BIG COTTON MILL.
The Clark Thread Company May Move
Their Plant From New Jersey to
Gwinnett County.
The Clark Thread Co., of New
Jersey, may move their extensive
manufacturing plant from that
state to Gwinnett county.
Duriug the past week agents of
that company have been at Bu
ford looking up the advantages of
that thriving little city as the
point for locating their mills.
Options on Barker shoals on the
Chattahoochee River have been
taken by the company, and the
plan is to harness the river and
convey the power by electric cur
rent to the mills. At the lowest
stage of the river, the shoals will
afford 1,000 horse power, while by
constructing a 10-foot dam 15,000
horse power can be developed.
It is said that the represeuta
tive of the Clark Co. is highly
pleased with the water power, aud
will recommend the removal of
the mills from New Jersey to or
near Buford.
One plan is to establish a man
ufacturing town at Sugar Hill, 2$
miles this side of Buford, where a
body of about 400 acres of com
paratively level land is available
for the purpose, and to connect
Buford with the same by electric
road. The plan embraces the
building of tho electric road from
Buford to Cunnning, also to Law
reuceville.
Some of Buford’s enterprising
citizens are interested in the pro
ject, and while nothing definite has
yet been done, great enterprises
may evolve from negotiations now
j in progress.
The mills will give employment
I to 1000 hands, and, if they are 3o-
I cated here, will mean much for
j Gwinnett.
Miss Georgia Kuauf, after a
pleasant visit to her parents, left
Monday on her return to lowa,
where she holds a position as
teacher in the public schools of
that state.
M. E. Ewing and son, Jonah,
came near meeting with a serious
accident Monday morning. They
had started out in a buggy to look
at a farm in the country, and in
going down a steep hill the breech
ing broke and the mule ran away.
Both were thrown out, receiving
slight bruises, but nothing serious.

Death of Mr. D. P. Williams.
This community was shocked
last Friday by the announcement
of the sudden death of Mr. D. P.
Williams, one of the oldest aud
most highly esteemed citizens of
Lawrenceville district.
Mr. Williams had been ailing
for some time, but on the fateful
morning had attended to his ac
customed duties about the house,
little aware that death was nigh.
Just as he had finished his break
fast and was seated on the front
veranda, death came to him sud
denly and without a moment’s
warning. He fell to the floor, ut
tering a cry of pain, and when his
sou Fred reached him he gasped
for breath aud expired. Heart
trouble is supposed to have been
the immediate cause of death.
Some two mouths ago Mr. Wil
liams had a stroke of paralysis,and
from that he had not fully recov
ered.
Deceased was about 65 years of
age, and was a native of Gwinnett
county. He leaves four sons to
mourn his loss—T. L. Williams,
C. C. Williams, Fred Williams and
John Williams. The interment
took place Saturday morning in the
new cemetery, at this place, Revs.

Did John Ewing Take His Own Life. Or
Was He Murdered ?
Late Saturday afternoou John
H. Ewing was found dead by his
wife on his bed at his borne in the
upper part of Walton county.
Ewing and his wife had spent
the day at a celearation near their
home, aud he had preceded her in
returning for some time.
His wife’s statement to tho Cor
oner’s jurv was that she entered
the ht use and found him lying up
on his face, and discovered that he
had been shot.
His gun was found leaning
against the bed railing discharged.
He was evidently sitting on the
side of the bed. as one foot was
found resting on the floor. Seem
ingly the blow turned him suf
ficiently for him to fall on his
face, grasping his nose, where the
load of shot entered.
It is the presumption of some
that the murderer took the gun
from the rack and fired it, stand
ing near the door, as the bed was
directly opposite the door.
In support of the murder theory,
several shot were noticed to have
passed his face, and if he had have
used the gun the range would have
been too close to scatter.
Ewing is reported to have been
of a drinking disposition, aud had
■ trouble in his family
Several say that he had consid
lerable money on his person at
j Winder Friday night, and possibly
j he was murdered for his money.

Frstwsll At rested.
J. A. Fretwell of Buford was ar
rested in Oklahoma Territory last
week on warrants issued from
Jackson county which charged
him with having sold territory and
taken notes which did not specify
their consideration in the face of
the note.
Mr, Fretwell is a well known
patent-right man, who makes his
money out of patents by selling
“blue sky.” In December 1897 a
law was passed which made it a
criminal offense to take a note rs
this character without stating the
consideration in the face of the
note. About a month later, and
before a great many knew that
such a law had been passed, Mr.
Fretwell, or some one for him,
took these notes iu the old formal
way. The good people of Jackson
county are victims, and as a result
there are several true bills against
Mr. Fretwell.
The prisoner was arrested iu
Oklahoma just as he was selling
one hold of a territory for a livery
stable valued at $2,500.
He reached Gainesville in charge
of an Oklahoma officer last Satur
day and was carried to Jefferson.
It cost something over S2OO to
bring him back for trial, and as
could not give bond he was lodged
in jail to await trial this week.
It, is said that he missed making a
$2,500 deal by reason of having
been arrested and that he wili
make it warm for his prosecutors.
It is rumored that a heavy dam
age suit will follow his trial. It
is also claimed that if he has vio
lated the law iu question that it
is unconstitutional and void. Let
this be as it may, the case will be
watched with a considerable de
gree of interest. This is a law
that materially affects commercial
paper and the outcome is more
than important.—Gainesville Ea

Has Not Resigned.
Demorest, Ga., Aug., 13, 1899.
Editor News-Herald: Please
aid me in denying the report that
I have resigned the presidency of
J. S. Green College. I have had
no such thought, and the report is
altogether false.

To the Teaohcrs:
As I have been unable to secure
the “two prominent educators” to
carry out the program as arranged
for our meeting at Level Creek, I
have, after consulting some of the
teachers, decided it best to post

complish nothing by meeting with

DeKalh’s Big Melon.
From all accounts, the melon
growers this year think a speci
men less than a hundred pounds
is hardly worth pulling. Sheriff
Austin of DeKalb couuty says
that while the papers are report
ing the production of big melous
first iu one section of the state
and then iu another, he wants it
understood that his county desires
to share in Georgia’s reputation
as a melon growing state, aud, iu
support of this claim, he says that
a farmer iu DeKalb county pulled
last year the largest melon ever
grown in Georgia. The melon
was not pulled until fully ripe,
aud when ready for the knife was
brought into Decater aud eaten.
The specimen was not dissected in
the usual way,as the grower want
ed to illustrate the real size of it
in a new way, original to himself.
Securing a hand-saw he cut off
both ends of the, melon, and then
tunneling out the contents with a
spade, the grower crawled through
his product with the same ease he
would go through a flour barrel,
being received with cheers as he
came out of the opening All of
this, he says, occurred in DeKalb
county and no other section of
the state furnished any part of
the program. The farmer who
grew the melon was a DeKalb
country man, the melon was
raised aud eaten in that county,
and that the two or three score of
people that the mammoth produc
tion fed were all residents of that
couuty.—Macon Telegraph.

; WAS IT MURDER ?
Strong Circumstances Show That the
Skeleton Found Near Braden Was
That of a Murdered Man.
Tucker, Ga., August 18.—The
skeleton found in a swamp on the
plantation of J. L. Brand, three
miles from here, is supposed to be j
the remains of Harry A. Maston, j
of Macon.
A stranger came to this place on
February 11th of this year, during
the blizzard, and gave his name as |
Harrj’ A. Maston. He stated that |
he was master machinist in a rail
road shop in Macon and had a
difficulty with a man on January
28th and shot him ; that he board
ed a traiu that night, went to Sa
vannah, then to Charleston, then
to Augusta, and from there came
to Stone Mouutain, where he got
off the train and walked across
the country to Tucker. While
here he stopped with Mr. Chew
ning, to whom he related the above
story.
The stranger was drinking heav
ily. On February 14th he left
Mr. Chewning’s house, stating
that he was going to Danville,
Va., to visit an old college mate,
and that he would write Mr
Chewuing when he arrived'ut Dan
ville. No letter came.
Maston, as he called himsGl',
was about forty-five or fifty years
of age; about five feet ten inches
in height and weighed about one
hundred and sixty pounds; had
light hair, a little gray; fair skin,
blue or gray eyes, very prominent
cheek bones and had a moustache.
He was well dressed.
Articles found near the skeleton
prove beyond doubt that the bones
were the remains of the stranger.
Sixty-five cents iu silver was also
found. Near the bones was a pis
tol, and carved on the stock of it
was the name “John Dickerson.”
Who the stranger was no one
knows. The name on the pistol
and the name given by the man
do not agree, and cause the people
to doubt the story told by him.
The remains were buried bv the
citizens at Harmony Grove church,
in Gwinnett couuty.
In addition to the above facts,
which was clipped from the Con
stitution of last Saturday, other
circumstances have come to light
which indicate that Maston was
muidered
The stranger was seen the day
he left Chewning’s house, so it
is stated, in the company of a ne
gro who is reported to be a “blind
tiger,” walking along the railroad
near the canebrake where the skel
eton was found. The stranger
had a large roll of greenbacks on
his person when he left Chewning’s
house, and the fact that no money
except 65 cents in silver was found
with the skeleton is regarded as
suspicious. The shoes worn by
Maston and the pistol he had with
him have been identified as those
found with the skeleton.
The negro under suspicion as
having killed the straoger has been
spending money freely of late,
without any visible means of
acquiring it honestly.
These circumstances clearly in
dicate that tbe man was foully
murdered aud robbed, and if they
are true, the officers whose duty it
is to ferret out the murderer should
place this negro under arrest md
let the next grand jury thoroughly
investigate the matter.
WILL LUCAS CONVICTED,
Murderer of Robert F. Davis Sets a Life
Sentence.
Atlanta, Aug. 19. —Will Lucas
was found guilty in the superior
court of DeKalb county of the
crime of murder with a recommen
dation of mercy, and immediately
upon the verdict being rendered
Judge Candler sentenced Lucas to
the peniteutiary for life. The
crime for which he was convicted
was the killing of Robert F. Da
vis, a prominent citizen of De-
Kalb county, The murder was
committed on the morning of
March 12 last, just before daylight.
Mr. Davis was awakened from
sleep by hearing some one on the
front porch of his house, aud
while endeavoring to ascertain
who was there was fired upon and
killed. The evidence was to a
large extent circumstantial. The
trial of the case was commenced
yesterday and concluded at 8:30
this afternoon, at which hour the
verdict was returned.

Sketch of One :f Lawrenceville’s Sons
i While the Athens train was wait
| ing the other day to exchange her
passengers a man stepped from
one of the coaches, and for a min
ute or two closely scanned the part
of the city as seen from the Sea
board depot. His eyes seemed to
be searching for some familiar
spot; and so they were, but the
hills and green trees stood between
him and the object of his glance,
and he turned once more into the
train with some disappointment.
This man was Lieutenant Basil
Lenoir of the United States Signal
Service, who was then on his way
to spend a few days with his moth
er in Oconee county before sailing
under special orders for the Phil
ippines.
Lieutenant Lenoir was born for
ty years ago in the house now oc
cupied by the Honorable Judge of
our City Court, Judge Sam J.
Winn. His mother, after the
death of his father, married a Col.
Evans, but is now a Mrs. Middle
brooks, of Farmington, Oconee
county. A few of the older citi
zens remember her well. She was
a special friend of the family of
Mr. G. W. Ambrose.
The Lieutenant is a remarkable
mau in many ways; perhaps es
pecially in the wonderful success
he has achieved in his chosen pro
fession. By hard study and prac
tical sense ho has gained the ap
proval of the War Department,
aud has filled many difficult and
dangerous appointments. He is
just back from duty in Porto Rico,
where he filled a Major’s place in
superintending the erection of a
long line of government telegraph.
In his line of service he has trav
eled in nearly every country iu the
world, and has sailed into every
port where the American flag can
enter. Lieutenant Lenoir is a type
of healthy Americanism, which
knows no failure and shirks no
task. He successfully passed once
a very difficult competitive exami
nation over the head of President
Garfield’s son, aud several other
young men, the sous of men of na
tional fame.
Socially, he is somewhat reserv
ed, and except to his immediate
family, says very little about his
life. He is a widower with two
very beautiful little daughters,one
of whom is now in Montana.
He is now in mid ocean, sailing
to take the place of a Captain who
was killed by the natives of the
Philippines.
What a pity he could not have
gtayed iu town long enough to
have become more familiar with
his native place 1 How he would
have enjoyed standing once more
on the grounds his feet first pressed
and viewing the scenes of child
hood days. But duty called him
on, perhaps to death for his coun
try, and to add his name to the
roster of heroes who have gone out
from Lawrenceville to return no
more.
Let me add : By careful invest
ment of his money he has amassed
a snug fortune, estimated at two
hundred thousand dollars. He
owns several lots in the heart of
Helena, Montana, which are worth
from seventy-five to one hundred
thousand dollars.
The life of this inau should be
an incentive to every boy in Gwin
nett county to secure an education
at any cost, to push forward
for better things, to aim high
and struggle on persistently.
Lieutenant Lenoir might have
been satisfied with twenty-five dol
lars a month, but he has patiently
worked up to a position which
pays him two hundred and twen
ty-five dollars a month, aside from
his clothing, doctor bills, travel
ing expenses and many other
extras
This but shows what grit and
application can do.

Prof. Wright and family moved

teaching at Dawson, Ga., and
comes here to take charge of the
Buford school. He comes highly
recommended as an educator.
A large crowd utteuded Luw
renceville campmeeting Sunday
from our city, und it is reported
by some who returned late Sun
day night that there was seme
very ungeutlemauly behavior along
the road from the camp ground to
Buford.
Such conduct as that mentioned
above is caused directly by the
promiscuous sale of liquor through
out the county, and especially iu
Buford. We truly hope our next
grand jury will do its whole duty
on the liquor question in Buford.
Our town authorities seem to be
totally incompetent to cope with
this greatest of all evils.
It is gratifying to r the people of
Buford and Sugar Hill district to
see from figures published iu last
week’s News-Herald that Sugar
Hill has the largest individual tax
payer iu the county. It is also
gratifying to see that Sugar Hill
returns 66 more polls than any
other district iu the county. We
also iearu from the same table of
figures that the four districts
along the Southern ruilruad re
turn one-third the taxable prop
