J. A. PERRY, Associate Editor. Another shameful defeat for the proud British. Will the tide of battle never change, or is it possi ble that the Boers will gain their liberty ? Henry A. Hazeu, oue of the chief weather forecasters of the United States weather bureau, died in New York last week from an injury received in a bicycle collision. Georgia takes the cake in lynch mgs for '99. Last year Georgia lynchings were 28; Mississippi 14; Louisiana 18; Arkansas 11; Texas 8; Alabama 6; Florida 6; Ten nessee, 4.—Exchange. I. H. Lofton, the negro post master at Hogausville, has gone to Washington presumably to ac cept a position in one of the de partments. Since Lofton has been postmaster at Hogausville the office has been burned and the postmaster has received a shot in his arm. The office has been boy cotted by the whites since the ap pointment of a colored postmaster, and ouly the negroes received mail there. The whites either mail their letters on the tram or send them off to be mailed ; and on the arrival of the mail, a peti tion, signed by all the white citi zens, is sent in for their mail, and it is carried to a store in town to be distributed. If Lofton send in his resignation, it will greatly re lieve the citizens of Hogausville. Wm. E. Goebel, democratic con testor for governor ofKentucky was shot Tuesday in the right side, while passing through the state house yard on his way to the cap itol. The ball passed entirely through his body but it is thought by his that the wound will not prove fatal. The person who did the shooting is not known. Several arrests have been made, but there is not sufficient evidence to convict any one. This is very unfortunate atfair, especially for the Republicans, as it will create sympathy for Goebel, and, if he lives, he may yet be governor of his state. Later —The election supervisors have declared Goebel governor, fayrct issued a proclamation de claring a state of insurrection and adjourning the legislature. The democrats, however, refused to recogDize Taylor as governor, and yesterday afternoon were running through the city in search of a place to meet, but were intercept ed by the troops at every point. Goebel was still alive at 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon, but the phy siciaus had giveD up all hope of his recovery. THE CENSUS. Mr. J. H. Witzel, of Blue Ridge, Ga., will soon divide the Ninth Congressional District into enu merators’ districts for the taking of the twelfth census. As soon as this division is made, we will pub- I lisb in these columns the number i of districts in Gwinuett county and where they are. In the meantime, it will be well for all who want the enumerator’s posi tion to make out their application, secure the endorsement of all the prominent men in the countv, es pecially the close friends of Con gressman Tate, and forward the same to Mr. Witzel. When Mr. Witzel was first appointed we were informed that he was a republi can, but that is a mistake. He is a democrat, and secured his ap pointment through the influence *of Mr. Tate. This is a republican administra tion, but the democrats in Geor gia were fortunate enough to se cure about half the supervisors for this state, and the Ninth district gets one of them. The census will be taken iuJune, End the enumerators will receive over $5.00 a day. They will be rbqoired to ask you lots of ques tions aboqt your name, age, place of birth, wHoo you were married, your children, how much you owe, how many cows, chickens, hogs, etc. you have, and a great many other questions which you may th>nk do not ooncern them, and you must answer them promptly and correctly. If you refuse to answer any of these questions, it i* a misdemeanor, and you may be sued according to the census law, SIOO. But as far as Gwinnett county is concerned we are sure that there will be no trouble in getting the people to answer all the questions, unless the girls re fuse to give their exact age. Girls, don’t forget that if you were six teen when the census was taken tan ago, you are twenty-six pt>w, CITY COURT, There is an impression in the county that a case can be tried in the City court, then carried to the Superior court and tried over again. This is not true. If a cast is tried ii ■ the City court and ap pealed to Superior court, it is tried before the Judge in Cham bers, not in open court, and doesn't cost the county a cent. The News-Herald is not taking, and is not going to take any stand either for or against the City court. It is the people’s court. If they want to sustain It, a 1 right. If they wish to vote it out, we shall make no complaint. However, from time to time, if any false impressions are circula ted either for or against the City court, we shall consider it our duty to correct them. Our columus are open for a full discussion of the merits of the 1 City court, and we shall be glad ' to publish all communications upon this subject. THI PAT Or JURORS. At nearly every session of the Superior court, an effort is made to reduce the pay of jurors from two dollars a day to a dollar, and in order that the people may be set right about this matter, we publish below an act, introduced by Maj. W. K. Simmons when he was in the legislature, and passed Aug. 28, 1872: An act. to regulate the pay of grand and traverse jurors in the county of Gwinnett. Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa tives of the State of Georgia in the General Assembly met, That, from and after the passage of this act, the pay of grand and traverse jurors, in the county of Gwinnett, shall be two dollars per day. Section 2. Repeals conflicting laws. Approved August 28, 1872. OCONEB KHDOKBKS SOLICITOR BBAVD. The grand jury of Oconee coun ty unanimously endorsed Solicitor C. H. Brand for re-election. Col. Thomas Shackelford and his broth er were there, and did all they could do to get the jury to make no recommendation at all, but their efforts proved futile, and Col. Brand easily won the first contest. The following is the en dorsement of the Oconee grand jury: “Inasmuch as the people now have the right, and during this year will be called upon to select their own Solicitor-General, this jury, as an organized body of this court, and as citizens of Oconee UUUUHJ, UW2SII W tu 1 LB CDOIC6 for the successor of the present incumbent, We believe that Mr Brand has given general satisfac tion to the people of this county. In the discharge of his duties he has so conducted himself as to de serve and win the confidence of the people. We, therefore, hearti ly endorse, his candidacy for re election to this office, aud recom mend him to our people and the people of this circuit as a faithful, efficient and able prosecuting at torney, and trust that he may have no trouble in being re-elect ed for another term to this office.” The case against Brigham H. Roberts, the Utah congressman, has come to a close. He has been excluded from the house.of repre sentatives, and will return to Utah. Roberts says that his peo ple have been unjustly denied a representative, but that he will not be a candidate for re-election in order to vindicate his charac ter. “In another column appears a financial report of the disburse ment of the public money of Gwinnett, county for 1899, as gathered from the vouchers in the hands of County Treasurer, Mr. C. 1) Jacobs.” The # above is exactly;what we said in our issue of 18th of Janu ary about the expenditures cf 1899. There are no vouchers in the Treasurer’s office for the Tax Collector, nor for anv others than those accounted for in our article. Mr. J. H. Hale, of Glastonbury, Conn., has predicted that Georgia will have an abundance of peaches this year. Mr. Hale is considered good authority • He came South last year in January and predicted that the peach crop would be a complete failure, and sure enough it was. We hope that his predic tion for 1900 will prove true, and that every orchard will be loaded with delicious fruit. hoyl,eT Some of our citizens are just now winding up gathering their cotton crop of 1899. Rev. McKenuy, of Norcross, car ried on a protracted meeting sev eral days at Bethel last week. Mrs. M. J. Williams, of Dah lonega, has been here for seme time visiting her sister, Mrs. H. A. Nuchols. We hope that some time in the future the News-Herald will re print Miss Myra West’s article on education. What a blessing both to teachers and children if parents would read it, carefully consider it, and obey its very wise sugges tions. Its author deserves the heartiest congratulations of every teacher. A pound supper was enjoyed by a great many of our young folks at the home of H. H. Corley Satur day night. Ed Reeves and John Holbrooks visited Atlanta last week. The young people enjoyed a par ty at Bob Wilson's Monday night. Miss Lilia Meaders, of Hastings, Ga., spent several days with the Misses Corley last week, and in company with Miss Clara Corley, visited our school Friday evening. Come again, ladies. Mr. King, of East Atlanta, is here getting up provisions to sell to his neighbors in the city. YELLOW HI VEIL The farmers of this community are beginning to prepare for an other crop. Miss Sillie Nash, of Lithoriia, visited relatives in our section re cently. Mrs. G. W. Simmons has been quite sick for a few days, but is better at this writing. There is quite a lot of sickness in our community. The school at this plaes is in a flourishing condition. Prof. Lind say is an excellent teachsr, aud liked by the patrons. Dr. G. S. Kelly was in our ville yesterday. CARL After a year spent in Winder, Judge Hutchins and family have returned to their former home at Carl. Mrs. Patrick and children spent Sunday with her parents, Nr. aud Mrs. Tom Lanier. Miss Mimmie Perry left Thurs day for Atlanta, where she will visit Miss Birdie Smith, and will be present at the Smith —Perry wedding. Prof. W. H. Mbxwpll spent Sat urday in Trip attending the Teach ers’ Institute. There must be some handsome attraction at Winder for Messrs. Nim and Henry Perry as they spend all Sunday evening thi re. Miss Kate Adams visited her parents Sunday. Mr. Charlie Pate, of Atlanta, visited bis brother Mr. Hiram Pate, a few days ago. Mrs. H. r \ Hill, of Wiinder, and Mr Nim Porn* will Smith-Perry wedding in Atlanta, Jan. 81st. Perry-Raiuey College of Carl and Auburn has a very large at tendance aud is rapidly progres sing. Miss Alma Booth, daughter of Mr. Mr. Charlie Booth of Walton Co. who has been attending school at Perry-Rainey, returned,Monday to resume her studies. 11AK1US ACADEMY. Mrs. Davis is not expected to live. With this exception, our community is enjoying good health. We admire the sentiment of Judge Estes, and hope our own judge will follow suit. It seems to be the desire of all, or a large majority, that we have the dog law. Our clever and jovial songster, G. W, Cowsert, gave our Sunday school a call last Sunday and was elected ohorfster, but alas! when will we see him again ? The patrons met and duely elect ed thiir trustees for another term, wo hope satisfactory to all, and trust they will visit and give the school their hearty encouragement and support. J. A. Smith attended the Teach ers’ Institute at Trip Saturday and says some seemed interested in something more important than merely discussing the “Art and Science of Teaching.” Oh, the “hopes aud fears I” We have ex perienced them. Aunt Margaret Simontou, an esteemed and highly respected old lady of this place, who is now in her 74th year, can boast of being able to attend to all her work with almost as much ease and quickness as a woman of forty, aud hardly ever wears glasses to read. How many of our young women will live their alloted time aniir be able to say as much ? TRIP. Mrs. A. C. Roberts is very sick with typhoid fever. We hope for her a speedy recovery. C. D. Jacobs aud family visited | their daughter, Mrs. Mamie Has- : lett, at Haslett Sunday Bose Nix, who has been very j sick for several weeks, we are glad to state is about well again. Reubin Williams, of Snellville, was here last Saturday. J. P. Padgett, of Atlanta, was| “He La:tc'.: . Jest Who Laaa.e List.” A hearty laugh indicates a degree ej good health obtainable through pure blood. Aj but one person in ten has pure blood, the other nine should pur 'j the biood •with Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Then they can laugh first, last arji ail the time, for here last week. Also W.V. Brown lee, from the same place. Prof. J. W. Cogging, from Cor inth, passed through town Sunday afternoon and atopped a short while. George Webb and wife, of Law rercevPle, were here to see the iatter’s parents Sunday. Mr. Harris, of Bethlehem, was here Saturday. He says our town is certainly on a boom. J. W. Ford and wife visited rel atives at Windsor Sunday. Miss Verlin Rawling, who has been sick so long, is slow.'y im proving. The infant of J. S. Bennett died last Saturday and was buried at Chestnut Grove Sunday. HAYNES CHEEK. A. C. Rawlins and Miss Cora Hannah, of Atlanta, were here Saturday and Sunday. The patrons of our school met Friday evening aud elected the trustees of the school, T. A. Clow er and C. B. Cannon were elected for two years. T. A. Pate, J. A. nier and J. N, Rawlins were elect for one year. T. A. Pate was made Chairman. The writer had the pleasure of attending the teachers’ meeting at Trip Saturday, and ever since that time he has been thinking about grading the schools in this county. What a blessing on the child, pat ron and teacher if such a thing were done 1 But tnere are so ma ny hindrances. In the first place, nearly all of the school houses would have to be differently lo cated. That is, they should be so situated as to give each school from 80 to 100 pupils, and two teachers to each school. In the second place, the above would be a failure unless we had a compul sory education. They might be graded successfully if we had 100 energetic, enthusiastic and conse crated teachors, who have the “get up and get” abont them to make it a point to be continually urging « •««! fAnnKing Lio |j<»krona that T/0 educate his children is not only a duty he owes his child, his couuty and his stato, but it is a duty he owes to God, and one he will be held accountable for on judgment day. I s&y unless we can educate the patrons up to the point where they can see clearly that it is a di vine duty resting upon them to ed ucate their children, and the many advantages of seudi’.ig to school regularly, neither graded schools, city schools nor colleges will ever do their children any good, Give us school houses properly situated aud patrons worked up to the point where they will send their children every day, hot or cold, wet or dry, unless sickness pre vents, and the schools of this coun ty can be graded very easily. HARBIN. The farmers are preparing for another crop. Our hustling merchant is doing a good business at this place. Rice & Hall closed down their gin last week. They ginned 517 bales of cotton this Beason with a sixty-saw gin . Who can beat it ? We would like to have a tele phone at this place. Mrs. Robt. Ethridge is not ex pected to live. C. D. Jacobs passed through our town one day last week. Oscar Yancy aud wife visited relatives near Trip Saturday and Sunday. Profs. Kilgore and Williams visited home folks Saturday and Sunday The schools at this place are in a flourishing condition. The weddinjg bells are ringing at a lively rate. Five couples were married the first Sunday, two the third, and one will be mar ried the first. other one next Sunday. Let the good w ork go on. The farmers say they are not going to buy guano at the present prices. It seems that the dog law will pass in spite of what the people 6ay. As a matter of course the farming class of people don’t want it. In m'y judgement, it is taking the last privilege from us. If it does become a law you will tiud the courts filled up with more murder cases than ever before, for I have heard men say that if the bailiff killed their dogs they would kill him. How are we go- The Overwhelming Power of Cash, in a tight money was never better demonstrated than by these timely purchases. We had our own way. The advantage is yours. Can you realize their value ?

BROGDON, Suwanee, Ga. iiig to defend our gardens, fields, and orchards unless we are al lowed to have a dog ? And if a tax of oue dollar is impossed upon him, we can’t afford to keep a dog. We don’t agree with Jadge Estes when he says that dogs were the cause of the abandon ment of sheep raising; it was be cause woolen goods could bo bought cheaper than we could raise it. So let the dog law be knocked higher than a kite. McKENDHIE. The farmers are all beginning to ptepare for another 5c cotton crop. We are glad to say the sick of our community are all improving. Jack Brogdon is able to be out again. Miss Della Roberts, of Jackson Academy, visited Miss Etta Crow Saturday night. Miss Etta Bracewell is visiting her sister, Mrs. Ellen King, mar Gloster.

Langley has cut his foot MANY young women are completely prostrated for • week out of every month by menstrual suffering*. The terrors of menstruation overshadow their whole lives. How needless this is in most cases is shown by the thousands of grateful letters constantly coming to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., from women she has helped. Miss Joie Saul, Dover, Mich., writes as follows to Mrs. Pinkham: ‘•I suffered untold agony every month and could get no relief until I tried your medicine; your letter of ad- vice and a few bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound have made me the happiest woman alive. I shall bless you as long as I live." omicc Rosa Helden, 126 W. d Ave., Canton, 0., ‘■Dear Mrs. Pinkham— >ur years ago I had almost ivenup hope of ever be dreadful headache spells which would sometimes last three or four days. Also had backache, bear ticea, dizziness, and terri : pains at monthly periods fining me to my bed. er reading so many testi lials for your medicine, I eluded to try it. I began o pick up after taking he first bottle, and have continued to gain rapidly, and now feel like a different woman. I can recommend Lydia E.

Write to Mrs. Pinkham for aid. Her experience la the widest in the world and her advice is free. with an axe. D. S. Williams is assisting G. M. Brown in his school.
