins, Ex-Repre
sentative “Smith of Gwinnett,”
and Ex-Representative Clement
have all been spoken of as possible
candidates. The race promises to
be lively, unless the friends of
Judge Hutchins induce him to
allow his name used, in which
event the Judge would be the
choice of the people, probably
without opposition.
While the race for Solicitor-
General is yet a long ways off, it
goes without saying that Hon.
C. H. Brand will be re-elected by
the people when he goes before
them for an endorsement of his
official record by a rousing major
ity. In fact, it is doubtful if he
will have any opposition at all.
His duties have been performed
with such signal ability, charac
teristic of the man’s unflagging
energy, that the people will take
great pleasure in adding their en
dorsement to the legislature’s
wise choice in electing him to the
Solicitorship of this circuit.
All this praise of ex-Governor
Northen for debating the negro
question with a negro bishop up
in Boston the other night makes
us sick. Iu our humble opinion
the ex-Governor’s discussion is
calculated to do the south infinite
ly more harm than good. And
his condescention to debate with a
negro is setting a precedent entire
ly at variance with past teachings
of all true southern men. The
more the negro question is dis
cussed, the harder it will be to
settle. The best way, in our opin
ion, to settle the “question” is to
lynch every rapist, whose identity
is undisputed, and say as little
about it as possible.
The question of a new union
passenger depot for Atlanta is
one in which the entire state is
interested, and if the great rail
road interests of Georgia would
pay heed to the wishes of jhe peo
ple they would not longer quibble
over the details, but would pro
ceed at once with the erection of a
passenger station in keeping with
the needs of the hoqr. The pres
ent structure is an eye-sore not
only to Atlanta but to every vis
itor to that city. Let the rail
roads get together and do their
duty, and they will not only be
doing the proper thing by Atlanta,
but at the same time winning the
applaudits of the people from
every section of the state, who feel
a just pride in their wide-awake
and growing capital city. And
the applaudits and good will of
the people of Georgia will be worth
more to the railroads than the
cost of a new station. “A stitch
in time saves nine” i» an old |
maxim the raiiroad people would j
do well to heed just at this time.]

SWIFT JUSTICE.
Chas. Colquitt, a negro boy liv
ing in Oconee county, attempted
to commit an assault upon a white
girl near High Shoals Saturday
uight, May 20th. He was cap
tured Sunday and carried to jail
at Watkinsville. Judge Russell
was asked to convene a special
term of court to try the negro for
his dastardly crime, else there
would be a lynching. Judge Rus
sell promptly responded, the court
met Thursday and the grand jury
returned a bill of iudictment.
When the negro was brought
to the bat of justice ho entered a
plea of guilty. Judge Russell
gave him the extreme limit of the
law—2o years at hard labor in the
penitentiary, and on Friday the
culprit was hurried off to begin
serving his sentence.
Thus, within a week after the
crime was committed justice was
meted out to this wretch, and the
fair name of Oconee county spared
the shame of a lynching.
Judge Russell and Solicitor
Brand are to be commended in
their prompt and efficient wotk
in this matter, and if their ex
ample could be emulated by other
Judges and Solicitors in other
parts of the state, there wouid be
fewer lynchiugs in Georgia.

SAYS THE NEGRO HAS NO SO 111..
Chambersaurg, Pa., May 27
A startling theory, and one which
has stirred the negro population
of the north to excitement, is ad
vanced by Rev Dr. Gottlieb Hass
kail, of the Lutheran chinch,
claiming scientific and biblical
authority. Dr. Ilasskarl asserts
the negro to be the long-sought
Darwinian missing link. After
affirming that the negroes’s main
superiority over the gorilla, orang
otang and baboon is that he utters
sounds that could be imitated and
understood by Adam and conver
sation ensued between them ; that
the baboon is thickly clothed with
huir and goes erect part of time;
that the orangoutang has still less
hair, is of a black skin and goes
erect when moving about. Dr.
Hasskarl says:
“It is thus 6een that the gradu
ation from the monkey to the ne
gro is in philosophical juxtanposi
tion in God’s order of creation.
In the capaity of a beast, the ne
gro entered Noah’s ark, and not
being counted with the eight souls
that entered the ark who were
Noah and his wife, his three sons
and their wives, is without a soul.
Therefore,it is idle and wrong to
sacrifice either life or money to
convert the negro either in Africa
or America into Christianity.”
Dr. Hasskarl, more than this,
says for the negro there is no par
adise for him; there was no help
mate created foi him; there was
no tree of knowledge, no test of
obedience, consequently he is not.
a moral being, nor morally respon
sible, and this in spite of the un
fortunate thirteenth amendment.
Through his seed there is no med
iator; consequently no redemp
tion.
The gospel is meant for a gospel
people, a people who have capac
ity and ability to receive it and
live to it. In brief, only the de
cendants of Adam and Eve in
God’s image and likeness are
meant to be beneficiaries of the
gospel.
Dr. Hasskarl is the author of
several ethnological works: is a
doctor of philosophy and of canon
laws. He is a graduate of Mt. Airy
Theological seminary and a large
contributor to the Lutheran
church’s literature.
A PKEAOHEK'S AD VICK.
Lorenzo Dow once closed a dis
course with the following language
which is singular for its quaint
ness and practical in its advice:
“I want you my young sinners,
to kiss and get married. Then let
your home be provided with such
comforts and necessaries as piety,
pickles, kettles, brushes, brooms
and benevolence, bread, virtue,
wine and wisdom. Have these al
ways at hand, and happiness will
be with yov. Do not drink any
thing intoxicating, eat moderate
ly, go about your business, lounge
a little after dinnir, chat after tea,
and kiss after quarreling Then
all the joy, the peace and bliss the
earth cau afford shall be yours un
til the grave closes over you, and
your spirits are borne to a brighter
and happier world.”—Ex.

NEW GOODS!
HAVING disposed of most of our summer.goods before
summer was half gone, we decided to add a little more
of 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 wduld 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.

We quote you these prices on a part of our stock to
show you we mean to reduce it, and that in a very short
time. This same reduction applies to all of our groceries,
hardware, tinware, etc., in fact, everything in the house.
If you fail to see our goods and get our prices you are
certainly not practicing economy, for it is not so much what
you make but what you save.
