The Democratic executive com
mittee of DeKalb county has or
dered that each candidate who
desires to enter the primary elec
tion in that county must, pay $5
on or before the Ist day of May.
The funds thus raised are to be
used iu defraying the expenses of
the election.
The Atlanta Journal has begun
a crusade against the women
wearing hats in church, and we
heartily endorse the movement.
Why shouldn’t a woman take off
her hat in church as well as a
man ? She is certainly more
comfortable with her hat off than
on, her appearance is equally as
goad, and every person is allowed
the privilege of seeing the preach
er’s face.
Politics aro exceedingly quiet in 1
this county, possibly more quiet
than in our neighboring counties.
Over in DeKalb there is plenty of
excitement for the lovers of poli
tics, especially in the Sheriff’s
race in which the candidates are
fighting each other in the news
papers. In Hall the primary for
county officers comes off in May,
and there are many candidates for
all the offices. The sheriff's race
is the most exciting. Down in
Walton, the primary doesn’t come
off till August, but many candi
dates have already announced in
the county papers. Here the state
senator is exciting the most inter
est. There are three strong men
who aspire to this office. Every
thing is pretty quiet in Jackson,
but there are many aspirants for
all the offices.
Sometime ago the Democratic
executive committee of Monroe
county called upon the State
house offioers for $4 each to defray
the expenses of the primary in
that county. State School Com
missioner Glenn was the only man
to respond to the call, and the
other day when the tickets for the
May primary appeared, it was
found that Mr Glenn was the
only state house officer whose
name was on the tickets. The
rest of the state house officers say
they are not going to pay the r#
quired money, and the committee
persists in refusing to publish the
tickets. So, it may be possible
that no state ticket will be voted
for in Monroe county. Really it
makes ho difference, aB there isn’t
a single contest, and one vote will
re-elect the entire state tioket.
This is the farmer’s principal
time to do his work; and, unless
he puts in good time during the
months of April, May, and June,
he need not expect to win success
as a tiller of the soil. At all
times of the year a farmer can
find things to do that will be
profitable to him, but at this sea
son he must work hard. In the
other avocations, the conditions
are different. A merchant, to
succeed, has to work every day in
the year. The doctors and lawyers
are kept at their offices all the
time to accommodate their pat
ronage, and in nearly all the other
professions there is no place for
rest or leisure. With the farmer
there is a time called “laying-by
time,” which is given to rest and
pleasure; and, in the winter
months, there are many days,
some times weeks, in which they
can do nothing. So taking the
farmer’s life as a whole, although
it may be a hard one at this sea
son of the year and in the fall, it
is no harder than that of any
other avocation.
THE STATE SENATOR.
What right ha* Gwinnett county
to require the candidates for state
senate to say that they will abide
by the result of vote on state Pro
hibition in this county in the next
general election ? Will not our
senator represent DeKalb and
Henry as well as Gwinnett ? The
rulings of our executive commit
tee are that no candidate for state
senate shall be voted for in the
primary on the Ist of August un
less he pledges himself to vote for
State Prohibition, if the majority
of the votes in the next general
election shall be for that measure,
and that he will support Local
Option in the event that more
votes are cast ft>r that measuie
than for State Prohibition. In
making this provision for the set
tlement of the prohibition ques
tion, isn't the committee assum
ing too much authority?
Hasn’t this county just as much
right to make a platform for the
congressman from the ninth con
gressional district as this commit
tee has to make a platform for
state senator from the 34th sena
torial district ? Of course, Gwin
nett has the right to name the
slate senstor for the next legisla
ture, but has she the right to say
that he shall vote for or against a
measure that is of the deepest
concern to the whole state, with
out consulting the wishes of De-
Ka’b or Henry ? We contend that
DeKalb and Henry ought to be
allowed to vote on this question,
and that the majority of the three
counties should determine the
vote of the senator from this dis
trict, or that this part of the rul
ings of the executive committee
ought to be repealed, and leave
our senator to vote for the whole
interest of Georgia as best be sees
it.
THE POPULISTS. f
Mr. J. L. Chupp, of DeKalb '
c junty, who was a Populist can- *
didate for state senator from this i
senatorial district two years ago 1
against Mr. Morrison, the Demo- *
cratic candidate, has again aligned 1
himself with the Democrats and ‘
is now a member of the Demo- ‘
cratic executive committee of 1
DeKalb county. ‘
In nearly every issue, we an- '
nounce the return of some distin
guished Populist, sometimes whole
counties, to the Democrats. '
With the loss of such men as
Hon. Thomas E, Watson, the
brainest and purest leader ever
connected with Populism; Hon.
Thos. E Winn, who is being
commended all over Georgia for
that patriotic letter to the Popu
lists, which appeared in the News-
Herald a few weeks ago; ex-Popu
list candidate for governor Sea
born Wright; member of the state
Populist executive committee,
Parrott; and Chupp of DeKalb,
what temaineth to convince any
man that the Populist party of
Georgia, so far as ever getting
office is concerned, is dead ? We
understand that some of the Pop
, ulists in this county are chuckling
over our idea that the Populist
. party of this county is going to
pieces. You needn't to laugh,
brother Populist. It is only a
1 short time till you will have to
3 return to the Democrats or join
3 the Republicans. Where were
r your leadiug Populists in your
1 last state convention ? Why
weren’t Hon. Mel Branch of Co
-1 lumbia county, Judge Hines, ex
-3 candidate for governor, McGregor
3 of Thompson, Mehaffey of Jack
* son, and many other ot your Pop
-3 ulist leaders there ? They know
3 too well that there is no hope for
1 Populism, and no longer Buy use
tc continue the fight.
1 The majority of the Populists of
> this county are good citizens, and
1 aro deeply interested in the man
-1 age-meut of our county, Btate and
national affairs, and what’s the
use of their disfrauchising them
selves by staying off in a little
crowd, whose strength is never
strong enough to accomplish what
they desire ? Of course, they are
not disfranchised so far as voting
in the general election is concern
ed, but the Democratic primary
has been the real field of contest
in the south ever sinoe the Civil
War, and it is going to remain so;
( therefore, why should auy man
. align himself with a party which
, is not allowed to vote in the pri
, mary where every co aity, state,
, and national issue is settled, for
, the purpose of voting in the hope
, lesß minority in the general elec
, tiou ? Iu the next general elec
. tiou in this state, every candidate
. from constable to governor will
. have been named, and every de
. maud that the Democrats want
, will be outlined in a platform,

and every Populist vite to the
contrary will uot amount to a
farthing You cau stand aloof
from the Democratic primary, see
many men get office that you may
uot deaire, see issues settled in
which you aro deeply interested,
yet the only glory you are able to
get out of your position is the
privilege of casting your ballot
for a hopeless cause. The Popu
lists claim that the Democrats
have stolen their platform. If
so, what fnrther necessity is there
for a continuance of their party ?
Why not have a reunited Democ
racy, and present a bolder front
to the common enemy, the Repub
licans ? Who is responsible for
so many negroes being put into
office in Georgia ? This is a white
man’s state, the majority of the
people are white, and every office,
great or email, ought to be held
by white men. Yet the Postmas
ter at Athens is a negro, the Col
lector of Internal Revenue is a
negro, and there are hundreds of
subordinate offices in the state
held by negroes. Who is re
sponsible ? Did the Democrats
ever put a negro into officp
in Georgia ? No. If the Popu
lists had voted solidly for Wm. J.
Bryan in the last presidential elec
tion, he would be the president
today, instead of Mr. McKinley,
and the head of the Internal Rev
enue department, and all the other
officers in the Btate except those
under the civil service where they
cannot be removed except*for in
competency, would be held by
white men.
As the Populist party is rapidly
disintegrating, in fact it seems
that there are going to he two
Populist candidates for president,
let the white people of the south
unite under the common banner
of Democracy, settle all issues in
side her ranks, and let that union,
peace, and prosperity reign which
has ever been characteristic of the
Southern people.

Lawrenceville News-Herald:
I enclose 75c to renew my sub
scription for one year. I regret
that I have not done this ere now.
It is not lack of interest, for I as
sure you that as a Gwinnett born
and bred young man such could
not be the case. It is lack of at
tention when I have the time to
attend to such matters. I am
proud of the county of my birth,
and doubly so now since Lawrence
ville has, through unity and busi
ness enterprise, made all arrange
ments for a cotton factory. You
have now took the right step. Suc
cess and prosperity is yours. One
factory will most certainly follow
another. To get the first is the
only burden. Five years hence
Lawrenceville will be the town of
its section. And, Mr. Editor,
much credit is due you for your
untiring efforts for the upbuilding
of your town. Success to The
News-Herald, Lawrenceville, and
Gwinnett, the banner county of
the grand old state of Georgia, is
my wish.

NORCROSS.
The Gwinnett County Teachers’
Association was the one all-absorb
ing subject of interest here for a
week previous to its meeting last
Saturday.
Our asually quiet little town
was all astir early in the morning,
and numbers of our citizens were
out wreathed in their brightest
smiles to greet the visiting teach
ers. Nothing speaks so well for a
community as the interest it
evinces iu educational affairs; its
desire to see, to know, and to judge
frr itself whether those into whose
hands is given, in a great meas
ure, the moulding of the charac
ters of its children are worthy of
the trust.
Promptly at the appointed hour
the President called the Associa
tion to order, Mr. Huunicutt act
ing as Secretary.
The Mayor of Norcross gave the
teachers a most hearty welcome in
behalf of the citizens, and Mr. Du-
Bose for the teachers of the Nor
cross Public School, which was re
sponded to in a few happily chosen
words by Mr. Gresham.
Commissioner Bagwell then
made a short talk, glowing with
words of encouragement to the
teachers and impressing the value
and importance of this organiza
tion.
Mrs. Exum read an excellent
paper on ‘‘How to Obtain the Best
Results from Maxwell’s Gram
mars.”
Mr. Brooks talked most interest
ingly on “The Athens Normal
School, its Management and Meth
ods. ”
Mrs Houston’s talk on ‘‘Pri
mary Arithmetic” was very in
structive.”
Miss Dnßose followed with a
well written paper on “Chart
Work.”
After dinner Mr. Ware talked
on “How to Obtain Concentration
of Thought Among Pupils.” His
short lecture was replete with new
ideas and valuable suggestions to
the teachers.”
Next was a spirited and at times
very amusing discussion on School
Discipline.
Miss LaHatte held the audience
spell bound by one of her inimita
ble recitations.
Not till the shadows grew long
were good-bys said, and as the last
and only vehicle drove off, your
correspondent awakened from his
reverie, and sighed to thiuk, “It
might have been.”
The facts are: A few teachers
came, but there was no morning
session. In the afternoon ten
teachers and two visitors were
present, aud spent an hour or two
in pleasant conversation; that was
all.
Surely the Gwinnett teachers,
the teachers of the eighty schools
in the county can aud will do
better than this.

We meet sorrowfully to pay the
last tribute of respect to Mrs. Da

ter Davis was born May 12, 1865,
was married Aug. 11, 1881, united
with the church at Alcovia Aug.,
1882, was baptised by Eld. G. L
Bagwell, and lived consistent
Christian life until her death. She
died Feb. 4, 1900 We feel that in
her death the church has lost a
good member, her husband a de
voted wife, her children a kiud
mother. But this is the will of
Him thas doeth all things well.
As she bore her sufferings with
submission, we feel that our loss
is her gaiu..
Resolved, Ist, That the church
extend sympathy to the bereaved
family. That a copy of these res
olutions be given the family. That
the same be spread on our church
book, and that a copy be sent to

Consumption, when I heard of Dr.
