Y. World (three times a week) 1.76 Toledo Weekly Blade l-JJ® Sunny South '-To At these extremely low price* 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. The flour handlersjof ;West Su perior struck for $2 a day. 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. * "Great Haste is Not Always Good Speed. cMany people trust to luck to pull them through, and are often disappointed.

Don’t run the subject into the ground. Rev. Ed. Mumford is now en gaged in a noble work at Macon. Well, Ed. always was a noble fel low. The Augusta Chronicle thinks that in seme quarters corn will give cotton a brush for the king ship this year. Washington county is arranging to sow larger areas in small grain and homomade supplies will be more plentiful next year in that county than ever before. Governor Candler is winning the increasing approbation of the peo ple by his close and prompt atten tion to the duties of his office, re marks the Macon News. Tennille News: Up north the negro i* shot down because he of fers to work. If he would be only that bad down here he would rest on a bed of roses instead of be neath a mound of sand. It is estimated by the Savannah News that that city will show an increase by the next census of about 50 per cent, Savannah has been constantly and rapidly grow ing for the last four years Georgia treats the Confederate veterans better than any other southern state. In 1899 we will pay out $052,820 for pensions, which is more than all the other southern states combined, says the Rome Tribune. The Dublin Courier says: New Jersey swindled Georgia out of the Hilton trophy, but that is not surprising. That state is the home of a horde of corporations that are systematically sapping the life blood of the republic. Savannah Press: In the south there are 29 negroes in prison out of every 1,000; in the north there are 09 out of every 1,000. And yet the north lectures the south upon rot treating the negro so as to make him a better citizen. Thomasville Times: Now let’s see what the northern papers will say about half dozou negroes be ing killed in Illinois And they were killed for wanting work. No one ever heard of a negro being lynched in the south for wanting work. KOIISDLAr BALK IS WORTH MOKE. 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. Cai.vkkt, Texas, >'*», 24, 1800.'’ 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. SNELLVILLE. Special to THE HEWS Not much sickness. At the end of the week with fa vo:able weather there will not be much cotton in the patch. W, J.

The Medlock prop erty, at Stone Mountain, was also burned Thursday night. The campaign is drawing closer from president down to coroner, and wo predict that there will be more candidates than ever was known among the county officers. Old Berkshire will come to the front with her full quoto. Thos. W. Lee, of tnis place, will make a hot contest for the treasurer’s of fice, and probably John C. McDan iel, of Lilburn, will be in the race for sheriff, and Dick Garner, of Luxomni, for tax receiver, and others to be heard from. William Johnson and wife, of Sweet Water, were here Sunday, visiting relatives 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. TAX COLLECTOR’S NOTICE. FIRST ROUND.
