The News-Herald. Entered At Lawrenceville po*tofflco an second-clas* matter. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY Official Organ Gwinnett Conntj. LawrenceTlllo PnV.isbing Co., Proprietors. JAMES A. BAO WELL. Editor. J. A. PERKY, AMOciste Editor. South Carolina leads the south as a manufacturing state. On a prohibition vote last week, Banks county went dry by 369 majori ty. Representative Hepburn, of lowa, has introduced a bill in the House to appropriate $140,000,000 for the con struction of the Nicaragua canal. Christmas is here again. If you wish to have a happy one, give your friend a Christmas present. Remember that it is more blessed to give than to receive. _ President McKinley shows a disloy alty to his friends when lie denounces trusts, for that was the source of his great strength in the last presidential election. An exchange says that a man who has to support three wives and deal with three mothers-in-law ought to be allowed a seat in congress or anywhere . else that be desires. The death of Lieutenant Brumby ends the life of another one of the Ma nila Bay heroes. The whole country 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. Andrews, E.L. Anderson, J. G. Power, J. T. Baxter, D. F. Veruer, G. W. Hop kins, G. IV. Jacobs, J.E. McElroy, A. H. Spence, J. J. Boss, Wm. C. Cofer, R. M. .Smith, J. W. Hamilton, R. B. Whit worth, J. M. Pool, W. T. Nash, J. H. Parks, .fas. «awyer, Nathaniel T»ague, W. M. Hunnicutt, J. F. Wilson, W. M. Jordan, D. H. McDaniel, J. C. Harris, j, L. Wisdom, G. 8. Kelly. 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.

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," Tickets on sale for the Christmas holidays by the Seaboard Air Line December 33nd. 33rd, 34th, 351 h, also December 30th and 31st, 1899, and Jan.

It being the last appointment for the old year, the church paid off its entire in debtedness, leaving a small bal ance in the treasury to meet now obligations the coming year. The preacher went home happy, with a fine turkey gobbler under his arm, the gift of Mrs. C. L. Hutch ins, which was highly appreciated.

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.

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 off for his health. \Jse Dr. Miles’ Nerve Plasters for SPINAL WEAKN ESS. All druggists sell ’em for 25c.

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.
