One of our correspondents makes
complaint about using “Uncle

course, the News-Herald is a
Southern paper, but that’s no rea

tions of American fiction. Since
it is a matter of history that “Un
cle Tom’s Cabin” had more to do
in causing the last Civil War than
any one thing, isn’t it reasonable
to suppose that every well-inform
ed person would like to read it ?

. Another Name Suggested.
Mr. Editor: It is rumored
over the county that several of
our leading citizens are seeking
the advice of friends whether it
would be safe for them to make
the race for Senator for the 84th
Senatorial district.
Every one whose name has been
mentioned is an honored citizen
and worthy of any office for which
they might aspire. But as all
office is the gift of the people, al
low me to suggest a candidate,
the name of one who may not
have any aspirations for this
office, but who has heretofore
filled offices of honor, dignity and
trust to the satisfaction of the
people and the state, and who, if
elected Senator, will honor the
district by his distinguished name
and ripe experience—l mean the
Hon. N L. Hutchins, Sr,
Let your worthy correspondents
in your two next issues of your
paper show the local sentiment of
the county on this important
question, and I believe tho result
will satisfy all aspirants, and
Voter.
Ih- Button tc the Political Arena of
3win-Btt Will be Touched
Next Week.
Superi r court convenes here
next Monday, and pursuant to a
| time-honored custom all candi
dates for the different offices to be
fill'd by the voters of Gwinnett,
will bo expected to fall in line at
| this time.
You know the medium through
j which this news is imparted, so
! send your $5.00 in time for our
| next issue so that we can tell the
people who you are and what you
want.
That the woods are full of as
pirants you have only to observe
of the favorable mentions below:
For Senate. —G. H. Jones, W.
T. Smith, J. E. McElroy, L. F.
McDonald, H. W. Rhodes.
Legislature. —G. A. Clements,
N. L. Hutchins, Jr., J. O. Haw

So far as we are able to observe
all these probable caudidateß are
good men, and any of them would
make a strong race.
It was thought till recently that
Messrs. Pate and Hutchins would
return to the House undisturbed,
but there can be no doubt as
to a lively race for these positions.
We want your cards for our
next issue that the great crowds
characteristic of a Gwiunett Su
perior court may Bee who you are
and enlighten themselves as to
your claim for the office while
they can Bee men from every part
of the county.
We will publish candidates cards
for $5.00 cash in advance, and
those who will, in the discharge of
their duties necessarily have to
pass upon issues that are now
warm in the minds of the citizens
of Gwinnett, shall have sufficient
space in these columns to express
your views upon the different
topics.
Politicians will tell you that
hundreds of votes are virtually

HON. 0. H. BBAND.
The manv friends of Hon. C. H.
Brand are gratified to know that
he is to be re-elected to the office
of Solicitor-General without oppo
sition, at least from his own party.
The Tribune has believed from the
start that this would be the case,
for it recognized the fact that Col.
Brand bad made a most enviable
record as an officer, and the people,
ever ready to accord honor to a
faithful servant, would not be slow
in giving their hearty endorsement
by a re-election when the opportu
nity offered.
It is no derogation to the ability
of Col. Shackelford of Athen*, who
at first thought of making the race
against Col. Brand, to say that he
would have been defeated had he
remained in the race, for there was
no man in the circuit that could
have been elected over Charley
Brand.
His friends in Walton county are
this week showering their congrat
ulations upon him, for they feel a
special interest in his success, from
the fact that he is “unto the man
ner born,” having first saw the
light of day in the good old dis-1
trict of Buncombe, nearLoganville.
Along with his host of friends, |
The Tribune joins in congratula
tions. Charley Brand is a network
of brains and energy, and as these
elements are the moving powers iu
politics a* well as business, we look
for him to attain higher honors
about the first year of the next
century. We reiterate our predic
tion of last week that he will suc
ceed Carter Tate iu Congress. Ei
ther that, or Judge Dick Russoll
will go to Congress, and then Char
ley Brand will be tho Judge. In
that event, who will succeed to
the Solicitorship ?—Walton Trib

Hon. F. F. Juhan May Enter the Bare For
the Legislature.
Current report has it in every
section of Gwinnett that a strong
pressure is being brought to boar
upon Mr. Juhan to enter this fight.
Any words of commendation for
this man are wholly unnecessary.
His record as a through and
through domocrat, a lawyer of
marked ability and an all-round
good citizen has been made.
No man has given the Lawrenoe
ville bar more honor than this gen
tleman; no citizen has passed more
laurels to the patriotism of Gwin
nett than this worthy hero. Gwiu
nett hasn’t a man to do honor that
is more deserving than Mr. Julian,
Since entering public life he has
always played a conspicuous part
in passing honor to the citizenship
of this county, and he stands
yet uuhouored by the hands of his
many loyal constituents.
Should he line up for this en
counter, a fight to the finish is as
sured, and that he will make a
strong opponeut no oue can ques
tion

Dr. Tucker is getting about all

Mr. Legg, of Buford, was in town
this week, and indicates his wil

Legg is one of cur best citizens,
and a full fledged candidate. Judge
N. L. Hutchins is also spoken of
for the State Senate. It is safe to
say that the Jqdge cau win with
