HURRAH FOR GWINNETT!
INSTEAD OF A DECREASE AS FIRST
REPORTED,
, She Shows Material Increase in Taxable
Property.
A few weeks ago the News-Her
ald called attention to the taxable
property returnsof Gwinnettcoun
ty as likely to show a decrease of
over .|IOO,OOO as compared with
the returns of last year. Atten
tion was especially directed to
flagraut undervaluations in re
turns made by two manufacturing
concerns, and the idea was held
out that the grand jury would be
asked to go through the books
and raise the tax dodgers.
The News-Herald’s article has
had a timely and salutary effect,
as both concerns have since come
forward and voluntarily raised
their returns—oue to the tune of
SIB,OOO. Other large tax-payers
in various parts of the couuty
have done likewise, to such an ex
tent in fact that the shrinkage in
values has totally disappeared,
and the consolidated returns show
au increase over last year of, in
round numbers, $109,000.
This will be gratifying news to
those of our readers who feel a
pride in Gwinnett, as the banner
coui.ty of the State, and who were
beginning to feel a little blue over
the prospect of a deficit.
Notwithstanding this large in
crease it is not near as much as it
should be, if the big tax payers
were forced to give in their hold
ings at the same ratio of value as
the poor man gives in his pittance.
We take it that the next grand
jury will give the digest a thorough
overhauling, and raise values
where they should be increased.
While this will have no effect for
the piesent year, it will bring up
the increase for Gwinnett next
year to upward of half a million
dollars,
Mr. Miner, the Tax Receiver,
has not yet returned the digest
to the County Commissioners, but
will do so in a few 'days. When
we get access to the book we will
scan from its pages some interest
ing figures which will be published
in the News-Herald,

Notice to Teachers.
By order of the Board of Edu
cation, the following instructions
sent out by the State School Com
missioner must be strictly com
plied with in order to draw money
from the public school fund of
Gwinnett county.
A. M.Winn, Pres.
INSTRUCTIONS. —The holding of a
license does not itself entitle the hol
der to claim pay out of the Public
School Fund for pupils taught by him.
The only effect of holding a license is
to put the holder in a condition to be
employed to teach. Three things are
necessary to entitle a teacher to pay
out of the public fund.
1. He must hold a teacher’s liceuse.
2. He must have been employed by
the County Board under a contract in
writing.
3. He must have actually done the
teaching according to the contract.
No person can be employed as an as
sistant teacher except by authority
from the Board. Assistants must be
examined and licensed just as other
teachers are. If a teacher, of his own
motion, and without authority from
the Board, employs an assistant the
Board has no right to allow compensa
tion for the teaching done by said as
sistant,
G. R. Glenn,
State School Commissioner.

OBSERVATIONS.
Caught at Bandom on the Comers.
Sheriff Haslett is a staunch
friend of Carter Tate, and says he
is going to stand by him “as long
as there is a pea in the dish,” un
less a Gwinnett county man ap
poses him. This devotion is a wor
thy one from the sheriff’s stand
point of reasoning, and is due to
Congressman Tate’s generosity and
cleverness
*.*
A healthy sentiment against
“campaign funds” is being devel
oped, and it is not improbable that
those who have contributed so
freely to them in the, past will see
a revolution of feeling on this sub
ject in the next year or two.
* *
*
A campaign fund is open to great
abuse, and is more often used as a
corruption fund than for legiti
mate purposes.
In fact, there are few “legiti
mate purposes” that a campaign
fund can be used for.
* *
*
A voter who has to be moved by
the influence of money to exercise
his right of suffrage ought to be
disfranchised. Aud the man who
would buy his suffrage ought to be
debarred the right of holding of
flee—to put it m'ldly.
**»
A white man’s government aud
a white man’s party should uot be
dominated by the venal, purchas
able negro vote. The democratic
leaders iu Gwinnett must elimi
nate the negro from the democrat
ic primary iu the future or suffer
the consequences.
* *
*
A good deal was said a year or
two ago about tht Australian bal
lot. If it was needed then, it is
ueeded now. Why uot agitate the
question and get this needed re
form inaugurated ? The Austral
ian ballot and the whipping post
are two institutions badly needed
in Georgia.
The crop of candidates in Gwin
nett promises to be bountiful. It
is understood tbat all the old of
ficers (except Miner) will stand
for re-election, aud all will have
abundance of opposition.
* *
*
This is a free country, and ev
erybody has a right to ruu for of
fice that wants one. It costs only
$5.00 to announce your name.
*»*
The art of office holding is not
a profession, nor should the
“charmed circle” be looked upon
as an aristocracy. The democratic
principal of rotation in office
should be enconraged iu every bal
iwick in this broad union.
* *
*
Office is an inherant right that
every man should enjoy, and you
have the privilege of running for
anything you want, regardless of
your qualification or fitness.
* *
*
If you are ignorant of your own
unfitness (if perchance you are)
just announce your name aud let
the people pass upon your claims.
The people are generally right,
though they can be fooled part of
the time, but not all the time. In
the end they will weigh you at
your own worth. Give them an
other chance, and, though you have
suffered the sting of defeat in the
past, you may get there next time.
* *
*
The battle is not always to be
the strong, and many a scrub horse
has won a race by an accident that
befell his thoroughbred compet
itor.
***
The field of politics is an in
viting one, and the scrubs and
thoroughbreds can get an even
start, whether they reach the goal
or not. They can have lots of fun
while the race lasts, at least. And
the fee for announcing is only $5.
* *
*
Hon. George Clement, it is said,
will be a candidate for sheriff.
Many others are also spoken of for
this office. Sheriff Haslett will be
a candidate for re-election.
Charley Fleming has retired
from politics, and will move away
from Gwinnett to make his home
iu Alabama. Charley has made a
model tax collector, and leaves
with a clear record and a clear
conscience. He will engage iu the
mercantile and milling business
in Alabama.
* »
•
Tom Pate and Lew. HotchiDß,
it is understood, will be candidates
for re-election to the legislature.
The indications are that they will
have plenty of company.
* *
*
Charley Brand is assured of a
re-election as Solicitor General,
though he will not he without op
position. Some fellow over at
Athens is spoken of as his oppo
nent, and there may be “others.”
But Charley has made a most en
viable and successful record as a
prosecuting attorney, having lost
fewer cases than any man who ev
er held that office in this circuit,
and any opposition he may have
will find in him a hard competitor,
fleet of foot and full of fun He
has a “dead easy” thing of it, so
his friends think, hut he is not go
ing to let the grass grow under his
feet through over-confidence.

The friends of Major W. E. Sim
mons would hail his eutry into the
Congressional race with delight.
He is eminently fitted for the
place, and would make the 9th
district an able representative.
But he is enjoying such a lucra
tive law practice that he is not
likely to be prevailed upon to en
ter the race. It is said that should
he decide to become a candidate
Congressman Tate would not op
pose him. Major Simmons has a
host of friends throughout the dis
tritt who would delight to see him
iu Congress, and should he enter

goal ahead of any competitors.
*#*
Bill Smith and Frank McDonald
are on the bill of fare for the State
Senate, with several other candi
dates tethered in the bushes. This
race promises to be exceedingly
lively.
Dr. J.C. Harris has uot yet de
cided whether he will run for the
House or the Senate. But is re
garded as a certainty that he will
be “in it” for one or the other. The
Doctor is the owner of a fast race
horse aud will be hard to beat.
* *
*
Col. H. W. Rhodes says he will
not he in the race for representa
tive next year—though he may
offer for some other office. Hav
ing had a lot of training, he will
more than likely line up with the
boys for the Senate or “something
better” at the proper timo.

Geo. Roberts says he will be in
the race for Sheriff. George iB a
clever fellow, aud will run a good
race.
* *
He
Dock Bennett (R. M.), one of
the solid citizens of Goodwins, is
seriously thinking of Tying it for
Sheriff. Bennett and Haslett are
about the same size—beth being
200 pounders—and a race between
them would excite great interest.
Geo. Clement is wirey and tough
as whit leather, and says he thinks
he can beat both of them easier
than he can one, and will probably
line up with them in due season.
Hon. W. T. Tanner has a legis
lative bee buzzing in his ear, and
will more than likely be in the
race for the house.
V
Col. Winn Peeples and Col. J. A.
Perry are also spoken of for the
legislature.

It is said that “his honor,” May
or Brown, wants to represent
Gwinnett in the legislature. The
crop of legislative candidates is
indeed promising. But there is
room for all.
It *
*
Tom Smith, of Bay Creek dis
trict, is going to give Arbin Moore
a race for Tax Collector. And
“there are others.” H. J. Hinton,
who came so near getting there in
the last race will also “try again,”
either for Collector or Treasurer.
* *
*
The contest for County Commis
sioners is going to be lively. Can
didates are spoken of from every
side of the county, and several in
the center. The present board is
going to have plenty of opposition.
Goodwins district will present a
formidable candidate for one of
the places, and it wouldn’t be sur
prising to see at least a dozen as
pirants for the five Commissioner
ships, of which the Board consists.
Let all who want office run for it.
The more the merrier, and the
“divil take th’ hindmost.”
* *
*
In the race for Ordinary there
are up to date only two entries —
though others are talked of. Judge
Webb will be a candidate to suc
ceed himself, and ex-Ordinary
R. B. Whitworth will measure
lances with him. Both gentlemen
have many strong friends through
out the county, and if no other
entries are made the race between
them promises to be a “battle
royal,” and will probably excite
greater interest than any other
contest before the people.
***
For Treasurer there promises to
be an abundance of candidates.
“Little Bud” Born is not exactly
satisfied over his last race and is
going to try it again, and will be
joined by quite a number of oth
ers. This is the best office in the
county, considering the work to be
done, and the plum is worth con
siderable effort. It is thought at
least a dozen will line up for this
race.
*
The sentiment is almost unani
mous for a white primary, and if
the executive committee so orders,
it should be held early in the sum
mer. Last year the primary was
held July 80th, aud the one next
year will not be held later, and
probably a mouth earlier.
***
The leading populists of the
county are not disposed to make
nominations unless the democrats
make the mistake of allowing the
negroes to vote in their primary.
If the negroes are allowed a voice
in the democratic primary, the
ticket so nominated will have op
position, either by a populist nom
ination, or by an independent
ticket. However, there seems to
be little doubt about the negro
being eliminated, in which event
the democratic ticket will prove
invincible and will probably be
ratified by the whole people in the
October election without opposi
tion.
The general sentiment among
democratic aspirants is that the
negro should be eliminated from
the primary; that the campaign
fund should be dispensed with;
that “strikers,” “heelers” and so
called “workers” should not be
tolerated, and that “treating” and
the use of whisky should he con
demned in unmeasured terms.
The executive committee will be
asked to adopt stringent rules ou
these points, forbidding any can
i idate guilty of violating them of
a nomination. The people are
demanding a pure, clean primary,
and the committee is going to see

ttt
Times are too hard for a pool j
man to offer for office if he has to |
be bled by a lot of leeches who
swarm around the candidates for
what money and whisky they can
get out of them. The toleration
of heelers has become a stench in
the nostrils of honest voters, and
the tendency of the times is that
the people are going to rise up and
defeat the candidate or set of can
didates who patronize them or up
hold them in their corrupt and
D6farious practices.
ttt . ,
An evil in time condemns itself
if allowed to run unchecked. The
evil of whisky and money in elec
tions in Gwinnett county has run
rife for years, it is said, until can
didates are set upon by a lot of
hungry heelers and threatened
with defeat unless they yield to
their blandishments by purchas
ing their “influence” to work for
them at the polls. But these
heelers have seen the hey day of
their glory, and in the elections
of the future they will be loathed
and shunned, as buzzards —which
they are in human form.
ttt
It is not to be presumed that
any one who has a friend in the
race for office is to be denied the
right to go the polls and work for
him. He is at liberty to roll up
his sleeves and work for his friend
with might and main, but he
should do it of his own volition
and without the use of money or
whisky. There should be a great
er incentive to his enthusiasm and
zeal than mere paltry dollars. If
his friend is competent, worthy
and well equipped for the office to
which he aspires, his love for him
and his patriotic duty to his coun
try Bhould be the impelling mo
tives that prompt him to go out
to the polls and work for him.
ttt
It is the duty of every good cit
izen to take interest in politics,
either as a candidate or as a voter,
and the man who holds back and
refuses to go to the polls and cast
his ballot fails to discharge one of
the greatest obligations resting
upon him as a citizen. Such a
man is selfish, dwarfed and moral
ly dead to the blessings of good
government. He owes it to him
self and to his country to vote for
the best men, and to take some
interest in public affairs; and to
do so without thought of the Al
mighty Dollar.

Mr. J.S. Tata writes from Mc-
Intyre, Fla., that he had a fearful
experience iu a wind storm at that
place ou July 31st. With little
warning ou the little island where
he has resided for the past few
mouths, his entire family came
near being blown away by a most
terrific wind and rain storm. The
mill at which he was working is a
complete wreck. Not a whole
house was left ou the island. For
six hours he stood in the rain with
his baby in bis arms, holding his
little boy by the hand. But for
lodging against some rafts, his
wife would have been blown into
the river. He only managed to
save a few wearing clothes.

The Bank of Lawrenceville
hangs up a neat sign to the effect
that they are protected by a poli
cy in the Bankers Mutual Casualty
Company. This refers to an in
surance policy issued by the com
pany to the bank, indemnifying it
from loss that may be caused by
a burglary or robbery of the bank,
and secures the bank and its pa
trons from the danger of loss
from that score. The company
issuing the policy pays the loss
occasioned, and in addition to
this money protection, the Com
pany has an efficient detective
service which is atonce put on the
track of a criminal who interferes
with any bank holding a policy in
the Company, and bringing the
burglar or robber to bay and trial
regardless of the time and effort
required. Punishment is sure to
overtake any person who attacks
the bank in the way of burglary or
robbery. The patrons of the bank
can readily see the great merit of
such protection.
