President McKinley shows a disloy

great strength in the last presidential
election.
An exchange says that a man who
has to support three wives and deal

The death of Lieutenant Brumby
ends the life of another one of the Ma

mourns his death, especially Georgia,
bis native state.
The members of the legislature, fa
voring the Willingham bill, are want
ing Hon. F. W. Copeland, of Walker,
as a candidate for sptaker of the next
House of Representatives.
The ablest speech made at the last
session of the legislature was made by
Senator McOehee in favor of the Wil
lingham bill. We intend to publish
his speech in full in January.
The American losses in the Spanish-
American war were, 980 killed, 1667
wounded, total 1837 men. The British
losses in less than two months are 666
killed, 2027 wounded, 1977 prisoners
and lost, total 4560 men.
Hon. W. C. Adamson, from the Fourth
congressional district, is making an
enviable reputation as a congressman.
No man from the Georgia delegation
stands higher than he, and we predict
for him higher honors in the future.
There isn’t a county paper outside
of the large cities where the profes
sional men do not advertise. We regret
very much to drop the professional
cards of some of our citizens, yet it is
a matter of business, and we make no
complaints.
The death of Gen. H. W. Lawton,who
was shot on last Tuesday while stand
ing in front of his men at San Mateo in
the Philipp’le islands, causes univer
sal grief in this country, as he was
making a brilliant record as a soldier
in the Orient.
The legislators have returned to their
homes, and it is hoped that some of
them will stay there. Of course, there
were many strong men connected with
the preaeut legislature who have bril
liant futures, but there was a gang
down there who made themselves con
spicuous by being against everything
that was right, and in favor of every
thing that was wrong.
The Boers have gained another great
victory. Gen. Butler was attempting
to lead the British across the Tuxgela
river, when he was attacked and de
feated. The Boers secured eleven of
the British guns. The prevailing idea
in many civilized countries that Africa
is the home of thriftless barbarous
races, is being displaced by the heroic
efforts of the Boers against one of the
strongest nations of the world.
Soon after General Kobert K. Lee
went to Lexington, Va., says the La
dies’ Home Journal, the presidency of
an insurance company was offered to
him at a salary of |IO,OOO a year. He
was at that time receiving only $3,000
as president of the Washington and
Lee university. “We do not want you
to discharge any duties, general,” said
the agent. “We simply wish the use
of your name. That will abundantly
compensate us.” “Excuse me, sir,”
was the prompt and decided rejoinder.
I cannot consent to receive pay for
services Ido not render.” Nearly ev
ery mail brought him similar propo
sals, and just a short while before his
death a large and wealthy corporation
in New York city offered him $60,000
per annum to become its president.
But he refused all such offers and
quietly pursued his chosen path ot
duty.
I*OG LAW IN GWINNKTT,
Now that the legislature has passed
the dog law, let the grand juries of the
various counties approve it, so that the
law may become operative. Wnenthis
is done, thousands of worthless dogs
will have to go, and their places will
be filled with hogs and poultry. It
takes just as much to feed a dog as a
hog, and the killing of dogs means the
saving of much money to the people of
Georgia. Of course only the “no
count” dogs will be disposed of. The
good ones will be kept, and the tax on
them will yield the state a handsome
income. The fate of the dog law in
Gwinnett depends upon the grand ju
ry for the next term of superior court.
If this jury should approve the act, it
will become a law, and could not be re
pealed except by special act of the leg
islature. The editors have no dogs,
and are not personally interested in
this matter, but as there are many cit
izens that will be deeply concerned in
the fate of the dog, we give the names
of the grand jury below in order that
all interested, either for or against the
dog, may have a chance to be heard in
time. Their names: J. P. Pharr, Bona
Allen, J. K. Cain, J. J. Wages, J. W.

THE GWINNETT COTTON MILLS.
There isn’t a cotton factory in Geor-1
gia that is paying less than some
as high as 40%. Therefore, a cotton
factory Would be a paying investment,
and every person possessed of any
stock would receive greater dividends
on his money than could be received
from any other investment.
If this be the only profit, the com
munity would be greatly benefltted.
But there are other advantages. A
$70,000 cotton mill would bring fifty
new families to Lawrenceville, thus
greatly increasing the trade of the
merchants.
The value of property would be con
siderably increased. For proof of this
fact, go to Monroe, Griffin, Harmony
Grove, Dalton, Newnan or any other
small town in the state where a cotton
tactory has been recently built.
The farmers would be helped, for
they could find a market for everything
raised on the farm. The factory could
afford to pay the highest price for cot
ton, as it would be cheaper to buy cot
ton here than to buy it somewhere else
and pay freight on it.
Each year there are many people
that leave this county for Texas and
other western states A cotton mill
would, to some extent, prevent this
afflux of our people, thus increasing
our population and enhancing the val
ue of our lands.
The narrow-guage railroad to Suwa
nee would be widened to a bruad-guage,
and Lawrenceville would have three
permanent railroads.
A SCATHINO ARRAIGNMENT.
Following is a part of the speech of
Congressman Lents, of Ohio, on the
Finance Bill. Mr. Lenta charged that
the pending bill had been prepared by
the 3,800 national banks, a secret com
bine that wielded more influence than
the Masonic fraternity, the Odd Fel
lows and the Red Men combined. The
bill was intended to increase the pow
er of the national bsnks. All the rest
that was in it was already in the law.
As he proceded Mr. Lentz’s remarks
became sensational.
“We are in favor of re-nominating
William Jennings Bryan,” said he,
“and we will put a plank against trusts,
we will put in a plank against imperi
alism, and we will put in a plank
against the British alliance, an affi
ance that is now open and apparent.
(Applause on the democratic side.)
They are shooting down liberty in
South Africa while you are shooting it
down in the Philippine Islands. (Ap
plause on the democratic side.) That
is evidence sufficient that both govern
ments are operating upon parallel
lines. The first blossoms of liberty in
the Orient to be cut off by the republi
can party of the United States; the
first substantia) struggle for liberty in
Africa to be mowed down in its infan
cy by the queen of England, with the
Czar asking for a peace conference.
“If the things are not inside out,how
can the republican party stand impo
tent and silent while England is shoot
ing to death a republic in South Afri
ca, under the military imperialistic
powers that had been delivered to the
president. Crimes are being commit
ted under the stars of the union.
“The president at Madison, Wis.,
said : ‘One small fraction of one small
tribe resists our authority in the Ori
ent.’ Ay, my friends, with an army
and a navy on the way of 76,000 men to
subdue one small fraction of one small
tribe, an army larger than Sherman
needed to march to the sea, an army
larger than Grant needed to take
Vicksburg, is now called into requisi
tion and kept there for nearly a year
to subdue one small fraction of one
small tribe.
“Is that the source of your prosperi
ty ? Is your Egan pension of $76,000
for being reduced, degraded and dis
honored, is your beef trust that mur
dered 4,800 men while the Spaniards
only killed 350, is that the source of
your prosperity ? (Applause on the
democratic side) Is your humiliation
and subordination of the man who won
the most magnificent naval victory
that the world has seen, Winfield Scott
Schley (applause on the democratic
side), is that the source of your pros
perity ? Is your subordination of
Brooke and Miles and Merritt, the
men who had been trained together
with their associates, at an expense of
millions of dollars to this country, and
the putting of plants in the army sad
dle, is that the cause of your prosperi
ty ? (Applause on the democratic
side.) You will live to be ashamed of
your record. ”
The rage for ending female names
with “ie” has at last come to a ridicu
lous conclusion. A Kent county far
mer living near Frederica, named Ake
christened his little daughter Belle.
She adopted the style of the Fannie,
the Matties, the Sadies, etc., and had
her calling cards printed“Bellie.” Now
the unsophistocated maiden appears to
a distracted world as “Miss Bellie
Ake.”—Banks County Journal.

Mr*. M. B. Garner, the first
resident of Buford, and the moth
er of the founder of the place, has
been very ill for some, but is now
mnch improved.
Mrs. L. N. Sudderth received a
telegram from Madison county
last week, calling her to the death
bed of her mother, Mrs. Joseph
Long. Mrs. Long was visiting
relatives in Buford several weeks
ago and while here fell and re
ceived an injury from which she
never recovered.
Rev. and Mrs. H. L. Embry
left, here yesterday for their new
home at Athens, where he goes to
serve the Oconee street Methodist
church. Mr. Embry was pastor
of this church for two years, and
during that time he and his esti
mable wife made many warm
friends, who heartily commend
them to the people to whom they
go.
Preaching at all the churches iu
town Sunday, it being the first
sermon preached by the new Meth
odist preacher, who gave his hear
ers a fine sermon Rev. Bachan
an, agent for the Christian Index,
occupied the Baptist pulpit, while
Rev. Payne preached at the Pres
byterian church in the afternoon.
While I did not hear them all, it
is safe to say they were all good
Bermons.
Notwithstanding thedraw hack
to the business of Buford by the
small pox breaking out in the
town last spring, and the Chatta
hoochee bridge washing away, the
one that Gwinnett ought to have
helped Forsyth county to build,
the outlook for her future is
brighter than at auy time in her
history. The town is expecting to
have in the near future a cotton
factory and electric lights. If
you should then hear of electric
cars on her streets you need not
be surprised.
Buford’s manufacturing interest
is on the increase. The three fac
tories report that they have orders
for all the goods they can make
till spring. Mr. C. L. Allen, who
for several years has been associa
ted with his father, Bona Allen,
has recently withdrawn, and is
now running a business of his own
in the furniture factory building
.which he purchased some time
ago, and turned it into a collar
factory. In addition to that, he
has leased the tannery and facto
ry of Capt. Espey, which he is
now operating. He is a young
man of great push and energy,
and will doubtless do an extensive
business. The old reliable R. H.
Allen is moving along in the even
tenor of his way, promptly filling
his numerous orders for goods.
The manufacturing business of
the town is not confined alone to
leather. The Pattillo Bros., an
energetic and plucky firm, have
established a factory for the man
ufacture of furniture, coffins and
burial cases of all kiuds. They
have two finished mechanics in
the persons of Messrs. Jett and
Teasdale.
The trading between Messrs.
T. C. Burton and J. E. Cloud has
resulted in Mr. Cloud becoming
again a citizen of Buford, occupy
ing the spacious mansion erected
and recently vacated by Mr. Bur
ton. Mr. Burton goes to the
“Sticks,” where Mr. Cloud for
merly resided. We hope the
change will be pleasant and prof
itable to both of them. Mr. Bur
ton was reared in the country,
and will no doubt enjoy his sylvan
retreat, where as he looks over his
broad acres he can feel that he is
monarch of all he surveys; where
he can
“See the grass and flowers and trees,
And hear the cackle of chickens and
hum of bees;
The low of cattle and song of biids,
And health and quiet and loving words.’
Theu when the evening shades ap
pear and “all the earth a solemn
stillness holds,” may hi lay down
to peaceful slumbers, such as only
the country can give, and as he
“Closes his eyes on his rustic rooms
Dream of meadows and clover blooms,”
May he be spared long to realize
the joys of an ideal country life.
And may Mr. Cloud, who has
taken Mr. Burton’s place in the
fork of two branches, feel like ho
is in town; not like Bill Arp ex
pressed it after the war when he
lived at Rome—that he was out
of the Uuiou, as he lived in the
fork of two “Injun" rivers He
can enjoy both country and town
life. Ou one side he can look out
on the picturesque landscape, aud
ou the other the crowded cite,
“white from its hill slopes looking
down,"

QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has (he
largest sale of auy medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using anything else for Indiges
tion or Billiousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldsm heard of
Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headache* *ud other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is noth
ing serious the matter with yon.

Judge Spear on Whisky Drinking.
Judge Emory Speer, in sen
tencing a number of illicit distil
lers a few days since in Macon,
took occasion to deliver a master
ful discourse on intemperance,
and during his remarks, among
other things, said:
■‘Lord Chief Justice Coleridge,
a great English judge, who has
lived in our town, said, ‘druukeness
was a vice which filled the jails of
England, and that if we could
make England sober we could do
away with nine-tenths of the
crimes.’ A great judge in this
country who had large opportuni
ties for observation, Judge Noah
Davis, said: ‘Among all the
causes of crime, intemperance
stands out the unapproachable
chief. ’ The supreme court of the
United States, a tribunal which
occupies the loftiest judicial posi
tion of any on earth, has said:
‘We cannot smut out of view the
fact within the knowledge of all
that the public health, the public
morals and the public safety may
be endangered by the general use
of intoxicating drinks, nor the
fact established by statistics ac
cessible to every one that the dis
order, pauperism and crime prev
alent in the country are in some
degree at least traceable to this
evil.’ And in another case that
court said with the regard to the
effect of intoxicants upon the in
dividual: ‘The injury, it is true,
falls upon him in his health,which
the habit undermines, in his mor
als, which it weakens, in his self
abasement, which it creates.’ The
teachers of religion have been as
plain spoken on this subject as
ths philosophers and the courts.
So great a Catholic prelate as Car
dinal manning declared that it
was a national sin, a national
shame, and if not soon arrested
will be a national ruin.’ And so
great a Protestant divine as Arch
deacon Farrar has declared that it
‘stands in the very front of the
responsibility for the alarming
amount of lunacy, of pauperism
and of crime.’
She—Did you ever find a four
leaf clover ?
He—Yes, once; and that very
day my landlady asked me if I
couldn’t pay up my back board.
Mrs. Neighbors—What a ter
rible cough you have ! Why don’t
you consult your family physi
cian ?
Mrs. Winters—lmpossible. He’s

State is too Poor Tit.
The proposed new depot in At
lunta has worried a great many
people a great derl during the 1 last
few months, and many of those
who have never visited tho Gato
City have had their “say” as to
just what ought to be done. The
State road owns the largest sharo
of the present “carshed” and Gov
ernor Candler thinks that the
State ought to build a new depot
in its place. He is quoted by the
Atlanta Journal as saving’:
“I think the State should build
the depat, ” contined the Governor.
“It is a reflection on the dignity
of Georgia to say that she has to
call on someone else to build it for
her. The State is not a pauper.”
If we remember correctly the
appropriation for the schools of
Georgia had to be cut down not
very long ago, under recommenda
tions from Governor Caudler be
cause there was danger of bank
ruptcy to the state. In his speech
es before his election, in his mes
sage to the legislature and at all
other times he has professed to
believe that' the state treasury
was in danger of a collapse f re
fouis wero not instituted in the
expenditure of money.
If conditions were as bad as
they were pictured when the knife
was put to the school appropria
tion, it is certainly too soon to
talk of building a depot at the
state’s- expense. Wait until we
catch up with the teacher’s sala
ries, at least.
The state is not a pauper, but
it is much too poor to take on
such a load at this time.

two-horse farm, to parties who will

It is certainly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern in
the land who are not afraid to be
generous to the needy and suffer
ing. The proprietors of Dr. King’s

away over ten million trial bottles

the satisfaction of knowing it has
absolutely cured thousands of
hopeless cases. Asthma, Bron
chitis, Hoarseness and all diseases
ofc Throat, Chest and Lungs are
surely cured by it. Call on A. M
Winn & Son’s Druggist, and get a
free trial bottle. Regular size 50c.
