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

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

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.

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.
