McHelley, Editor. r Til K NEGRO IN POLITICS f The interviews with leading demo rats which we print in to day’s paper ,n reference to the elimination of the jjegro from democratic primaries, (hows an overwhelming sentiment in Ivor of that policy, and we have no loubt about the county executive com nittee adopting it. 1 This sentiment is not confined to hbis county, but is almost universal in Ijhe Southern states. 1 n many of them , .;he colored vote has not only been ex cluded from participating in primaries jut constitutional amendments have jeen adopted which absolutely dis ’ranchise three-fourths of this class of Voters. j In North Carolina an amendment was proposed by the last legislature lenying the right to vote to all negroes who cannot read the constitutitn of be United States, and its ratification it the next general election seems as lured by an overwhelming majority. l'hia amendment will not affect the lliterate white vote, however, as it ex pressly excepts from its operation de fendants of those who were entitled ;o exercise the elective franchise prior to 1867. Louisiana and Mississippi have already adopted similar amend ments, and the supreme conrt of the United States has held that this pro vision is not in conflict with theteder il constitution, A similar amendment should be sub mitted to the people of Georgia by the legislature, at its next session, and we sincerely trust this will be done. Pub lic sentiment is ripe for it, and if the people are given an opportunity they will rush It through with a whoop, f This radical change in the sentiment hf the people is due to the corruption that has been brought about in recent years, by the struggle of Undemocrat ic and populist parties to control the negro vote. i The populist party inaugurated the movement by allowing and inviting negro delegates to sit with them in their state and county conventions. While the democrats always vehe mently opposed placing themselves on Such a social level with this element, yet they went to work and managed, in the end, to corral this vote on elec- Wwn °* The unfortunate division of the white people, which was brought shout by the birth of populism, clothed the negro with an importance that was new and captivating to him. Armed with the Balance of power, he was placed where he could dictate terms to both parties, and he did not hesitate to take advantage of condi tions, by placing himself where he was open to conviction by the proper ‘’ar gument,” and it is no secret that every ‘argument” was a dollar, or fractional part tberef. » While this serious division between the white people continued there was no chance to religate the colored brother to the rear where he properly belongs, but now that populism has spent its force the time has come for the rectification of the serious mis takes that have been committed in re cent years. On an issue like this there will be practical unanimity among the whites, regardless of former divisions. This is a platform upon which we can all unite, and those who, through preju lice or selfish motives, stand aloof will feel lonesome in their isolation. Within the last ten days we have ueard oyer fifty populists publicly de clare their readiness to come back into ;be democratic party whenever it elim nated the negro from its primaries, ind among these were men who have jeen prominent and influential in their larty. Recent occurrences, which have so tlarmed the women in the rural sec ions as to keep them in a state of con stant fear and dread, have demonstra ted to the white people the importance )f coming together again. Public sen iment has turned into that channel, tnd no power on earth can divert it i n its course. The time has come for |til division and bitterness to cease, f'l'he people realize it, and the politi cians cannot prevent it. I Once more there is a new thing In cotton. Prof. Thiele, u Ger man living in Texaß, has invented I process for delinting cotton seed with a secret chemical. The pro «ss removes every particle of the tut, which is impossible in the Mechanical processes used at all >f the oil mills, and at the same ime does not injure either the eed or the germ. In the delint ptg there is obtained a product rom the dissolved lint which is joved to contain all of the prop rties of arabic acid. It is said .his product can be used as a sub stitute for gum arabic, cert-sine, gjextrine, etc., and may be em ployed for thickening colors, pre paring ink, stiffening hats, and in mulsious, varnishes, mucilages,! |tc. J lt can also be used in the rasnufacture of cigars and tobbac- L. Seed deliuted by the new pro fess, it is claimed, will give a finer j trade of oil than by (he old pro MORGAN SAYS EXVANSION IB THE BAI.VATION OK COTTON. Chicago, September B.—A spe cial to The Times-Herald from Washington says: Senator Morgan, of Alabama, prophesies that expansion will be 1 the salvation of cotton, and is about to start a crusade in the south to spread the new gospel, i In his prophetic vision he sees Manila the great cotton market of the world instead of Liverpool. Instead of paying toll to British brokers, spinners and ship owners, he predicts the time is coming when Americans in an American city in the Pacific isles will handle two-thirds of the cotton of the world and save billions to the cotton growers of America. “Liverpool has built on Ameri can cotton at the expense of Amer ican growers, while Manchester has thrived at the expense of American spinners,” said Senator Morgan. “Why should the Uni ted States continue to enrich those British cities ? Why should the price of cotton growiug in Ala bama and Texas be fixed by men in Liverpool. “Manila offers the key for es cape from this commercial thral dom. There at the very door of Asia is an American city with a splendid harbor, and the day is coming when it will rob Liverpool of much of its cotton trade. Cot ton and cotton goods will be ship ped west to the Pacific, carried to Manila and distributed from that port up and down the Asiatic coast without paying toll to Liver pool and Manchester. There is not only the saving in transporta tion to be considered, for the re handling, iu effect, entails a num ber of extra charges. Remember, that Asia has two-thirds of the consuming power of the world, and you see the importance of this trade and the promise held out to Manila ” LOCAL NEWS.

THE NEGRO MUST GO! No Longer Will He Be Tolerated In Democratic Primaries. Sentiment of Gwinnett Democracy Over whelmingly Against Him. TO test the sentiment of the people on the subject of eliminating the negro from the democratic primary elections of Gwinnett county, the editor of the News-Herald sought, expressions from rep resentative democrats Tuesday. Of the 88 interviewed, only 8 ex pressed themselves in favor of allowing the negro to remain. The men interviewed were caught at random, as the editor came to them, in the crowd that thronged the court house square, and the expres sions, therefore, may be taken as an average of the sentiment that prevails throughout the county. The men interviewed are represen tative democrats of their neighborhoods, and are scattered in every district iu the county.

Mitchell—For a white primary. Victor Smith—l am opposed to the negro voting in democratic primaries, but favor his occupation as an incessant field laborer from sun up to sun down, and his com plete elimination from politics. (Mr. Smith lives in Atlanta, but is largely interested in Gwinnett couuty real estate.) R. 0. Medlock —For a white primary, strictly. A. A. Johnson—For a straight white primary—all wool and a yard wide. Cicero Martin—Put me down for a white primary. A. W, Moore—For a white pri mary. Dr. S. L.

A lot of our people are attend ing court this week. Several new dwelling houses have been built here recently. R. H. Allen is quite sick this week. Everyone who knows Mr. Allen wishes for his speedy recov ery. lluf'iid ooKool opened up lion* day morning with a fair attend ance. There is some dissatisfac tion over the way the school is to be run, caused mostly by the peo ple not understanding the rules of the new management. Prof. Wright, the new Principal of the Buford school, comes high ly recommended, and it is hoped that the people will send their children, and make the school what it ought to be—the best school in Gwinnett county. There haH been three deaths in our city itvthe last week. Mark Burton, sou of Mr, and Mrs. Cicero Burton, aged thirteen years. Mrs. Prater, wife of Mr. Seth Prater, aged about seventy; and William Brady aged about twenty-five. Protracted meeting is in progress this week at the Baptist church. The services are conducted by the pastor. Rev. T*T. Twitty, who is ably assisted by Rev. Frank Jack son, of Winder. With these two good men ct the helm it is hoped that great good will result from this meeting. To the credit of all concerned it can be said that very near all, if not all, of the public roads of Su gar Hill district have been wed worked in the last ten days. It can be safely said' that the roads are now in better condition than they have been for several years. And it is to be hoped that the County Commissioners and over seers will get out of the idea of just working roads twice a year, and get into the practice of work ing whenever the road needs it. Four-fifths of our people favor working the roads by taxation, anyhow. Why cai.’t we nave that kind of a law ? The people in other sections of the county can’t imagine the in convenience it is to our people here in Buford to attend court in Lawreuceville. Sugar Hill district has a population of not less than three thousand people, and the fartherest part of the district is 20 miles from the court bouse —20 sol id miles of hills and hollows, that takes an ordinary team five hours to travel. There is the reasonable man who will say we ought not to have a new county ? Another consideration is that two-thirds of the criminals of this corner of the county go unpunished on account of the g:eat inconvenience in reaching the county court house. It is to be hoped that our fellow citizens of other sections of the county will extend us their sympa thy, and when the time comes not oppose us iti our efforts to get a new county. SNELLVILLE.

The Board of Trustees of this school met last Saturday afternoon to elect a teacher, but failed to agree on one. Ttnre is no necessi ty in such doings. Let’s get to gether and show to all that we want to work together for the good of the community.
