GENERAL JOSEPH WHEELER.
General Joseph Wheeler was
born in Augusta, Ga., September
10, 1886. He was educated in the
north. His parents died when he
was a child.s years of age, and he
was sent to the care of relatives
at Cheshire, Conn., where he spent
his boyhood. Here he received
his education, until his appoint
ment as Btudent to West Point by
a congressman of his own name,
John Wheeler, formerly of Darby,
Conn., who, however, represented
a New York district. He gradu
ated at West Point in 1859; in
1860 was commissioned 2nd Lieu
tenant of Dragoons. But at the
breaking out of the war he was in
the south, and when his native
state seceeded he quickly decided
which side he would take, his
southern blood asserting its pri
macy in this decisiou. Just 10
days after the first guu at Ft.
Sumter he resigned his lieutenacy
in the Federal army April 22nd,
1861, and was appointed Colonel
of the 19th Alabama Infantry
September 4.
From that day he bore a promi
nent part in the war. At Shiloh
he commanded a brigade of infan
try, but was afterward put in
command of a cavalry regiment.
On Oct. 80, 1862, he was pro
moted Brigadier General. After
wards he was Major General, then
Lieutenant General, until the
death of Gen. Stuart, when he be
came senior cavalry general of the
Confederate army..
He bore a promineut part in
the great battles of Shiloh, Far
mington, Corinth, Perryville, Mur
fresboro, Chicamaugua,Missionary
Ridge and Knoxville.
Besides this, he was under Are
in more than 500 skirmishes, and
commanded in 127 battles, many
of which, considering the num
bers, were the most severe and
successful recorded in the history
of cavalry warfare. He had five
horses killed under him, and a
great number wounded. In some
engagements he lost half his of
ficers, yet he was never seriously
hurt but once, though his coat and
hat had been often riddled by
northern bullets.
After the war he studied law,
which he has since practiced, and
is also a cotton planter of Ala
bama.
He is now serving his ninth
term as congressman from the
eighth district of Alabama, which
shows the esteem be has in the
hearts of his countrymen in times
of peace as well as war.
When President McKinley broke
the record of all his predecesors
since the war and gave him a com
mand in the Spauish-American
war, with the rank of Major Gen
eral, those who had studied histo
ry in a one-sided way looked upon
it more as a concession to the
south than as a merited honor.
But as the facts of the Santiago
campaign gradually come to light,
the entire country endorsed the
appointment of the President as
being a wise one, in that he put
in charge the ablest cavalry tacti
cian this country has ever pro
duced.
So pronounced is his popularity
, that the G. A. R. veterans of Bos
ton invited him, this year, to de
liver the address on Memorial day,
the first time an ex-ofticer of the
Confederate army has ever per
formed this duty for a northern
army Post.
General Wheeler, or “Fighting
Joe,” who is every inch a soldier,
is short of stature and slight of
frame, and he might be overlooked
in a crowd as hardly the one to
call a typical hero, but his mobile
face, cool judgment, calm thought
fulness and quiet dignity, coupled
with that piercing, commanding
eye, irrepressible energy and quick
decisiou, make him a natural born
leader in the field of battle.
What is better about General
Wheeler than his military and
political abilities and achieve
ments, is the fact that he is a re
ligious man. He was brought up
in the Episcopal church, with a
great reverence for sacred things
and faith in the efficacy of prayer.
At one time when his host'acci
dentally found him on his knees
and offered an apology, General
Wheeler said, “Don’t mention it,
I think all of us ought to kneel
before we retire, and thank our
good Maker for His mercies ar.d
blessings. ”
The members of General Wheel
er’s staff say that during the San
tiago campaign he never lay down
to sleep without offering a prayer,
and never arose in the morning
without thanking God for His
protection and preservation.
He has none of th a vices of in
temperance, or other bad habits
which have ruined so many sol
diers and politicions.
In. publishing the map of the
disputed territory between Walton
and Gwinnett last week, there was
an error in the diagram, though
the accompanying description
made the matter plain enough to
any one of ordinary intelligence.
Not so, however, to the youthful
sage of the Walton News and Mes
senger. His mental calibre was in
adequate to the task, though had
he stood upon his head and looked
at the diagram from that position
he might have comprehend it more
clearly, since he relys upon his op
tics instead of his brain to grasp a
situation. When Col. Collier be
gins hiß resurvey of this disputed
line, the difference between the
Shaderick Morris and the James
Morris places will be made paiu
fully but plainly apparent to our
Walton county friends. Until
then “requiescat en pace,” Bro.

Seaboard Air Lint at Work.
Columbus, S. C., June 27.—Vice
President and General Manager
St. John, of the Seaboard Air-Line
arrived iD Columbia today with
Chief Engineer Lugoff and a corps
of engineers, who got into camp
near here. The general manager
made the announcement that the
Seaboard would at ouce proceed
to construct a line from Columbia
to Augusta.
The. sufvey of this line had al
ready been completed and the pro
files are in the office of the com
pany ready for the contract for
the work to be let. The line will
be fourteen miles shorter than any
existing line between the two pla
ces. The survey from Augusta to
Charleston, now being quietly
made, Mr. St. John admits, is for
his road. * The work has been in
progress for two months.
The road will be built by Janu
ary Ist, said Mr. St. John, and
will be runuiug through trains
from New York to Tampa. With
the Charlestou-Augusta liuk the
Seaboard will build 265 miles of
road in South Carolina and 150
miles will be its work in the next
seven months.
FOURTH OF JULY EX
CURSIONS.
Up-country folks and down-country
folks need a shake-up at least once a
year. The shake-up might as well come
Fourth of July as any other day. Moun
tain folks need a dash of seaside and
seaside folks need that peculiar some
thing called “mountain air.” Fourth
of July is kind of a jolly affair anyhow.
Everybody moves somewhere. The
querry.is where to go? The answer
is found in a glance at the Seaboard
Air Line system. From the waters of
the Chesapeake to the crags and deep
trout pools of the Blue Ridge. This
railroad will put on sale tickets pur
chasable of any agent, July 2nd, 3rd
and 4th and good to return on or be
fore July the 7th, at one aud one third
fares for the round trip. Plenty of
people will be going, hut ample ac
commodation will be provided thqt
there will be plenty of room for the
children —for the whole family. There
will be no struggle nor exhaustion in
cident upon crowding for those who
take their Fourth of July outing by
the Seaboard Air Line.
Remember, the Fourth of July comes
but once a year. It will neuer do to
miss the outing.
Married men, according to a
German investigator, live longer
than bachelors, and are less like

argument for matrimony is found
in the fact that there are 88 crim

while among the married men the
ratio is only 18 per 1000.

It will soon be “laying by time”
with our farmers, and we bespeak
for them a happy time as they en
joy the fruits of their labor ’ under
their own vine and fig tree,“ and
as they visit among themselves
and go to “big meetings.” It is
the happiest vocation in the world,
and Harry Hopeful says the
surest route to heaven.
We scarcely look over a single
one of our Georgia exchanges with
out seeing some mention of cotton
factories or other manufacturing
enterprises being erected. When

Will she wait till all the rest are
served ? We hope not.
The Constitution of Tuesday last
publishes a remarkable aud horri
ble accident near Charlotte, N. C.
A young man by the name of
Parsons was run over by a train,
aevering his body in twain. Each
piece was laid in the baggage car
separately to ship to Charlotte,
and to the utter amazement of all
present the’ young man lived aud
was conscious for over an hour
after the accident.
That was a pretty heavy blow
Lawrenceville got last Sunday
afternoon, as well as a terrific
rain. The little frame building
near our office, occupied by Henry
Morris, the colored shoemaker,
was blown from its foundations;
the editor’s woodshed was blown
down, also a number of trees and
branches of trees in different partß
of town. Several fine com patch
es were “laid by,” but aside from
this we have heard of no other
damage.
It is a shame to our town and
county to think that we have acres
upon acres of rich and productive
garden lands, and yet snap beans
from a distance are bringing four
cents per pound right here in Law
renceville. Now, there is not a
family in Georgia but who can
raise enough vegetables on otie
acre to supply all their needs, and
a large number of families can
supply themselves from a quarter
of an acre, yet their lands grow
up in grass and weeds to harbor
snakes and “varmints.” Let us
reform. It is not yet too late to
plant a garden.

Bam Lockridge was in town
Monday buying up chickens and
produce from our merchants.
Sam is as “regular as clock-work”
in his rounds gathering up chick
ens and eggs, and makes quite a
success of the business. He fur
nished two boys and a mule to
the government in its war with
Spain, and all three went to Cuba
iu the service of their country.
Before the regiment was mustered
out at Macon, Sam went down to
see his boys and found them both
well. Then he looked around for
his old mule, aud was happy to
find that he, too, had arrived back
from Cuba safe aud sound. Sam
was a little short of money, else
he would have bought the mule
aud brought it back home with
him.

The concert ar.d entertainment
given by the Suwanee school at
the auditorium of the City school
Friday night was a treat highly
enjoyed by the large audience
present. Miss LaHaMe, the prin
cipal of the school, deserves the
highest praise for the thorough
training she has given her pupils.
Every one of the participants ren
dered their parts most excellently,
and had we the space the News-
Herald would take pleasure in
commending each one separately;
but suffice it to say no public en
tertainment has been given in our
city in years that has so highly
pleased our people as this one.
Miss LaHatte is a most accom
plithed lady, and has done a great
work in her school at Suwanee.
The &tay of the visitors in our city
was rendered most pleasant by
the hospitality of those of our
citizens who threw their homes
open to them durirg their visit.
Coroner Wilson has been using
12 jurors iu holding inquests,
whereas the law only proaide%for
6. This fact was pointed out by
’Squire John M. Mills, when he
was summoned last Saturday as a
juror in the inquest held over the
body of the uegro, John Johnson.
’Squire Mills refused to obey the
summons on the ground that an
inquest with 12 jurors would be
contrary to law, consequently il
legal. At first the Coroner was
disposed to controvert ’Squire
Mills’ version of the law, and
proceeded to summon 12 men, as 1
had been his practice heretofore.!
But when the revised statutes of
1898 were consulted he acquiesced
to the law, and the inquest was
held with only 6 jurors. The
question nnw arises, what will our
county authorities do when they
come to audit the bills of cost for
iuquests held heretofore with 12
jurors? Clearly, only 6 are en
titled to pay, and it may be that
the verdicts will be set aside as
illegal, and the county saved the
expense. While the taxable prop
erty of the county is ou the de
crease, there is no reason why the
county should be run to unneces
sary expense, but ou the other
hand the brakes should be applied
whenever the opportunity offers,

Fine Samples of Wheat-
Xorcrohs, Ga., June 24, 1899.
Editor News-Herald : I send
you* sample of wheat heads grown
by Mr. M. C. Med lock near this
place, which goes to show that
wheat can be grown very success
fully in this grand old county of
Gwinnett. .
Mr. Medlock procured the seed
of this wheat from the north-iyest
some two years ago, known as the
“Harvest King.” A very fine
crop was made of it last year, but
rust appeared on it this year and
caused a considerable shrinkage.
You will notice the heads run from
6 to 8 inches long, and some with
4 grains to the mesh.
What we need is more grain
crops and less cotton, aud then we
will board at home and get more
for our cotton. However, I think
we are improving along this line,
but let the good work go on—there
is more room yet.
Respectfully,
S. T. M. Elroy.
