a dozen stalks of his Mammoth
Big 801 l Cotton last Saturday

Mr. James M. Head, of near
Suwanee, was in town Wednesday,
driving a pair of venerable miles.
Oue of them is 82 years old, and
is still hale and hearty, able to do
its part in the cotton field, or in
any other place. Mr. Head has
been working this mule since she
was 18 months old, and it is his
intention to keep her till she dies,
even though he has to retire her
on the invalid pension list.
Mack Cornett continues to pur
chase more land. This w’eek he
bought the Vaughan-Pentecost
farm, containing 260 acres. This
makes about one thousand acres
that Mr. Cornett has bought in
the last twelve months, and he is
not yet satisfied. He would like
to buy everything that joins him.
Gwmuett dirt is a good invest
ment, and Mack is showing his
wisdom in buying more whenever
he sees a bargain in it.
Jack Brogdou has completed his
season’s work with his McCormick
mower, cutting grass for those
who had no machiues. He has
mowed for Mr. H. L. Peeples and
Mr. Idol Corbin, who had their
meadows in fine shape, consequent
ly produced an excellent quality
of hay. In all, Mr. Brogdon has
mowed about 100 acres, and he
says more peavines and hay have
been saved this year than hereto
fore, showing that Gwinnett is in
good shape to keep her stock sleek
and fat during the coming winter.

Will Likely Get Squelched,
Mr. E. M. Brand, of Lawrence
ville, is urging the people of Gwin
nett county to adopt the dispensa
ry plan of dealing with the liquor
question.
As might have been expected,
he is being attacked by two wide
ly different elements—the total
abstainors and the moonshiners.
The former are opposed to the dis
pensary because it would legalize
the sale of whisky in the county,
and the latter are opposed to it
because it would compete with
their business.
And so, between the upper mill
stone of teetotalers and the nether
stone of blockaders, Mr. Brand’s
well-meaning movement bids fair
to be squelched lifeless.—Alpha

Hr. E. 0. Medlcck.
In last week’s issue of the Nor
cross Nows Mr. R.O. Medlock pub
lished a “paper” which he mis
names “a card,” purporting to
be a “reply” to a news-article in
The News-Herald of October 20th,
in which was given an account of
his law-suit with Mrs. Sidney M.
Smith.
The News-Herald gave.a fair
and impartial account of the trial,
warranted by the evidence and the
verdict, aud does not feel called
upon to print Mr. Medlock’s “pa
per” in reply, as he has requested
us to do. Our dealings with this
case was in line of our duty as a
news-gatherer, and was published
as a matter of news to our 1500
subscribers throughout the county.
Mr. Medlock and his fiiends feel
aggrieved at the publication, and
in his “paper” ho gives a very
elaborate rehersal of his testimo
ny as sworn to on the stand in
the trial of the case, aud which
seemed to have no effect with the
jury. His efforts to make the
public believe bis story by having
it published in “every paper in the
county” will fall short of his pur
pose if the people give as little
credit to it as the jury did
to his sworn testimony.
We do not propose to lend the
columns of the News-Herald to a
discussion of this matter to Mr.
Medlock, but shall coutiuue to
give the news to our readers, re
gardless of the prcmiuence of those
it effects. Especially will this
news be given when it becomes a
matter of public record, in the
courts of our county, as was the
case in the Smith-Modlock suit.
The News-Herald has cast no
reflections upon the character of
Mr. Medlock, and if his character
has been injured it is no fault of
this paper. He has been weighed
in the balance by 12 honest and
upright citizens of his countv,
who had sworn to do their duty.
That duty has been performed,and
the result is known to the world.
The News-Herald is not to be
made tie nursery of broken-down
characters, but is always ready
and anxious to do justice to every
man, at the same time performing
its duty to its readers as a public
journal. Mr. Medlock has no just
cause of complaint against this
paper, hence we must respectfully
decline to admit his “paper” into
our columns as a matter of “jus
tice” to him.
Should be desire it published as
an advertisement the same rate
given to others will be accorded
him.
We called Maj. Simmons’ atten
tion to that part of Mr. Medlock’s
“card” in which it is stated that
he would not have brought the Buit
against Mr. Medlock if he had seen
the receipt for SI,OOO alleged to
have been signed by Mrs. Smith,
and asked his version of that mat
ter, to which he replied:
“When Judge Fort asked me to
become associated with him as
counsel for Mrs. Smith, I told him
that the charge was a very serious
oue, and that I would inquire into
the matter further before having
anything to do with it. Before
hringing suit, I wrote Mr. Medlock
a letter, informing him of what
had occurred between Judge Fort
and myself, in which 1 stated that
the charge was a very serious one,
and as we had always been friends
I would like to have an interview
with him before instituting suit.
He replied, thanking me for my
action in the matter, and promised
to come to see me. Afterwards I
met him on the train at iNorcross,
and he promised to come to see
me, stating that he could satisfy
me that Mrs. Smith had no just
claim against him. He never
complied with his promise, and I
filed the suit
“I stated while on the stand as
a witness during the trial, that ns
I had never seen Mrs. Smith or her
handwritiug before I filed the suit,
that I would not have done so if
he had come to see me and shown
this receipt, because I would have
had no reason then to doubt its
genuineness. In my argument to
the jury 1 stated that mv opinion
was that Medlock did not come
and produce that paper because ho
had not at that time prepared it,
and I am still of the same opin
ion, It is possible that I may be
mistaken in this, but I do not
think so.”
Dick Ewing and his friend
Spurge Silvey, of Atlanta, came
up last Saturday night to hunt the
toothsome ’possum. The night
being unpropitioua the ’possums
were not perambulating the forests
that night, and the boys succeeded
only in catchiug a good soaking.
Losing their way in the jungles of
the swamps on Yellow River, at
midnight, and in the midst of a
steady down pour of rain, the
“good times” of ’possum hunting
that they had often heard of was
looked upon by the boys as all a
mythological lie. Dick says ’pos
sums come cheaper in the Atlanta
market than hunting them in
Gwmuett, and will hereafter take
his ’possum suppers at Folsom’s.
Now is the time to remember
The News-Herald.

COTTON MILL EOR
LAWRENCEVILLE.
Meeting to be Held Next Tuesday to Or
ganize For One.
All citizens who feel any interest
in the matter are urged to meet in
the court house next Tuesday at
1:80 o’clock in the afternoon for
the purpose of discussing the sub
ject of establishing a cotton mill
at this point.
Inasmuch as the establishing of
such an industry in our midst is of
the most vital impcrtance to the
growers of cotton, the farmers are
especially urged to be present
It is a fact that towns where cot
ton mills are located have paid
from to lc per pound more for
cotton this year than those towns
where no mills are located.
Mills are paying big dividends
ou the invested capital, aud there
is no reason why one should not
be established in Lawrenceville,
with home capital at its back.
The mill at Dalton paid its
stockholders 98 percent, this year.
The Monroe mill is paying large
dividends to its stockholders.
Atlanta capitalists stand ready
to take $50,000 stock in a mill at
Lawrenceville if the people of
Gwinnett will take $50,000 more.
Let us come together and organize
a plant with SIOO,OOO capital to
manufacture cotton goods at Law
renceville, thus furnishing a home
market for the cotton grown in a
radious of 10 miles of town. This
would mean prosperity to the town
and county, • Without something
of this kind Lawrenceville is bound
to go backward instead of forward.
Other towus will outstrip us in the
march of progress, and Lawrence
ville will be pointed out as a
“finished” cross-roads town if our
citizens do not do something to
bring trade aud activity to it.
Mr. Cuyler Smith, of Atlanta,
will be here on the first Tuesday
by invitation, and will lay before
our people a plan of organization,
and will present the advantages
that would come to our county
with a cotton mill in our midst.
Mr. Smith is an interesting talker,
and will present facts and figures
to show that stockholders in cot
ton mills are sure of permanent
dividends, as the south is fast be
coming the center of the world in
the manufacture of cotton fabrics,
yarns, etc.
The following letter from Mr.
Smith on the subject of the pro
posed cotton mill will be of inter
est to our readers:
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 81, 1899.
Editor News-Herald: —Your let
ter received, I agree with you
that Gwinnett county needs a cot
ton factory, and with the aid of
your citizens one can be built.
Allow me, briefly, to call your at
tention to a few points in favor of
this enterprise. I defy anyone to
find anything against it.
The eyes of the commercial
world are now fixed on the south,
being attracted by the great de
velopment of our industries and
our natural resources. Industrial
development means an investiga
tion of our resources, which will
attract the attention aud capital
of the world.
The cotton factory is but the pi
oneer of many industries. The
New England and British spinners
are working under adverse condi
tions, and ueceßsaiially caunot re
main competitors of the southern
manufacturer. Having traveled
extensively in these great cotton
spinning centers, I know that, re
sulting from our rapid industrial
development, their only hope is to
combino, and by’the promotion of
a trust, temporarily stand oft' the
inevitable, which is—go out of
business or move south. Legisla
tion, trusts, adverse freight rates
skillfully manipulated by great
corporations, financial operations
managed by those who enjoy the
profits resulting to them from the
sale of the cotton crop north and
abroad, and the hue and cry of a
partisan press cannot overcome
the laws of commerce and human
progress and the power of natural
advantages, all of which are in fa
vor of manufacturing cotton in the
south. Southward will the cotton
factory move, and no man can im
pede its progress.
The question of a mark'd for
the goods manufactured by mills
is ably set forth by D. A. Thump
kius, Esq., of North Carolina, who
recently said in a letter which I
quote:
“The business of cotton inanu"
facturitig is the paramount manu
facturing interest of the state.
Next to agriculture it is the prin-
ciple employment of our people.
It returns wages directly to a very
large percentage ofotir population,
and indiroctlv it i« the support of
j many thousands more. A large
number of mills in (his state are
j making goods for the China or
eastern trade. If by any chance
this demand should be cut off, the
mills would be comjielled to shut
down, or to get, into direct compe
tition with the other mills which
are making goods for home con
sumption. You can sec at once
what the importance of the China
trade is to us; it Is everything.
The prosperity of thb cotton mill
business of Sout hCafoliuadepends,
iu our opinion, upon the China
trade. We believe that the expan
sion of this trade is the hope of
the cotton mill industry iu the
south.”
Therefore, if the southern mills
can sell goods at a profit in the
markets of the far ekst, heretofore
controlled by English spinners, we
can safely count ou a sufficiently
large trade in that direction to
justify our iuvestmehts aud prom
ise a handsome profit to our stock
holders. More than one-half of
the cotton grown is consumed in
China, Japan and liidia.
The profits arising from cotton
factories in the South are the
amazement of the commercial
world. For when economically
managed, as I propbse to do in
this instance, these lhills pay from
15 to 40%. net, annually on their
capital stock. Need I say more ?
I call vour attention to the mills
now in operation ill Georgia to
satisfy the prospective investors
as to the accuracy of my state
ments, whioh I base ou conversa
tions recently had with mill Pres
idents. These men are personal
friends aud clients of mine, hence
I am satisfied as to the reliability
of my information. The security
for money invested in a ootton
mill is of the best, risk of loss at
a minimum, und thd profits great
or than any othor divestment for
largo or samll capital. To t.h<?
large investors the fbregoiug is ad
dressed. For the benefit of such
of our friends who desire to put a
few hundred dollars into the mill
1 quote an extract from the Grif
fin, Ga., “Call” of recent issue:
“Mrs. S. A. I’atfick, a widow
lady of this County; wus the pos
sessor of three shares of Griflin
MlgCo. left her by her husband
and recent, results showing its real
value gives an idea of what the
Griffin cotton mills are doißg.
“Some time ago it was decided
to enlarge the mill bn the capital
stock of the company, and Mrs.
Patrick was given five shares for
the three shares She previously
owned.
“Today she sold those five shales
of stock for the round sum of sl.-
150, or a gain of $8&0 and the an
ual dividends.”
Especially do I desire to encour
age the subscriptiohs of planters
in any sum they See fit to sub
scribe.
The benefits to the farmers re
sulting from the biiilding of a cot
ton factory at Lawrenceville are
many. I mention a few of the
ways in which they will be helped
and to help farmers of Georgia to
get good prices for their toil is a
subject worthy the earnest consid-

eration of all citizens. Today the
farmer sells his cotton to the New
England spinner* and then buys
back the cloth at 200% increased
price. He gets the smallest price
for his raw material and pays the
highest price for the manufact
ured article. That is the case
plainly and fairly. Not one cent
of all these advances remains in
his community nor is one of his
family or fellow citizens benefited
in the slightest by the manufact
uring of the cotton. For example,
take 1000 bales of cotton at 6c.
value SBO,OOO, which is sqld for
that sum to the New England or
English spinners and that amount
is all the people of Gwinnett re
ceives for their staple product.
Spun into cloth at Lawrenceville
that cotton is worth, say, 190 a
pound or $95,000. Under this con
dition the people of Gwinnett
would pocket $95,000 as against
the SBO,OOO they now receive, or a
gain of $65,000. This gain will
be spent by the home stockholders,
j the salaried men of the mill, and
especially the operatives, among
the farmers for the products of
farm, garden and dairy. Part,
however, going to the merchants
or re-invested in the county. All
in fact going into Gwinnett county
I ask that the reader will apply
these figures to the total produc
tion of cotton for Gwinnett coun
ty year by year and see what has
been lost by the absence of a cot
ton factory and what might be
guined by immediately building
one. More money in circulation
benefits every one, from the negro
with his saw-buck to the mer
chants in nil store and the farmer
in the field.
Farmers will find an increased
price paid at the mill for their
cotton.
Farmers, take this example.
You raise a coop of turkeys and
near Christmas you catch those
gobblers and hitch up the wagon.
That coop of turkeys is yours and
is not mortgaged or pledged as
cotton ofteu is. Going around
town you find that turkeys aie
scarce. You then fix your price
on the birds, and is not it true
that you get that price ? When
did you see any man you know
fix the price for cotton in just
that way ? Ask the oldest man
in Gwinnett county if he ever did.
The reason you can fix the price
on turkeys and not ou ootton is
because you have a home market
for turkeys, Now will you come
out and do your part to create a
home market for cotton ?
The merchants of Lawrenceville,
I ask then to consider the advant
ages resulting from the establish
ment of a cotton factory; such as
an increased population of opera
tives, who will spend their weekly
earning in the stores; the increased
price paid for cotton at the mill
will bring more farmers to Law
renceville; men who now take
their cotton elsewhere will come
to the town that has the mill*
the large number of operatives
will uecessarily purchase quanti
ties of produce from the farmers,
all of which will help year trade.
For $65,000 gain, previously re
ferred to, will pay those old ac
counts on your bocks, which are
the product of the inadequacy of
the SBO,OOO to pav the debt* of
the people who trade with you,
and the new bills will be met more
promptly with this gain in circu
lation.
I again ask that every reader
will figure out how much gain it
will be to Gwinnett people when
all the cotton raised on their fer
tile soil will be spun at Lawrence
ville—to put it down in black
and white a.id ask the next man
you meet what he thinks of it.
Look around and see how many
men will put in money, and de
cide how much you will subscribe,
and let us have a mill for the
Empire county of Georgia. Other
counties are offering to take up
the enterprise, and those in At
lanta who I have interested, and
who have placed into my hands
plans to uid your people in build
ing a mill, as well as to put down
their names for stock in liberal
amounts, will not wait long.
I shall be glad to meet all inter
ested ou the 7th of November aud
lay my plans before them. lam
satisfied there is uot a mail in
Gwinnett who will not find it to
his advantage to come out on that
day. I appeal to the citizens of
Gwinnett county to etanu forth
and do their part to raise Georgia
from a dependent agricultural
state, the price of whose most
staple product is fixed by ihe pur
chaser, to a great manufacturing
common wealth,commercially free,
independent and wealthy.
Since 1818, when your county
was laid out, she has led Georgia
in many ways, in war and iu
peace, and I feel certain she will
build a cotton factory now as a
profitable investment for her citi
zens and an encouragement to all
Georgia and the south.
