He makes a specialty of practice before the Board of Education, and the State Commissioner of Education. He will not accept cases in the City or Superior courts but might be induced to take a fee in the Supreme court. It is wonderful how quick we call for a doctor when we get sick, how quick we torget him when well; how bad we need a lawyer when in trouble, how we despise him when out; how we love our county paper when a “puff ’ is wanted, and how sorry the paper when called on to pay for it.

Representative Pate has intro duced a bill to prohibit the manu facture and sale of spirituous and malt liquors in Gwinnett county, in pursuance of a recommenda tion adopted by the last grand jury. Domestic wine is excepted. The bill will probably pass. Our fall line of dress goods are simply exquisite, and as we have a large stock to select from, the most fastidious can be suited. We guarantee both goods and prices. The Evans-Cooper Co. Zandy Cruse brought us in half a dozen stalks of his Mammoth Big 801 l Cotton last Saturday which certainly shows this cotton to be of very prolific and fine quality, the lint being longer than the oroinary kind. Mr. Cruse raised two bales to the acre of this cotton this year. Who can beat it ? Col. R. L. Shell of Snellville was in the city Wednesday on bus iness. He placed his resignation as Snellville correspondent in our hands, to take effect January Ist. and the same has been accepted. A successor has been secured and the News-Herald will still be rep resented at the pretty and enter prising little village of Snellville. Jack Brogdon has bought a Mc- Cormick reaper and binder, and will be prepared to cut wheat and oats for his customers next sea son and tie them as he goes with the McOormick twine binder. He already has engagements to cut 50 acres of wheat, and those having smooth land should see Mr. Brog don at once and engage him to do their cutting. Biggest line of Jeans ever of fered in Lawrenceville at Tom Ambrose’s. 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.

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 retta Free Press. Rejected Claims.

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.

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- JOHN B. BROGDON’S ADVERTISEMENT.

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. Cuyler Smith. The Globe Warehouse will lend you money on your cotton at 0 per cent. Cotton will go to 8c by January 1, at least that is the opin ion of those well post ed on the crop. If you need money, store your cotton and wait for higher prices. If you are behind ou your paper, come to see us next Tuesday if you are in town —and pay up.
