THE GWINNETT COTTON MILLS.
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING ORGANIZES EOR INDUSTRIAL
PROGRESS.
Outlook Favorable For 5,000 Spindle Mill For
Lawrenceville.
'TH'ESDAY, in accordance with a
“ call published in the News-
Herald last week, a number of
Gwinnett’s progressive citizens
met at the court house for the
purpose of putting on foot an or
ganized effort to establish a cotton
mill in Lawrenceville.
The meeting was addressed by
Mr. Cuyler Smith of Atlanta,
who briefly outlined the plun of
organization and gaye much en
couraging information concerning
the cotton milling industry of
Georgia and the South, showing
that large dividends were being
earned by every mill in the coun
try, and would continue to be
earned when properly managed.
He referred to the Jackson mill at
Jackson, Ga , as a model. This
mill is a 5000-spindle capacity,
and is capitalized at $70,000. It
earned 54 per cent, on the capital
stock last year, and is the banner
dividend-earner of the south, hav
ing eclipsed every other mill in
the country. He also referred to
the mill at Monroe, which is earn
ing a dividend of something like
25 per cent., and is doubling its
capacity from its surplus. The
Crown mill at Dalton paid 42 per
cent, last year, and this year a
dividend of 10 per cent, in cash
aud 82 per cent, in stock was de
clared. The original cost of this
mill was $100,000; now it has an
appraised value of $480,000, the
increase beiug_due to enlarge
ments and improvements made
from its surplus earnings.
At the conclusion of Mr. Smith’s
address, he was made temporary
chairman of the meeting, with
L, M. Brand as temporary secre
tary.
Afterwards a permanent organi
zation was effected, with L. M.
Brand as chairman and W. G.
MeNelley secretary.
The unanimous sentiment of
those present was that a cotton
mill should be built at Lawrence
ville, and with that object in view,
on motion of W. G. MeNelley, so
liciting committees were appoint
ed to solicit for the capital stock
of the contemplated enterprise.
The following central committee
was appointed:
W. E. Simmons, Chairman.
A. T. Patterson, •
W. G. MeNelley,
W. M. Sasser,
J. H McGee,
M. E Ewing, •
J. D Rutledge,
T. R. Powell,

L. M. Brand,
Oscar Brown,
W. E. Brown,
C. H. Brand,

T. M. Peeples,
M. S. Cornett.
Subscription blanks will be
placed iu the hands of these geu
tlemeu at qnce, and each and every
one of them are urged to get all
the stock subscribed they can, as
quickly as possible, and report
same to the Executive Committee.
Another enthusiastic meeting
was held at the Ewing Hotel Tues
day evening at 8 o’clock, when a
subscription plan was agreed upon,
and adopted, the name of the mill
selected “The Gwinnett Cotton
Mills,” its capital stock—s7o,ooo —
upon, with privilege
to increase same to $200,000, aud
an Executive Committee elected.

composed of the following well
known business men:

C. H, Brand,

By resolution, this committee
was directed to apply for a char
ter for said mill, by publication,
under the laws of Georgia, and
the same will be done at an early
date.
The soliciting committees are
to work under the direction of the
Executive committee, the Execu
tive committee to also act as a
general soliciting committee to
ask for stock subscriptions from
all sources and to open up corres
pondence with machinery manu
facturers and dealers with the ob
ject iu view to get them to put iu
machinery as stock iu said mill,
to the amount of half or more of
the value of said machinery.
1 is thought that this end can
be accomplished by Maj. Simmons,
who has very strong financial con
nections with Eastern capitalists.
The following amounts have al
ready been pledged to the capital
stock of the mill:
VV. E. Simmouß, $2,000

Subscription blanks will be
placed in the hands of every com
mitteeman as soon as they can be
printed, and it is earnestly urged
that they go activelv to work and
get what stock can be secured in
their respective lieighboohoods at
once, for what is done at all should
be done quickly. This, is simply
a business proposition, and the
printed plan shows exactly-what
is required It is a simple prop
osition, asking investment in an
enterprise that is sure to pay largb
dividends, and at the same time
develop the latent resources of the
county. No loug-wiuded argu
ment is necessary to convince any
intelligent citizen that the invest
ment is a good one. He helps the
county and himself at the same
time by taking stock in the mill.
Every public-spirited citizen
should take stock, from one to
fifty shares, and it is essential
that every ene do their part, for
the enterprise cannot be made a
success unless $70,000 is sub
scribed. The people of Gwinnett
county .are expected to take at
least $50,000 of this stock, as that
will make it a home enterprise,
—owned, controlled aud managed
by home people.
Let everybody pull fbr the mill,
and by the Ist day of January
every cent of the capital stock
will have been subscribed, a per
manent organization effected, of
ficers elected, a mill site selected,
and everything in readiness to
break dirt for the factory in the
early spring. The mill cau he
built, equipped and the spindles
go to weaving the cotton crop of
1900 into cloth in the early fall of j
next year.
MILL NOTES.
There are three excellent mill
sites already tendered the compa
ny-, the owners of the ground agree
ing to take the value thereof in
mill stock.
A charter for the mill will soon
be applied for.
The Gwinnett Cotton Mills
means 200 operatives and an in
crease in Lawrenceville’s popula
tion of at least 600.
J. J. McDaniel has offered a site
for the new mill near the S. A. L,
depot.
Dr. Mitchell agrees to sell the
mill company 40 acres of land for
a site and take all the pay in mill
stock.
W. L. Vaugan offers the old fac
tory site to the new company and
take pay therefor in mill stock.
Col. Tyler M. Peeples has 40
acres of fine land suitable for a
mill site on the S. A. L. which he
will probably tender the company
and take pay therefor in factory
stock.
M. E. Ewing has a fine factory
site on the L. & L. tha may be
come available for the new mill.
A. T. Patterson has a fine site
for the i.ew mill, and may 'offer
same to the company and take pay

much stock in it as anyone.
All subscriptions to the capital
stock will be published in The
i News-Herald, so the world may see
I who the public-spirited citizens
I are that are pushing along the ball
i of progress and development.
The cotton mill is a certainty if
our people will but unite aud all
pull together. Oua mill means
other manufacturing enterprises,
and the building of Lawrenceville
into a splendid little manufactur
ing city.
The health of Lawrenceville is
unsurpassed bv any town in the
state, which of itself is a big in
ducement for factories to locate
here.
The News-Herald devotes much
of its space this week to the cot
j ton mill, feeling that it is of the
i utmost importance to the future
| growth and prosperity of our
town and county, and for" that
reason we feel assured that our
readers will not object.
Read the stock plan in another
column, and be sure to take all
the shares you are able to take.
It will be money in your pocket.
“History repeats itself.” Fifty
years ago Lawrenceville had a big
cotton factory. She is now going
to have a bigger one.
“Gwinuett Cotton Mills” sounds
solid and substantial. It is a
“sure winner” aud is bound to pay
good dividends.
Maj. Simmous, T. R. Powell,
Charley Brand, M. E. Ewing and
Mack Cornett at the helm—all
solid, substantial business men—
means that the “Gwinnett Cotton
Mills” are going to be built, and
what is more the investment will
pay big divipends to the share
holders. If you fail to take stock
in the enterprise, In a few years,
when it is worth $2 for sl, you
will regret it.
Those who have idle capital to
iuvest could uot find a safer place
for it than in “The Gwinnett Cot
ton Mills.”
The mill means more business,
more money in circulation, a cush
market for farm produce and high
er prices for cotton. Every far
mer in the county ought to take
some stock.
Cotton mill stock is as safe as
government bonds, and pays bet
ter. The south is the natural
home of the cotton mill, and south
ward the mills of the world must
finally concentrate. The new mills
with modern machinery are the
ones will pay the best dividends,
and such a mill as this is tho pro
posed Gwinuett cotton mill.

A Tragic Death.
Will Gower, aged 22, sou of Mr.
Bibb Gower, met a tragic death
Tuesday afternoon.
He had been in Lawrenceville
during the day aud had imbibed
freely of blind tiger liquor, and
when he started home about 4
o'clock ou liis horse was in a hil
orioiis mood.
Riding at a brisk pace, his horse
shied just as ho crossed the brook
near the Arnold house. This
threw Gower heavily to the ground
his head strikiug a rock, inflicting
fatal injuries. He lingered iu an
unconscious condition for two or
three hours when death relieved
him of his earthly pain.
Gower was a young man of vig
orous physique and up to the time
of the fatal accident was in the
best of health. Had his brain not
been beclouded with liquor ho
would no doubt be alive aud well
today. His tragic death should
prove a warning to young men to
let whisky alone.
The man who sold young Gower
the liquor that led to his death
may never be punished for the
offense of selling liquor illegally,
but in tbe eyes of justice he is the
young man’s murderer.
Rufua Cates Dead.
We learn that on Wednesday
Rufus Cates, son of George W.
Cates, of this county, died at the
home of his fat her near Trip, after
a lingering illness. The immedi
ate cause of his death was some
stomach trouble, while he was
also a sufferer with consumption
and other complicated diseases.
Young Cates was noted for the
brilliancy of his intellect and
equinimity of temper.
We are always sorry to note the
death of such young men. We
deeply sympathize with the be
reaved parents, whose loss no
doubt seems to them irreparable.
Ho had never married, and was

Marshal Brown raided a negro
dance Saturday night, aud had
quite a thrilling experience with
the dusky dancers. Just as the
festivities were getting under good
headway, Marshal Brown appear
ed upon the scene; the lights were
put out and pots, frying pans and
cord wood filled the air, while one
of the merry-makers pulled his
gun, fired at the officer and dis
appeared in the darkness. His
shot went wild, however, and five
of his companions were landed iu
the lockup. Marshal Brown then
returned and succeeded iu arrest
ing the man who was so careless
with his fire arms. This negro
was Ludlow Cunningham, of near
Logauville, and when a search
was made two pistols were found

The mail service of “Uuole Sam”
is so perfectly systematized that
it is almost impossible to lose
anything in transmission. Re
cently u silver quarter dropped
from an envelope addressed to the
News-Herald. The route agent
turned the money over to the Su
perintendent of the Railway Mail
Service, who in turn delivered it
to the Postmaster at Atlanta.
The letter came to us minus the
quarter, but with the endorsement
written on it that the money had
dropped out and had been turned
over to Supt. Terrell. Postmaster
Cole reported the matter to divis
ion headquarters, and on Wednes
nesday the money was delivered
to us, safe and Bound, by Mr. Cole.
It went through the process of a
red-tape system, and was more
than a quarter’s worth of trouble
to the government, but at last the
editor got his money. It was a
remittance of 26c in silver from

Luxomni, Ga,, Nov. 6, 1899.
Editor News-Herald : —ln my
letter published in last week’s is
sue of your paper there are, I think
some typographical errors which
vary tlie real meaning and senti
ment of my letter a little from
what I intended. They occur in
tiie following:
Ist. “It clearly shows that his
plans had been frustrated, and that
lie was really nmd about it ; so mad
that he made no excuse to conceal
his madness.” This should have
been “so mad that he made no
attempt to conceal his madness.”
2. “Of course, they are now in
violation of tho law,” etc. This
sliould have been “Of course, they
are in violation of the lav.” -
3. “Notiiing to justify it except
to please the whims o' the gentle
man who holds Athens and that
leading church member,’ who is a
bar-tonder, in sucli wonderful ad
miration.” This should have been
wondering admiration.
I fool sure that they were simply
mistakes, and that no injustice
wus intended me, therefore, I ad
dress you in this manner, aud
kindly ask you to correct them,
editorially. This will do us both
justice.
Yours truly,
S. E. McDaniel.
