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. W. G. McNellky. 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 will meet at Hartwell December 6. 7, and 8. 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. DISPENSARY IS RESPONSIBLE. 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.

Nov. 9 i 899 — 4t “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. Ordinary’s Notices. J.KTTEBB OF ADMINISTRATION.
