VALEDICTORY.
With this issue of the News-
Herald my connection with it is
severed. I have transferred my
interest in the lease, good will,
etc., to Messrs. J. A. Perry and
J.A. Bagwell, who are well known
to most of our readers, and who
are amply equipped to conduct
the business and to bring tc the
paper an increased volume of pat
ronage.
In taking leave of the readers of
the News-Herald, and its patrons,
I desire to express my sincere
thanks for the many courtesies
and the splendid patronage the
good people of Gwinnett couuty
have bestowed upon me as its
editor and manager It is a
source of pardonable pride that I
can point to the large subscription
list the paper now enjoy 3, and say
that it has been built up from
less than 700 within 3 years to
about double that number now.
The geutlemen who succeed me
can, and doubtless will, further
increase the circulation and ex
tend the influence and usefulness
of the paper, by their diligence
and energy, for both are young
men of splendid character with
large family connections through
out the couuty. In this particu
lar they have a great advantage,
for when I assumed control in
November 1896 I was a total strau- j
ger to the people, and had the!
battle to fight for supremacy under 1
many adverse circumstances.
How well I have succeeded, the
people must judge for themselves.
During my editorial career in
GwiDnett I have at all times
sought out the path of duty and
tried to follow it in an honest,
straight-forward manner, without
fear or favor; and in doing so
doubtless have made mistakes
and incurred the ill-will of some,
but these mistakes could not be
avoided from my standpoint of
reasoning and came from both
head and heart. ‘‘To err is hu
man, to forgive divine.” I hold
in my heart no malice to any one
in the world, aod retire from the
tripod of the News-Herald with a
consciousness of having at all
times sought to do my duty. The
influence of the paper has been
cast on the side of kight for the
sake of right, as I saw it, and I
trust the seed thus sown has
fallen into good ground and nmy
in the good year of 1900 bring
forth abundantly—in one particu
lar at least, and that is, that the
politics of the couuty may in a
measure be cleansed of corrupting
influences by eliminating the ve
nal and purchasable vote from
democratic primaries. Unless
sentiment changes on this subject
I am quite sure that this will be
done.
Though removing my citizen
ship and residence from the good
old county of Gwinnett, I am not
to be a stranger to you, but a
near-by neighbor. I have accept
ed a position at Monroe, Walton
county, to be the managing editor
of the new paper which is to make
its appearance there about Janu
ary Ist.
When the people of Gwinnett
visit the wide-awake and enter
prising little city of Monroe, they
will find the latch-strmg of my
sanctum hanging on the outside,
and a hand within to grasp them
• warm welcome.
To the correspondents of the
New s-Herald who have been such
valuable co-workers with me in
building up the paper to its pres
ent excellent proportions, I shail
always cherish an endearing re
gard and friendship. I shall carry
their names with me to my new
home, and keep them in remem- !
berituce by sending them an occa
sional copy of the new paper. It
is my purpose to Drganiz« just
such a faithful and splendid
corps of correspondents for my
Walton couuty paper as I have
had in Gwiunett, and with that
accomplished, its success is doubly
assured.
Tbs new paper at Monroe is
backed by a very strong and in
fluential stock company, and their
offer to me was of such a flatter
ing character that I accepted it
after mature consideration. The
field is larger there, and the grow
ing city of Monroe offers a pleas
ant,and, I trust, a permanent and
profitable borne for myself and
family, where it shall be my am
bition to build up one of the best
county papers in the Empire State
of the South,
Under the terms of the contract
with Messrs. Bagwell dr Perry they
are to fulfill all nuexpired sub
scriptions and to collect all dues
on subscription accounts. I re
serve all advertising accounts
above SIOO, but parties owing same
can make payment to the new
firm after roy removal to Monroe.

THE WILUSeUAH MIUL.
The Willingham bill, with slight
amendments, passed the Houee on
Wednesday by a vote of 93 to 65.
It now goes to the Senate, and the
friends of the measure feel confi
dent of its passage through that
body.
The bill prohibits the sale or
manufacture of whisky or other
intoxicating liquors in the state,
the same to go into effect June Ist,
1900.
Representative Pate atood for the
bill and voted for it, as he doubt
less felt that the overwhelming
sentiment of his couuty would
sustain him in his position
Gwinuett is a strong prohibition
county, and Mr. Pate did exactly
right in casting his vote and using
his influence for the Willingham j
measure, and The News-Herald!
commends him for carrying out j
the will of his constituents.
Representative Hutchins voted !
against the bill.
The annual Horse Swapping
| Convention of Northeast Georgia

A Marietta fanner is exhibiting
turnips, one dozen of which weigh
100 pounds. Twenty-two dozen of
them weigh 1,354 pounds.
Vice-President Hobart died at
his home iu New Jersey Tuesday.
He was a great man, and the na
tion mourns his death.
E. P. Cotter, while yelping fer
a turkey out ou the river near Mc-
Rae last week, was himself shot
for one by a Mr. Hulett, several
balls striking him. His wounds
are not dangerous.
Saturdayjuight at Culverton, a
small place about five miles east
of Sparta, Mr. Gordon Moore, a
planter and highly respected citi
zen of that place, was shot and
possibly seriously, by Willie Bur
ton, a uegro, who had previously
been caught scaling cotton seed
from Mr. Moore. The negro is in
jail awaiting trial.
Supt. G. G. Bond, of the Ath
ens city schools, has been re-ap
pointed as one of the trustees of
the State Normal School for the
term of six years. His commis
sion properly signed by Gov. Can
dler, has been sent to him. The
reappointment of Supt. Bond to
succeed himself is heartily ap
proved, not only in Athens, but
also throughout the state.
Rome’s cotton receipts to date
are 20,500 bales, 1,000 less than
for any year within the past five.
Last week’s receipts were only
2,447, from 1,000 to 8,000 under
any corresponding week for five
years. Killing frosts and freezes
in that section lately have been
damaging to the top crop—half
grown bolls killed and expecta
tions from this source necessarily
cut short. This will result in
stained cotton in last packings.
It is estimated that the mills in
operation and in course of con
struction will absorb the entire
cotton crop of 225,(XX) bales iu
the North Georgia eouutry.

Bloody Riot in Sellers, S. C. drew Out
of it.
Columbia, S.C., Nov. 15.—As a
result of the recent factional dif
| ferences iu the State Board of Li
quor Control thorn was last night,
a bloody shooting affray at Sellers
a railroad statiou in Marion coun
ty, near the home of J. Dudley
Haselden, ex-chairman and now a
member of the state board.
There was a general fusillade,
I pistols, a Winchester and a shot
gun being brought into play.
As a result Ben Sellers is per
haps mortally wounded in the ab
domen, and his father, John C.
Sellers, is seriously hurt with a
Winchester ball in his shoulder.
J. D. Haseklen has a ball in his
leg, his brother, Luther M. Hasel
den, late adjutant South Carolina
Volunteers, is slightly woundel in
the side, and their brother-in-law,
Dr. H. A. Edwards, formerly state
inspector of dispensaries, is sprin
kled with bird shot. J. A. Evans,
a former wholesale liquor sales
man, and cousin of Haselden, was
unhurt.
Yesterday morning Haselden ac
cused Ben Sellers of being the au
thor of a letter charging Haselton
with official and personal impro
priety in receiving whisky in quan
tity from wholesale houses and in
using it in a questionable manner.
This letter had been published in
connection with other bitter arti
cles in the recent disf ensary wran
gle. There were hot words, but
no fight yesterday.
Last night Haselden and bis
three friends were driving through
Sellers station, when they met
Ben Sellers. Information is mea
ger, and it is not known who pre
cipitated the difficulty. Ben Sel
lers was shot and bis father ran to
hie rescue. The oth-r three par
ties were with Hai-iden in buggi-.s.
As yet no fatalities have result
ed. Haselden was unable to at
tend a meeting of the state board
today, called for th# purpose of
giving a hearing to Commissioner
Douthit. discharged without a
hearing by the Haselden faction
of the board. The courts ordered
him to have a hearing by the
board.
The discharge of Duuhit and his
!clerk, D. A. G. Ousts, the result
of bitter feeling in the board, led
! to long and scandalous controver
j sies in the press between Ouzts and
Hazelden, which indirectly caused
the bloody affair yesterday-
The people of South Carolina
'art greatly perplexed over the dis
: pensary problem.
The wounded are doing as well
j as could be expected this evening.
Signed statements were gotton to-
May from several of the partici
pants.
The Willingham bill is on the
right line, and this “or something j
better” ought to be enacted into
law But with the alluring pit-,
falls of the Capitol city and the'
strong lobby arrayed against it,
we have little hope that it will
ever get through the Senate.

“The whereabouts of Aguinaldo
and hia array and cabinet is a
perfect enigma,” says a cable dis
patch from Manila. “The Fili
pinos are cowards,” says General
Wheaton; “they will not stand up
and fight.” If the Filipinos
would stand up and fight, the
American troops would make short
work of them. But by running
and dodging, and crawling up un
awares and shooting into our out
posts, they are giving us ten times
the annoyance that it would be
possible for them to give if they
stood their ground. Thus it ap
pears that there is shrewd method
in Aguinaido’s plan of campaign.
The Spaniards used to find the
same fault with the Filipinos and
the Cubans that Gen. Wheaton
is now finding with the former—
that they would not stand up and
tight.—Savannah News.
