The New^Herald. Entered tt the LewrehcevtUe poetolfice m •eeoad-elMe matter. PUBLISHBD EVERY THURSDAY Official Organ Gwinnett Connty. Lavraicerille Publishing Co., Proprietors. J AMES A. BioWKLL, Editor J. A. FERRY, Associate Editor. From this issue, the News-Her aid zrill be published on Thursday morning in each week, and it will be necessary for everything for publication to r?ach tbi> office not later than Tuesday night. As a matter of business, we have decided to cut off all our agents to the News-Herald. Every coun ty paper that we get in exchange,* so far as we have examiued. costs dollar a year, and we can’t af ford to give subscriptions to any one tor lees than seventy-five cents. Samuel J. Winn is making an excellent record as Judge of the City Court. The rapidity with which he decides all legal ques tions, the accuracy of his decisions as well as bis high sense of dnty to meet ont justice to all, has won for him the universal praise of the people of the couuty. We have been publishing a good many interesting letters from Texas. Not with a view, howev er, of offering inducements for onr people to move out there. But there are but few families id Gwinnett connty that dc not have relatives in Texas, and for this reason alone these letters are high ly interesting to our readers. Among the most contempt able and deepisable of men is the ‘■sneak,” who never comes out into the open to oppose you, but like a midnight assassin is ever ready to stab you iu the dark. An enemy deserves respect so long as he is open in bis opposi tion, bnt when any man stoops so low as to wrongfully abuse his fellowman in the secret, he onght to receive the hatred of every man with whom he comes in contact. God deliver ns from secret ene miee. The Cotton States Association of Commissioners of Agriculture at its recent session in New Or leans petitioned the governors and legislatures in every cotton state to pass laws requiring that full reports of the number of acree planted in cotton, its condition daring its growth, estimates of the yield, number of bales raised, be made at stated times to the Commissioner of Agriculture. This is a move in the right direc tion, and sDould the cotton states enact these laws as petitioned by the Cotton States Association, the cotton speculators would have no opportunity to practice deception about the size of the crop, and the farmers could always know with some certainty at least wheth er it would pay to hold their cot ton. In anothbr column appears a financial report of the disburse ments of the public money of Gwinnett oouDty for 1899, as gathered from the vouchers in the hands of County Treasurer, Mr. C. D. Jacobs. Such a report has never been published in the News- Herald before, vet we think that the people have a right to know and ought to know how and where their moDey is spent, and we have gotten up this report for this ob ject aloDe. It is not our purpose to show that any money has been improperly spent, nor to make any criticisime at all, bat we kuow that tax payers in the coun ty are interested in knowing how the money is disposed of and to this end the report appears. The rea son that the expenditures exceed the receipts is that some of the money collected last fall has been used. Also part of the Clerk’s and all Mr. Hadaway’s fees were for 1898. To Mr. Jacobs, for his kind assistance in this work, we extend, in our own behalf aDd in behalf of the people of Gwinnett county, thanks, AN OLD DOCTOR’S FAVORITE *V RSMKDY FOB UIcJRS, SORKS, CATARRH, ' , abd Blood Poison.

I had doctored with good doctors and taken a great many patent medicines. My trouble began when my first child was born. I had a very bard time and after its birth would hare severe flooding spells. “ After my second child I had very good health until last winter when I again became pregnant and suffered very much and miscarried. I came very near dying, and the doctor said I must have an operation, which fright ened me very much, and concluded to write to you for your advioe, and take your medicine. Was troubled with the whites, great pain in back and hips, sometimes when lying down or sitting was unable to get up. Would have such pain in groins could hardly walk. " I can say I have never seen any thing so wonderful as Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound and Sana tive Wash. Your remedies have done wonders for me. Hoping that many of my suffering sitters may be led to take your medicine from reading this latter. I remain, sincerely yours, Mas. Mart Hates, Hariuasbiro. Kt."

Bailiff Rutledge is the proud father of a bright little baby girl, Louis McDonald, of Alabama, has moved here. QUESTION ANSWERED Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers aud 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, aud that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches aud 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 you. Sample bottles at Bagwell Drug Store. Lawrenceville, R. O.

He was struck on the head with a rock about 8 years ago, injuring his skull, from which time be gradually grew worse until the physicians thought 1a trephine operation advisable in order to save his life. He now seems to bo entirely well. There was a very pleasant dance given at the residence of Mrs. John Mabaffey Friday evening, which was a grand success.

At the beginning of the Christian era did it not take the first second to start the first min ute, the first minute to start the first hour, the first hour to start the first day, the first day to start the first week,the first week to start the first month, the first month to start the first year ? And then when eleven more of these months had passed the first y«ar wss com pleted, and at the very next tick of the clock we were living iu the first second of the second year, although we were only one year and ene sec ond old. This first year was the be ginning of the first century, which took one hundred years to com plete, After the first century had expired then we were living in the first hour of the second century, yet we were only one century and one hour old. So it is 19 centuries have passed, and we are living in January, or the first month, of the 20th century, although we are only 1900 years and a few weeks old. MIDWAY.

Second, the bread that feeds them would feed very near as many hogs, and the time lost with them would per haps he better employed. Third, the tax paid on them would, as Mr. Glenn says, come back for ed ucating children, which is worth more than dogs J. A. Smith an wife visited his mother near Trip Sunday.
