The News=Herald. Enter**.! at the Lnwreooeville, poatofliee a* second mail matter. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Official Organ Gwinnett Connty. laiwaceYille Pablisbing Co., Proprietors. JAS. A. BAGWELL, Editor. Ths News-Herald is for every enterprise that will aid iD upbuild ing our county. The Toccoa Record is for Carter Tate for United States senator, to succeed Hod. Steve Clay. A farmer that improves his farm add* reputation to his com munity, his county, and his state The farmers can do more for the upbuilding of Gwinnett county than any other class of citizens. We have noticed about over the county that there are a few farm ers that use the days.iu which the ground is too wet to plow, in rais ing the terraces. This is a good plan; but, unless terraces are kept high enough to hold the water during the great rains, there is no use of terracing. We are glad to say there are yet some farmers that have pride enough in their community and county to leave occasionally a beautiful tree by the roadside. What is a more delightful scene than a fine tree by the side of the public road, to be seen and ad mired by every traveler that pass es ? The "Hepburn Bill,” which has reci ntly passed the house of rep resentatives, provides for the pur chase of sufficient territory from Costa Rica and Nicarauga for the construction of a ship canal from Greytown, on the Carribean sea, via Lake Nicaranga, to Breto, on the Pacific ocean, and for the ap propriation of 110,000,000 to be used iu its construction. Next Tuesday the 15th is the time for the Btate Democratic primary; and, although there is not a single contest, yet it is the plain duty of every Democrat to go to the polls and vote. Of course, your vote will accomplish little, as the entire ticket will be elected if there isn’t a single vote from Gwinnett, yet it is a pretty good plan to form the habit of always exercising your privilege of voting. Chicago has never given any man the great ovation that she gave Admiral Dewey on his re cent visit to that city. The news papers may say what they please about Dewey, may curse him if they wish, but he fought the great est battle over fought on the deep, and his name will have a bright place on the pages of history in the years to come, when thousands of the newspaper critics will have been forgotten. Ability counts, aud a man, who possesses a high degree of intelli gence, will succeed regardless of circumstances. Hon. Thos. E. Watsou, in his own words, is num bered among the political dead, but he is now achieving enviable distinction in another field. His “Story of France” is a literary production of rare merit, and is receiving the praises of the high est critics in the north, as well as the south. Small, Maynard & Co., of Boston, have engaged him to write the life of Thomas Jef ferson in their Beacon Biographies. It seems strange that any Dem ocratic newspaper should ever speak slightly of Grover Cleve land. Here is what a leading New York paper says: “If Mr. Cleveland were to allow his name to be mentioned before the body that assembles at Kan sas City on July 4, its reception would be a spectacle worth going miles to behold. The man who should mention it would be fortu nate if he escaped alive.” Such criticisms as the above are frequently found in leading Dem ocratic papers, and to be candid we have never been able to see the sense of such uncalled for attacks. Mr. Cleveland is a gold bug, and we are against him on that issue, but he is one of the greatest men of this day, and the only man since the Civil War, that has led the Democrats to success. So far. as we are able to observe, he hasn’t a shadow of chance to be nomina ted for President in Kansas City on July 4th; but, if he could be placed at the head of the ticket, bis views on the money question and imperialism would sufficiently strengthen the democratic party to carry the east, and, of course, the south will go solidly democrat ic, regardless of who may be the candidate for President. The votes from these two sections, together with the votes from the other States, which would be likely to go Democratic, would insure suc cess to the Democrats. But it is folly to talk about Cleveland or any other maD than Wm. J. Bryan for the Democratic candidate for J the ueat President of the United States. i STILL THWT OOMK. We announce every week the re turn of some Populists to the Democrats, sometimes, whole counties. In this issue, we eclipse jour previous record on this line, land are able to tell the remaining Populists in this county that the Populists of the whole state of Alabama have recently given up the fight, and returned to the Democratic party. The efforts of the Populists of that stato to have a state convention resulted in a failure, only six counties being represented. Some discussion was indulged in by the delegates from these few counties as to whether a state Populist ticket should lie announced, but it was finally de cided to discontinue the fight, and no state ticket was named. So the Populists, so far as Alabama is concerned, is dead. When it is remembered that Alabama was a stronger Populist state than Georgia, for there was one Populist congressman elected from that state, and none from Georgia, it is rather amiming that Georgia Populists should be the last to find out that it is useless to continue their party or ganization. The Western circuit has no op- 1 position for Solicitor General, and ' as the counties of Oconee and 1 Franklin have postponed the se lection c f county offices and rep resentatives to a later date they have decided not to hold a prima ry, but a mass meeting, and in this manner elect delegates. Banks, Clarke, and Jackson will elect everything on May 15th. Gwinnett and Walton will hold a primary for state house officers, Senator, Congressman, and Solic itor General, but a small vote will be polled, as no candidate has opposition. Mr. Brand, the Solicitor Gener al, has written to the chairman of the democratic executive commit tee of the counties of Franklin and Oconee, suggesting that they had better open a primary at the court house wheu the mass meet ing assembled and vote by ballot, otherwise if the question be raised the state convention might deny those counties representation. A BAD ATTACK. Hickory Level, Ga., May 4, 1900. Mrs. E. Turner, of this place, had a bad attack of indi gestion, liver aud kidney trouble and rheumatism. She could not sleep, and was nervous and low spirited. She began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla and three bottles cured her and made her feel that life was worth living. This med icine cured her little son of a run ning sore, and it has been used in the family for several years. COTTON OROWSIII' CONVENTION. Next Saturday the Georgia Cot ton Growers’ convention will be held in Macon, and the eyes of the manipulator aud consumer will carefully i ote the proceed ings of this assemblage and its probable effects upon the cotton production of the state. Iu every wise this will be one of the most important conferences ever held by the farmers of Geo gia. They will not only consult among themselves aud exchange experiences, but will confer with the bankers, the warehousemen and all business men who are in terested iu the cotton producers of the South. The objects of the convention are manifold, its chief motive be ing to unite the farmers on one plan of action and to seek the best means of getting reasonable prices for their product. Several hundred farmers, bank ers, warehousemen, and business men from all over the state will be in attendance, and the entire state is interested in it. The pro ceedings will be conducted at the Academy of Music and will occupy all of Saturday. Macon is making preparations to give the visitors a warm wel- i come.—Macon Telegraph. » -t . t ... .. r, S ¥OU j 9 i <:■ need not lose flesh in summer :i if you use titc proper means 1 9to prevent it.

In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was convers ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers My firm belief, is “ that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living organ isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very common aud supposed incurable disease, catarrh.” “I wish. Doctor," said the traveling man, ‘-that you would tell us about catarrh. I have had it for years, and lam thoroughly discouraged." The Doctor answered. “Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it ie rare to meet one who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often is he or she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of many’ intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to himself and his friends. ....... . . , “ I believe,” continued this gre*t physician, “that the true way to heal ca tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives which act as blood purifiers.” . , .. Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes: Dear Sirs:—For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chrome catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again, i naa awful pains in the small at my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn tgo half a dozen steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get ting well. • I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief. My husband got me a bottle of Johnston’s Sarsaparilla. I took it, and then I bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved la health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy. lam positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life. The sick headache# I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston s Barsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who hare sick head aches to use your Sarsaparilla. MZOHiaAIf DH.UO- OOMPAWY, DHTROXT, MKXCHBLm A. M. WINN & SON, LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. Dabney & Sons, Dacula, Ga.
