there is no excuse for any intelli
gent citizen of Gwinnett being
without his county paper and one
or more of the above first-class
journals. The year 1900 is near
at hand, and that is campaign
year. You will want to hear the
news, and now is the time to sub
scribe.
Coffee, Ware, Wayne and some
other of the counties in that sec
tion are advertising or agitating
the subject of having a bill passed
by the coming session of the legis
lature to establish dispensaries in
those counties.
Col. W. H. Dabney, the oldest
and most distinguished lawyer of
the Cherokee circuit, died at Cal
houn Friday morning at 6 o’clock.
He had been confined to his bed
for some weeks as a result of a
stroke of paralysis, and the end
was not unexpected. His death
was a quiet one.
Mr. C. B. Newman, constable of
the 755th district G. M., of Cowe
ta county, had his right hand and
arm lacerated so badly in his gin
Friday morning that amptuation
was necessary just above the el
bow. He is in quite a critical
condition. Mr. Newman is one of
Coweta’s best citizens.
There can be no question that
small grain will be planted around
Macon this fall. Already the
farmers are laying in large sup
plies of seed, and seed wheat and
oats are in great demand. One
of Macon’s leading merchants on
Thursday sold 1,000 bushels of
oats to one farmer, who will plant
them as soon as he can get a sea
son.
Ocouee Enterprise: In several
places we notice the farmers are
cutting down their cotton stalks
and curing them for hay. The
fleecy staple has all been picked
in many places and the army
worm having destroyed all the
grass forces the tiller of the soil
to turn his attention to something
else for hay. The cotton plants
are green and luxurious and when
properly cured are said to make
good feed for cows.
Dahlonega Signal: The Cal
houn placer is certainly a gold
mine which produces the king
metal in proper quantities. Last
week 200 pennyweights of gold
were taken from a small ditch,
into which only a few bushels of
gravel had deposited It is said
that every shovelful of this gravel
was worth 50 cents in gold Mr
Wharton is now getting ready to
work some matter which is said to
be worth one dollar to the pau
full.
Meriwether Vindicator: Tues
day afternoon the gin house of
Mrs. M. J. Sammons, near Jones’
mills, caught afire and was rapidly
consumed. With the gin and ma
chinery were burned eight bales of
cotton. The fire is supposed to
have originated from a match in
the cotton that was being ginned.
No insurance. The cotton of Mr.
Bartow Milam was being ginned
when the flames bust out. The
lint flamed up instantly almost
like powder.
Thursday afternoon three miles
from Athens, as the Georgia train
was approaching that city, the
three rear coaches became de
tached from the other part of the
train and as they were the heavy
coaches of the Field’s minstrel
troupe, they rollod down grade so
rapidly as to almost overtake aud
crush into the train. The engineer
opened the throttle wide and after
a hard race succeeded in barely es
caping a collision with the flying
coaches
Swainesboro Pine Forest: It
seems that whoever represents
Emanuel county this time will
have his hands full of local bills.
There will be a bill for the relief
of Mrs. M. V. Lane; one to amend
the road laws of Emanuel county ;
one to incorporate Swainesboro
anew; one to abolish the county
commissioners of Emanuel county
aud oDe to amend the act creating
the City Court of Swainesboro, and
we might as well here add that the
City Court would be abolished if
it were not before the same legis
lature creating it. And therefore
such a bill cannot be entertained
during the pending legislature.

TBE PEOPLE AKE AGAINST IT.
The editor of the News-Herald
mixed with the yoemanry from
the rural districts who had gath
ered here Tuesday, and sought ex
pressions from them concerning
the effort that is being made to
establish a dispensary for the sale
of liquor in thisjcounty.
Interviews were had with 67
citizens from various parts of the
county, and the overwhelming
sentiment was against the dispen-
sary •
Of the number interviewed only
14 expressed themselves in favor
of the dispensary, while 82 were
against it, and 11 undecided.
The 32 who expressed them
selves against the dispensary were
very emphatic in their opposition,
and were among the very best cit
izens of the coanty. Their man
ner of answering the querry, “Are
you for or against the proposed
dispensary ?” indicated a deep
seated determination on their
part to fight the measure to the
bitter end, while those answering
in the affirmative indicated only
a quasi support of the dispensary
idea.
The News-Herald believos the
agitation of this question, and the
insistance upon the establishment
of a dispensary in our midst, is
calculated to provoke much dis
cord among out citizens and in
jury to the county, and for that
reason hopes the advocates of the
proposed dispensary may desist
in their purpose.
The overwhelming sentiment of
the people of the county is against
it, and certainly ao good can come
from a campaign to establish a
dispensary.
While we have the evil of “blind
tigers” to contend with we are
truly glad to see an awakening of
the Christian, law-abiding citizens
of the county in opposition to
them, and a determination on
their part to break them up.
Many of the ‘‘blind tigers” are
under surveillance, and if they do
not desist in their illegal traffic
they will be brought sooner or
later before Judge Russell and
made to pay heavy penalties for
their violations of law.
The sentiment against blind
tigers is certainly growing, and
with persistent, determined effort
on the part of the Christian, law
abiding citizens of the county,
this curse will soon be driven from
our midst.
The people do not want a dis
pensary—they will not tolerate
it—and the ultimatum has gone
forth that, blind tigers must be
broken up.
If the guilty do not take warn
ing, they must Buffer the conse
quences, for the eye of the law is
upon them.
Mrs. William Dudley was bound
over uuder a charge of adultery
before Justice Dyer Friday morn
ing, in Gaine.-ville, and placed un
der a S2OO bond. A warrant for
murder was first sworn out against
her, but the attorney for the pros
ecution dismissed it and Bwore out
one for the other charge instead.
William Dudly waived commit
ment, and will be tried for murder
at the regular term of Hall Supe
rior Court. In the trial the court
house was crowded with people
Mrs. O’Kelley sat near the states
attorney all during the trial and
seemed to be grieved. Dudley sat
quietly and unconcerned. Mrs.
Dudley made her statement, and
seemed to be deeply affected. She
was the wife of Dudley, who killbd
O’Kolley and another man he
found at his home.
Macon News: Mr. J. N. Lewis,
the biggest farmer in Middle Geor
gia, brought 150 bales of cotton to
Macon this morning by wagon,
the lot being the largest that has
ever been hauled through the
country into the oity. He carried
the lot to Mayer & Watts, the well
known Cotton factors,aud they de
cided to give a parade, with the
fleecy staple and Mr. Lewis as the
prominent features. A brass band
was secured and all the principal
streets were traversed. Mr. Lewis
rode in a buggy in front of the
long line of wagons. Each wagon
was drawn by two mules and was
loaded with three bales of cotton.
The cotton is all of Mr. Lewis’
raising. He had already brought
in 119 bales and says he has 200
; more at home. Two hours were
! occupied in the weighing and sam
pling at the warehouse aud when
i this had been completed the lot
| sold for 6{c per pound, the whole
lot being sold at something over
$5,000.

there are 29 negroes in prison out

to make him a better citizen.

Why a Texas Farmer and Compress Nan
Wishes Siuvbom to the American Cot
ton Company’s I’aokage.
The following letter from Mr. J.
Adoue, of Calvert Texas is interesting
as siloing the attitude toward the
American Cotton Company’s Koundlap
bale of a man who is a cotton farmer
as well as the owner of a square bale
compress:
“Dear Sir: A few days ago I noticed
a bill introduced in the Legislature
proposing to tax your company 40 per
cent, of its gross receipts. I presume
the bill is intended to confiscate your
property or drive you out of the State.
“Your machinery compresses the
cotton in a smaller and better package
than the present compresses. You are
in the field now offering to save the
the cotton growers fully SI.OO per bale
by reason of compressing the cotton at
the gin and the saving of bagging and
ties, yarding, etc.
“No doubt, it is the intention of the
Legislature to protect the present com
presses from your iniquitous competi
tion, and as a compress man I want
them to do it.
“As a farmer, however, I hope you
will not be driven out. I want to con
tinue to sell you my cotton at about
SI.OO per bale more than if put up in
square bales.
Yours truly,
(Signed) J. Adoue.

By making a map of Schley
county and checking up every lot
and fraction belonging to every
individual, the fact has been re
vealed that there is a badly con
fus id state of affairs iu existence.
Scores of people give in numbers of
lots of land that they do not own,
and there are often cases where
four or five pay taxes on the same
lot by number aud do not give in
their own lands. Some have deeds
to and have lived on lands for
years that by these numbers are
not in the county, or probably six
or eight miles away. This move of
the commissioners to have every
acre of land in the county returned
for taxes will be worth much to the
people iu correcting this confused
state of affairs, and it has created
I much uneasiness.

And didn't “Rounder” say some
good things in last week’s issue ?
We say amen to every word, and
stand on the same platform. Give
us a better jury law, and just like
he explained it, at that. This is
what we have been contending for
a long while. The legislative can
didate that will pledge himself to
introduce such a bill will over
whelmingly carry Berkshire.
Let our legislative members stick
to the bill of doing away with the
city court. Judge Russell is hot
enough for the boys.
A dispensary at Lawrenceville
will lie the ruination ot many a
man and boy, and will bring des
olation to the mother and children.
Look how peaceable it is now at
Lawrenceville to what it would be
if a barroom was there. Now a
farmer can go to town with his
cotton and bring his money back
homo and pay his debts, and if
there was a barroom there he would
spend $5 for liquor and sls and
cost in the mayor’s court. Law
reuceville would have to build a
“drunkard’s jail. ” Let’s all work
against it, uphold Christianity and
let Judge Russell attend to the
blind tiger.
And again, we notice a bill to
prohibit seining in Gwinnett’s wa
ters. It is against the law now to
throw dynamite in water, which is
as it should be, but when we have
to depend wholly on book and
worm, we won’t eat many fish. Let
the people seiii. It won’t inter
fere with the little fish, and not
many of the large oues.

TO YOUR INTEREST!
We come to you with a plain business proposition. Mr. C. G. Han
nah, who has been in business at this place for two years, decided
to return to Atlanta; in order to do so he had to close out his bus

following prices. Remember this is no job lot of stuff; in fact,
some of the goods were in the depot when we bought him out. Of
