The Judge “winks the other eye.” as if he would not be amiss to entering 1 the race for legislative houors next year. 1 Up to Wednesday noon only 5 bales of new cotton had been sold in this market.

The most noted case to be tried is that of the State vs. Sam Smith, charged with the murder of Coker. It will be remembered that he was con victed at the last term of this court, but his attorneys carried the case to the Supreme court, which tribunal granted a new trial. Col John R. Cooper, of Macon, is Smith’s leading counsel, with Col. Oscar Brown as associate. The State will be represented by Col. C. H. Brand. Within the past two years three stores have been burglarized in Lawrenceville, and the midnight looters have gone unpunished. Circumstances clearly indicate that the burglars are not strangers to this section, and that “home talent” done the work. The only way to break up this criminal ele ment is to punish to the full ex tent of the law every thief or would-be burglar when he is caught up with. It is nothing less than an outrage upon society when one of these midnight maruders is turned loose on the community when his identity is known and testimony at hand to convict him. The editor made a hurried trip to the flourishing little city of Lo ganville Tuesday, in company with Mr W. O, Cooper. Logan ville is making steady and sub stantial progress; three new' busi ness houses being under construc tion on the principal street, are built of granite from a quarry in the corporate limits belonging to Mr. E. M. Rockmore. The stone has proven to be an excellent ma terial for building purposes and it may be developed on an extensive scale within the near future. Lo ganville is reaching out for trade in all directions, and some of the business men down there are going to talk to our readers through our advertising columns this fall.

Tax Digest Shows An Alarming Condition of Affairs. The Tax Dodgers to the Tune of $200,- 000 or More in Gwinnett. Tax Collector Moore, in making up his tax receipts, has made the astounding discovery that there are tax defaulters by the score in Gwinnett county, some of them large property holders. Every district in the county can show up defaulters, and on a safe estimate fully $200,000 worth of taxable property is escaping taxation by reason of these defaulters. There are several property own ers in Lawrenceville district whose names do not appear on the tax digest. Tax Collector Moore has no de sire to double tax any of these defaulters, but he will be com pelled to do so if they do not come forward and make a return of their property at once. Unless returns are made during the first week of September court (next week) the grand jury will no doubt take action in the matter and appoint a committee tc* go over the lists by districts and double tax every defaulter. If you have not given in your property to the tax receiver you are doubtless aware of it, and you should lose no time in doing so unless you want to be double taxed. The News-Herald wants every man to bear his honest and just proportion of the burden of taxa tion, and whenever we get infor mation of a reliable character that tax dodgers and tax defaulters are playing their game of cheat we propose to point it out to the of ficers of the law, whose duty it is to bring them up to toe the mark. Tax Collector Moore is alive to the situation and is going to do his whole duty, regardless of the defaulters and dodgers, and the tax-payers who make their honest returns are going to stand by him and the News-Herald in their fight against this class of men. Protracted Meeting at the Presbyterian Church. These special services will begin on the second Sunday in Septem ber and continue ten days or two weeks. They will be conducted by Rev. Nathan Bachman, assist ed by the pastors of all the churcheu of Lawrencbville, and co-operated in by all the people. The merchants are asked to please arrange to close their stores during the hours of these services and at tend the meetings. Dr. Bachman ranks second to no man in the United States in preaching the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. It will be a distinct bless ing to hear him. All the people of the town are invited to share in this blessing with us. Yours for the work. James Wood Pogue. ~ykbLOW RIVER MIL LS Are now in first-class condition.

Gower’s Distillery Raided By Midnight Marauders. Thursday and Saturday Nights They Broke Open The Bonded Warehouse. John Gower’s government dis tillery was the scene of two daring burglaries last week. The first burglary occurred on Thursday night, the thieves enter ing the bonded warehouse by breaking the lock. About 5 gal lons of corn liquor was stolen. On Saturday night the ware house was again broken open, three locks being wrenched off by the burglars Mr. Gower states that the thieves carried off on this second raid about 15 gallons of spirits. Circumstauces indicate that the same burglars committed both crimes. Mr. Gower is working, in connection with government officers, on clews that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties, so he thinks. Some of the stolen whisky, so Mr. Gower thinks, was found in the possession of a certain party Sunday, who upon being confront ed refused to divulge where he got it. Later on he said he bought the whisky at Loganville, but de clined to name the party he got it from. Mr. Gower applied the test, and the whisky proofed the same as that stolen. Some arrests will probably be made in a few days. Burglaries are getting to be en tirely too common in Lawrence ville and vicinity, and the good citizens owe it to themselves and the good name of Gwinnett county to band themselves together and assist the officers of the law in running down these midnight thieves and bringing them to jus tice. Local Legislation. The law requires that notice be given 30 days prior to its intro duction of any local bill in the legislature, through the official organ of the county to which the legislation applies. The legisla ture meets the 4th Wednesday in October, and our representatives, Hon. N. L. Hutchins, Jr., and Hon. T. A. Pate, ever roady to serve their constituents, request the News-Herald to give notice to the people that should any local measures be desired that notice be given without delay, so they may be introduced in the early days of the session in order to insure th6ir passage.

TO BE ENLARGED To Make Room For Fall Advertisements. | The News-Herald Will Contain Six Pages During the Fall Months. Beginning next week the News- Herald will be enlargsd to a 6- page uewspaper. This enlargement is absolutely necessary to make room for our increasing advertising patronage, which is growing every week. This will enable ns to give more reading matter, also, and will greatly improve the make-up of] the paper. We are going to put renewed j life and energy into the News-j Herald this fall, and expect to enroll one thousand new snbscri-j bers between this and February Ist. A list of all new subscribers and renewals will be published, commencing with our next issue. Next year is “campaign year” and everybody that is anybody will take his county paper to keep posted about what is going on around him. Though the paper is to be in creased in size, the very low price of 75c per year will not be in creased. If you are not already a subscriber, get aboard and quit borrowing. The paper is too cheap to borrow, and is almost worth the price for wrapping paper. With all the petty thievery and burglarizing that has been going on in Lawrenceville for the past three or four years, not one of the guilty parties have been brought to justice. Even when a thief is caught up with, by some hocus-po cus he manages to go iree. If the citizens whose duty it is to punish crime fail to do so, the grand jury should take the matter in hand and sift it to the bottom. Society demands protection, and the grand jury which convenes next week should do their whole duty, with out fear of punishment or hope of reward. The First Bale- The first bale of cotton of the new crop raised in Gwinnett coun ty was marketed at Trip Aug. 28rd, and was bought by the live and enterprising firm of Jacobs & Williams at 6c. The cotton was raised by Geo. Brooks and classed as strict democratic good middling. Old Bay Creek always comes to the front with the first bale, as a rule, and seldom gets beat any thing the good people down there take interest in. It is probably the best agricultural district in the county, and the farms are all in a good state of condition. The firm of Jacobs & Williams is building up a large and exten sive trade in that section and is doing much toward making the pretty little village of Trip an important commercial centre.

Supposed to Have Been Murdered and His Remains Hidden in the Cauebrake. The mystery surrounding the gruesome discovery made near Braden some three weeks ago is being cleared up. Last Friday A. H. Mathews, a physician, and several parties from Atlanta came out and disinterred the skeleton, for the purpose of I identifying it, if possible. From poculiar features of the teeth, and from the hat and shoes 1 worn by the dead man, the re | mains were identified as those of W. E. Gathright, who mysterious-] ly disappeared from his home in Atlanta the Ist of last April. The skull was taken back to Atlanta by Mr. Mathews, for the purpose of aiding the detectives in ferreting out Gath right’s mur derers, as it is strongly suspected that he was killed in Atlanta and his remains taken to near Braden and concealed in the canebrake, where found. As to what became of Mastou, the man who stopped at Mr. Chew ning’s at Tucker, is yet a mystery. However, it seems certaiD that the skeleton is that of Gathright and not Maston. 3. 3. Celebration at Lowery'i Academy. The annual Sunday-school cele bration at Lowery’s Academy, in Harbins district, came off Satur day. Everything necessary had been arranged for an all-round good day, and they had it. The children’s part was a splen did feature of the program, and showed evidence of splendid train ing for the occasion. Prof. Marcus Kilgore, who has been in charge of the children of that community for the past two years, was on hand in his usual role—master of ceremonies. Prof. Kilgore deliv ered an able address at the open ing of the exercises, which was re ceived with much interest. The 11 o’clock hour was taken up by Col. J. A. Perry, of Law renceville, as orator of the day, with the expressed gratification of the entire congregation, Mr. A. Kuight, Winder's fa mous photographer and musician, was present in his usual happy mood, and added much to the pleasure of the meetiug with his music. An impressive welcome is ten dered everyone in Harbins district, and too much praise cannot be given their Sunday-school work. -*THE NEW BLACKSMITH SHOP.*- C. C. WALL, Proprietor.

English Spinners Instruct Their American Agents to Reject It. DO NOT WANT IT AT ANY PRICE. Mr. Will Pentecost, of Missis sippi, who is spending a few days with his mother in this city, re turned Saturday from a trip to New York and other eastorn cities. Mr Pentecost is largely inter ested in cotton buying at Colum bus, Miss. He says eight of the largest English spinners havo in structed their American represen tatives to not ship thorn the round bale, as they cannot use it at any price, claiming that after the cotton is packed it becomes dead and lifeless. In packing the round bale the spindles revolve with fearful ve locity, creating heat in the inte rior of the bale, and this is sup posed to deaden the staple, de stroying its tensile strength. The News-Herald has taken no part in the discussions, pro or con, about this round bale, and the ar ticles that have appeared in our columns, and that will continue to appear for the next few weeks, are paid advertisements of the American Cotton Company. We do not endorse these articles at all. In fact, we have all along thought tho ronudlap bale was a good thing to steer clear of, if for no othor reason than that the presses were being nut in on the royalty plan and wore controlled by a monopoly. There are no roundlap presses in this county, and none are likely to be put it. supeeioe coust. Fall Terms Begins Next Monday. The fall term of Gwinnett Su perior court convenes next Mon day morning.
