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, Rev. H. A. Hodges. Rev. A. H. Holland, ltev.J. Wood Pogue, L. M. Brand, Oscar Brown, W. E. Brown, C. H. Brand, J. A. Perry, 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. The Executive Committee is composed of the following well known business men: W. E. Simmons, C. H, Brand, M, E. Ewing, T. li Powell, M. S Cornett. 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 T. It. Powell 1,500 W. M. Sasser 1,000 C. H. Brand 1,000 W. G. MeNelley. . .... 500 T. A. Haslett 500 J.H. McGee 500 A. H. Holland 500 Rutledge & Clower ... 500 M. E. Ewing 500 M. L. Rookmore 500 W. E.

Many of the above sub scribers will more than doubl# the amounts pledged. Chairman Brand has appointed the following soliciting committee from the county at large: , Lawrenceville —Sam Craig. k Bay Creek—W. J. Tribble. ✓ Goodwins —Guy Hutchins. ✓ Duluth—Dr. E. G.

Martins—Craig Williams. K Berkshire—J. R. Cain. —C. B, Pool. —T. J. Cooper. 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 m stock. Mr. Patterson says he is for the mill, aud will take as 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. NOTICK.

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 about twenty-two or three years old Jinks-Hay.

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. Don’t fail to call aud examine T. L. Ambrose’s line of Ladies’ Hats, Ribbons, etc. KILLIAN HILL.
