The News=Herald. Entered at Lawrenceville poatofflce an •econd-clom matter. “PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY Official Organ Gwinnett County. LaimceiiUe Publishing Co., Proprietors. W. O'. McHelley, Editor. The negro population in the vi cinity of Safford is on the de crease. It is said that Mr. Bryan has dates ahead for several com shuck ing in lowa and Illinois this fall. He has also acceptedjan invitation to speak at Columbus, Ga. Hon. Elihu Root, of New York, is McKinley’s new Secretary of War. McKinley needs backbone more than anything else to bring the war to a close in the Philip pines. Senator Morgan cf Alabama, though an ardent silver man, sees the hopelessness of electing Bryan to the Presidency, and advises against his nomination by the democrats. Bryan is making more money with his gab thau he could make as President. Realizing that he can never be President, no doubt he has decided to “make hay while the sun shiues.” Col. Bob Ingersoll, the eloquent agnostic teacher, is dead —died suddenly without a moment’s warning last . Friday evening. Laughing at his wife’s fears that he was ill, he attempted to rise from his chair and fell back— dead! In life Col. Ingersoll com batted the Christian religion and preached the doctrine of “no hell.” Now that he has entered the mys terious realms of the great be yond, he has had the opportunity of finding out whether he was right or wrong. As before remarked in these col umns, just so long as negroes com mit assaults on white women just so sure will the perpetrators meet death at the hands of outraged citizens when caught up and iden tified. No use to preach against mob law as long as these crimes are committed. The execution of the five negroes by Judge Lynch at Safford this week affords ample testimony to this unwritten law. Their punishment was merited by their diabolical crime, and this paper, while deprecating mob vio lence, has no words of censure for the lynchers in this instance. The Democrats have an excel lent chance to win in the next Presidential election if they will not act the fool. But General Grant once remarked that “they can always be depended to act the d —n fool just at the right time.” And it does look so. To nominate Mr. Bryan again would be the height of folly. Put out a strong Eastern man for first place and a Southern or Western man for second place, on a platform for currency reform and “death to the trusts,” and victory is ours. Nominate Bryan, and the demo cratic party will go the way of Ward’s ducks, so to speak, for the time being. It is said that Si Smith’s friends had hired all the witnesses against him in the murder of Bell to leave the state, and that he in that way would probably have escaped pun ishment for a most brutal and cold-blooded murder. If this be true, that wa« no doubt the in centive to the mob for killing him in the Hall county jail. Smith was worth several thousand dol lars and had boasted that he would save his neck with his money. The fear of this no doubt prompt ed the murdered man's friends to their act of violence. Notwith standing the Governor has offered a heavy reward for the lynchers there is said to be little hope that they will ever be brought to jus tice. The rank and file of the demo cratic voters in the big democratic counties on this side the 9th dis trict are getting a little restive in being called upon every two years to “vote for Carter Tate.” Tate, of course, is a “clever fellow,” and knows how to “tickle the boys” with his hale fellowship, friendly handshakes and clever slaps on the back along about “feedin’ time.” That’s politics. But when our clever Congressman has a nice, juicy plum to give out he looks not to the democratic side of his district to bestow the favor, but proceeds to give it to Hon. John Witzel.from the republican county of Fannin, whom he has appoint ed Census Supervisor. But after all there is nothing strange in this, since Mr. Tate himself is from a republican county. Wouldn’t it be good politics for the democratic voters on this side the district to give Mr. Tate a rest and elect a man to Congress who will recognize the democrats over this way when he has offices to give out ?

In the Supreme court Wednes day the opinion in the case of For syth vs. Gwinnett was handed down, confirming the judgment of the lower court. The litigation is familiar to our readers, growiug out of the steel bridge constructed by Forsyth county over the Chattahoochee River, near Buford. The amount sued for was $5,000. The case hae been stubbornly fought all the way through, and has resulted in a signal victory for Gwinnett county. We get the news of this decision just as we go to press, and will endeavor to give the opinion in full in our next issue. WHY A CHANGE IS NECESSARY. The present method of nomina ting candidates for Congress in this the 9th district by conven tion is so manifestly unfair that a change in the system is absolutely essential to the perpetuity of dem ocratic harmony. Under the present ratio of rep resentation in the nominating convention the large and populous counties of the district are at the mercy of the smaller counties, with their handful of democratic votes. In order to bring this more clearly to the minds of our read ers, we append herewith a tabu lated statement of the vote of the 17 counties of the district, show ing the democratic and republican vote received by Bryan and Mc- Kinley, respectively, in the presi dential election of 1896: Counties Bryan McKinley Banks 579 38y Cherokee 712 702 Dawson 324 209 Fannin 507 »20 Forsyth 4H2 259 Gilmer 706 503 Gwinnett 1250 773 Habersham 7H2 242 Hall 1134 582 Jackson 1205 700 Lumpkin 436 466 Milton 428 227 Pickens 45# 693 Rabun 404 101 Towns 340 299 Union 560 419 White 274 159 Total 10,581 7,533 In order to draw a contrast, let us take the Chattahoochee river as the dividing line. On this side the river there are five counties as follows: Dera. vote. Vote in con. Gwinnett 1250 4 Jackson 1905 4 Hall 1134 4 Habersham 782 2 Banks 675 2 4050 16 Then take the remaining 12 counties on the north side the Chattahoochee, as follows: Dem. vote. Vote in con. Cherokee 712 2 Dawson 324 2 Fannin 507 2 Forsyth 482 2 Gilmer 706 2 Lumpkin 436 2 Milton 428 2 Pickens 468 2 Rabun 404 2 Towns 340 2 Union 560 2 White 274 2 5611 24 Showing that the 12 counties on the other side the river, with only 661 more democratic votes than the 5 counties on this side, have a voting strength in the convention of 24, while the 5 big democratic counties on this side have only 16. This gives a representation of 8 more votes in the convention to these 12 counties for only 661 votes in excess of the 5 counties on this side the river. But let us carry the comparison still further and see what we find as to the relative strength of the two great opposing parties. The vote for Bryan aud McKinley in the five counties on this side the district in the presidential contest of 1896 was as follows: Bryan McKinley Gwinnett 1260 773 Jackson 1205 700 Hall 1184 582 Habersham 782 242 Banks 670 380 4950 2586 A democratic majority in the five counties of 2864. In the 12 remaining counties on the other Bide the vote was as fol lows : Bryan McKinley Cherokee 712 702 Dawson 824 209 •Fannin 607 920 Forsyth 482 269 Gilmer 706 603 Lumpkin 436 456 Milton 428 227 ••Pickens 456 693 Rabun 404 101 Towns 340 299 Union 660 419 White 274 159 •The home of Hon. John H. Witzel, Congressman Tate’s appointee as Su pervisor of Census for the 9th Cist. ••The home of Congressman Tate. Showing a democratic majority of only 664 in the combined 12 counties. It will also be observed that Congressman Tate’s home county gave a republican majority of 287. His appointee for Census Super visor, Hon. John H. Witzel, is also from a republican stronghold, his county—Fannin—giving a re publican majority of 418 for Mc- Kinley. In submitting those figures to our readers, we insist that they bear out our contention from a political standpoint and from the standpoint of justice and fairness, that this side the district is en titled to name the next represen tative in Congress. We have patiently voted for Congressman Tate, from the republican county of Pickens, for the past 8 years, hoping that he would know when he had enough and let loose the public teat, and give some good democrat on this side the district a pull at it. But he is slated for still another term, making 10 years in all —2 more thau Allen Candler served. And this is not all. Already the men who aspire to control the conventions and manipulate the wires have another man in train ing for Tate’s successor, from the county of Cherokee. He is a poli tician of the warp and woof of Congressman Tate himself —a “mixer” and a “log-roller,”—as clever a man as ever lived, but withal of ordinary ability to fill a seat in Congress. His name is Tom Hutcherson,the solicitor-gen eral of the Blue Ridge circuit. It is the tacit understanding among the “boys” that Hutcherson is to succeed Tate—but Tate must serve two years longer. With the present unfair method of nominating the Congressman, this programme will be carried out to the letter, and when Tom Hutcherson serves as long as he wants to he will name his own successor, (from one of the little counties on the north side of the river), just as Carter Tate is going to do when he gets “enough.” The big counties on this side can do the voting and keep the district safely democratic, but when it comes to furnishing the candidate, why that is altogether another matter! If Congressman Tate wants to “tote fair” lie will give out the word to his lieutenants (of which he has a goodly array throughout the district) that he is willing for his successor to be chosen next year by a white democratic pri mary, in which every white demo crat of the 9th district will be asked to participate, every county to act on the same day, and the candidate receiving the largest number of votes to be declared the nominee. This is a fair and it is democratic. It places the nomination iu the hands of the white democrats cf the dis trict, where it properly belongs. All Mr. Tate has to do is to say the word and the democratic ex ecutive committee will undoubt edly consent to the white primary plan. His organ, the Cherokee Ad vance, disclaims authority to speak for him, so we now ask Congressman Tate to rise up and speak for himself. Do you favor a white primary, Mr. Tate, or do you desire the present unfair and unjust method of nominating a Congressman continued ? THAT WHITE PKIMAKY. We are quite sure that Congressman Tate has nothing to fear and will lose nothing by a white democratic primary or a primary of the whole people or any part thereof. While Editor McNelley, of the Law renceville News, and, perhaps, a few others, for personal reasons, would like to see and encourage a sentiment against Mr. Tate’s return to Congress, no plan in which an expression of the white voters, or the colored, or both white and black of the democratic par ty, or the people as a whole would in the least prejudice the interest of Mr Tate and his friends. —Canton Advance. Fot “personal reasons” we have nothing whatever against Col. Tate; on the contrary we admire his personal qualities aud have on many occasions commended him for his genial good nature. But we do insist that eight years is long enough for any man to serve in Congress on his merits as a “clever fellow.” Just let Col. Tate “tote fair” and agree to a white primary, in which every white democratic voter in the district will count for his full weight, then, if he gets the nomination, we will gracefully acquiesce aud award him the palm as the most popular man ever elected to Congress from the 9th district. Ambitious of a popularity that should come direct from the hearts of his party, Mr. Tate should readily agree to leave his nomina tion to the white democrats of his district. His refusal to acquiesce in their choice would be au ad mission of his weakness and a fear that his boasted popularity is more of a myth than a reality. The Advance goes ou to say: “Fall in line with the people of the 9th district, Bro. McNelley, and you will become convinced that they are not tired of Mr. Tate’s services aud that there is no growing sentiment for him to retire to the shades of pri vate life for yet awhile. On the con trary, Mr. Tate’s continued faithful service seems to more closely endear him to the whole people, as plainly evidenced every time au opportunity is given them to register an expression by ballot or otherwise. “But go on, Mack, in your advocacy of purer and cleaner methods in all political contests, local, state and national. The movement is a good one and we most heartily endorse the suggestions made. In fact, we would favor and urge even a more advanced step 111 matters political at least. The time is fast approaching, indeed now is, when the white voters of the coun- try. irrespective of party affiliations, must stand squarely together and con trol the political and other vital in terests of the day and times. ” We are glad to see that Bro. Perry endorses our suggestions for a white primary, and we are quite sure that if Col. Tate will drop into line with the growing senti ment for purer methods and clean er politics, and agree to leave his nomination to the choice of the white democrats of the district, that the plan will give universal satisfaction to the rank and file of the party. If Col. Tate can succeed in winning the nomination under such a plan he is insured a life tenure iu Congress, if he so desires. The breach between McKinley and Alger makes Michigan a doubt ful state in the next Presidential election. LOCAL 2STE-WS. A County Sunday School Organization. After consulting several of the presidents of the different associa tions, and many of the leading Sunday school workers of the coun ty, I am authorized to call a mass meeting of the Sunday school workers of the county to meet at Lawrenceville, iu the grand jury room at the court house, on the first Tuesday in August, promptly at 2 o’clock p. m. 1 shall not attempt to write a lengthy article iD explaining this organization, for I deem it useless, because you all understand the object and result of such organiza tion, as we bad this county organ ized a few years ago. There are only eleven counties in the state that are not organized, and Gwin nett is one of them. The object of a county association is as fol lows, expressed briefly in a nut shell : First, To be represented in the state and international conven tions. Second, To arouse more enthu siasm and interest in the schools of the county. Third, Where there is union there is strength. Fourth, Then we could develop the talent of our young people iu the conventions and celebrations, and at the same time we could se cure the services of talented Sun day school workers at these gath erings. There are many other reasons why wo should be organized, but it would be useless to mention them. We have eight or ten con ventions in the county, and we think they should be organized. We have selected Lawrenceville because it is centrally located. We selected the first Tuesday in August to organize because it is a leisure time and also sale day. We selected the graud jury room because there are plenty of chairs. If the people think best when we meet we can obtain the use of one of the churches of the city. Very likely we will not be over one hour organizing; that is why we have selected the time and place. We want, especially, every pres ident of the aesociatic ns and Sun day school workers generally to be sure to meet us. Allow me to urge you to come. Do not forget the place and date. Respectfully, W. A. Wood. Snellville Sunday School Association- Following is a program for the Snellville Union Sunday School Association, to be held at Snell ville August 19th, 1899: Meet a 9 o’clock, promptly.
